Help with the title of a book...

rajkumar · Jul 26th, 2006, 15:56

Hi
A few months back I read a review of a book written by a lady who went to Kumaon hills of Uttaranchal. She spent a few years in a village and wrote her experiences of the rural life in the hills. I have forgotten the book title and the name of the author. I remember her name sounds like a Bengali name and she worked in Mumbai. So I request the learned members of Indiamike to help me trace that book.
Thank you

A shot in the dark...

Is it "Living on the move - Bhotiyas of the Kumaon Himalaya" by Vineeta Hoon?

Hi Bigzee,
Nice to see you. NO it's not that book. I know Ms. Vineeta Hoon. She did an anthropological and socialogical research on Bhotias. Currently she stays in Chennai.
The book I was thinking about is a description of country life in Kumaon( around Almora ) and the author's experiences. She leaves Mumbai fed up with civilization and starts living in a place near Almora/ Ramgarh. It's about Pahadi locals who speak Kumaoni. Ofcourse, Bhotia people also live in Kumaon at the border areas. They speak Sino - Tibetan languages.
Thank anyway.
