SAANCH KI AANCH / साँच की आँच  (Hindi, Paperback, Dr. Arti 'lokesh')

The book ‘Sanch Ki Anch’ is a unique union of eleven stories penned on a quest for truth. These stories attain purity while aspiring to reach the virtues of love, dedication, devotion and inner strength; and discard all negative feelings like doubts, differences, selfishness, greed and echo the rise of emotions such as sacrifice, tolerance, empathy and wisdom. Many stories are the invitation for a sneak peek into the lives of Indian migrants through their troubles and painful incidences faced during the transition period. A village girl fights for her existence in an ultramodern city like Dubai; on the contrary, a teenager raised in Dubai finds difficult to adjust in her own motherland; and the pain of not reaching India after demise of own father are pictured well in shape of words. The stories also describe the virtue and faults of residential country and the native country in a comparable manner along with the flow of stories. A journey from traditional to modernization, step by step finds its own place in the scripts of these stories.
