Have a look at the first sneak peek into the upcoming book, ‘The Lotus Diaspora: 10 Stories of Perseverance’.
“Within the flashy white walls of the big, blue office building, there are businessmen in suits bustling about, receptionists dialling a hundred phone calls, and the boss loudly giving out orders. Yet, amidst the businessmen, beside the receptionist, and behind the boss is Lakshmi, the hired help keeping this whole place together.
Although she might be a mere ink blot on a larger portrait, Lakshmi holds more resilience than what most people can even visualise in the seasoned bones of her fingers, as they grip cups of hot chai that soothe stressful meetings and use jhadus and pochas to clean entire floors. To work this intense daily is admirable enough as it is, but how she reached Chandigarh, in comparison, is a Himalayan feat.”
