Eleven-year-old Aditya really wants to know.

Ever since Rhea Didi began getting brown paper packages, there’s been something that no one is telling him. Mama turns red, Pa chokes on his coffee and Dadi has steam coming out of her ears! Thank goodness for his friends Naveen and Vinay-whom he can talk to.

But when Vinay brings an odd-looking napkin to school that soaks ink, Aditya is even more confused. Doesn’t his sister use a microtip pen?

Mirror, Mirror

Ugly cow. Miss Piggy.

Five years earlier, a friend’s nasty comment makes Ananya start hating her body. She decides to change into a new person-one who effortlessly fits into all kinds of clothes, who shuns food unless it’s salad, and who can never be called ‘Miss Piggy’-and to cut everything from her ‘old’ life, including her best friend, Raghu, for being the witness to her humiliation.

Ananya is on her way to becoming the Ananya of her dreams, but she’s still a work in progress.

One day, her parents announce that they’re expecting a baby (at their age!). To make matters worse, Raghu reappears in her life …

Andaleeb Wajid’s latest novel for young adults is a touching and funny story about a young girl’s journey to acceptance and self-love.

Power of Love

His Holiness The Dalai Lama said, ‘My religion is kindness.’ Sounds so simple, yet so profound. Do we not read in the Bible, ‘God is love’? And all of God’s revelation is summed up in this: ‘Love God and love others.’
Regardless of caste, creed, nationality, colour of skin and religion, we are all created by God, and one of the reflections of that is love and kindness.
We are living in the ice age of emotions. Believe it or not, the number one killer in this generation is loneliness. Why do millions die of starvation? In part, because love and kindness have been dying in the human heart, with selfishness and greed taking over.
Think about it, the world is full of pain, violence, devastation, yet we can go on because there are some who are kind and compassionate.
This collection of short stories, written by Athanasius Yohan I, tales from his encounters with people where small acts of kindness and goodwill have made changes in people’s lives.
A perfect read for those who yearn to experience the beauty of life and love.
