During the course of her research and writing for this book, Janhavi witnessed Mumbai’s worst terror attack, yet successively saw her city bounce back to normalcy. In Goa, she retraced her roots, made wonderful new friends, drank lots of feni, spotted a cobra, got drenched in monsoon showers, and saw beautiful sunsets in Gokarna and Hampi with her husband Anil. Needless to say, this book is very special to her.
