Gift of the Wind

I have always been a flower lover. Combining my love for flowers, literature, and poignant tales, I wrote 'Gift of the Wind'. The idea for the story came to me very suddenly one day, completely out of the blue. There is a quote from the famous poet Rumi that goes, ''While the mind sees only boundaries, Love knows the secret way there". In my story, the protagonist, like me, takes this quote to heart.

Creativity is a soup of chopped ideas, imperfections, and aspirations, that we stew in our brains and serve in a bowl of colors, words, and sounds. I sometimes start with the strangest, most random ideas, that I'll cook in my brain to produce something that simply expresses who I am.
