People say that a reader lives a thousand lives before he dies. Books have a magical way of transporting you into the protagonist’s world and seeing the events unfolding right in front of your eyes. One such book that I read recently was Twinkle Khanna’s, The Legend of Lakshmi Prasad.

The book consists of four simple yet brilliantly written feel-good stories that manage to strike a chord with the reader compelling him to face the ugly truths in our rigid society.

The titular story weaves its way through a village that celebrates the birth of girls owing to one of its spirited rebellious teenagers proposing a simple solution to battle the female foeticide menace, thus reinstating the fact that women can be their own superheroes.

Salaam, Noni Appa tells the story of a 68-year-old lonely widow and her young yoga instructor, who break all societal barriers and stereotypes and decide to be together after falling in love.

If The Weather Permits momentarily puts us in Elisa’s shoes when she makes peace with the fact that a marriage may not necessarily lead to self-actualisation and that she’d rather belong to herself than any man.

The Sanitary Man from a Sacred Land is based on the story of social entrepreneur Arunachalam Muruganathan. We follow fictitious Bablu Kewat on his journey from social pariah to national celebrity, finally realising his dream of providing low-cost hygienic sanitary pads to rural women all over the country.

Not all heroes wear capes and the delightful stories in this book spell just that. The beautifully crafted characters and narration are sure to pull at your heartstrings and take you on a roller coaster of emotions.
