This collection of fifteen stories leads the reader into a world that is at once Indian and universal. A painter derives inspiration from a long lost love. Every night after going to bed, a woman scours a vast desert for her missing husband. A young woman strides through two worlds. A son experiences the miracle of his father’s immense love. An actor’s wife struggles to keep her husband from slipping into his reel life. And a busy professional tries to factor in pregnancy and motherhood into her hectic life. Among those traversing this space are a henpecked billionaire, a homeless boy, a middle-aged wife dealing with infidelity, and a seeker finding solace with a lion and a deer. Happiness is a Collage follows the author’s well-received collection, A Tapestry of Tears. ‘Gita V Reddy’s great strength as a writer, it seems to me, is her ability to get to the heart of the matter in just a few expertly chosen words,’ Amanda Jenkinson, Goodreads. ‘Rich in flavor, entertaining and very well considered plot concepts,’ Grady Harp, Goodreads.

A deeper understanding of how consumers think, feel and act is vital to the success of management and provides valuable information for managerial decision making in many areas of business. One key to this understanding is brand knowledge, which is the representation of a brand in consumers' minds. Unfortunately, a substantial amount of relevant knowledge within people's minds is unconscious and cannot be retrieved, accessed and recalled by consumers. As a consequence, certain methods of retrieval are required, such as projective techniques. The method this book works with is the collage technique, an expressive projective method. The aim of this book is to create a multi-layered approach that facilitates the interpretation of collages without the need of any additional information given by the participants, based on metaphor analysis, color theory, a communication model and structural analysis.

“Maybe we should get a divorce.” Raj utters the D-word and immediately regrets it. He hopes that Divya, who is deaf, hasn’t lip-read the words. But Divya has and is shattered that Raj wants to end their thirteen-year-old marriage. Determined to build a new life for herself and the children, she uses her deafness to ignore Raj as he tries to regain the ease of communication they had in the beginning of their marriage. From Reviews on Goodreads. It is a full-fledged novel condensed into only a few pages. Beautiful work, this. (Grady Harp, Hall of Fame Reviewer ) Gita Reddy has taken several delicate subjects and has handled them to the degree that even more experienced writers have missed.(D D Gott) Never Ever is a short story filled with heartfelt emotion and likable characters. It’s written sensitively and thoughtfully. (SEB) Although this is a short story, Gita Reddy does a good job of relating how important communication is in a relationship. I love the ending of this story! It is an example of how marriage should work.(Dawn H.) I loved this story! Sure there are other stories featuring the importance of communication in relationships but this one is unique with the wife being hearing-impaired.(Darswords.) “Never Ever” will make you want to tell your loved ones that you love them and think of other ways that you can show them that you care! (Penny Minding Mom) Highly emotional look into the struggles of marriage. I enjoyed this very much. It was well-written and riveting. I loved the ending. (Mai Tai Mama)

Come voyage through lost roots of the multi-dimensional artistry of collage. This seemingly simple method leads you on an adventure of self discovery, developing your innate abilities for shapes-shifting using paper, scissors and glue.

From caves of old to collaging in your own home, this colorful adventure is an in-depth exploration of humanity’s ancient connections to making art. This triple layered approach is actually three books in one. It begins by guiding you through the mystical Doorway of Color, where you learn the Celtic ways of sensing, gathering and envisioning with images.

And finally, the Doorway of Dreams, leading to the most ancient ways of remembering who you truly are. Learning to quest with collage is all about playing with colors, signs and synchronicity. It is also a metaphor for the ongoing journey of each human life. You are invited to come along in search of multi-hued elements to weave into an ever unfolding landscape of your own design.

“Meera, stop telling stories,” I was told. To me, it was a Calmness, which had the Turbulence of a Rough Sea, and a Tsunami of Currents hitting my Mind with Questions. Sometimes, I screamed in the silence, like a Bud in the Blossoming stage, Sometimes, I accepted the Sometimes, Sometimes, I ran from the Situation, And Sometimes, the SAME Situation brought me back to The Reality! The Reality, where I illustrated my ‘Illusions to Happiness’ and said: “Why not create Stories if that’s My Strength?” And I realized: Yes, Happiness is in Creating Stories. And I went blogging my Learning as A Happiness for 100 straight days, sharing my Experience and reflecting what I resonated, CREATING MY LEGACY Called HAPPINESS!
