Women of Influence
Women of Influence a compilation of the work of a few women who have walked that extra mile and made a difference despite major pressures in governance. Most of the books in the public space are autobiographies of men narrating how important they were and the important people they interacted with daily while in service. Rajni Sekhri Sibal narrates stories that have been untold - about the work of ten strong and effective women who left an impact. Having worked in the civil services for thirty-seven years, Rajni has seen things at close quarters. This book is a collection of narratives that provide an insight into some episodes where the protagonist displayed immense courage and commitment. These stories span different generations-the oldest is set at the Bikaner border during the Indo-Pak war and the latest about the UP sand mafia in 2015. The subjects and geographies are different, ranging from a panchayat election in Punjab during the height of militancy in the 80s to Naxal prone Chanderpur in Maharashtra to the Perumon tragedy in Kerala and right across to the orchid plantations in Arunachal.
Clouds End and Beyond
Sensitive, thought-provoking and sometimes haunting, poems in this collection often have a misty, fragrant and dream-like quality. They present a charming journey through the years the author had spent in the pristine environs of the Himalayas amongst pine trees and clouds at Mussoorie; as well as the subsequent years negotiating the harsh concrete maze of New Delhi. The elegant words written in the hills evoke a sense of innocence and freshness that comes from living close to nature. The collection winds itself towards more hostile terrain depicting a world where the realm of emotions is of little consequence. Yet, there is an underlying hope, a sense of optimism and a feeling of positivity that binds the poetry.The verses transport you to a special moment in time and place evoking a range of emotions and strike an indelible chord.
Fragrant Words
Fragrant Words is a lyrical illustration of life from the poet's perspective. It is a medley of verses: some soft and gentle, others heady and strong, while still others evoke the aroma of a memory long forgotten... Like the vivid strokes of a painter the anthology displays the various colours on a poet's palette – the black, the white and the mesmerizing hues and shades in between. A little like life...
Asariri
A few days after Nisha loses her best friend, her father, she meets Asariri on a hilltop covered in daisies and irises in the Himalayas. Asariri befriends Nisha, a young single mother, who has lost her husband and father within a span of two years. Asariri is a bit of a poet and provides meaning to Nisha's life. Drawing upon all that is rational and profound, Asariri helps Nisha reconcile with death and accompanies her in her quest to understand all that matters to a rational person in a global world – happiness, life choices, dreams and success, balance in life and nature and peace and serenity – and all that needs to be comprehended to live a 'life full of life'. Asariri is a disembodied voice with access to a mystic ancient pool of infinite wisdom. A poignantly written story-moving, rich in character and deeply emotional.
