Soft cover. Zustand: New. The journey was like the voyage of Sinbad, full of adventure. Running up a Himalayan hillside pulling leeches off her legs, covering drug busts in a gritty US suburb to uncovering racism under the pure Alpine snow, Ashwini Devare's fascinating memoir is about growing up as an Indian Foreign Service child in the 70s and 80s. From the Soviet Union's Iron Curtain to Burma's Bamboo Curtain, Ashwini Devare lived in six countries by the time she was fifteen. In each country, she had a front-row seat to tumultuous global events that redefined the twentieth century, from the death of Lal Bahadur Shastri to the integration of Sikkim into India, the assassination of Indira Gandhi to student-led democracy in South Korea. Ashwini Devare's journey from diplomat's daughter to broadcast journalist was marked by constant changes and upheaval. 'Fitting in' was the mantra for survival. This is a remarkable story of an Indian family that faces the challenges of love, loss and separation with resilience, optimism and courage. A family that would continually be flung from their comfort zones into alien, unfamiliar lands, always holding hands to soften the landings. In the background was the constant comfort of the Indian flagproviding reassurance as the family navigated their way in foreign lands.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Batik Rain is a collection of delicately nuanced short stories that unravel the complexities that layer Indians in foreign lands. Like a slow winding river, the stories meander through the lush locales of Bali and Siem Reap to the charming by lanes of Hyderabad and Pune, where characters spring to life with striking vividness. Written in an evocative literary style, the personal angst of these characters is sensitively etched through poignant personal journeys in search of the self. This soul-searching forms the theme of Homecoming, which explores the emotional relationship between a US-returned software engineer and his mother, a prominent politician from Pune whose passion for her profession creates a rift between them. Anthem of Guilt takes the reader through the twists and turns of a young man's guilt-ridden conscience, his love-hate relationship with India, a country he left eighteen years ago, but can't get out of his system. Batik Rain shows a young Indian-American couple wanting to get away from Boston in the aftermath of 9/11 and who find the spectre of terror haunting them yet again, this time in the idyllic island of Bali. Six stories, like beads strung together, gentle yet resilient, coming full circle, like new beginnings.
