About The Book:
This collection of essays, titled Sayankaala (Twilight), was named thoughtfully by the author, in response to questions about why it was not named "Midnight" following the earlier collection Chandanyat (In the Moonlight). The name Sayankaala embodies a poetic reflection of twilight, a time between day and night, symbolizing the blending of poetry, humor, and philosophy in a subtle yet meaningful manner.

The author paints a picture of a setting sun with its golden rays casting upon a beautiful lake, where lotuses gently close their petals, and the sky begins to awaken with twinkling stars. This imagery captures the essence of the collection—poetry as soft and serene as the setting sun, humor tender like the closing petals of a lotus, and philosophy as minimal and sparkling as the stars emerging in the sky.

Through this collection, the author seeks to create essays that combine these three elements, inviting readers to reflect on life's profound moments, bringing smiles with humor, and inspiring thoughtful contemplation with the blend of philosophy. The essays in Sayankaala are a harmonious journey, embracing beauty, thought, and laughter, while never failing to leave a lasting impression on the reader's mind.
