Nandini Malhotra is an eminent personality from the Academic
industry and has now tried her hand as a writer with her debut book,
‘Baaton Baaton Mein’. It is a book about
our everyday lives and very well carves out the intricate details of the
relationship of a man and women and their challenges and love that one can
relate to.
She has been into academics since last 25 years and has done
really well in that sector, and works at Millenium School as the Dean of
Activities. Her experience is such that she can write an entire series of short
stories, but to begin with she has planned to keep her writings short and crisp
and has presented a versatile series of stories in her first book. Shiromani Natakkar Jatinder Brar released her
book at Punjab Naatshala. As per the author, the book is a compilation of 25
short stories based on the complexities of relationships in todays’ time and
the theme has been weaved out in words in such a way that anyone can easily
relate to these stories. Manifesting her confusions, the characters of the
different stories in the book reflect pain with an array of tragic emotions,
which brings the depth in the entire series.
The inspirations for Nandini Malhotra were, Munshi Prem Chand,
Gulshan Nanda and Mahadevi Verma. She has been following their writings since a
long time and has developed her own style of writing. She got the confidence of
penning down a book with the feedback and comments she got from her published
write-ups in the newspapers. She said that she used to write down any incident
or experience and observation that stayed in her mind everyday and all those
efforts and experiences have now resulted into a book.
She has a strong opinion about the status of the
relationships in today’s scenario where she says that they have moved on from
‘I’ to ‘myself’ and this she says is the major reason for the breakups and
divorces, which are increasing day by day. She believes that with the
increasing trend of Facebook and Whatsapp we are loosing interest in meaningful
conversations face-to-face with our near and dear ones and have made this
virtual world a major part of our lives.
