This is a story straight out of Bollywood, or is it? When Namrata, a pretty young thing from Goa meets Sandeep, a handsome lad from Karnataka, sparks fly. It takes a packet of detergent, endless love letters and some hilarious incidents before Namrata takes Sandeep seriously. That�s the easier part. Convincing the two families and the actual marriage is where all the drama begins. And the drama continues long after the garlands are exchanged; which brings up the question - is that �happily married ever after� thing for real or just a cliche! Come fall in love with the young couple as they move back and forth between two beautiful states of Goa and Karnataka. Come fall in love with love!

A Virus on the Beach: A British tourist gets caught in Goa's brutal sex trafficking. by Subhuti Anand Waight Pdf
A shocking novel that exposes the harsh reality of Goa's sex trafficking industry, which government reports confirm is now the biggest in India. Two young trafficked women, one from Nagaland and one from Nepal, meet a British tourist on the beach, during the pandemic lockdown, and seek his help in escaping their grim fate.

Discussing multiple aspects of material culture and domestic consumption, this book tackles the relationship between the trajectories and biographies of people, families, houses and objects and how they intertwine and produce each other. Focusing on the life stories of a group of European and Catholic Brahmin Goan families of the colonial elite who left Mozambique after the country's independence in 1975, the book shows how material culture interferes with structuring dimensions of migratory experiences, in the management of family memories, ties and networks of belonging, as well as in the social dynamics of positioning, hierarchy and distinction.

Shivya Nath quit her corporate job at age twenty-three to travel the world. She gave up her home and the need for a permanent address, sold most of her possessions and embarked on a nomadic journey that has taken her everywhere from remote Himalayan villages to the Amazon rainforests of Ecuador. Along the way, she lived with an indigenous Mayan community in Guatemala, hiked alone in the Ecuadorian Andes, got mugged in Costa Rica, swam across the border from Costa Rica to Panama, slept under a meteor shower in the cracked salt desert of Gujarat and learnt to conquer her deepest fears. With its vivid descriptions, cinematic landscapes, moving encounters and uplifting adventures, The Shooting Star is a travel memoir that maps not just the world but the human spirit.
"We all know about career and passion... Ever heard of ""pet-passions""? As we all grow up, we make our careers but only a few of us make it in what we really are passionate about. Passion is strange! Some of us realize it early, some of us a little late and then there are people who are only introduced to it while pursuing their 'pet-passions'. Pet-passions act like a torch in the darkness and chaos, paving a path to our ultimate passion. Amidst the monotonous mindsets of our current society, stereotypes, social statuses, gender bias and inequality emerge three women who lived robotic lives only until they discern their true passions and rise against all odds of their family, friendships, love life and other futile drama. This story is to sure make you relate, feel and fall for the characters and their roller coaster journey of achieving the ultimate joy & Nirvana! ""Is Life like the films or are the films like life?!"" Well, how does it matter when they're all stories in the end? Or wait, do they?
