Own It
#NotAllMen are the problem. #NotAllWomen are victims. But there's enough of both to warrant this book. Most women today are opting for careers over jobs, even if it requires them to play multiple roles with superhuman abilities. Meanwhile, men, at home and at work, struggle to come to terms with their changing priorities. And therein lies the chasm between male expectations and female ambition. As Dame Julia Walsh says in the television miniseries The Honourable Woman, 'In a room full of pussies, I'm the only one with a vagina.' Own It tells women's stories: the ugly, the happy, the rarely discussed, the unacknowledged, the whispered, the denied. Close to two hundred Indian women leaders acr...
Sood Family Cook Book
A cookbook with a difference, with unique recipes and the memories behind a diverse and global family of 56 people The Sood Family Cookbook began its journey as a three-ring binder shared among some seventy members of the Sood family and their close friends. As friends of friends and new members of the family began to demand more copies, this second version was created, with more recipes, each beautifully illustrated. Within these pages are 101 unique recipes gathered from the collective memories of the Sood family, which came down from the mountains of Simla to New Delhi three generations ago. Some of them moved away to places as far removed as Toronto and Perth, while others brought home partners from New York and Boston. And so, pahaadi, Bengali, Italian, Thai, Swiss and other global stylings, all come together here to make a delicious potpourri food when you are sick and want to be pampered, food that is healthy without making you feel martyred, chutneys with oomph and some grogs that the Sood family has created and imbibed over the years. This is a book for every family, and for every young adult leaving home for college or to set up their own home anywhere in the world.
THE UNTOLD STORIES
This book is a collection of short stories of fourteen women who have worked in the field of science and technology. This book narrates their professional journeys and celebrates their success, while also highlighting certain gender biases faced by them. I have often heard this remark inadvertently made by males, in general, while driving on the road, “No wonder it’s a woman driver.” This has always sparked a question in my mind – Are professions stereotyped? Are there professions marked as “Only for men.” Though we are living in the twenty-first century and see a plethora of women being successful and soaring to heights, yet I wonder if gender bias still exists in our society. A...

The Caravan
The country's first and only publication devoted to narrative journalism, The Caravan occupies a singular position among Indian magazines. It is a new kind of magazine for a new kind of reader, one who demands both style and substance. Since its relaunch in January 2010, the magazine has earned a reputation as one of the country's most sophisticated publications-a showcase for the region's finest writers and a distinctive blend of rigorous reporting, incisive criticism and commentary, stunning photo essays, and gripping new fiction and poetry. Its commitment to great storytelling has earned it the respect of readers from around the world. "India's best English language magazine", The Guardian, London "For those with an interest in India, it has become an absolute must-read", The New Republic, Washington The Caravan fills a niche in the Indian media that has remained vacant for far too long, catering to the intellectually curious and aesthetically refined reader, who seeks a magazine of exceptional quality.
Dealing in Desire
"This fascinating ethnography examines one segment of Vietnam's diverse sex industry. Between 2006 and 2010, author Kimberly Kay Hoang was employed at four exclusive Saigon hostess bars catering to high-end clientele: wealthy Asian businessmen, Western expatriates and tourists, local Vietnamese men, and Viet Kieus (ethnic Vietnamese living abroad). Using participant observation and in-depth interviews with the sex workers, bar owners, managers, and mostly rich clients at all four locations, Hoang argues that Vietnam's high-end sex industry is much more than a byproduct of globalization--it's an integral component of the country's free-market capitalism, including its emergence as a regional ...
VIRIAH
Slavery was abolished in the British empire in 1835. The demand for sugar was exploding with people consuming increasing amounts of sugar in chooclates, tea and sweets. To fuel the growing first-world sugar industry of the late 1800s, 1.3 million Indians were shipped to labor on sugarcane plantations in Mauritius, South Africa, Caribbean, Fiji and Reunion. The indenture system was not too different from slavery. Coolies labored from dawn to dusk, day after day, year after year in inhuman working and living conditions. This book is about the search for my great grandfather and the story of Indian Indenture.
The Caravan
Aadhaar was originally pitched as a way to eliminate identity fraud in the delivery of public benefits. Today, its application far exceeds that purpose. Nandan Nilekani, the technology billionaire who was the prime mover behind Aadhaar, has said that “data has become the new oil,” and that “if we canrestructure data to benefit every individual and every business, then we can lead to enormous amount of activity and economic growth.” He has also said, “In the West, the identity business was privatised. That’s a much more unsafe model than when a government issues an ID.” But while Aadhaar is presented as a way to mobilise Indians’ data for the public good, the lines between tho...
