Letting Go
There are many truths one confides to a diary that one would not confess to oneself. Our narrator and MS are caught in a functional but unhappy marriage. Although both are practising doctors, the diagnosis of MS's cancer is delayed due to avoidable causes. When she realises that she will now have to give him constant care, his past neglect of her creates a conflict that she tries to work her way out of. The diary becomes a record of her own struggle for equilibrium and that of MS's to stay alive. What unfolds is an extraordinary, vibrant tale of vulnerability and grit, founded in the day-to-day reality of life in Delhi. There is the narrator, brutally honest, even if flawed at times, and the circle of relatives and friends, including an intriguing, worldly-wise former lover, but at the heart of it is her husband, MS, holding on to his normal routines even though a wreck himself. In the end, quiet and reclusive, he achieves a heroic stature in this unforgettable portrait of married life and survival that will resonate with a vast number of readers.

Khushwant Singh's Joke Book 9
"I can do no better than reproduce the introduction I have written for my 9th Joke Book. It says all I want to say about my being an inveterate Joker. "I was 94 when Joke Book 8 was published I was sure that it would be the last of the series. I was on a diet of pills and in poor health. But here I am 97 years old and here is Joke Book 9 (Orient Paperbacks). Laughter is evidently the elixir of life, the best tonic in the world to ensure a long and happy life.

The Afternoon Girl
A delightful memoir that recounts the relationship between one of the most enigmatic and notorious authors in India and his mentee A brief encounter between a young gynaecologist and aspiring writer, and one of the most celebrated and enigmatic authors of her time sows the seeds for an unusual friendship which is fuelled as much by their meetings over a few dacades as the letters and ribald jokes they exchange. Afternoon Girl celebrates a friendship that swings between love and loathing, adoration and indifference, support and abandonment, but stood the test of time and circumstances. It looks back on a world where nurturing a friendship took much more effort than putting fingers to screen or keyboard, she shares with him her most intimate secrets, he writes to her about his preoccupation with growing old and possibly infirm. With disarming honesty, the book builds and busts a few myths, and offers unexpected insights into Khushwant Singh: good- and sometimes ill-humoured mentor, garrulous yet grumply friend and saintly but outspoken old man.
