The Unfortunate Kidnapping : Tales of Destiny-Pratima Srivastava 

The stories in this collection celebrate the journey of life - its different colours, its different forms, its ups and downs. Adversity unfolds with Ganesh’s Kidnapping, compassion shows off its power with a Dramatic Rescue, as Granny’s Angel Anindita discovers that it was time she swam against the tide, notwithstanding the Great Deluge that temporarily uproots Mandu’s family. The belief that life is a continuum and key to survival all along is to hitch a ride onto hope and optimism in the face of biggest of challenges; stands Mr Vashisht in good stead as he faces a Herculean Dilemma over a forced VRS, while little Samir struggles to cope up with gigantic Pebbles of Turbulence, not to forget little Yug's Destiny that takes a U turn much to his surprise and delight.
