Do you want to delve into the complex landscapes of human emotions and relationships? From crime to the supernatural, angst of adolescence to marital discord, from unrequited love to divine pardon, from fighting patriarchy to funny wee-wee experiences. Banerjea’s characters are an interesting bunch—from benign spirits, to quirky octogenarians, from adventurous kids to loving reptiles, from lovers seeking second chances to careless parents. Her tales touch on human frailties with amusement. Others deal with sombre social issues, without any moral judgment. Chowringhee Charms will magically transport you to the country’s East and give you an interesting glimpse of the lifestyle, psyche, strengths, and foibles of the people there.

Exam anxiety, alcohol and drug abuse, compulsive gaming and Internet addiction disorder are some of the common teen problems that were discussed at a workshop for awareness on mental health that parents, students and teachers at St. James’ School attended at Addlife Caring Minds.
The two-hour session covered a wide range of topics from what mental health is all about to causes of mental illness and identifying mental health issues in children besides bullying, differences between school avoidance and truancy and relationship problems.
Mental health, we were told, is a term that describes a level of cognitive, social or emotional well-being, and is not merely an absence of a mental disorder. The discussion shattered myths like people who need psychiatric help should be locked away in institutions or that a person with a background of mental illness can never be normal or that people with mental illness history can only work at low-level jobs.
The interactive workshop was interspersed with role-playing and PowerPoint presentations. Students did an interesting role play on bullying with teachers and parents joining in and tips were given to both teachers and students on how to respond to bullying and protect one from being bullied.
