A Journey of Life with Divine Blessings
The book, A Journey of Life with Divine Blessings, is an autobiography of Prof. Dr. G.K. Roy, a pioneer teacher, professor and engineer in technology education in Odisha. The biography depicts his life and times, along with his memories and takes on important events in Odisha, India and the global technical space spanning a period of over five decades through the second half of the twentieth century. The book goes beyond the scope of a biography, to a chronicling of events in the building of a technical institute and thus is as much about the author's professional journey as that of the story of the making of technical institution of global repute. An avid traveller the book also offers some personal vignettes on the author's many pilgrimages across India covering almost every major shrine in the Hindu pantheon of religious places.
An Invitation to Death
An Invitation to Death is the gripping story of a serial killer set in contemporary India. Darius Irani, a hyper-intelligent young man, goes on a murderous spree, targeting young, beautiful, urban women, who fall prey to his easy charm, sense of humour and innate madness. Strangely, he does not rape his victims, but the brutalisation is savage-like, indicating a deep hatred for women. The killer manages to evade the cops every single time. As the inevitable cat and mouse game plays out – with a great deal of blood spilling along the way, and climaxing in a devastating reality – the journey reveals the depravity of the human mind, and the way politicians, police and media deal with hard crime in this country.

Transcultural Negotiations of Gender
Transcultural Negotiations of Gender probes into how gender is negotiated along the two axes of ‘belonging’ and ‘longing’– the twin desires of being located within a cultural milieu, while yearning for either what has passed by or what is yet to come. It also probes into the category of ‘transculturality’ itself, by examining how not only does it pertain to the coming together of cultures from diverse spatial locations, but how shifts over time and changing performative modes and technological means of articulation, within what may be presumed to be the same culture, can also lead to the ‘transcultural’. The volume comprises four sections. Part I, ‘(Be)longing in Time’,...

The book’s interdisciplinary chapters advance, both conceptually and ethnograph...
16 Frames
Written over the years, 16 Frames is a collection of 16 critical articles on cinema analyzing the different trends and intertextualising cinema with the other art forms.

As award-winning film critic Shoma A. Chatterji comments – ‘the book reads on, like a river, sometimes placid, sometimes turbulent, flowing through the reader’s mind, through the films one has certainly watched and films one has never seen and is never likely to see.’
