Law of Jiluk 2
"Everything was fine in the company of Subin, Sarath and Gowri – the cricketing rivalry, Sunday feasts, afternoon gupshups, porno fantasy, running after girls down the streets of Wellington, and samosa snacking. But all of a sudden the whole world seemed upside down to Inba. He was no more the same. The cricketer inside him had given the walkover. He no longer had an appetite. He was not all that excited about his friends' world anymore. Even the Kamasutra had no impact on him. At every instant he felt that he was only physically present, but mentally absent. He tried very hard to find only the truth: that he had been lost in her thoughts. It is she who occupied his world in the beginning, and later became his life. Will he ever find out this truth? Welcome to Law of Jiluk 2, sequel to the bestselling Law of Jiluk – Jiluk is the only inspiration. By the way … what is Jiluk? The quest continues… "

This is the classic story of Asya, the wife of a soldier and her encounter with a mysterious figure during her forlorn period which propels this tale. A tale of courage and the essentials necessary for love to be liberating. It says the story of the heart when one is encountered with unexpected possibilities bordering the unbelievable. A look at truth from the point of view from opposite polarities and the journey of Asya into the world of a stranger and her discovery of truth about love.
Stories Of Work, Life & The Balance In Between
" Are you stuck in a job you don’t love? Are you made to do flunky work in office? Do you struggle to balance work and life? Do you want to quit your job and start a business of your own? Do you wonder about the meaning of love and life? If these questions apply to you, then this book is for you. This book is a collection of 10 contemporary short stories based on the corporate world and life in general. Although these stories are a work of fiction, they capture real life situations and dilemmas that I have seen and faced. Each story is aimed to leave the reader with a message. I believe these can help you answer the above questions. If not, I have tried my best to keep the stories as humorous and entertaining as possible."
Dalits, Dynasty & She
"‘Dalits, Dynasty and She’ is a political satire. For the first time in the history of the nation, a Dalit woman leader has captured the seat of power in the most populous and politically most important state. And decades after the independence, the Dalits are feeling hopeful of justice and their empowerment. An old political party, controlled by a powerful dynasty that has ruled the country most of the years since the independence, is facing the charges of massive corruption. A powerful movement against corruption has erupted under an old social-activist, hijacked by his vocal, ambitious upper-caste supporters is spreading over the entire country, taking the political class by surprise....
With Blue Ink Of The Oceans
“Like a matured painter who is very particular in choosing the right and profound colours to draw a masterpiece, Anu has exhibited abundance of talent as a conscious artist in choosing the right words and putting them at the right place in her compositions for effectively creating the magic of lovely poetic creations”- R. K. Das, Director, Rajya Sabha, Parliament of India (‘Of The Lesser Known’) “Anu has good talent, command and control of words and has fruitful imagination. The poetess appears to be a sensitive soul which reminds us of the old saying, ‘the heart has its own reasons that the head cannot understand”- Dr. Alexander Jacod, I.P.S (‘When My Heart Speaks”) Anu Jo...
Come Rhyme With Me
Written in simple rhyme, the poems touch upon emotions, nature and imaginative situations. Other styles of poetry also have a place in the book: Acrostic, Rictameter, Haiku and Onomatopoeia. The first letter of each new line when put together forms a word/name. This is Acrostic; but the poet has also written the poem in rhyme. In Rictameter style, the poem has a diamond shaped look, as it is written in a certain number of syllables per line, in ascending and descending orders. Haiku poetry is a thought or a scene expressed in just three lines. Onomatopoeia is a poem in which sounds are expressed in words. The Songs section includes a patriotic poem, Jai Hind My India, and three children's poems, Lullaby, A Child's Song and My Little Airplane. This book of poems is sure to keep the reader enthralled.
The Editor
"When twenty-five-year-old Judith Jones began working as a secretary at Doubleday's newly opened Paris office in 1949, she was tasked with wading through manuscripts in the slush pile until one caught her eye. She read the book in one sitting, then begged her boss to consider publishing it. A year later, Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl became a bestseller. ... Over more than half a century as an editor at Knopf, Jones became a legend, nurturing future literary icons such as Sylvia Plath, Anne Tyler, and John Updike. At the forefront of the cookbook revolution, she published the who's who of food writing: Edna Lewis, M.F.K. Fisher, Claudia Roden, Madhur Jaffrey, James Beard, and, most famously, Julia Child. ... Now, her astonishing career is explored for the first time. Based on exclusive interviews, never-before-seen personal papers, and years of research, The Editor tells the riveting behind-the-scenes narrative of how stories are made, finally bringing to light the audacious life of one of our most influential tastemakers"--
The Great Derangement
Are we deranged? The acclaimed Indian novelist Amitav Ghosh argues that future generations may well think so. How else to explain our imaginative failure in the face of global warming? In his first major book of nonfiction since In an Antique Land, Ghosh examines our inability—at the level of literature, history, and politics—to grasp the scale and violence of climate change. The extreme nature of today’s climate events, Ghosh asserts, make them peculiarly resistant to contemporary modes of thinking and imagining. This is particularly true of serious literary fiction: hundred-year storms and freakish tornadoes simply feel too improbable for the novel; they are automatically consigned t...
Gunshot Victims Unit
"Culture was untouchable. Their mixing would, and had in the past, proved to be extremely detrimental to peace and quiet.' A world in which people have no regional affiliations. Where culture itself has gone mobile. Where the President, the man with the most power, has little to do but swim and play golf. Where ordinary people like Gru and Ronan care little about where they come from and where they are headed – and this whole system is balanced on just two simple laws. In this dystopian world, the only equalising factor is gunshots. Will the Gunshot Victims Unit, the last line of defence, be enough?"
99% Perspiration
An enlightening and entertaining interrogation of the myth of American self-reliance and the idea of hard work as destiny “Genius is one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration.” This phrase, arguably Thomas Edison’s most famous quote, has been drilled into the minds of generations of Americans. A fairly straightforward iteration of the idea that innovation, discovery, and ingenuity are the result of drive and grit above all, it has also come to represent much darker myths: that hard work always leads to success and that achievement is the product of individuals and not communities. In this model, those who come out on top are there because they earned it, and everyone...
