Kuari Pass Trek

The Kuari Pass Trek is a popular trek in the state of Uttarakhand, India and is probably the best window to view the high Himalayan peaks. The views are simply breathtaking. Facing north, the vision sweeps from the gorges of Trishul in the east to the peaks of Kedarnath in the west—the Kedarnath, Chaukhamba, Nilkantha, Kamet, Gauri Parbat, Hathi Parbat, Nandadevi, Bethartoli, Dunagiri (all 6000 m or 7000 m high peaks)—all lined one after the other in a magnificent arc. Southwards, the foothills stretch to the haze of the distant plains. The area is dotted with remote villages, providing a good insight into local life. The purpose of this book is to present a kaleidoscope of the Kuari Pass Trek experienced in the October 2013. Hopefully, this will encourage more people to undertake such activities in Uttarakhand—a haven for adventure sports. A boost to ecofriendly tourism in this area will go a long way in rebuilding the lives of the people of Uttarakhand, who face severe hardships in the wake of the devastations of 2013.

Natal Fault

"In the monsoons of 2012, a phantasm driven geriatrician, Dr. Suchitra Nigam, is all set to open her dream venture: Rajshree Varma Memorial Foundation, a holistic healthcare for the geriatrics. She then encounters several irregularities plaguing the medical and social scene in the country. She is further intrigued when a nonagenarian from Singapore persistently lays claims to an ardent affair withered by a deadly war, seventy years back. Was he another geriatric with clouded coherence and unfounded delusions? A heart -rending tale of love, separation, dejection, violence, compassion and corruption! A gripping story which narrates the saga of two saviours-the doctors, the soldiers and the common man. Natal Fault is an irresistible socio-political narrative. It is bold and beautiful; romantic and philosophical; contemporary and classic at the same time. It feels the pulse of the nation and scales a long span of Indian panorama, both contemporary and classic, as it flows and fizzes out from a drab B class fictional Indian town of Jeerulot, through a war ravaged planet to a posh Singapore."
