And Stella Turns a Mom is a journey from the mundane corporate scenario to the Cosmic Truth revealed to open the human psychological perception--especially the female perception--towards the self, sexuality, motherhood and the cosmic responsibilities and realization of an individual in everyday life and work. It is the unfolding of a male psyche towards discovering the female psyche and the social as well cosmic value of humanity and realization of the soul and energy-level balance of all the cosmic beings aligned to the self-area of defining the 'me' sector of possession. The sense of self as a resource in the individualistic, social and cosmic quest of self-discoveries is covered in a postmodernist and, at times, sub-verse language. The experimental use of language and alternative cultural perception of observing human relation linked and juxtaposed to social and soul-level evolution is focused upon in the work. Stella, the symbol of the female heart-mind-body and the humanity of motherhood defined in the individual responsibilities of creating and holding a state of stability from a spiritual viewpoint, expressed in the language of consciousness theories, in the guise of love for a woman and mother, from a man's point of view.

Each story is meticulously detailed and knit like a collage. The last few lines convert each painting into a hologram, where the reader is not sure what the picture really is.Won't you enjoy the ride?
