Cover Reveal- Shweta Bachchan-Nanda is all set to launch her Debut Novel ‘Paradise Towers’


Just days after her fashion line launched, Shweta Bachchan- Nanda is now all set to make her writing debut with her first book, 'Paradise Towers.' 
Here, take a sneak peek into what the plot is all about!
About Paradise Towers: 
Dinesh opens the door to the Kapoor flat to find Lata, the enchantress who works at Mrs Aly Khan’s, carrying a hot case with freshly made gaajar ka halwa. On the first floor, the inquisitive Mrs Mody wipes the dust off her precious binoculars to spy on the building’s security guard. The Singhs open the doors of their SUV, their four boys creating a ruckus – they are the newcomers, the outsiders. Through the peephole, the ever-watchful Mrs Ranganekar observes their arrival. Welcome to Paradise Towers, an apartment building in central Mumbai. Everyone here has a story to tell. Or maybe they have stories to hide.

Shweta Bachchan-Nanda’s quirky, intimate debut explores the intertwined lives in this building – a forbidden romance, an elopement, the undercurrents of tension in corridor interactions and an explosive Diwali celebration. Shweta Bachchan-Nanda’s is a dazzling voice that will draw you into the intoxicating, crazy world that is Paradise Towers. The book will be published by Harper Collins India. 

Speaking about how she came to write Paradise Towers, Shweta Bachchan-Nanda said,
‘I grew up with my grandfather who was a poet and a writer. Writing and reading was always a very important part of our lives. I’ve been writing a diary ever since I was a little girl and wrote stories that I never shared with anyone. Then, one day I just said, I am going to take this plunge. I started writing a column for a newspaper in Mumbai and it gave me a lot of confidence to go ahead and do this full time, and that’s where Paradise Towers comes from.’

Karan Johar, renowned filmmaker, further added, ‘Observant, moving, hilarious and exceptionally astute... Paradise Towers is no slice of life...it's an entire loaf. Shweta “builds” her debut novel with the ease of a literary veteran. Go find your Paradise between these pages!’
Shreya Punj, Assistant Editor, HarperCollins India, who acquired the book, said, ‘I fell in love with the story when I first read it. Now, Paradise Towers is ready to meet its readers, and I cannot wait for people to fall in love with this quirky, intimate world Shweta has created. We’re proud to be publishing her debut – it’s fresh, insightful and a story that will resonate with everyone.’

Selfless Love

Image Credit -Google She is someone who is ready to sacrifice her comfort for the love of her child. Someone, wh o will say 'yes' despite the various consequences. She carried you alone on her womb for nine months enduring all pain yet, not a single complain on any days. She went in pain to give life to another being. She may be quite, although there are millions of thoughts and words going through her mind. She would spent those sleepless night to see that her son does better in his test. And, she tries her best to cook the perfect dinner so that her husband can go to bed with a happy stomach. She might as well give up all her wellbeing to let her daughter get the best of everything. She bears all the hardship to see that the house is in good shape and in peace. She is your mother, My mother, Our dearest Mother. And, most of the time we fail to say the simplest of thank you to her, or the little word of appreciation to make her...
