Geeta Rahman At Championship Point
Geeta Rahman At Championship Point is a moving coming-of-age novel set in 1993 New Delhi, following Geeta Rahman as she chases a dream to become India's biggest badminton star while learning to live with the grief of losing her mother.

Ideal for readers who enjoy character-driven historical fiction, this book speaks to teens and adults who root for resilience, courage, and hope.
Saskya Jain crafts Geeta's world with warmth and clarity, weaving her grueling practice sessions, tense matches, and tender moments with the sweeping changes shaping India. The novel unfolds in accessible, lyrical prose that shifts from the quiet of a family kitchen to the roar of a stadium, using badminton as a metaphor for balance, timing, and perseverance. Through Geeta's eyes, we glimpse a girl who aspires to serve the Government of India, a reminder that personal dreams can be part of a larger national story.

The pacing blends training sequences with intimate scenes of loss and family bonds, offering a vivid sense of place and a portrait of a city in flux.
