From heading an ashram at Rajneeshpuram, Oregon, USA, in the 1980s to allegedly spearheading what is known as the largest bioterror attack in American history and spending thirty-nine months in prison, Ma Anand Sheela's life is one that fascinates and intrigues. But who is the woman beyond the persona of the commune leader? What is Sheela like behind the sensational 'tough titties' avatar? Manbeena Sandhu followed the Osho movement for two decades before her journey finally led her to Sheela. Nothing to Lose is a no-holds-barred account of Sheela's life, her intense relationship with Bhagwan, and the riveting story of what actually happened behind the closed doors of the cult's ashram.

Authors featured in this anthology include Agatha Christie, Emily Bronte, Rabindranath Tagore, Emily Dickinson, F. Scott Fitzgerald and Edgar Allan Poe among others.

True in essence to the meaning of 'haiku', or 'pleasure verse', and just like the late-bloomer cherries of Shillong, Late-Blooming Cherries is meant to be savoured as slowly, embracing the beauty of each poetic moment.
