Stories of Gangapur. Trupti Mahavir Jamalpure

We all have grown up listening stories or being a part of a story. This book too is all about people and their little struggles, which weave beautiful stories. The five stories in this book are entirely different from each other; the stories will goad you to a question - Is an end a new beginning?1) The story of loss' is about Chanda and Bano who share their loss. Chanda walked out of a loveless marriage to search a new meaning to her life. She goes back to Gangapur, the soil where she was born. She goes to her 'Baba's' home, her home where she meets Bano. Bano has lost a lot in life. This is their story of loss.2) Twin Sisters - Tara and Veda are twin sisters who once shared a womb, kicked each other but lived togther. They were unaware of how their life was intertwined. They were poles apart and these differences only made them sulk and unhappy. Will they ever be able to break this bond of blood?3) The madman of Gangapur - Sakha is a troubled man who has a problem with every single person. He is an uncompassionate person who brings a madman to the village unknowingly. This madman later, teaches compassion and kindness to the villagers. Does he change Sakha? 4) The Spiritual Journey - What happens when one know s/he is unwanted? One tries to question her/his existence. This is Bharati's story who was born in a house that always wanted to boy. Bharati tries to fit in! The 'self-love' factor diminishes and her only aspiration is to make her father proud. Spirituality might be her escape. Has she genuinely taken a spiritual route? However, she fails miserably. 5) The Mango Chutney - This is about Ratna and her father Jamnabhai. Jamnabhai unwillingly gets married and as a result an unwanted child 'daughter Ratna' is born. He loathes Ratna and never acknowledges her presence in his life until she marries Ashok to bore Jamnbhai a grandson. Jamnabhai is utterly fond of his grandson, and they plant a mango tree together. The tree is a testimony to Jamnabhai's love and longingness for his grandson. The tree stands tall through this journey of Jamnabhai's life with Anand (his grandson). All these stories depict a peculiar nature of humans. There are so many facets to our nature and us. With every story you will decode a different side of human nature and emotions.
