Proud Mohanlal announces book release of daughter's 'Grains of stardust'
Malayalam superstar Mohanlal announces the arrival of daughter Vismaya Mohanlal's poetry book, 'Grains of Stardust'. In a social media post, Mohanlal wrote that,
It's a proud moment for me as a father to announce the release of my daughter's book 'GRAINS OF STARDUST' on the 14th of February. A book of poetry and art published by Penguin India Wishing her all the best in this endeavour.
"'Grains of Stardust' came together unexpectedly. I didn't sit down with the intention to write a poetry book. As you'll see when you read them, they are very simply written. 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 at nature," Vismaya, an artist whose interests lie in the realms of fine art, poetry and performance quoted saying.
Read my poetry out loud
Breathe it in
and taste the letters pour out.
A delicious sound.
Do you hear the colours take form?
Feel the pages move you
as you float in space
make some space
Open your mind
and get inside
and see all that
shimmering
marmalade liquid.

The book's foreword is written by Mohanlal.
"Offering a 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," writes the 60-year-old actor.
