What would happen if one of those writers actually did accomplish this? Would it really turn as it was expected to? Shaukat Vashisht found out first hand in Shabd. As the publication of his second novel became hopelessly illusive to him, he began writing his third in a way he had never written before, fiction based on fact; the facts surrounding his life and that of his wife Antara, the women whom he entranced by his words so many times before. Her supportive and reserved nature allows her to follow his lead, not imagining where it was going to take her. Antara's love of the fashion world brings her in contact with a photographer named Yash. Although Yash falls undoubtedly in love with Antara, she does not reciprocate any affection towards this man, with whom it is almost impossible not to fall in love. That is.until the day when Shaukat asks her to do just that, for the sake of his novel. Hoping that chronicling their escapades will add the needed spice to his story, Shaukat forgets to factor in the effect these escapades would cause, sparking a chain of events that begin to spin his world out of control. Realizing too late what is happening; he desperately tries to change the direction of the novel and subsequently his life. Will he be able to turn back the hands of time and all they have taken with them, including Antara? Only by being present at the theatre to watch it, will the answers be revealed.   close   Print this Article http://www.bollyvista.com   http://www.bollyvista.com/article/a/30/3950
