"Love has many faces, and Ranjana Joshi paints them with the colors of family and friendship, loss and hope, evoking in every story the uniqueness of the great struggles and gifts in life." – Lisa Schantl, editor-in-chief at Tint Journal

Love is the biggest motivator in the world, the most powerful of all emotions. The love for a person, for family, money, work. It is what drives us, what gives us a purpose in life.

Falling in love or out of love.
The love of a mother or that of a daughter.
The love that was lost or the one that was found.
Be it passionate or in affection bound.
The adoration, the fondness, the zeal and warmness.
The one that we mess or the one we embrace.
Love is all around us, in various shades it surrounds us.

These poignant stories will make you fall in love, make you laugh and cry. They will make you sympathise, empathise, sometimes love and sometimes even hate. It’s an emotional ride through incidents we have experienced, heard, shared or seen – the stories of the various Shades of Love.
