Ekaantha Seetha…A Lonely Furrow is a celebration of women of extraordinary courage and character, of gumption and grace. The underlying theme says it all: “We reap the harvests of the loosened fields of lonely furrows ploughed by such women”. It is a celebration of women who have demonstrated the courage to be independent thinkers, to face and overcome obstacles and challenges - women of strength- physical, of mind, intellect and will.
