MagicNine -a true account of the inner adventures of a young girl to consciousness
...when all roads come to an end, the magical road begins...
This tale follows a young Indian girl who believes in the idea of a soul mate. Guided by certain dreams, she takes on the voyage of her heart, magically navigating Asia, Europe, Africa, South-North-Central America...
Through synchronous events, Boi meets a mysterious man she believes is her soul mate. But then the love she’s just found is lost because of her own fears. She must battle the dark nights of her soul, or remain discontent the rest of her life. Thus begins the inner journey. Her heart nudges, and like a fallen leaf, she flies in the direction of her dreams blindly, with only signs wrapped in the sheets of desire guiding her.
The day Boi decides to listen to her heart, it compels her to bare her soul naked to this man, for he is her magicNine! Over the next three years, she writes to him the story of her heart, sometimes trying to impress him with her knowledge of the universe, at other times desperate to revive her lost love, yet never giving up until the writing takes on a life of its own, and the saga of her life unfolds in the pages of this book through myriad musings mailed to him over millions of moments of madness, melody, and magic.
Words flow to her from all corners of the universe, pushing her story in a collage of expressions, a piece from here, a text from there, a poem from nowhere, all of which fit the jigsaw of her life story, one she is reluctant to write...

Still in her teens, she left her home having won a scholarship to study abroad. Since then she has not just travelled, but dwelled in different continents learning the language of life and love through myriad mirrors of reality. From Asia to Europe to Africa to South America to North & Central America, she has lived with local families, eating their food, adopting their lifestyles, contributing to their economy, inhabiting their culture, imitating their costumes, negotiating extreme realities and belief systems, and navigating varied traditions and religions for several years to answer life’s most pertinent questions. Coming from a conservative family in India, she had to overcome all limitations to fly!
From being a computing graduate to a marketing executive to a German interpreter, English teacher, Spanish translator to now an author and performer, mysterious coincidences have led her from one place to another, contriving her to live her destiny, to leave a legacy.
She was born in Kolkata but grew up in different states of India, so it felt as if she was always in a new country. Her childhood was, thus, a preparation for what was to come in adulthood. She is multilingual and can speak six languages.
She has been invited to speak at several TEDx events internationally, Women Economic Forum (WEF), UN groups, and more distinguished venues worldwide in multiple languages.

Amazing adventure of the mind !!
May 4, 2015
An excellent anecdote capturing the inner adventures of Baisakhi while traveling to many countries of almost all the continents of the world at such a young age and her visualization of life as it unfolds in different perspectives! The book records in an unique way the deep experience, lively thought-processes, close interactions particularly an enjoyable dialogue with the subconscious mind, heart and the soul and the soul-mate through emails and ultimately meeting the soul-mate in another world of realization...and her depiction of feelings through songs and poems keep the reader thoroughly engaged and amused, contemplating the food for thoughts and spiritual interpretation and tempting to know what next until the last page of magicNine! A must-read for any thoughtful and inquisitive human being!
