REACHING FOR THE STARS
(2008)
As part of Shishu Mandir's Silver Jubilee celebrations, the autobiography of Hella Mundhra, Shishu Mandir's founder, was released. Titled Reaching for the Stars it tells the story of Hella's journey from Hameln to Bengaluru. As the back of the book puts it, Hella Mundhra's story is a fascinating account of how our dreams can fuel destiny and of the serendipitous nature of our lives.
