Shreeti: A Life that Still Shines by Shyamlal Yadav. Prabhat Prakashan. Pages 184. Rs 400

Having lost his daughter to acute liver failure, this book is journalist Shyamlal Yadav’s tribute to her short but bubbly life. The book has messages from her teachers, mentors, friends and family, exalting Shreeti’s infectious energy, kindness, courage, creativity and determination. It is also an attempt to raise awareness about the deadly disease.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
