1.  Under the Bakula Tree- A sisterhood finds roots against patriarchy.


This is the story of three women whose life is far removed from how the ideal union between the two sexes is envisaged in the above quote.  






The story blurb:

Living in modern, marvellous bungalows, married to globe-trotting husbands, educated, and earning salaries, the female inmates of the Skyward Residential Complex, a luxury residential complex in Kochi, Kerala, must live their lives to the fullest, enjoying each day.  However, the reality is different.  Sara's life is in the gravest peril; a widow, a mother of two—her schoolmate turned the love of her life is waiting for her to join him.  She has no genuine scope to reach him—it's impossible to break out of the surveillance of a stranger her in-laws have entrusted her life with and to chauffeur her around, the church set up, even the gatekeeper. 


 Under the Bakula Tree, away from the family surveillance, they meet and forge an unexpected sisterhood that provides them emotional stability, support, strength, and commitment.  Can it accomplish the impossible for Sara?

Writing and publishing this eBook is my way of bringing the plights of Indian women, Kerala women in particular, to the thinking point of others, a social cause.  You will have your own views and thinking about the book and the cause, and please share them with others in the form of a book review.
