Zana, Wild Woman of the Caucasus is loosely based on history. The novel documents the discovery of an ape-like woman found in the Caucasus region in the late 19th century. The story takes place in Circassia (present day Georgia, Europe), where two teenage boys discover and capture a deformed woman in the forest near their home. They sell her into slavery, which they later bitterly regret. One of the boys tries unsuccessfully to locate Zana with the intention of freeing her. Their guilt over the woman's forced slavery remains unresolved, yet on their repeated searches both boys find romance as they grow up and learn life lessons. But their lives remain as unfulfilled as their search for the wild woman.
By forehead is meant man's expression. The smiling forehead is the pleasant expression; it depends solely upon man's attitude to life. Life is the same for the saint and for Satan, and if men are different it is because of their outlook on life. The same life is turned by the one into heaven and by the other into hell. There are two attitudes: to one all is wrong, to the other all is right. Our life in the world from morning to evening is full of experiences, good and bad, which can be distinguished according to their degree. And the more we study the mystery of good and bad the more we see that there really is no such thing as good and bad. It is because of our attitude and the conditions that things seem good or bad. It is easy for an ordinary person to say what is good or bad, just or unjust – it is very difficult for a wise man. Although everyone, according to his outlook on life, turns things from bad to good and from good to bad, everyone has his own grade of evolution and reasons accordingly. Sometimes one thing is subtler than others and then it is difficult to judge. There was a time when Wagner's music was not understood, and another time when he was considered the greatest of musicians. Sometimes things are good, but our own evolution makes them less good for us. What we considered good a few years ago may not seem good at a later degree of evolution. At one time a child appreciates a doll most, later it will prefer the work of great sculptors. This proves that at every step and degree of evolution man's idea of good and bad changes. Therefore a thinker will understand that there is no such thing as right or wrong. If there is wrong, all is wrong; if there is right, all is right.

“I am very happy and proud for the spiritual progress of my student. The sharpness and maturity in her writing, the purity of her thoughts and the ability to explain the depth of various topics, has amazed me greatly. Her insightful writing has touched various aspects of human minds and demonstrated the natural expressions of human qualities, through everyday events. On the other hand, her inner light has kindled a journey within, in search of self. Best of Luck.” - Shubhada Rahalkar Head of the Department, Department of Zoology, GDC Bilaspur (CG) “I have known Shashi from 2012 as a blog writer in Speaking Tree. Her forthright, honest and upfront posts on what needs to change in the world and how to go about it always won many hearts. She is regular on the top of the list of ‘most read’ blogs; her comments appearing in Local newspaper and quoted by other people as well. Shashi is a vigilante in real sense of what the world truly needs not a days. She is quick to note any wrong doings, and take action. Shashi also makes sure that the people around her are well informed. I have never met Shashi, however as it is said nowadays a virtual friend is as close to us as a real friend. She speaks softly, listens intently, suggests rationally and writes with heart. Her posts reflect her ability to pick everyday incidents that are narrated as a story that becomes alive on the piece of paper. I wish her book all the success and hope that it reaches far and wide corners of the world. I wish it be read by as many people as possibly can. Thanks.” - Alka Rhode Auckland, New Zealand
