In the second part, Lexmi relates to Mary Magdalene, her woes as a philosopher and her frustrations reflective of life in today's world. War is just like terrorism, 20 million people died in the two world Wars and 10 million people vanished at the time of partition of India. My novel is seriously discussing these issues.

After the law school, I have worked extensively as a Human Rights Activist with a special interest in police atrocities against women prisoners. I hold another interest in the Rights of Sex workers and gender politics. I have received many awards for my poetry, stories, and articles. I have won many philosophical debates. Received the prizes for the best orator in many intercollegiate competitions. My short story collection named ‘Slave Dynasty ‘(Adimavamsam) was one of the best sellers in India. I have participated in many international seminars. An important one among them is the International History Seminar in 2015. A paper of mine titled ‘Post-Colonial Feminist and Feminist Identity
