Sanjana M. Vijayshankar is a copywriter born in Bangalore and based in Chennai. She dabbled in tax for a year before deciding to play with words for a living. When she’s not scribbling away in a little red diary, she can be found behind volumes of Terry Pratchett’s Discworld series, with her fingers wrapped around a cup of coffee.
Ghosts don’t exist or that’s what Arundhati believed till she became one. And that was just the beginning. When a horrible accident sends Arundhati into the netherworld, she is suddenly forced to make a choice to be good or bad for the rest of her afterlife. Seeing that she is unable to make up her mind, God and Satan decide to give her the famous Checklist—a list of deeds to complete. The way she fulfils each task on the list will make or break her fate. Armed with the list and loads of advice, she is sent back to Bangalore, her hometown, which she now sees from the point of view of a spirit. What ensues is an adventure involving eccentric companions, familiar faces, old memories and, maybe, redemption! Halos and Horns is a light-hearted and fascinating journey which will make you believe that no matter what life (or the afterlife) dishes out, it can be handled—with a pinch of sarcasm and ladles of humour!
