First Place 2021 Page Turner Writing Award (Fiction) and the Best Book Title
|
![]() The short stories in the collection blend emotion and introspection. I would recommend this book to any short story lover. The stories are not straightforward thereby doesn't take the reader for granted. The reader is made to think. Imagine. Expand the story in his/her mind. One of the best short story collections that I have read recently. - Booxoul review - April 16, 2018 Goodreads reviews: http://www.goodreads.com/book /show/22283154-transactions-of-belongings |

inDIALOG - Television to inspire View the archived website India West writes about inDIALOG by Lisa Tsering ( Dec 29, 2000) Excerpts: "A new Indian American television show seeks to break the "Bollywood and more Bollywood" mold, with interviews with prominent Indian politicians and artists." "Padmanabhan produces, directs and coanchors the show with classical dancer Vidhya Subramaniam. As they explain in a press release, the show "draws the spotlight on the singular achievements of individuals.....artists, musicians, authors, entrepreneurs and other captains of industry." " |
