“With the smell etched in her soul, the musk deer galloped through strangers, searching for her own.”
'Kasturi' the musk in you , is about the travails of a woman who is a simple happy girl, with a zest for life and had a dream to build and succeed in her business ventures, balancing this with her duties on the personal front.
She is just another lady. Maybe sitting next to you on the 4th seat of a fast local train, a lady standing in a queue behind you to take a ferry to her destination, a lady staying next door whose voice may not be soothing but sings regularly as she cooks.
Some days she is a mess, some days she is a fighter and knowingly or unknowingly some days she is a bit of both as the situation demands. But every moment she is there facing, fighting, trying but never giving up.
‘Kasturi’ is not just the name of a woman. It is the inner alluring fragrance that a musk deer carries within itself but searches everywhere outside it's own body to find the source. The protagonist of this book goes through a painful but learning and illuminating journey to discover that search.
