Readers – Anita Bacha

A book must be the axe for the frozen sea within us – Kafka – Book Launch by Anita Bacha

My latest book, “The Adventures of Alicia Parker,” is a heartfelt exploration of loss and resilience. Through Alicia’s journey, I hope to resonate with readers who have faced similar challenges. Join me as we uncover the power of storytelling to heal and inspire.

I wrote and published my fifth book for children and teenagers a few months ago.

The message that I wanted to tear from my heart and share with the world was out.

I’m a motherless child. I lost my mom when I was barely seven years old. The rest of my life was spent in the world of adults, mostly cruel and unscrupulous men and women.

I studied law and I became a lawyer, but I cherished the passion for writing. I wrote poetry and short stories and had my work published. Writing helped me to realize myself. My heart was frozen since the day my mother died. I lived in a warm cocoon before and suddenly I was alone with my fears.

My latest book has captured the emotions of a motherless child and this child could be me or you or anyone.

Frankfurter Buchmesse- A Poem by Anita Bacha

Par excellence , a major travel destination,
Frankfurt entices the biggest books celebration;
The content literary oriented will find displayed,
Poetry,classics,horror on shelves neatly
arranged;
My flight on British Airways was booked,
A voracious bookworm was hooked;
I have to make it to Frankfurt Buchmesse;
I hazily jump out of bed, rush … rush,
The alarm of my IPhone rings too late,
I am in the kitchen sipping hot chocolate,
Half asleep in my pyjamas, on the toilet seat,
I compose and send an illustrated tweet;
Shampoo and body wash under the hot shower,
Up the stairs I climb to switch off the timer;
So many little but significant things to remember,
When leaving home deserted,mid- October;
A brand new fire linen, voile, white shirt,
A stylish,pleated black cotton skirt;
Colorful leg warmers and thermal socks,
Ouch! the thermal pants pinch my buttocks;
I have radiant, energetic, youthful looks,
I am totally and absolutely obsessed with books;
Trendy in knee high, leather boots,
Matching jacket and a satchel of books;
I drive with zeal to Heathrow Terminal 5,
My mind set on catching the early morning flight.

Photo my own clicked at the Pullman, St.Pancras,London in June 2019.

In that month I was attending a book event, the Jaipur Literary Festival at the British Library. I seized the opportunity to book a room at Pullman and, to kill two birds with one stone, enjoying the luxury of a hotel room vis à vis the British Library and spending memorable time with world acclaimed writers, to name a few, Irving Finkel ,author of ‘ The Lifeboat that saved the world’ , Shashi Tharoor, who has authored many books including ‘ Why I am a Hindu’ and Marcus Du Sautoy the author of the amazing’ The Creative Code – How AI is learning to write,paint and think.’

I have read the three books and other books I bought at the event but, I fell in love with the books of the Master of Haiku, Matsuo Bashō!

Hence, today’s haiku is my offering to you, my dear friends, Thank you for your visit.

Anita Bacha.
