Sinopsis

She SeeksThe stories ináShe Seeksáessentially revolve around how humans have used their minds to navigate a complex world. The mind, in constant interaction with a dynamic environment, is perpetually seeking answers. Sometimes this takes the form of a yearning for or a desire to connect with the past&mdash,often termed as nostalgia. The journey down the memory lane can shed a light on a present predicament or a problem or lead to new self-realizations. In other situations, the mind works like a laser beam, honing in on an enigma or mystery with a singular objective of solving it. The mind prescribes what action is required to be taken in times of imminent danger or threats. Such actions can take the form of fight or flight, adrenalin-fueled adventures, or outmanoeuvring the adversary by deploying&mdash,to paraphrase the famous detective Hercule Poirot&mdash,oneâÇÖs âÇÖgray cells.âÇÖWomen have relied on their minds&mdash,their best asset&mdash,to challenge the status quo of power, privilege, and corruption in society. The stories in this volume portray women using their minds in ingenious ways, often leveraging their experiences to address a situation. Munni MasiâÇÖs morality tales crafted from family lore is meant to arouse the curiosity and imagination of young minds (The Summer House), while a chance meeting with a little girl in a park makes a middle-aged lady reconnect to her younger, happier and most authentic selfá(The Girl With the Mismatched Rubber Bands). Akriti and Suchishree both lean heavily on the past to find a way out of faltering relationships (Yesterday Once More, LâÇÖAnge Protecteur). But their tryst with nostalgia could not be more different. AshaâÇÖs search for a simple family recipe from her home country leads to an unexpected yet heart-warming reve-lation about her great grandmotherâÇÖs entrepreneurial abilities (The Nostalgic Garden). A sophisticated urbaniteâÇÖs assumptions are challenged by a village detective who is determined to prove that she possesses clairvoyant powers (Mataji Knows Best). The story of the rescue of another city dweller from the clutches of bandits in the badlands of Uttar Pradesh is a jaw dropping thriller (Kidnapped). Two savvy women manage to outwit a corrupt business magnate and an obdurate bureaucrat by their sheer chutzpah (The ShowdownáandáA Tale of Mystery and Intrigue). A teenager and a young woman take on the role of avenging angels in classic tales of good versus evil (The Purple StaráandáGodhuli). Then there are possibilities that lie beyond the realm of human consciousness. Radha, Sasha and Jezzie take enormous risks by immersing themselves in other worldly adventures in their single-minded quest for truth and loveá(Turiya, Yatra and The Other Her).SHE Writers Group completes 5 years!The She Writers Group believes in creative activism and has ~45 women of Indian origin from around the world.
