Social Entrepreneurs & Change Makers
Most often, the project started with one man, or one woman, and then the idea attracted more volunteers. We have in this book an NGO which got established in 1976 by a Swiss pilot, and one that got established in 2020 in response to the pandemic and the plight of daily wage workers in India. The range of social enterprises presented in this book, are from Europe, India, US and South Africa. What each change maker has in common is that they all acted selflessly, and took the first step to 'do something'. Be it to encourage artisans--to stop terrorism, or to grow rice in farmlands--to combat hunger, or to open up schools in tiger infested deltas--for deprived children. Read the book to discove...
Wanderlust - Travel Stories
Foreword 'Wanderlust--Travel Stories' is our publishing house's first travel stories collection. We consider this project very special since we embarked on this project during the pandemic when borders were still closed, and travelling was highly restricted. It is during this time that many of us started recollecting our travel stories, talking about trips that we had undertaken just a few years before--as if it was a distant memory we dearly wanted to hold on to. That is how we conceptualised this book. We had an open call, one author contacted another author--an ardent traveller, or a blogger, and within a year, we had over fifteen authors penning down their travel memories and exceptional...
She Seeks
She Seeks The stories in She Seeks essentially revolve around how humans have used their minds to navigate a complex world. The mind, in constant interaction with a dynamic environment, is perpetually seeking answers. Sometimes this takes the form of a yearning for or a desire to connect with the past--often termed as nostalgia. The journey down the memory lane can shed a light on a present predicament or a problem or lead to new self-realizations. In other situations, the mind works like a laser beam; honing in on an enigma or mystery with a singular objective of solving it. The mind prescribes what action is required to be taken in times of imminent danger or threats. Such actions can take...
She Achieves
She Achieves is the sixth book of short stories published by 16 women authors of Indian origin worldwide. Hailing from different professional backgrounds, the SHE project's primary goal is to provide a creative platform for women's voices and their reflections on daily lives. None of the authors come from a 'purely literary' background, and yet, as scientists, bankers, academics, engineers, managers and homemakers, they all have a story to share. The books in the SHE series revolve around a specific theme or genre. In the past, the themes have included stories woven around women's voices (She Speaks 2019), Indian festivals (She Celebrates 2020; relaunched in 2021), stories of women belonging...
She Reflects
'She Reflects' is the third in the 'SHE' series of books (She Speaks, She Celebrates)-published as a collaborative project by a group of 22 women, of Indian origin, spread across the world (Australia, India, The Netherlands, Philippines, Singapore, Switzerland, UAE and the USA). There are 43 flash fictions in this book, distributed across three sections roughly based on the age of the protagonist-Ganga (senior), Alakananda (middle-aged), and Bhagirathi (infancy to youth), similar to a river's journey from its origin till it merges into the ocean. In this offering of flash fiction, the reader will find a rich smorgasbord of micro-flash fiction, all told by a female voice, with varied personalities, experiencing different stages of life, under diverse circumstances. As an analogy, a river originates as a stuttering stream from a glacier, gathers momentum, at first tumultuous and overflowing, then gushes unbridled through mountains, and finally gains calm equilibrium as it flows over vast plains. The stages in a river's journey are used as a metaphor in this aptly titled collection, 'She Reflects'.
Emotions in Rhythm
What is poetry, if not a lyrical way of expressing an emotion? A choice of words, which requires a spark, a certain bent of mind, ever sensitive to its surroundings. There are three main kinds of poetry: narrative, dramatic and lyrical. It is not always possible to make a distinction between them. This book is a collection of all the above kinds of poetry written by women of Indian origin, who are not poets by profession. Maybe while cooking dinner, the sunset view outside prompted her to jot down a few words, or during an office meeting, a vagabond snowflake caught her attention, or perhaps it was that fleeting, transient emotion, which had to be expressed. Our poets are business administrators, directors, teachers, scientists, fashion bloggers, home-makers or artists, and in this collection, they have strived to express their emotions in rhythm. Presenting to you 18 poets and their poetries, from Australia, Europe, India, Singapore and the USA.

In Search of Sherpur
In Search for Sherpur: An Immigrant's Memoir By Prof. J.Bhattacharyya, US (Edited by: Dr. T.Ghosh, US) My supposedly one month Christmas vacation to Calcutta became a lifelong homelessness. I was just promoted to Class IX which was in charge of the annual school Saraswati Puja. I had stood first. I had bought my new text books, which, alas, I would never read. The shift to Calcutta was the start of a cascading series of changes. I became distant from Ma. My voice had broken when we were in Bhowanipur, at Dada's in law's house. When Ma came a few months later I was shy to go to her. This was pretty weird: I was the baby boy! There fell a screen of self- consciousness that never lifted. I love...
