In 1980s India, the Ramsay Brothers and other filmmakers produced a wave of horror movies about soul-sucking witches, knife-wielding psychopaths, and dark-caped vampires. Seeing Things is about the sudden cuts, botched makeup effects, continuity errors, and celluloid damage found in these movies. Kartik Nair reads such "failures" as clues to the conditions in which the films were made, censored, and seen, offering a view from below of the world's largest film culture. By combining close analysis with extensive archival research and original interviews, Seeing Things reveals the spectral materialities informing the genre's haunted houses, grotesque bodies, and graphic violence.

In Until the Lions, Karthika Nair retells the Mahabharata through multiple voices. Her poems capture the epic through the lenses of nameless soldiers, outcast warriors and handmaidens but also abducted princesses, tribal queens and a gender-shifting god. As peripheral figures and silent catalysts take centre stage, we get a glimpse of lives and stories buried beneath the edifices of god and nation, heroes and victory; a glimpse of the price paid for myth and history--all too often interchangeable.

Management cases are an inseparable part of any Business School class. Cases help students understand complex business situations, apply theoretical knowledge and learn to articulate their opinions before any audience. The cases can be valuable to both students and instructors alike because one learns better when actively engaged. Tedious theoretical concepts are retained longer and understood better when they are applied to real life situations and discussed in classrooms extensively. These deliberations have an inherent benefit of honing their convincing and negotiation skills and developing communication capabilities. Case discussions and presentations also develop team building and inter-personal skills. This book contains narrations of various business scenarios which require critical thinking and strategic decision making. They begin with the central problem and go on as an interesting story, culminating at a point which requires responses from its readers. They may talk of a fundamental business issue but are narrated in a suspenseful, stylised and exciting context. This book is aimed at management students, scholars and executives working in the corporate.
The book is a differentiated biography of former Indian skipper M S Dhoni that celebrates the total journey of the individual as a cricketer through various assorted articles that have been meticulously curated by the author. The author further draws marketing parallels in this book as he compares to Dhoni with a brand that has an inspiring and engaging story to tell and that needs to be shared. Although there are a number of biographies on Dhoni in the market, this book is very different in its approach and treatment and it surely reflects the unputdownable fan spirit of the author for the man who is the cynosure of this book. A truly interesting read for anyone who loves the game of cricket and has been mesmerized by Dhoni's aura time and again on and off the field.
