T – Junction: Crossing Over for Change

Times of India Books title T- Junction by Poonam Srivastava sketches life stories of Crossover Indian Social Innovators who have capitalized on their mainstream professional skills to start parallel experiments of change impacting many lives. The T metaphor represents the total path change between left or right like at a T- Junction traffic signal. We are concerned about the common thread of unrest running through recent traumatic events in seemingly unconnected places like Egypt, Greece, streets of burning London or our own backyard of Naxalite stress zones. We cannot ignore the unifying denominators of economic depravity and free radical forces of youth that threaten to ignite the tinder box of prevalent social inequities, one of the primary reasons behind such growing global unrest. Given such turbulent times, T- Junction is not just a book but a larger idea to inspire change. The T metaphor brings many possibilities in its fold. It becomes the Tipping point Traction moment of Transition; showing methods of Triumph over Troubles in times of Travails, resulting in scale Transformation steered by a culture of Total Team play. The book hopes to intrigue and inspire readers, especially the younger generation, about some celebrated and some less known but equally amazing tales of cool awesome human effort. It aims to bridge a warm connect between the readers and the documented causes. T- Junction stories can play the role of a Torchbearer for motivating many others desiring to walk the path of social impact but lacking clarity on strategy and modalities. Hence, we are keen to maximize outreach for the book to benefit greater number of interested readers. We would be very indebted for your support in achieving this goal.
