Only, they don't. They junk the swivel chairs, gain a couple of backpacks and set out on a transformational journey across India. On a very, very tight budget: five hundred rupees a day for bed and board. And the Heat and Dust project begins. Joining the ranks of firang gap-year kids and Israelis fresh out of compulsory army service, they travel across a land in which five thousand years of Indian history seem to jostle side by side. It is, by turns, holy and hectic, thuggish and comic, amoral and endearing. In buses that hurtle through the darkness of the night and the heat of the day, across thousands of miles, in ever new places, the richness of this crowded palette spills over into their lives. From rooms by the hour to strange dinner invitations, from spectacular forts to raging tantrums, this is a youthful account of wanderlust and whimsy, of eccentric choices that unfold into the journey of a lifetime ... and a supreme test of marriage.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49924569596177,"sku":"GOR013814814","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50261889974545,"sku":"GOR013902183","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9351367495.jpg?v=1751001271"},{"product_id":"weight-loss-club-book-devapriya-roy-9788129124258","title":"The Weight Loss Club","description":"Set in a middle-class housing colony, this is the story of stay-at-home mum Monalisa, who cannot clean the kitchen counter enough times, Meera, who is bullied constantly by her traditional mother-in-law, college-going Abeer, who isn't sure how to impress the glamorous Mandy, academic Aparajita, who has no takers on the marriage mart, philosopher Ananda, whom no one takes seriously and Treeza, a former school secretary now sunk in gloom.

Who was Indira Privadarshini, the person after whom her grandfather named her? And why her? What is her legacy as India's first-and only-woman prime minister? Over the course of a long, hot summer and a curious friendship with an artist who is working on a biography of Mrs Gandhi, young Indira gets tangled up in the life and times of her memorable namesake. Sometimes by design and sometimes by accident, story after story comes alive-about a childhood spent in Allahabad growing the Vanar Sena, of a youthful romance with the charming Feroze Gandhi, of stints in jail and elephant rides through pouring rain, of a magnificent audacity that catapulted India onto the international stage, and of the final, tragic end that ripped apart the fabric of the nation.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":52722587271441,"sku":"NGR9789371973663","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9789371973663.jpg?v=1778147848"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-gb\/collections\/author-books-by-devapriya-roy.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
