Vismaya Mohanlal turns author

Malayalam actor Mohanlal's daughter Vismaya Mohanlal is all set to release her first book of poetry titled 'Grains of Stardust' on the occasion of Valentine's Day on February 14.

"They are poems that I sometimes typed out on my phone waiting for the subway or while I was listening to a beat that I liked or words that came to me when I was looking at a painting or nature," Vismaya told PTI.

The book also contains samples of her paintings and drawings. The idea was inspired by her brother Pranav who encouraged her to compile her works together into a book.

The book's foreword is written by Mohanlal himself and mentions its "unique expression of thought reflecting feeling more than meaning".

'Grains of Stardust' is a synesthetic stream of consciousness that does not distinguish between journey and destination, but meanders unchecked upon the river of human emotion," the foreword reads, as quoted by the Indian Express.
