The Chase

Book Cover & Preview Text
Mom didn't say much as she drove me to the airport. There was the standard inventory of instructions - 'eat well, I don't want just half of you back', 'I know you won't but try and ensure you get enough sleep', 'call us at least once a day to let us know you're alive', 'be good, stay safe, don't do anything I wouldn't' - every few minutes. An odd silence lingered. Dad seemed tied up in knots as well when he bid me adieu before heading to work. It's only natural for the parents to be apprehensive. I'm going to travel to places they've never been to, all on my own, for almost a fortnight, with no precise agenda. All I'm carrying on me is a backpack with a tripod attached to it and a yearning for adventure; a wild journey of exploration. They know I need this. They've seen the irresistible desire to wander intensify inside me. They'll be fine. Every summer should have a story; the kind of story that helps you break free when you do something you've never done to get what you've never had. We all wonder where the wanderlust will take me this time...

About the Book
Aged 19 and flummoxed by the urgency to identify a long-term professional role, Mythili Zatakia (better known as Zatak) invents the title of a ‘Crackerjack Scribbler’ to compensate for the inadequacies of handy career opportunities. The job involves recording every dynamic episode in her life to establish a method in the madness, generated by "chasing" a range of fortes. It takes one year of arbitrary and gutsy exploration to discover the ultimate purpose of her existence. Her "Chase" is quick, tumultuous and amusingly unique. What else does one expect from a cracked, tornado-like, teenage turbine with a pen for some scribbling?!
