A little bit of context before you begin reading this book review. I have recently enrolled for an MA in Philosophy at the University of Mumbai.

A flash of white on a tree diverted me, and I hurried to see what it was. It turned out to be an Egyptian Vulture. . the saving grace of the long journey it had taken us to get here!!!
