This collection of remarkable stories depicts realistic vignettes of Himalayan life; from the predicament of hill women to the preservation of hill ecology and the devastation that callous commercialism brings to them. Standing out among these vignettes are stories of lust that depict a monk who has the passionate desires of any young man or nostalgia about courtesan life in Nawabi Lucknow, the tragic life of a village woman who becomes the fourth wife of an impotent man or the story of an estranged wife whose husband lives the secret life of a deviant in the title story and the touching love between a scrap seller and his wife. A Secret Life on The Alaknanda depicts various facets of life with a sensitivity that makes this collection memorable. Told in a traditional narrative this is a collection worthy of one's time.

My Daughters’ Mum—a first in a series of two essay collections—covers a range of essential subjects, from parenting and marriage, to faith and selfhood. Knitting together a popular column in Mint Lounge, new writing and priceless handcrafted dialogues, the author describes her journey as the mother of three young daughters; as the wife of a man from a religious background unlike her own; and as an individual with dreams detached from the roles of wife and mother—here’s a wanderer, a feminist, a workplace goer. Yet beyond the searingly personal, this is a memoir that tells us about an India that is fast transforming and where questions of identity and personal freedom are in dialogue with ideas of nationality. The candidness of the author’s voice, the gentle humour of fleeting narrative and the fragility of diary entries, photographs, collages and sketches will make My Daughters’ Mum resonate with every reader.
