All Seasons Alike

Více o knize

All Seasons Alike is Bindiya’s journey of life which starts from a small chawl in Mumbai’s Sakinaka, where three underprivileged women (she, her mother, and her grandmother) thrived together some days on compassion, some days belittling each other. From free langars every Tuesday to studying in SUDHAAR and taking a leap of faith- Bindiya wanted to break this circle of under-privilege and poverty, get educated and make a living. But what when you have a series of people playing against you? So much so that you shift cities, run away from your past and change your identity. From Mumbai’s Bindiya in the past to Dilli’s Shaina in the present, this story captures the struggles of a woman who grew up suffering at the hands of every man who played a major role in her life, falling back to the same old pattern. The journey captures the life of not just Bindiya/Shaina but women like her- bringing in the themes of sisterhood and a sense of belonging when you have no one to fall back to. Though, dear reader I ask of you- what when even after all this running, you come back to full circle? When your past collides with the present? How do we end such tragic stories? Maybe, we don’t.
