POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

This dramatic account, at once epic and intimate, gives readers a unique lens on India – its tumultuous post-independence history and its present political struggles – offering an insider’s keen perspective on the country’s enormous political, economic and social changes over fifty years. Movingly, the book goes behind the scenes of a renowned political family. Most revelatory of all is the portrait of Sonia herself as she invites readers into her private joys and travails, as well as the people and events that shaped her. In a voice at once perceptive and modest, she shares her insights into identity, duty, and the meaning of home. Belonging is at heart one courageous woman’s story of falling in love with a man and a country, of finding the strength to remake her life and to serve India, the place where she belongs. by @jilpanz

Our father would’ve turned 80 today. He left us ten years ago on an otherwise quiet day. In all the time we knew him - he was a simple man, devoted son, loving husband and father, who helped us three boys understand the value of kindness, and freedom. He introduced us to the wonderful world of dogs, transforming our lives forever. He’d make the morning coffee, every day, before rushing to the Bank he ran for many decades. If there was one thing that he made sure we understand - it was that only we are responsible for the consequences of our decisions, and why therefore we had to be mindful of every forward foot. by @jilpanz
