Shirooru, October 07: Whilhelmina Mathew marked her debut in the literary limelight with the release of “Maya and the Studded Cowry”, published by Partridge India. The novel charts the adventures of a girl to achieve her ambitions, seek her own identity and find liberty.
The book brings to light the abuse and disrespect that young girls and women in India face for being considered as the weaker sex. Through "Maya and the Studded Cowry,” Mathew portrays the strength and wit of women, and encourages them to break the damaging barriers of society and dare to achieve their dreams.
With the recent molestations and rapes, girls and women have become a target. This book proves that even though these atrocities exist in the society, nothing can stop a girl from growing normally and doing what she wants to do. She breaks all barriers and reaches her goal, Mathew says.

Leopard strays into house in Mysuru
Mysuru (Karnataka) (PTI): A male leopard strayed into a house here on Friday, triggering panic among residents, forest officials said.
The incident occurred around 10 am at Siddhartha Layout in the city, they said.
According to officials, the leopard, estimated to be around three to four years old, entered the house of a resident identified as Suresh. The animal was found hiding beneath a cot in one of the rooms. Those in the house managed to escape and alerted forest department officials, who rushed to the spot along with veterinarians.
The leopard, suspected to have strayed from the Chamundi Hills or nearby forest areas, was eventually tranquilised. It was later safely shifted to the Mysuru Zoo, a senior forest official said.
