Lost & Found in India  (English, Undefined, unknown)

The book is a diary written by an Australian living in India, who writes of the reasons of her adopting India.

Summary Of The Book

Lost & Found In India is a genuine account of an Australian’s encounters in India without false pretenses of spiritual impact or an analysis of the country. The writer writes about how she was entirely spellbound when she first came to the country and how deeply influenced she was by the wide array of colors and festivity. She explicitly confesses that the country made its way into her heart as she looked dumbfounded at the traditions and celebrations that seem to form the very spirit of the country.

She expresses how simply being in the country brought about a peace of mind that allowed her carry out an introspection of her life. She even found the weather so enticing that she did not want to return to the sunny climate of Australia. To her, India provided the shelter she had long since sought.

This book is certainly different from other books and accounts on India written by other non-residents, since the others described the country mostly as outsiders and their accounts rarely, if ever, reflected the true spirit of the country. They were mostly inaccurate and misinterpreted descriptions of the nation - a situation that Sorensen’s account seems to remedy. She has written the book through the eyes of an outsider-turned-insider, incorporating the culture, philosophy and spirituality that runs deep in the blood of the nation. She started living in a village near the Ganges. The book also incorporates an essential distinguishing feature of the Indian culture - the Indian weddings.

The book is a unique combination of wit, humor, controversy, philosophy, entertainment and spirituality.
