The Mementos of Rùnjh
14th October 2022
Nivedita 'Ramendu' Shukla is extremely proud and excited to share their latest work The Mementos of Rùnjh. The project might have been a lengthy one, but this was one story that really needed to be told.
In her words, "I visited a palace many years ago. Well, this palace was a little different from the other very ancient ones. The momentI stepped in this one, it crowded my mind with more questions than answers. The staff of the palace allowed entries to limited spaces and the guide gave information which was easily available online. But this palace was alive, unlike the others with dead stone walls and long open spaces. The things kept in the rooms were not very old. I had seen my great grandfather use them. My grand mother had kept a few as heirlooms. When I walked through their courtyards and passed by the rooms, I could clearly imagine the lives of the people living there. And also see their downfall with damaged corners of the furniture, missing chunks on the pillars and discoloured elegant curtains. The fact that the heir of the palace had to out their palace up for the public to see after paying a ticket was itself a sad story. I was coming back feeling like I lived an era; but it was the auto driver, who took us back from the palace to the city and he told us the part of the story which neither the guide tells you nor the online platforms. Well, the story lasted as long as our journey but I could not help but think of writing a story about lives of the people living there.
This book is a fiction. There could or could not be truth any in it."
