As we mark the start of a New Year at Afflatus Creations, we need to pause to honour the legacy of (Late) Dr. D.C. Chambial, the esteemed poet, critic, and editor whose profound influence on Indian English literature was immense. Dr. Chambial was more than a prolific writer; he was a mentor and an inspiration, shaping the minds and works of countless poets and writers across India with his insightful critiques and nurturing guidance.
This January, Afflatus Creations proudly presents an issue that embodies the spirit of new beginnings and enduring legacies. We are excited to feature a diverse range of voices, from a 12-year-old budding poet to established literary figures who continue to push boundaries and explore new territories in the realm of words.
Our platform is a sanctuary for artists, writers, and dreamers, offering them an expansive space to bring their visions to life. With the guidance of an esteemed panel of international celebrity editors, we inspire creators to push boundaries, break conventions, and excel in their craft. Here, the creative urge finds its purpose, and artists are encouraged to reach new heights of excellence.
We encourage our readers to immerse themselves in the works featured in this issue and to join in with the global conversation that great literature sparks. Engage with us through comments, write responses, or critique the works; your interaction enriches the experience for all within our community. Looking ahead, we are excited to introduce literary contests judged by celebrated figures, offering participants not only recognition but invaluable feedback to refine their art. Excellence is our unwavering goal, and every feature, article, or story we publish is carefully curated to meet the highest international standards.
Welcome to a space where creativity knows no bounds, where artists of all genres are empowered to thrive, and where every story, poem, and idea is given the platform it deserves. Together, let us honour the transformative power of art and elevate the voices that shape our world.
We extend our heartfelt gratitude to our contributors for their incredible works and to you, our esteemed readers, for your unwavering support and enthusiasm. Let us step into this new year with a renewed commitment to literary exploration and excellence.
Enjoy the read, and wishing you all the best this New Year.
