Infectious diseases are still leading cause of mortality around the world. Of particular importance in this regard are the intracellular pathogens, which dwell inside the host and manipulate host’s machinery for their growth. These include pathogens like Brucella abortus, Listeria monocytogenes, Chlamydia trachomatis, Coxiella burnetii, Mycobacterium tuberculosis, Salmonella enterica, etc. These pathogens have evolved multiple mechanisms to survive in intracellular niche. The host in turn tries to reprogram its activities to combat their growth. This host-pathogen co-evolution warrants detailed study to probe the ever-changing virulence repertoire of the pathogen, that can be used for pathogen targeting. Through this topic, we would like to explore the lesser explored area of host pathogen interactions. Studying host-pathogen crosstalk at their interface will help us in understanding this complex biology and might prove beneficial in development of new therapeutic targets. Understanding the holistics of host-pathogen interaction, will pave way for development of host-directed therapies.
A life, less ordinary made extraordinary by the search for the divinity within. Tracing the journeys of people from varied professions, this is a tale of self-discovery, the science of spirituality and long-lost love while a young scientist comes to terms with his childhood dreams. Join an uplifting narrative crafted by Shashi as he takes you on a journey with the Monk- high on the mountains and in depths of broken hearts.

In the past few decades, climate change has become one of the biggest threats to the Earth’s ecosystem and biodiversity. Several environmental stress factors such as salinity and drought have already threatened the viability of sustainable agriculture, an alarm bell to researchers. Soil salinity hampers development through its effects on the morphological, physiological, and biochemical processes associated with plant growth. Drought, on the other hand, affects the productivity of crops. It is anticipated that by 2050, drought will be the leading cause of hampered crop production due to increases in the magnitude of climate change. These changes present a formidable challenge when it comes...

This book has been written after furnishing a lengthy, resplendent cycle expedition by an Indian army person to fulfil the dream of his master, who after retirement from army service planned to motivate his village’s school-going students by taking them on a cycle trip from Amritsar to Kohima and back. But his physical health in old age did not support him, and he left the world before achieving his dream. However, this army person, who had just two years before his master’s death, had completed his first cycle expedition from Jammu to Kanyakumari alone at his own risk, expense and during his leave. He fulfilled the dream of the departed soul of his master through truthful determination, hard calibre and energetic endeavour and successfully furnished the cycle expedition of 7000 km.
