Narrative style of writing always a safer bet, says author

Narrative style of writing is always helpful in keeping the monotony away and hence is always a safer bet for an author, says Sidharth Bahri who recently penned his debut novel 'The Homing pigeons'.
"I have learned from my first book that an author should detest drowning readers in flowery language. It only takes the reader away from the story. The narrative technique is unique and helps the monotony and therefor a safer bet too," says Bahri.
"A very important part of fiction writing is to build the tension and to snap it regularly for the reader," he added.
The Homing Pigeons published by Srishti Publishers is a story of a guy who lost his job in the 2008 recession and secretly turned into a male prostitute to avoid the sarcastic comments of his wife about being jobless.

Later the wife finds out about his business and walks out of the marriage. The story takes a turn when the protagonist's school-time girlfriend who once used to be his live in partner meets him as a 'client'.
The book;s title signify that the protagonist and his girlfriend keep on incidentally bumping into each other at different phases of their lives and hence they are more like pigeons who will keep coming back to their home no wonder what turns their live take and where they go.
Quizzed about whether the book is based on real life incidents, Bahri says, "I think I'd be at a great risk if I ever said it was autobiographical, given what my protagonist does for a living. I believe that no work of fiction is a figment of the imagination.

"It's a small thought, an overheard conversation or a life incident that overgrows itself in a writers mind to become a work of fiction. It is largely a work of fiction amalgamated from ideas and incidents that have lived in my brain for years," he says.
