Time and tide wait for none. There could be times when we might feel like sitting beside our Mother or giving her a tight hug, but still something holds us back. And then one day she takes an exit from this world with the empty yet heavy vessel yet to be filled with unwavering love and care. This uninvited disease knocked at our door and entered into my Mother’s life; it was only then I realized that so many people are suffering from cancer. This is the story of my Mother who fought cancer. This is my journey with my Mother – a year that changed everything in my life. That 1 year made me realize the true meaning of the words Maa, Mother, Mom. I was fortunate to have interviewed top-notch gynecologists and oncologists of the country and learned more about this disease. In my quest to scuba dive into the ‘whys’ and ‘hows’ of cancer, I asked them the questions that every patient and their family members might have during the treatment. I have shared all those questions and answers at the end of this book. This book explains all possible treatment procedures, surgeries, chemotherapies, side-effects, medication, cost, pain, mental situation and strength of a cancer patient. Reviews: This book is very unique. The author has written his heart out, sharing his mother’s brave journey in fighting against cancer. As he gives a detailed description of his personal experiences, one can truly empathize with the author all the way through reading the book. The author not only shares his story but also sends a message to the readers to value their loved ones and take care of them, no matter what. -HARSHDEEP KAUR (Bollywood playback singer) What a lovely story! This book actually puts together my real-life chapter and fears that I have in my head, collectively! Thank you for writing this and making us aware even more of how important it is to express our love to our loved ones before we realise it’s too late! -DJ PAROMA

When six high security prisoners escape from Barnaby Prison on the western edge of the Great Dividing Range in southern New South Wales, it will never bode well for anyone they meet. Leaving a trial of destruction behind them, fate seems to direct the steps of the rapists, murderers, hit men and crime bosses towards Hidden Valley, a peaceful close-knit community on the edge of the national park. When confronted with dangers far greater and more sinister than the wild dogs decimating their sheep, the residents of the valley realise that given the right circumstances, anyone can become a killer.

“Hi, I am Trisha Agarwal, a 35-year-old married woman with a beautiful life but no children. As much as I’d like to believe that becoming a mother is a possibility, I know that there is an equal or maybe a higher probability that I will win a lottery than getting pregnant.” Trisha had always been a happy-go-lucky person who looked at the brighter side of things, till the day she started planning a baby. Soon she realized that there was nothing natural about trying to conceive naturally. To add to her woes, her younger sister, Mishti, was blessed with a baby without much ado. With her biological clock ticking at a pace faster than daily inflation, she decided to take charge and embrace the world of fertility treatments with the confidence that in no time she would be flaunting her baby bump. But soon she realized that the world of fertility treatments was not just overwhelming but also complex, demanding and expensive. From a wide range of blood tests to ovulation trackers, hormonal medicines, transvaginal scans, painful injections and seeking divine intervention, she endured it all and yet did not give up hope. She has come a long way from where she started (considering her dwindling bank balance), has been through a roller coaster of emotions (blame the hormonal injections) and learned a few valuable lessons about herself (she still sucks at accepting failures) in this incredible but daunting mission of conceiving a baby. Will she succeed in this arduous mission?
