Preface

The ‘Two Hearts One Beat’ is based on a true love story between two ordinary persons who married after 15 years of love affairs at the age of 37 and 59 respectively. During a tour to a particular state, I was privileged to know about this love story from an officer who happens to be much closed to me, like my own sister. To protect the privacy of the couple, I have changed the names of the lovers, names of the states, religion of the love birds and social status of all the involved persons.

By criticising and praising my posts in FB, many of my friends, directly or indirectly encouraged me to publish my e-book, for which, I shall be always thankful to them. I take the opportunity to express my gratitude to my parents, brothers, sisters, friends, foes, seniors, juniors and teachers for their support for developing my personalities, good or bad or ugly.

Last, but not the least, I am thankful to Smashwords for publishing my love story as an e-book.
