What would you do when you learn that you can now travel through dimensions? What if I tell you that everything that we call the past, present and future, co-existed at the same point in time and you could defy time and space? If you are not what you think you are and your potentiality is much higher than your limitations, what then? Would your friends and family believe you? Would they stand up with you on your journey?

She started to heal slowly and got inspired to write about her own experiences while using appropriate quotes from my recent learning to emphasize my thoughts. “The deeper that sorrow carves into your being the more joy you can contain.” About the Author: From being a young aspiring executive in the Corporate world to managing home, children and finances; two precious decades of live passed away in multi-tasking to build the future of Ramani Rao's family in the city of the pearls. With her children settled, she started to slow down and do things she had waited for long. Travelling was her top priority.

If yes, then this book is for you. As senior creative director of India's largest advertising agency, Neeti Palta had everything going for her till she gave it all up to become an accomplished standup comedian. After a remarkable stint as an RJ, Malini Agarwal took the entrepreneurial plunge and is today a media maven with her brand, Missmalini.com.

The human brain has an enormous and infinite capacity. Not only can it think in various ways in different circumstances but it also has the capacity to think free and beyond boundaries. That’s the beauty of our species called Homo sapiens. The stories in the book are a collection of such manifestations in the world that we live. Some of the sneak peeks are – · Niti finding her liberation from the shackles of moralities and finding herself. · Does Sexuality have any ambit of probity? · The larger-than-life aim of Gayatri’s, which led her to think alternatively on the purpose of life and the means to achieve it. · Tathagoto’s revelation on the Universe (Let it not be the spoiler). · The kinds of service people can offer in this world. · A Serial Killer’s Chronicle. · An Adventure of a different kind. · A tell-tale of Romance in our times. · Treasure hunt of a servant through the pages of History. · Stranger than fiction service offered. I consider myself felicitous in my ways for the last so many years as my livelihood had revolved around interacting with more humans than machines.

Languages : en
Pages : 605
Book Description
It’s a story of women during the times when sati pratha, female infanticide, and repression of women were common practices. While our heroes are intelligent and profound in many ways, it’s the women from both the Hindu and the Muslim community, who join hands to fight the prevailing evil against the patriarchal society and the superstition devised against women. It’s an ode to women of the era when the idea of feminism didn’t even exist remotely in India. The story of Antarjwala attempts to define women, not by their social or religious backgrounds, but by the sheer fact that they are women trying to find their place in a man’s world.
