A well-known name in the circle of writers and academicians, Prof Narinder Jit Kaur has carved a niche for herself for writing prose that is precise and nuanced. In her latest book, Dawn to Dusk, she has compiled her articles that have been published in some of the prominent newspapers of the region, including The Tribune.

These representative stories, which are the outcome of the basic human impulse to give meaning to one’s experience and to share it with others, deal with the quintessential ethos of the social milieu that Kaur comes from.

Being a compulsive writer, for her whenever something “tickles my funny bone, or troubles the mind, or tugs at the heartstrings, a story is born; and the sole purpose of writing them is to establish a bond of mutual connectivity born out of relatability with the readers.”

“To be sipped and savoured by the readers with the first cup of morning tea, these spoons-ful of life add some sweetness here and spice there in one’s otherwise predictable routine. This collection is a mélange of wit and humour on one hand, and pain and pathos on the other,” says Kaur.
