His creations are philosophical and he relates his philosophy with his experiences. This very aspect gives a magical touch to his novels. Readers are transported to another world where they see their mirror images and thereby take stock of their own life.
"Bridge Across Forever - BAF" is one such novel. Although the details about the flying planes which signifies writer's passion for the same might sound boring, but the novel still manages to leave a lasting impression on the readers in the form of learnings which are not preachings in any way.Here I am reproducing the quotes from the novel BAF, which are gonna live in my memory not as mere quotes but as experiences from life to look back to..
Without the power of Love, we are boats becalmed on the seas of boredom...
To bring anything into your life imagine that it's already there...
Love is an empty word left after meaning has been battered away...
There is no sensitive way to deal with insensitive people...
Wall don't protect, they isolate you...
A soulmate is someone who has locks thats fits our keys and keys to fit our locks...
That's what learning is, after all. Not whether we lose the game but how we lose and how we have changed because of it and what we take away from it, that we never had before, to apply to other games. Losing, in a curious way, is winning...

Wall don't protect, they isolate you...
but we need walls...for we need isolation...for unless we reflect ourselves we can't be a mirror :)
Vishesh,
hmmm best of both worlds is what we want actually.
Mere isolation is no good. Isn't it?
Cheers!
