Tsunami Housing and Problems
The entire world was shocked when the giant waves of tsunami struck on 2004 along the coastal areas of India, and the countries of the east. The loss and havoc it created was irreparable and irreversible for years and the scar it has made will never fade from the land as well as the hearts of people. The giant waves washed away all that they could swallow along the seashores. Even huge skyscrapers were no exceptions. Nature was at its ferocious state that moment sparing none who came in front of it. Aid from all over the world came flowing to help the victims in terms of food, clothing, basic needs, relief, rehabilitation and finally for counseling the ones who lost their dear ones and their belongings. Many international agencies came forward to provide housing for them. This book analyses the housing and living conditions of post tsunami in families in two villages – Mela Manakudy and Keela Manakudy of Kanyakumari district in Tamilnadu.

The Sun Was Always There
This is a work of fiction, definitely, with its surreal plot and the over imaginative emotional turmoil depicted at length, sometimes overdone, overcooked and burnt in the process eventually. Only that it isn't. It is true around the edges and a pure depiction of what really ensued over those years, of the innocent childhood, pain and pleasure of Youth, the years of abundant enriching experiences, upheavals , agony and hope always shining over the Horizon. This story is not about Sadness, it is more skewed towards Courage and Determination to survive in the face of unexpected adversities, in the most literal terms. But even in abject darkness finally the Light comes through, slowly but surel...
Calcutta
Calcutta: Two Years in the City is an exceptionally written and extremely insightful personal history of one of the least known - but greatest - cities of our time by one of our leading novelists. Having been born in Calcutta but brought up in Bombay and England, Amit Chaudhuri moves back to the city as an adult with his wife and daughter. But what does 'move back' mean when you've only lived there as a child? At once an insider, yet also a kind of tourist, Chaudhuri's experience of re-settling in a place so changed by revolution and capitalism is incredibly funny, extremely moving, and provides an accessible entry into a city whose lost history as an erstwhile centre of culture and modernity is suggestively captured with great originality in this account of two and a half years in Chaudhuri's life.
