My own thoughts hit me like waves and maybe that is why I named my anthology so. Not just because I want to justify the title but also because I want to justify my soul. Writing has always been my thing and was always a bit inclined towards it. I saw it all as a source of entertainment and an escape from the mundane schedule of my daily life but as I started getting more engrossed in this, there was a period when my inner self wanted to discover the world of fiction more deeply and just not for an entertainment purpose. Soon, I started analysing the characters which caught my interest and it was during this period where I started connecting these fictional characters with the situations of the real world and not very soon along the road did I realise that these characters had started to inspire and motivate me through their roles and now reside within me. Many fictional characters have played a crucial role in shaping me who I am today and a very huge credit goes to them and their creators. This book comprises of various writers who have written about their favourite fictional characters, elements and incidents which have inspired and moved them.
