Stories of Hope






'Stories of Hope' is a collection of short stories. Each tale narrates the journey of a thin red line of hope that fights through adversity. Right from the heart of Nazi Germany in the thick of the holocaust to the collapse of the regime in Egypt in 2011, from the story of hunger in the core of Africa to the tale of Palestine's recognition as a state, there are stories that celebrate the resilience of the Human Spirit. From stories of a mother turned out of her house by her son, to a mother who loses her newborn, to the young wife who must face a baffling truth, and the little girls who face adversities tied to their identity, these are stories that can be anyone's narrative. Stories of Hope is a celebration of Hope and a celebration of the undying human spirit of resilience.

It's about a girl's search for Krishna...and in her search for krishna she meets the dancers of The Dance Company...They tell her where they see krishna...what they feel about krishna...

Peep into the glorious world of Indian dance and dancers. It's a contemparary fiction.
