M.j. Brundu’s New Book, “Kendra,” is a Compelling and Supernatural Novel That Tells the Story About What a Young Exuberant Girl Named Kendra Could Become

 M.J. Brundu, a wife and stay-at-home mother of three children, has completed her new book, “Kendra”: a cryptic and magical novel that follows Kendra on a mystic journey.

The story begins, “I have no idea where to start, so let me just say that my life wasn’t as innocent as I thought while growing up in a small town. I was the youngest child of two. My mother met my father, and instantly they fell in love. It was all so common in our town to fall head over heels in love with your ‘mate’ at first sight. My father was a very athletic, muscular guy who was six feet one. He had green eyes and jet-black hair and had all kinds of scars. He always said that it was from his many years at war. He died when I was eight. My mother is a very short, petite girl standing at five feet, with long flowing blonde hair and blue eyes. She is very sweet in nature but had a temper when provoked. She tried her best to have everything just right after my dad’s death.”

Published by Page Publishing, M.J. Brundu’s mystical tale introduces readers to Kendra. On the surface she seems like a typical sixteen-year-old girl, but there is something mysterious about her. Kendra’s mother is human, but her father was a supernatural being. While she hasn’t exhibited any particular supernatural powers it’s always a possibility with her father’s DNA.

When Kendra’s brother James, who she hasn’t seen for years, comes for a visit he reveals the truth. He is a supernatural being just like their father. Her world is turned upside down and she starts to question everything she knew to be true. She is left wondering will she be human like her mother or supernatural like her father?

Readers who wish to experience this intriguing work can purchase “Kendra” at bookstores everywhere, or online at the Apple iTunes Store, Amazon, Google Play, or Barnes and Noble.

Rajeev Chandrasekhar, Minister of State for Skill Development & Entrepreneurship and Electronics & Information Technology and General (Dr) V.K Singh (Retd), Minister of State for Road Transport & Highways and Civil Aviation jointly inaugurated the 5th Aadhaar Seva Kendra in UP at Ghaziabad today. The ASK has a capacity to handle request from 1000 residents per day.

On this occasion, Rajeev Chandrasekhar congratulated everyone and said that this public facility is dedicated purely to the residents of Ghaziabad.

He highlighted the achievements of the Digital India Campaign over the last 6 years and remarked that 100 paise released from the Government of India towards welfare of poor and needy, now reach into their accounts at the click of a button.

He later added that the savings made to public exchequer owing to use of Aadhaar and DBT, primarily due to weeding out of fake and duplicate beneficiaries, have been estimated to be to the tune of Rupees 1.78 lakh crores (as on Mar 2020; as per DBT Mission, Cabinet Secretariat).

Speaking on the occasion General (Dr) V.K Singh (Retd) thanked government for starting the ASK in Ghaziabad. He said that this centre will make aadhaar related services for residents easy. Now people can update their aadhaar and also enroll for Aadhaar at the centre. 

Shri Saurav Garg, CEO UIDAI said that UIDAI plans to operate 166 ASKs in 122 cities throughout India.  So far establishment of 58 ASKs completed and started functioning.  All the ASKs are air-conditioned, designed with adequate seating capacity and also Divyang friendly.
