🌀 Thirty Orbits Later: A Novel Where Memory Orbits Longing
What if time isn't linear—but a fold, a drift, a dream?
In my latest novel, Thirty Orbits Later, I attempt to chart the strange terrain where memory, longing, and metaphysics intersect. This is not just a story—it’s a meditation. A series of orbits around a core that never reveals itself fully, only echoes through time, scent, and dreams.
Set in the coastal town of Matara, Sri Lanka, and told through two interwoven streams—one grounded in vivid childhood recollections, the other in surreal transmissions of dreams and metaphysical longing—the novel follows a man entangled with a mysterious, recurring figure: the Cinnamon Girl. She is at once muse, memory, and metaphysical question, appearing across decades and dimensions, defying the laws of causality and closure.
Inspired by Haruki Murakami’s dreamlike narration and Quentin Meillassoux’s philosophical audacity, the novel explores:
-
🌿 The Inverse Principle – A personal law of reversal that shapes the narrator’s choices and regrets
-
✍️ Calligraphy and comic books, star-fort at Matara, and libraries
-
🔁 The haunting return of memory through scents, symbols, and suspended time
-
💫 Exploring the friction between empirical science and metaphysical wonder, especially around the fate of memory beyond death.
This book took shape slowly, orbit by orbit—over decades of reflection, literary influence, and philosophical curiosity. It is both a personal reckoning and a fictional tapestry of identity, love, and metaphysical drift.
If you’ve ever wondered whether a memory can outlive time—or whether a dream might be more real than the day—you may find a part of yourself between these pages.

Let me know what it evokes in you. I believe novels are not read—but remembered.
Thank you for orbiting with me.
