Addressing a range of real-life issues, No Regrets is for women of all ages and from all walks of life. Not just a self-help book, the narrative is engaging and personal. It tells us what not to do, what to remember and what to forget, making it easier to be true to oneself. From being a mother to lessons learnt from our own mothers; managing money to managing marriage; coping with pain and anger to taking ownership of our health and growing old, Kaveree Bamzai, first woman Editor of one of India’s largest news magazine- India Today, a wife, and mother of two boys and two dogs, tells us how to live a guilt-free life, with a little help from a host of highly accomplished women.
Talking about her latest book, Kaveree Bamzai said,
This book taught me to respect mothers more than I ever did. No Regrets wouldn't have been possible without the generosity of the amazing women who shared their life stories with me. Their experiences will resonate not just with mothers but all women. In my professional career, I have come across several incidences where women don't voice their opinions or suggestions and will be an underdog. However, the narrative can be seen going under a change steadily.
Filmmaker Farah Khan Kunder also shared witty narratives of her life, from being a women choreographer to having triplets through IVF. She further added,
It is very important for a woman to work even after all the responsibilities she handles at home. I firmly believe that kids respect their mother's time more when they know they’re working and don’t take them for granted. It offers the kid freedom as well as a sense of responsibility. Also, one needs to remember to create memories for theirchildren, don’t buy them things.
Diya Kar, Publisher at HarperCollins India, added,
‘We are very proud to publish this funny, honest, wise book about being a woman. Kaveree Bamzai and her trailblazers remind us what an incredible tribe we are. This is a book that should be read by all women—and men who have women in their lives.’

A graduate of Delhi School of Economics and a wholehearted supporter of good causes ranging from Save the Children to Committee on Women's Empowerment, she now presides over a chaotic household while managing her career as a professional writer.
