About the Book

'What Not Words' is a selection of impressions from life in the 1950s in India till the year 2000, then travel through the Indian diaspora. These are tales of everyday life, stories, both shared and lived, including Jayshree's own three decades of diplomatic reminisces outside the homeland. Retrospection reveals coming to terms with unanswered questions. The characters struggle with feelings of hope and desolation, to weave a tapestry of magic that depicts the transience of Life itself. Tales From Long Ago: "Two powerful themes animate this collection of short stories - they are the themes of love and transformation. The loves are those of struggle, regulation and pain, but also celebration, with the power to heal deep wounds. The impact of these loves are most keenly felt on the women characters whose voices and perspectives are dominant in this collection." Professor Neloufer de Mel, University of Colombo, Sri Lanka."I have often met similar women who have experienced tragedy, bereavement and violence but who regain their faith in humanity because their personalities are full of love and caring. They turn their experience on its head by making it into a creative moment allowing them to emerge wiser, stronger and full of life's energy. They reflect the triumphant aspects of the indomitable human spirit." Dr Radhika Coomaraswamy, Former UN Special Rapporteur VAW.Tales From the Diaspora: A foreign service officer chosen to represent India as its Ambassador or High Commissioner, is described as a Distinguished Citizen of India, by the President of India, in the credentials that are presented to a foreign President.The Legacy of a Distinguished Citizen of India is about sudden loss, betrayal and the hidden dangers of espionage.The Cry of the Penguin depicts a daughter's relationship with her parents, especially her mother, after the parents choose to live their retired lives apart, in their own spaces. Her coming to terms with their decision is her coming of age with the reality of Life's complexities.The Return of the Divas is a short story on friendship between school-friends that has endured over the decades. Their colourful intertwined lives and idiosyncrasies are revealed at their annual get-together.And Dear Reader....As We Near The End.....: The stories set in East Africa, Madagascar and Sri Lanka are based on actual incidents
