As one who loves to travel, for me one thing has always been of prime importance. I cannot write about a place unless I am moved by it, either because of memories or interesting legends associated with the place or something I feel to be significant. In some cases hot tourist spots leave me cold while a neglected corner makes me feel that it is well worth writing about. To Sail beyond the Sunset consists of 12 write-ups about places I have visited and loved. It is in 2 parts. The first is about places outside India while part II speaks of places in India. They describe my personal impressions and feelings and do not claim to be an all-inclusive fact file. But I sincerely hope that if my stories interest my readers they will visit the places and find out whatever else I may have left out.

The Life and Loves of Victoria chronicles the journey of a young and liberated Filipina who has just graduated from college and goes abroad to work as a customer service executive for a big shipping line.

This novel explores the intimate details of her romantic and sexual affairs in an unnamed country, in Singapore, and back in the Philippines. It follows her aspirations, desires, losses, survival, and triumphs.
As conveyed through the title, the characters in the novel suffer a similar fate to that of 'debris', a concept meant to evoke the images of the physical debris left over from the destruction caused by the recently ended Vietnam War. In this case however, the 'debris' is intangible and largely internal, found in the historical setting of the book, in society, in the characters' families, and even the psychological and emotional 'debris' of each individual person. The novel is a story not unique to Vietnam, but is one that applies to any morden day post-war period.Writers' Association Publishing HouseI finished Debris of Debris today. What a marvelous novel! The inter-related stories that make up the novel are fascinating and often charming. Your variety of characters and their stories give a poignant and comprehensive portrait of, as you write in your acknowledgements, "the lost generation of young Vietnamese intellectuals." Reading their lives saddened me once again, and in a very personalized way-because I could connect to them-that once we had tried to kill each other, and too often succeeded. In short, I was both enlightened and moved by the book. I'm very impressed also that you wrote it in English.Wayne Karlin - American veteran writer - Letter to the authorAt the moment, Vietnamese literature is lacking such a selection for English-speaking audiences. In this sense, Vinh Quyen's Debris of Debris is firmly planted at the center of a cultural crossroads.Zac Herman - Youth Weekly
"words breathe in silence" has been created with the stories that Anindita Bose has observed in life. Many of the ideas have been from the human world itself, with an open window to look at society differently or to accept the stories that are part of our own destiny. The purpose of this book is to begin a journey in which she can create more paths for herself and the people; the paths which perhaps will lead us all to connect together and look at life with more curiosity and zeal. "Each story is fueled by a refined knowledge of magical wisdom. Bose shows man in his reckless struggle with fate."- Anne Vegter,(former) Poet Laureate of the Netherlands"I noticed in the society how the women are given chances to bloom only to be crushed repeatedly," writes Anindita Bose in one of these stories in which she combines attention to daily life with another dimension that seems to come from a soul who is many years older than she actually is." - Franca MancinelliFano, Italy
Set in Bicol, the Philippines during the Martial Law era, the story revolves around a young girl determined to do what is right in the face of oppression.

In the introduction I referenced the work of Professor Hani Henry, According to him, chair and associate professor of psychology in the Department of Sociology, Anthropology, Psychology and Egyptology at AUC, Robert Sternberg's psychological theory covers the most common reasons why we fall in love, namely: intimacy, passion and commitment. But what this entails? We have aspects and needs and wants and these must be addressed properly. These aspects are Biological, Physical, Financial, Occupational, Environmental, Social, Emotional, Cultural, Intellectual, Psychological, Moral and Spiritual. I gathered relevant knowledge and works regarding them. We can fall in love with them.
"Somewhere, buried beneath the blur of blood and cries, behind the folds of insanity, the truth was waiting for her.' - Fragments of Delores coming May 25th 2020"- Claire C. Riley, Fragments of Delores
Death is a loss so irreversible, especially of a sibling, that it leaves behind a perpetual gloom, a ridiculous fear of being left alone. The fear alone having the power to make you do something horrific. Red Vine follows the life of thirteen-year-old Kafal who devastated by the death of his older brother, and his own inability to express his feelings, befriends a tree. What initially seemed as an outlet for his frustrations soon turns into something vast and impossible to control. Kafal doesn't remember sleeping well since his family moved into their new home after his brother's death. Its the dreams that play out when he shuts his eyes, dreams planted by the tree, making him privy to some uncomfortable truths about his family. This wasn't another wishing tree, but one that influenced Kafal's thoughts, changing its pattern, a natural malevolence colouring it. Kafal wants to believe that his aunt's death was an accident. But he is not sure anymore. And then who could he turn to? Not his controlling, compulsive mama, nor his casually aloof papa, and certainly not his little sister Kali, whose preoccupation with decapitated dolls only made him nervous, as much as her sleepwalking bouts.

Cry, so you shall smile. Weep, so that your sadness will take a sleep. ***Everyone yearns for gold. But for gilded tears? I doubt it. Every human cries and all of us shed tears, may it be a drop or an ocean. Though treacherous in times of pretend happiness, we can't deny how they made us feel alive in our hurt, light in our burden, and fortunate in our joy. Though they make our heads ache, our eyes bulging out, and our breaths short and forced, we cannot deny how no one else consoled us the way tears did. So don't be ashamed of crying alone or crying in front of everyone. After all, crying is not a sign of weakness-it's an emblem of being strong. These Gilded Tears is a collection of poetry and prose by Vittoria Winters and Charles Yspania that highlights the notion that every tear is a gold worth crying for.
