“Maya is a powerful character — though silent, yet unforgettable! The length and pace of the novel is just optimum, no burden, no boredom! Even if you close the book, the story of Maya will not leave your memories so easily. Ketan has delivered a fantastic romance novel, that too, from the female point of views.” — Kevein Books and Reviews
About the Author:
For an engineer by academic background and a professional in engineering segment, writing is not something one normally associates with the profession. However, for Ketan, writing comes naturally to him. He believes he expresses his views better in written format than in oral.
A keen observer of life and its different shades, the bug to write something kept pushing him for quite a few years. His debut book, Shades of Pink, is a romantic novel that deals with ideological conflicts amongst three generations. From the mid-eighties till the modern-day India, the fiction weaves the love story amongst real life events that shape the crux of the story.
He feels the characters in the book reflect loosely many real-life people he has come across. He appreciates tremendous change that has happened in traditional Indian society over the years and hopes that his book will further make people think of women, their aspirations and feelings. For Ketan, even fictions must make people introspect and think of their views and attitudes towards everyone. If the book helps marginally to achieve this, he believes it would mean success for him. He is already set to write his next book, also a fiction.
