Foreplay of providence, the

The Foreplay of Providence, a collection of two short stories, is inexplicably cavernous, intense, resonant with emotion, intellectually sound, and created with extreme passion that will perpetually succeed in appealing to the reader?s inquisitiveness. It reveals the pathos, yearnings, momentary happiness, success, and the varied emotions of two different women, Kashish and Smriti, who are diametrically opposite in character, and how differently each of them react to the play of providence. Kashish, an introvert completely disillusioned and deserted in this world, unable to bear the agony, resigns to destiny and finally relinquishes her life. Smriti, on the other hand, is the real fighter who defies the tricks of Providence and attains success. The artistic creation possesses simplicity in diction but has an equal amount of vigour and gusto in narration and weaves a tapestry of magic before the reader?s eyes.
