EXCERPTS

ʻʻThis is more than a tale for children with a moral for grown-ups. These are beginning to abound. The White Crow is a flight of the imagination in concept and in detail that is not easy to put down. Invention has no age. One looks for Neera Maini Srivastav's next work with some impatience.ʼʼ

Gerson da Cunha

ʻʻOf all the genres, allegorical fiction which would appeal to children and adults is among the most challenging for any writer. Neera Maini Srivastav has taken on this challenge and acquits herself with credit. The White Crow is an engaging novella, alive with interesting characters, insightful truisms about life and the value of hopeʼʼ

Ayaz Memon, DNA

ʻʻWe need superheroes today more than ever before, so what can be better than a supercrow; the most visible denizen of urban skies? Much like St. Exupery’s The 'Little Prince' this story is a children’s parable on the surface but carries within it universal themes of acceptance, discrimination, self-discovery and ultimately forgiveness in the face of cruelty. A tale of human nature for our times and indeed for all times.ʼʼ

ʻʻ Being in the children's entertainment space, I not only enjoyed reading but transported myself to " Bob's " shoes and could visualize the kind of fun I would have had with ' Magic ' :). I see the beginning of a series... story sequels with " Bob " .... like ' Harry Potter '....for younger audiences with some exciting visual effects ʼʼ

A K Madhavan- CEO, Crest Animation Studios Ltd.

“ Neera is indeed a gifted writer with substance and great visual sense so much so that you are instantly drawn into her world...in this book she excels in narrating the journey of a kid who finds magic in most materialistic world that ultimate leads him to certain profound truths...it is a journey replete with fun, excitement and entertainment creating ' ‘the Harry Potter of India '...well done.ʼʼ

Subhash Ghai, renowned filmmaker

“The writing is as racy as a child’s imagination. Narrative and descriptive at the same time, Neera has managed to get into the mind of the child and see colours, images, dialogues, perspectives and relations from a completely different scale. Definitely, an interesting read.ʼʼ

ʻʻNeeraa takes us through a journey of technology and tradition, youth and adulthood, the future and the past and everything that is in-between! A marvellous story of science and faith.ʼʼ

Ravi Deshpande, founder & Chairman, Whyness

ʻʻFor today's generation, faith in the divine must be ingrained early to enable them to deal with the chaotic world around them. However, the concept of faith would appear alien to them unless it is presented in a laguage they understand. By using the digital medium( a Tablet) as a vehicle to convey this concept, the book talks to young people the language they understand.ʼʼ

HACK THE BOREDOM CODE

Synopsis

In a world with increasing stress, lifestyle imbalance , new age challenges and mental health glitches , ‘well-being’ is the new God everyone’s seeking. While adults have infinite choices and options to course-correct paths, the young adults , though have increasing incidences of mental and physical health challenges, have little or almost no aids to holistic health and well-being. With increasing juvenile obesity and depression hitting the teens, there is a dire need to address the same- the key issue being ‘Boredom’- the new pandemic.
