“The Secret History meets Jennifer’s Body. This brilliant, sharp, weird book skewers the heightened rhetoric of obsessive female friendship in a way I don’t think I've ever seen before. I loved it and I couldn’t put it down.” - Kristen Roupenian, author of You Know You Want This: "Cat Person" and Other Stories The Vegetarian meets Heathers in this darkly funny, seductively strange novel about a lonely graduate student drawn into a clique of rich girls who seem to move and speak as one. "We were just these innocent girls in the night trying to make something beautiful. We nearly died. We very nearly did, didn't we?" Samantha Heather Mackey couldn't be more different from the other m...
This is not just my story or a story of an independent-minded Indian woman called Anuja. The story comprises composite characters, including the first person, made up with combination of lives of some remarkable persons that I have met during so many years. I have used these composite characters to illustrate the theme, that is, the influence of changing circumstances with changing times on an Indian woman’s life, which may not necessarily represent a typical or generalized specimen. Over the centuries, the Indian society has cast a woman in a submissive and self-sacrificing role. On the other hand, men have been accepted as the masters and providers and, perhaps, even if they are susceptible to impropriety, worthy of compassion, and always deserving attention and loyalty from the women. Leading men with authority and writers of scriptures have made such a convenient division! In the changing world, it seems unjust that the abilities and ambitions of women should be constrained in such old fashioned ways. I hope that women in India can try hard to achieve their goals, even if their actions may not comply with traditions.

These pages retell in riveting detail the story of the Pandava Warrior-Prince who has captured the imagination of millions across centuries.

The Novel ANGELICA is different from the previous one, Wings That Spread. Aniket, along with his Spanish wife, comes to India and settles down with his family members. They came out of their comfort zones of happy professional lives and worked tirelessly to uplift the lower class and poor - to bring them up to a normal life. They looked to be successful - when they entered into the lives of Nomadic tribals, who dwelled in the thick forest - and with good intent. Both were aware of all those in ancient times when they shared a common ancestral root. But due to moments arising out of varying doctrines professed by different hamlets, some of them got divided by succession and were alien to each other from the beginning of their lives. Keeping this notion in mind, Jessica mingled with them. Yet, she persistently felt anxious and conscious. Now, the rich, upper class, middle class, and lower class are on a downward trend, this is a sorrowful affair. Money launderers are protected by taxation and many other ways. If all that money was used to uplift the needy people, India would have progressed by this time, using the talent found in individuals from unprivileged castes.
