Romance of power

Based on love and politics, Tuhin Sinha's latest book calls the youth to participate rather than crib about the state of affairs

“I have always had a flair for writing,” says this commerce graduate who despite his training in numbers and accountancy is the proud author of three successful books. Tuhin Sinha's journey began as a free lance journalist, and moved into scriptwriting for teleserials. It was in 2006 that Tuhin released his first novel, That Thing Called Love.

“You don't meet too many youngsters who are confident about writing,” says Tuhin about young writers.

This time Tuhin has pegged his story on politics. His latest book, Of Love and Politics, (Hachette, Rs. 250) plays upon the various turns relationships can take when two people feel strongly about ideologies, “The havoc created by ideological differences is the premise of the book, and it does deal with a lot of other issues.” In his book Tuhin calls for the youth to participate and make a difference rather than cribbing about existing conditions.

Tuhin is a columnist with the Times of India and he had done a series called Love Thy Leader where he brings in the disparate elements of love and politics and allows the two to converge.
