Dreams, Delays & Destiny

By Miss Tulika Bose

Dreams, Delays & Destiny - The Story of Sanya

From the dusty lanes of a small North-Indian town to the glass towers of a global tech hub, Dreams, Delays & Destiny follows Sanya's extraordinary journey of grit, grace and ghungroos.

A childhood of quiet courage
Eight-year-old Sanya pads to school in second-hand sandals, hiding her cherished dance anklets in a cloth pouch. Her family struggles, the neighbourhood mocks, yet she meets every taunt with a brave half-smile and a determination far beyond her years.

A teenager caught between two worlds
When Sanya's family moves to a sprawling city, she swaps village frocks for kurta-and-jeans, juggling entrance exams by day and kathak rehearsals by night. The culture shock is real, the setbacks frequent, but each setback teaches her a new step-on stage and in life.

A woman who owns her spotlight
Years later, Sanya strides into a Bengaluru boardroom in a crisp blazer and low heels-ghungroo bells still tucked in her bag as a silent reminder of where she began. But success brings fresh trials: glass-ceiling boardrooms, simmering self-doubt, and a life-altering choice between a coveted promotion and the dance tradition she loves.

An inspiring true-to-heart tale
Woven with lyrical prose, vivid illustrations, and manga-style scene breaks, this book celebrates every small victory of a girl who refuses to quit. It is a testament to anyone who has ever felt unheard, underestimated, or out of place-and still dared to dream anyway.
