Book Description

Publication Date: June 28, 2007

Do you ever wonder… why intimate friends can feel envi-ous of each other sometimes? Is it fair to blame anyone for how he/she feels after all? Why a male has more of a natu-ral tendency to flirt while a female has more of a natural tendency to be a one-man-woman? Why people spend a lot of time smiling and complimenting each other which is not all genuine, yet still so universally expected and even man-dated? Do you think…lovers give unconditionally or they only give with the expectation of the love and care that they get or will get or hopefully might again come to get in return? Friends talk to each other to send and receive information or to listen to themselves talk knowing that someone who identifies with their chaotic head doings is listening and accepting? Throughout our exciting psyche-exploring journey with Habi and Sheeba, we come to face many personal self-discoveries of our own. There are discoveries that you will want to deny, discoveries that will make you cry and dis-coveries that will make you laugh. Your discoveries will make an imprint on your life forever.

"A very interesting approach. A most interesting dissertation on a very common and important relationship. Beautifully done. I'll read it again."
- posted for E. Overn, a 90-year old engineer in Nanton, Alberta, Canada


An eye opener. Presents a new look at an old, old subject. Makes one think and challenges the reader to re-evaluate her/his view of relationships. I recommend this book to everyone who wants to understand "the real reasons behind the good reasons".

This is a book that is both thought-provoking and gripping. You do not have to agree with the author's perspective, however, what you will find is that it does indeed force you to take a deeper outlook on your everyday interactions. I did not find it a ready-made tailored interpretation of our intertwined and complex human interactions; which is a good thing, but rather a ray of light that allows you to look beyond the superficiality of modern-day society.

Tikitian Imprints was a thought-provoking combination of insight, sensuality and an over-all great read --- a physical journey back in time --- and a psychological journey into the backs of our minds, revealilng the "real" reasons vs "good" reasons we often do what we do. Brilliant!! I don't, however, recommend giving your copy to a friend... you'll want to read it again.
