Thinking of Winter

When Shantanu left for the United States, the promise of a new life felt quiet, isolating and cold.
Then Winter arrived. A puppy adopted selfishly.
Shantanu did not realize how much this decision would shape his life.
Everyone loves their dogs, naturally. Every dog is a good boy, naturally. But Winter is no ordinary dog. With old soul eyes and a heart that made room for everything, Winter skipped the chaos that any puppy is entitled to. Instead, he chose a unique path, like a gentleman who had wandered in from another time, and decided he would share it with the world.
From the snowed-in streets of Ithaca to the restless rain of Mumbai, between these pages is an adventure of a lost adult and a special dog. In Winter’s stillness, lie lessons on how to stay. In his charm, one learns how to meet the world with softness. In his quiet daily life, are buried hints on how to heal.
These adventures are a tender chronicle of companionship, resilience and the small, surprising ways in which a four-legged friend set out to change a few many worlds.
