Ashtavakra Gita - The Heart of Awareness
The Ashtavakra Gita, or the Ashtavakra Samhita as it is sometimes called, is a very ancient Sanskrit text. Nothing seems to be known about the author, though tradition ascribes it to the sage Ashtavakra; hence the name. There is little doubt though that it is very old, probably dating back to the days of the classic Vedanta period. The Sanskrit style and the doctrine expressed would seem to warrant this assessment. The work was known, appreciated and quoted by Ramakrishna and his disciple Vivekananda, as well as by Ramana Maharshi, while Radhakrishnan always refers to it with great respect. Apart from that the work speaks for itself. It presents the traditional teachings of Advaita Vedanta...
THE SILENT SHOT
Kabir, Madhav, and Lieutenant Colonel Arjun are childhood friends. Lieutenant Colonel Arjun finds an issue with the new assault rifles the army wants to introduce: RMcar. He gets injured by terrorists in an encounter due to the rifle and wants to present a solid case to the higher authorities to stop the RMcar arms deal from going through. Kabir is behind this deal and wants it to happen because a huge incentive is attached to it. After an unfortunate incident, Kabir realizes that the deal should be stopped, but he finds himself helpless. Madhav, who has worked with politicians, comes to know about RMcar. Kabir and Arjun try to convince Madhav to aid them in stopping this deal. Madhav is adamant that he will not help Arjun and Kabir. Can they come together and stop this deal from happening? Does the army use these weapons and face more causality?
Unanticipated Gains
While social capital theorists have studied the consequences of having effective social networks, few have examined why some people have better networks than others. This book argues that the answer lies less in people's deliberate "networking" than in the institutional conditions of the churches, colleges, firms, gyms, and other organizations in which they routinely participate.
The Twin Trail
The Twin Trail is a story about the interwoven lives of two ordinary men, Aldrik Clausen and Leon who take birth in the city of Berlin at the brink of World War II.

Remote Control
What do the TV shows we’re watching tell us about ourselves? Television is the single most powerful and dynamic agent of change in India today. It is also the country’s most popular and accessible form of entertainment. Remote Control examines three kinds of programming—24x7 news, soap operas and reality shows—that have changed Indian television forever, and analyzes how these three genres, while drawing on different sources, are hybridized, indigenized and manage to ultimately project a distinctively Indian identity. Shoma Munshi’s book shows us how everyday reality in India in the twenty-first century shapes television; and how television, in turn, shapes us.
