People and Other Animals: Story of a Neighborhood

INDRANI SIRCAR is a freelance writer, artist and photographer who left Canada to make her home in Northern California. An ardent animal lover and animal rights activist, she came to the U.S., unfettered by assignments, to find a life among new people in an unfamiliar nook of the Bay Area. With a sense of adventure, she became a retail bookseller and developed a fascination for the retail industry, working in eclectic jobs, keeping her passion for animal rescue in the forefront.

Indrani was born to Indian parents and spent her early years in Southern India before coming to New York to complete her graduate studies. Her years in Canada were spent with her spouse with whom she collaborated in establishing, Deadline Yesterday, a communications company.

Through two decades in the Bay Area, she kept a journal on her encounters with other animal lovers and her experinces with her own pet family. She has nurtured and fostered animals and continues her efforts to care for wildfire and feral cats.

This is her first book.
