The day Mayadevi turned sixty-eight seventy or seventy-five years old (her date of birth was an ever-changing fact linked to her moods) she decided to go to London.'Thus begins Bulbul Sharma's delightful collection of stories about her aunts young and old tetchy and unpredictable brave and exasperating. One aunt thinks nothing of leaving her village to walk up high mountains in search of peace and shelter another ends up with a husband who cannnot cope with the daily humiliation of having to look up a his tall wife and a third enters service in a palace that every day sinks a little deeper into the pond beneath its foundation.Illuminated by a vast compassion for the travails of women struggling to cope with changing lifestyles and traditions My Sainted Aunts is as much an insight into the lif of a lost generation as it is a rollicking read.

Bulbul Sharma has spent a lifetime exploring the gardens, parks and forest areas in and around Delhi. This delightful book is the result of her wanderings. From Grey Hornbills and Roseringed Parakeets in Lodi Gardens to the handsome resident Indian Eagleowl at Tughlakabad Fort, she recounts her observations of all manner of birds and animals with the zeal of a true nature lover. She describes how the different seasons bring about changes to Delhi's flora and fauna. During fogshrouded winter days, she makes her way to Sultanpur Lake to watch the migratory birds; in Delhi's brief spring, when every roundabout and garden is a riot of colour, she watches the birds busily building their nests. In the cruel summer months when everyone escapes indoors to escape the heat, the calls of the Coppersmith and the Green Barbet resound from every leafy tree. And then the monsoon arrives heralded by the Piedcrested Cuckoo which never fails to predict the rain. Sharma observes how the enforced solitude of the lockdowns in Covid days turned many of us into nature lovers, who suddenly discovered the pleasures of watching the birds on the trees. Now that things are back to normal, she hopes that these newborn nature lovers will continue to savour one of life's simplest joys birdwatching.
