Comedy comes easily to me. I don't know. Maybe its decades of sitcoms. I've never struggled to make spoofs, plays or just be an ass!! But there are genres I do wish I had the guts to try out - BROKEN ROADS cannot be classified under any such category as it was just a scream..but the one genre I'm almost scared to try because of the risk of falling flat is always Horror.
Which is why when I came across a typical prayer scene in a Malayalam channel, and my mind started thinking up variations , I thought I'd give it a shot.
CHASING AUGUST is that attempt at a new form of story telling...for me atleast. While it appeared to be quite small when I started off,I quickly realised that in all the buildup, this was gonna get really long. Eventually I had to 'cut it down' to 5 chapters. This is as close as you guys get to dog-earing Godyears!
Anyway,Hope you enjoy it. And please post your opinions here only rather than at each chapter..Happy reading. Or perhaps not.

ReplyDeletehey dude !! write more of such gory stuff . i had loved ur blog page mate . ROCk ON !! n write more
ReplyDeleteWow! Although frankly I don't enjoy ghost stuff.
ReplyDeleteThere are some things I particularly liked about the story:
1. The style rocks: you moved back and forth from past to present very nicely and used colors so readers don't get confused.
2. The pace was racey and gripping enough for impatient readers like me.
3. The language was also pretty good. Liked the way you described futility and clarity as a creeper.
4. The ending is the cherry on the top.
Would definitely think you should seriously get published.
