Kavita stares at the red-lettered sign, carving into her memory the illegible markings that promise Shanti, peace.


I came across an Indian word Shanti, does it mean peace in English?

Yes, the word shanti means peace in Sanskrit. According to what i could find, it most often appears in prayers and hymns, in much the same way that "amen" is used in English.

@Setanta,
Set is right on.

In this context, it more clearly means peace of mind.
