Speaking of the book, the author Suhani Dewra said, “The interviews vary from why one must be vegan to what it is like to live in a house made of brick sans paint, and the fact that there are destinations besides the West that offer wonders of the nature that one can travel to for leisure. Every interview is inspirational and some of the practices from each can be imbibed in readers’ everyday lives.” When probed on what inspired her to write the book, Suhani said, “I had had a change of lifestyle and that urged me to talk about it to the world. I used the book as the medium.”

The book launch was conducted at a city café Bagh Beans Coffee and Art located in Jubilee Hills.
