Safety Pin - An enthralling read

Oct. 6, 2015 - PRLog -- You know what’s one of the greatest feelings in this world? It’s the joy of overcoming one’s fears. The liberation one attains after venturing into something one has dreaded all his life and outgrowing the fear in the end is priceless. The book Safety Pin deals with a similar concept and in one of the most interesting ways – by making the protagonist travel. Traveling, not touring, moulds a man and brings out one’s inner, true self and this feel is beautifully translated into words by Sonali Bhattacharya, the author of Safety Pin. Published by Notion Press, Safety Pin is now available to readers all over the world.

Crisply written, the author presents before us a character, Rinky, who’s constantly hallucinating her aunt, Moni Mashi, post her aunt’s death in Manali. A young and spirited journalist she is, Rinky decides to go on a solo trip to Himachal Pradesh, a beautiful hill station, located in northern India. She goes on a trip to the place which supposedly holds answer to a mystery associated with her life and attempts to outgrow the fear that had stagnated in her mind all her life. Along the way, as travelers do, she meets a young entrepreneur, Shekhar, whom she claims to be her Safety Pin friend. What happens to them as they trek across the treacherous terrains of the Himachal region is what forms the crux of the story.

In simple language, the author pens down the story quite beautifully and takes us on a transcendental journey across Himachal Pradesh. With mysteries and answers to them lurking in each hair-pin bend, the book sure ends up being a page-turner. Get your copies today and gear up for the hike.
