My Take: 

She Was Born, She Died: A story dedicated to the women of the society is a second book I'm reading of the author Santosh Panda and it a story full of sentiments and emotions.

The author Santosh Panda has beautifully expressed the feeling of character Nupur who is going through a lot because of the society, and the way he has portrayed a helpless girl's emotions is just beyond extraordinary.
