A wish, a Cracked vision… she dreams of a Booker one day

Nayar has been signed to pen the lyrics for Akash Ganga Productions’ Mere Sajan Ka Dil Ghayal and the film will be released soon. She has also written the lyrics for Ma Ka Bulava last year. She says there is another album on the anvil. Nayar says that as far as songs are concerned, she loves melodious numbers and that’s what is reflected in her poetry, both English and Hindi. She has so far written 1,400 Hindi songs which have been registered by the Film Writers’ Association, Mumbai.

Her book, Mystery Unveiled, which presents her collection of 50 poems, has been approved by the Minerva Press of London and is in the final stages of printing. When asked about the age group that she has targeted, she says, "I believe that my work is readable for every person who likes to read and I am sure that it would meet the expectations of every person who goes through my poems." She says that her poems are related to various aspects of humanity and have a streak of melancholy.

Nayar has also written a novel, A Lurking Panic, that will be brought out by the Minerva Press of London some time next year. The novel is a "blend of mysticism, human psychology and sex," in the words of Jyoti Nayar. She is currently writing another novel, A Cracked Vision, of which 19 chapters have already been completed. Another novel in the process of completion is, To Alex From Durga.

She says she writes in an environment she terms as "silence and not stillness" and at times she even gets up in the middle of the night to write. As for the moment, Jyoti is waiting for the release of her books and her cherished dream is to win the Booker Prize some day.
