On Wings of Butterflies
Imagine a world where women can do what they please, the way they please, and men be damned! When a determined young woman in Panjim sets out to unite 'the world's largest minority', the ripples are felt in the lives of thousands across the country: crusty career women, complacent housewives, angst-ridden teenagers, and of course, men who had never conceived of a world where women ruled! Leading the battle from the front are a bunch of passionate, straight-talking women: Fierce, man-hating Lividia; politically savvy Kripa; gutsy police officer Tara; the sultry Rani of Kantipur; and their unlikely motivator: twenty-year-old Evita, scarred by childhood memories of her mother's sexual encounters and fiercely committed to the Cause. As the women come together quietly, relentlessly, from all over the country, the rest of the world can only watch in stupefied silence. Will they win their war for justice? Or will fate--and man--intervene yet again? From the best-selling author of Scent of Pepper
A Town Like Ours
Guts and Glory profiles twenty entrepreneurs who have conquered limitations and obstacles to write their stories of success. In the beginning was just an idea. Gutsy and driven by the will to succeed, they aspired to shun the limitations of working in cushy corporate jobs and confront the challenges of the unknown by plunging into entrepreneurship. Where will we generate the finances from? How will we deal with disappointment and disillusionment? Such questions and apprehensions didn't have the power to demotivate these entrepreneurs as they moved out of their comfort zones to start out on their own and chase their dreams. They run businesses ranging from apparel and FM radio to beer cafés ...
Mango-Coloured Fish
An exciting new novel from the best-selling author of The Scent of Pepper Shari’s life has always been controlled by others—a domineering mother, a too-perfect sister and a kind but passive father have seen to it that her choices are shaped more by the demands of social propriety than by her own will. Inevitably, she finds herself agreeing to marry the man of their choice. But tormented by the ghosts of the past and increasingly uncertain about her decision to marry, she flees to her brother’s house in Vrindaban a few weeks before the wedding—much to the shock and dismay of her mother. Even as she gets drawn into the busy and entirely unpredictable lives of her brother and sister-in-law, both doctors, Shari grapples with her memories: her relationship with Naren, her blind friend, and the traumatic discovery of the truth about Uncle and Aunt Paru whom she had always considered her surrogate parents. And as she makes peace with her past, she finds in herself the strength to confront her own future. Richly textured and boldly perceptive, Mango-coloured Fish is the heartwarming story of a young woman’s attempt to strike out on her own.
