What happens when the silence of a small town meets the chaos of the human mind?
Growing up in Haldwani, Mansi noticed a pattern: we talk about everything in India—politics, cricket, neighbours—except the things that happen behind our eyes. As a journalist turned mental health advocate, she decided to stop reporting the news and start investigating the soul.
From the "racing thoughts" of anxiety to the "fractures" of dissociation, this book is a journey through the Indian psyche. It’s not a textbook; it’s a mirror. Combining raw interviews, field observations, and clinical insights, it strips away the jargon to reveal the human stories that have been hidden. Whether you are a student, a parent, or someone searching for their own reflection, this book is an invitation to stop asking “Log Kya Kahenge?” and start asking, "How are you, really?"
