When an inquisitive person's eyes met the gaze of that dishevelled man on the street corner; there was something intriguing hiding beneath the layers of weariness enveloping him, a story perhaps? What followed was a collection of conversations held with people such as him, a journey across India that captures the true essence of the nation - undying boldness in spirit, relentless hope for better things to come, and courage in the face of hardships. This book is about all these things, and more. These stories will possibly ignite that elusive human emotion 'empathy' within you and perhaps make you step, however briefly, into another person's shoes and see the world through their eyes. Today, when the world seems to thrive on virtual forms of communication, this book of Conversations may make you pause and think about that person you have passed at the train station every day, but never made the time to speak to. Everyone has a story. Stop. Talk to someone now. Communicate. Usher in social change.
