Author: Uma RanganathanPublisher: PenguinYear: 2004Language: EnglishPages: 289ISBN/UPC (if available): 0143031236 DescriptionLooking back on your life, you see that there are times when it couldn't have been any other way. You get a sense of the invisible hand up in the sky, having silently and mysteriously laid out the path you were meant to follow in the interminable forest surrounding you.Uma Ranganathan is a woman on a mission: a journey through space and time to find herself. Shuttling between East and West, she undergoes psychoanalysis, dabbles in consciousness-expanding substances and recalls fragments of her past in an effort to understand her own psyche. Insights emerge from the quilt of her memory, one at a time, but a restless yearning remains: what do the most important themes in her life-friendship, love, anger, death, home, learning to live with others - really mean to her?Amidst all the questions and doubts, friendship and home are the constants.
