The book released in May 2014 and had garnered excellent responses from academic and media personalities across the world. Her second book is an art fiction. Set amidst the art, music and poetry of Tagore's Santiniketan,”Fall Winter Collections​"​ is the journey of an orthodox Indian sculptor, as he secretly works on an ambitious project with six mythological Women. The vastness of Santiniketan soon starts working on him, expanding his capacities to accommodate and appreciate the beauty that exists beyond his faith! His life changes in the process of sculpting the sixth Woman of his series. The plot, though a simple love story, is a throwback on the art, music and poetry of Santiniketan. The book is not only the author's way of reminiscing ​ over the three years she spent at Viswa Bharati, Santiniketan, but is also a conscious attempt to write art fictions where she brings to the world some emotions - expressions - issues of art professionals. Koral writes columns covering artists from various disciplines of visual and performing arts with an aim to report more elaborately the source of their creative energies and the prejudices they have to battle both personally and professionally.
