Found that the book was written by Poile Sengupta and published by the Children's Book Trust, India. Seems like a fairly well-listed book, though possibly out of print now.
Random aside: The title of this blog is somewhat inspired by The Namesake which I watched today and it still thrives in my mind :)

The Exquisite Balance
Much as we may wish not, some things are meant to be. After a funny first adventure, I find myself looking for a blog name again! Thankfully the search was much shorter and more satisfying this time around :)
When I was still a school girl, a friend had given me a set of books for a birthday present. Most of them were kid-fiction but one was different. Called "The Exquisite Balance" , it had a picture of a boy and a girl sitting on the two pans of a scale, in perfect balance. Even though the contents of the book have long faded from memory, somehow the phrase and the picture have stubbornly stuck through the years. Often, as I wonder about random phenomena in life and nature, they keep coming back to me as the only way to describe the wonderfully delicate harmony that pervades all aspects of the world around us.
This blog shall hope to be a reflection of these random musings :)
