Anand Giridharadas sensed something was afoot as his plane from America prepared to land in Bombay. An elderly passenger looked at him and said, "We're all trying to go that way," pointing to the rear. "You, you're going this way?"Giridharadas was returning to the land of his ancestors, amid an unlikely economic boom.

Motschi von Richthofen (Alexandra Motschmann), born in Munich, Germany, has published several poetry books and won several awards. Lifestyle and beauty are her main subjects. She demonstrated artistic talent at a young age, writing poetry. Her earliest literary efforts were romantic, conscientiously modelled on German poets like Rilke, Goethe, and Hesse and English poets such as Burns, Blake, and Wilde. While still in her youth, she also made the acquaintance of two individuals who would play an important role in her future: Greek poet Costa Vretto and Israeli painter David Beaucaire. Both flourished her character and supported her talent in writing.
