Mukul Kumar

Shiva is handsome, an irresistible talker, well-off, lives in Delhi's poshest suburb, is a dutiful husband to the attractive Akriti and is a perfect father to their little son. So why is he the picture of disenchantment? Is it that not-so-uncommon human condition-boredom that sometimes accompanies fidelity-that haunts him? In Shiva's case, the discovery that Akriti has already found distraction with someone else frees him to look for excitement on his own-but with a mind conflicted between dharma and desire. Which is the path that he will choose to walk on? Shiva embarks on a journey to empirically explore different options-the sexually vibrant Sana and Mary, to name a few-but at the end, winds up with more questions than he started out with. To confuse things further, Akriti continues to occupy a tender place in his heart-as a woman first and a wife later. A slice-of-life tale, which is part reality and part legend, Seduction by Truth dares the modern reader to solve civilization's oldest puzzle-marriage.

Seduction by Truth

Srijita Sarkar 

Extreme pain often leads you on a journey of discovery.

Truth has a penchant for sitting deep inside, mostly settling at the bottom, and is disturbing to locate too, and that's why the inward journey to discover it is frightening

The scotch by now is rising to his head, deepening the melancholy and amplifying the infinity in his mind. Sadness, juxtaposed with alcohol, usually does that to a man: it turns his thoughts to doubtful contemplations about marriage, relationships, pain, pleasure, the intricacies of life...

Sir, you learn ideals in your books, we live them on ground...And God comes only after hunger.

A man should win the woman, even if she is his wife, rather than control her.

The fire untamed is macabre, the fire tamed is life

they are raging seas seeking the shores for some relief

Breasts are truly the speakers of a woman's heart

Shiva's tender touch instantly drives her molten, and she draws him into her hungry arms. Shiva caresses her hair to convey the surge of his affection, with their passion already gaining surety.  Silence takes over, hushing their loud passionate cries into gasps and whispers of long-denied lust...The room is dimly lit by the bedside lamps, wrapped in a sensous translucence, it is a sumptuous stage for the lover's first full body tryst.

Just imagine how boring would be the site of the sea kissing the shore without any surf washing over?
