2Devi's hand came to a jarring halt halfway to the open drawer.
3Devi was not the first person in her family to attempt suicide.
4In the sanctum was Devi, a large black figure with ten arms.
5Sir, please do not leave India without a glimpse of Nirmala Devi.
6I gestured at the bookshelves, the large velvet-curtained bed, at Devi herself.
7They had been caring for her while Ms Devi was in Australia.
8Devi is most renowned as a straight-talking hard-hitting journalist for Carte Blanche.

10But even as Shobha's cell phone rang, Devi knew she was procrastinating.
11I knocked on Devi's door, alarmed by how numb my hand was.
12Devi thought about it for another second, then shook her head firmly.
13Devi opened the door for me and widened her eyes in shock.
14This book really wouldn't have happened without Kristin, Devi, and Francesca.
15Devi remains one of the country's most accomplished journalists and presenters.
16Devi looked thoughtful for a moment, then handed it to me.
