Around Every Corner” is the first part of a text written in epistolary form, in the emergency, at the Tihar Women’s Prison, in New Delhi, under difficult conditions and uncertainty.

The story of a long journey, literally and figuratively, intimate, which leads the writer as the recipient inexorably to the emergence of the corner of spirituality and on its land of wisdom: India.
