One of the most popular authors of India, Tahira Kashyap Khurrana took to social media to celebrate 'World Book Day', citing an excerpt from her last book '12 Commandments of Being a woman' with a hopeful message in these desperate times. Sharing a picture of herself surrounded by books, Tahira Kashyap wrote, "On #worldbookday quoting a few lines from my book #the12commandmentsofbeingawoman"
Added Tahira, "My practice tells me that the only reason we are faced with an obstacle is to become a better version of ourselves. It is an opportunity to change something in our life and a springboard to achieve greater heights. These are overwhelming times but a combined hopeful spirit will help us sail through. Let's go all out to display humanity by helping whomever we can and if for some reason we can't, let's say a small prayerðÂÂÂ".
