Power Publisher’s New Release Nikhil Chandwani’s ‘I wrote Your Name in the Sky, and Yours’

June 16, 2012 - PRLog -- The book conveys the confused and meandering world of a teenager trying to make sense out of new emotions and feelings. It reads more like the diary of a flirt. The author is able to arouse the reader’s interest at the very beginning by portraying a flirt who was unaware of the word ‘flirt’ itself. The universe of the teenager is so intense, full of love, lust, romance, broken hearts… it’s fascinating read, and Chandwani has been able to portray all these emotions in his canvas. It is fast reading and full of interesting twists and turns and full of emotions the reader is very familiar with.

There have been books on teenagers and there have been books on their emotions but somehow, these images are not of only one individual. Hence the Title – ‘I wrote your name and Yours too…” It involves many more young people and the list is endless. At every stage of the teenager’s life he or she faces deception, is cheated and the hurt refuses to go away. It is an interesting portrayal of the neo-adult life- where aspirations are on the high, the zeal to make a difference for oneself is acute- and still the mind is overlapped with childlike innocence ready to take the deadly plunge into the real mayhem of chaotic existence. What seems rosy attracts but the taste of reality is later bittersweet leaving a long lasting impact in the reader’s mind- giving him the chance to identity with the protagonist.

Much of the work comes across as poetic images, disjointed sentences… the stream of consciousness that pervades the young… they do so many things at the same time. They live their own lives and also lives of others around them. It affects them and yet they are unable to perceive the feelings as one whole. Some can take the hurt along with the accolades but some are unable to take the hurt. They suffer broken, disjointed lives and some are even forced to give up the struggle. This is the life of a teenager. Eighteen year old S Nikhil Chandwani is a prolific writer. He writes fictional stories for various magazines, newspapers and websites. He is a lyricist, writer and a poet rolled into one. He is, at present, pursuing his engineering degree from VIT Vellore.
