SouganDilli… Indo-Iranian Adhuri Kahani (An incomplete Indo-Iranian story), Damick Publications, 2020
SouganDilli is an illustrated book in RomTravel (Romance + Travel) genre by an Iranian girl. It is based on Sougand’s Dill travel and her travelogue in the heart and capital of India, Dilli. That is why she kept the letter D in the capital, SouganDilli.

Anyone's life can change with a small incident forever. My life also changed, it has got a new and special color after my first travel to India and especially to Delhi (Dilli). My story, the SouganDevraj love story (Sougand & Devraj) is an Indo-Iranian story. Maybe this is rummy and strange to you, as there is no space between the names of these two persons and D is in common. Well, the D of Dilli is the end of SouganD and the beginning of Devraj! This book is more than just a genre. SouganDilli, is a love story, a novel which is a Safar Namah (Travelogue) of an Iranian girl in Delhi, India. A book that in many aspects is a real story.

Delhi is with D… Dunya (world) is with D

Dil (heart) is with D… Dard (pain) is with D

SouganD finishes with D, but Devraj starts with D

And Devraj's Deewangi (madness) is also with D…
