Description
Come, sit on these pages awhile to admire, ponder over, and sometimes get lost in the profound wisdom and hidden truths of these fleeting creations that Joginder Paul offers.
Bird in Flight, a volume of afsanche (flash fiction) by Paul, brings to you another facet of his artistry. These micro stories are slices of life that have been transmuted into sparkling gems of creativity. With such constraint on the use of words and so much abandon in meaning making, the reader is sure to feel the expanse of the artist’s vision captured consummately within the confines of the brevity of the microfiction form.
