TANU GROVER
Indian Romance Writer
Books: Could Love Be Forever?
Pure Pleasure
Anthologies: Mosaic of Poetic Musings, Kaleidoscope, Love notes to yourself, Andaz-e Bayaan
Upcoming books: Is Love A Sin?
Dil-e Daastaan
Tanu Grover is all set to enthrall the masses with her upcoming books, ‘Dil-e Daastaan’ and ‘Is Love a Sin?’ On being asked about the release dates of her books, she raves excitedly that she is planning a dual launch this year but the dates haven’t been finalized yet. She says that the books were actually lined up for 2022 but due to her son being bedridden for more than a year, things got delayed. She also reveals that her brother met with an accident during that period only which worsened things. And as if that was not enough, her mother, and two of her favorite aunts whom she also addresses as Mummy got fractures in their legs. To top it all, her maternal uncle fell off a roof and got multiple fractures. With tears in her eyes and yet, a brave smile she further says that seeing six of her most beloved people being bedridden and undergoing major operations in almost the same frame of time had totally collapsed her senses. She is extremely sensitive and can’t even see the misery of those people who are not related to her, so this was an immense shock to her though she herself is a happiness coach.
Tanu said, ‘Even though I have been training people to adapt and adjust to their circumstances and live a happy life irrespective of their outer conditions, I was totally shattered and unable to find even a grain of joy when life lashed me in the face. I couldn’t find happiness anywhere. Almost everybody recovered but not my son. We spent sleepless nights and equally sleepless days. In July, 2021 he fell down while playing cricket and we were told that he has a fracture in his foot and arm. The arm healed but he was totally bedridden, not able to move due to his painful foot. In February, 2023 we came to know that it was a non-cancerous tumor and not a fracture. So he had to undergo an operation. Now he’s perfectly fine, by God’s grace. But the last two years have been the most difficult part of my life. And yes, I have come out a survivor though I had lost all hope of ever being happy again.’
Now all her hopes are pinned upon her romantic thriller, ‘Is Love A Sin?’ which is a love story based on the law of karma. She punishes all who do wrong and teaches them the true meaning of love. It is going to be an enticing read, the publishers say. A tale woven with romance, passion, mystery, time travel, seduction and reincarnation where death has no power over love. ‘If love is timeless, lovers are timeless too. They take birth over and again to meet each other beyond all restrictions and touch each others’ souls in such a manner that on the very first meeting, they recognize each other as their soulmate though they may fight with themselves and not admit their love at first,’ beams Tanu while discussing the theme of her novel. On being asked about her second book, she further says, ‘Dil-e-Daastaan is a Hindi Shayari book which gives a voice to the broken-hearted lovers though it also glorifies the craziness of love which one feels towards one’s beloved.’ A beautiful book with yet more beautiful illustrations, Tanu is all geared up to slay her fans with her passionate love in 2023 and beyond.
