The River of Liquid Gold
The book deals with the evolution of the petroleum industry in Assam. The story revolves around a young engineer Williams McLloyds, who arrives at Digboi in 1925. Williams is witness to the changing times and also of Digboi, as his professional career ascends to a great height. But it’s not the lone story of Williams either.

The Braided River
The Brahmaputra is by some margin the largest river in India. After its confluence with the Ganga in Bangladesh, it becomes the largest in Asia. In The Braided River, journalist Samrat Choudhury sets out to follow its braided course from the edge of Tibet where it enters India down to where it meets the Ganga at a spot marked by the biggest red light district in Bangladesh. Along the way, he meets suspicious Indian spies, gets packed off on the back of a cement truck by soldiers, visit a shelter home for baby rhino and elephant orphans in Kaziranga, and hops from river island to riverside town meeting the locals. The tales of these encounters spice up a story that weaves in the history of the emergence of the border between India and China in Arunachal Pradesh, the formation of the Assamese identity -- a matter of great contemporary relevance owing to the National Register of Citizens and the Citizenship (Amendment) Act -- and the ecological challenges posed by proposed dams. This is a genre-bending book that touches upon several hot-button issues -- environmental, military and political -- as it blends travel, memoir and history with the present.
How to Tell the Story of an Insurgency
A former militant is unable to reconcile his tranquil domesticity with his brutal past. A mother walks an emotional tightrope, for her two sons -- a police officer and an underground rebel -- fight on opposite sides of the Assam insurgency. A deaf and mute child who sells locally brewed alcohol ventures into dangerous territory through his interaction with members of the local militant outfit. How to Tell the Story of an Insurgency is an unflinching account of a war India has been fighting in the margins. Written originally in Assamese, Bodo and English, the fifteen stories in this book attempt to humanize the longstanding, bloody conflict that the rest of India knows of only through facts and figures or reports in newspapers and on television channels.
The Consciousness Game
There are secrets shrouded by willful ignorance of mankind to learn the codes that model the laws of Nature. And then there is an "Inner Voice" which strives to demystify these secrets lying in open and within. Consciousness is the soul of the soul, the immortal within the mortals, the greatest secret of God's creation and the ultimate quest of spirituality. We understand Consciousness as the "Inner Voice", forever guiding but seldom acknowledged. It took an autistic mind to understand the presence of this superpower in him that began a Game of Karma and Coincidences in which Consciousness evolves by self-realization, attained by unworldly experiences, to uncover secrets after secrets during its journey through five human bodies leading to the ultimate mystery of "God"
