Heart Writings and Flower Writings

The present book is a collection of scattered writings by the author that have been published in various periodicals. These writings were sometimes driven by a sense of responsibility towards certain artistic, cultural, and social issues, appearing in this book as “heartfelt notes.” At other times, they were written professionally at the request of editors and section chiefs, appearing in this book as “flourishes.” These writings were penned during a period in the author’s life when they were involuntarily drawn into isolation and took to writing on various topics.
