The Lost Fragrance
A little girl has to avenge the death of her parents. She must travel to the neither-here-nor-there land, a secret place hidden in shadows and whispers. The voyage turns out to be more than she bargained for, as the final battle draws her into the mystery and the dangers of self-discovery. The Lost Fragrance brings back the old-world charm of storytelling, conjuring up characters out of thin air and creating a world of magic and mystery. It is an adventure story woven around the eternal theme of good and evil. It is about the joy of music and love, of death and of letting go.
Lessons from Ruslana
Ruslana was the face of a Nina Ricci perfume. With her striking features, she took the fashion world by storm and quickly became the toast of the glitterati. But who was she really, and why did she look so unhappy? No one would know until, one day, they discovered that she was just another lost and lonely girl. With Ruslana's tragic world as the centrepiece of this motivational masterclass, Amit Dasgupta explores why we do what we do. Drawing inspiration from a wide range of sources, such as, John Berger, Viktor Frankl, Akira Kurosawa, Zen Buddhism and many others, he takes the reader on an inspirational journey, unravelling the mystery behind the one question that haunts us: why am I unhappy, why do I fail, will I ever matter?
Indian by Choice
Indian by Choice tackles the complex theme of identity; it is a journey of self-discovery through the myriad human relationships that help us see things in perspective and in context. Written in the form of a graphic novel, it tells the story of Mandy, a second generation Indian, born and brought up in Chicago. He is as American as they come-hot dogs, French Fries, baseball and the love of all things American, especially blonde. He is, of course, no different from his clones who are in several other parts of the world-England and Australia, the Netherlands and Canada. They blend with their surroundings by assimilating the culture of their adopted home and denying their Indian roots and herit...

Why You Must Know This Man
It is 1981. Delhi summer. A small office. Three “hungry” minds brainstorming launch strategy of a product. They have been doing this for the past 3 months, 12 hours a day. The office is HCL and the product is Systems-2 computers. What they are about to launch will kick start the Indian computer story, and which will be known as the “inflection point” of the Indian IT Industry. This book is the tale of that “inflection point,” and told through the life of that third “hungry” mind who together with Arjun Malhotra and Shiv Nadar was one of the stimulators of computer revolution in the country, a visionary who remained in the background and silently scripted the Indian IT story into a global epic—Amit Dutta Gupta.
