Vidya Krishnan's "White Lilies" Chronicles Grief in Delhi

Vidya Krishnan's book, 'White Lilies,' explores grief and road safety in Delhi after her husband's death.

The book does not focus on healing, rather carrying grief.

It also makes the author look at the works of Mirza Ghalib, using it as refuge.
