Dear Ones! Loneliness. It is one of the topics that can divide families, friends, colleagues and acquaintances. Often, the reaction that surrounds this word impedes any further discussion on the topic. It is something that no one will voluntarily confess to feeling, yet it is more widely prevalent than any disease the world has ever known. While the concept of living with the parents is still popular in India, there has been a growing rift between the children and the parents. It is no longer safe to label it as generation gap only. It is far beyond that. With the idiot box gaining popularity with every passing minute, often the only sounds heard in a home are those emitting from it. People know more about the lives of their favourite characters in serials than what’s happening in the lives of their own family members. The book “Owner of a lonely heart” covers the extraordinary stories of eleven extremely ordinary people who are searching for a relief from their loneliness. There is a link that connects the characters through space and time - a search for a life more fulfilling and satisfying than their current existence. From the one-sided love of a devoted wife to the strange friendship with a dog, these are the stories of the aam janta looking for a way to heal their hearts. From a marriage with secrets to a secret after marriage, the stories are a reflection of the world we live in. At the lotus feet always! I am a humble student of MCKS!
