For Ananth, who has been on the opposite side, no life is less worthy, no cause too small to support. Behind them are teams for whom going to extraordinary lengths to save lives is more than a full-time occupation. In front of them is the virtual world of social media-watching, interacting, judging, making choices, and sometimes, saving lives. From the virtual to the real, their lives and that of their families, entangle in a way that moving together is the only solution. They can't escape each other. In this world of complicated relationships, should love be such a difficult ride?

It’s not a choice; it’s just what happened. It’s not a conversation; it’s shared silences. They don’t heal each other; they just make it bearable. And, they’re still there . . . Two broken souls. Together―yet alone. Yet together. When life takes the call for Aditi and Raghav and turns their worlds upside-down, they have no other choice but to hold on to each other; to find solace in shared pain. What emerges is a new pattern and they find a way―not just to cope but to keep that heart-shaped hole in their chests safe from further destruction. While We Wait is a gripping story that gives love and togetherness a new emotional note.

Education is the foundation of the development of any country. But in our country, the First Education Policy was framed in 1968, 21 years after independence; the second policy was formulated in 1986; 34 years later, India got the National Educational Policy-2020 on 25th July, 2020. Besides these, certain commissions were also constituted for reforms in education, which made some good recommendations, but these could not be implemented for sheer want of political will. For an instance, the Kothari Commission in 1968, recommended 6 per cent of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) for expenditure on education, which was also adopted by the Education Policy-1986, but this is yet to be translated into practice. If we ignore pre-colonial period, the Bharat of post-independence has not yet been able to determine the aim of education. Character building and moulding a human i.e. holistic development of personality should be the aim of education. Essays on related subjects are included in this book. To identify the issues and problems that plague the education, and their solution, we carried out basic but innovative experiments in schools, colleges and universities. The original experiences of these exercises have been penned down as articles and research papers. This book is an anthology of the related writings.
