A tourist stumbled upon one grieving woman during his morning strolls along the hilly tracks of Darjeeling. The woman seemed to be a hermit draped in saffron as she was inconsolable in the backdrop of persistent rain and chilly weather with thick fog engulfing the entire Himalayan range. The tourist inquired about the cause of her distress, to which, after moments of silence, the woman narrated a story that transfixed the tourist with sheer wonder leaving him in a state of hallucination where religion or the less of it along with respect, love, and faith created a rich tapestry of mythical proportion. It left him, soul-searching for the elusive truth of our own life and existence. What was that narrative that left the tourist speechless?? Tune in to this philosophical mysticism that presents a time-agnostic commentary that was relevant yesterday is relevant today and perhaps shall remain relevant till humanity survives.

Marianne Dashwood wears her heart on her sleeve, and when she falls in love with the dashing but unsuitable John Willoughby she ignores her sister Elinor's warning that her impulsive behaviour leaves her open to gossip and innuendo.

Through their parallel experience of love—and its threatened loss—the sisters learn that sense must mix with sensibility if they are to find personal happiness in a society where status and money govern the rules of love.Zum Buch
