TRANSPLANTED From 110 Degrees in the Shade to 10 Degrees Below Zero in the Sun
My memoir named Transplanted, from 110° F in the Shade to 10° F in the Sun, recounts my experiences as a young doctor of 23 years old who left the South Indian tropical town, Thiruananthapuram, and got dropped into a ten degrees frigid Chicago winter forty-eight hours later. Despite the strange foods I had to adjust to, the strange clothes that I needed to survive the cold, and even the strangeness of the English language (which I had hitherto believed I was well versed in,) I was able to mold my life and likes, and establish myself as a successful pathologist, a dedicated wife, strong yet kind and loving mother and grandmother, and now a Matriarch to an extended family of fifty two in Chi...
Radha
On an idyllic afternoon in the breathtakingly beautiful Kovalam beach, among the waving coconut palms, rhythms of the ocean waves and hot afternoon sun, two young medical students, Radha, a young girl raised in the strictest Hindu traditions, and Danny, a Christian boy, fall in love. In this classical story, we follow their lives intertwine and separate, their dreams blossom and wither, and as pawns in the game of fate they land back on the same shores of the ocean to experience their ultimate destiny. Radha's story is unique, and promises to evoke tender smiles, laughter and tears, anger and indignation, and above all, hope, despite all ups and downs. As we journey along, we experience the exotic, wonderful and extraordinary lives of this duo set in India and in the United States of America as only one who has lived in both worlds can tell. A physician herself, the author brings an authentic voice to the medical details, while keeping our hearts and minds sympathetic to Radha's personal needs and dreams, leaving us rooting for Radha's happiness.

Samskara
Made into a powerful, award-winning film in 1970, this important Kannada novel of the sixties has received widespread acclaim from both critics and general readers since its first publication in 1965. As a religious novel about a decaying brahmin colony in the south Indian village of Karnataka, Samskara serves as an allegory rich in realistic detail, a contemporary reworking of ancient Hindu themes and myths, and a serious, poetic study of a religious man living in a community of priests gone to seed. A death which stands as the central event in the plot brings in its wake a plague, many more deaths, live questions with only dead answers, moral chaos, and the rebirth of one man. The volume provides a useful glossary of Hindu myths, customs, Indian names, flora, and other terms. Notes and an afterword enhance the self-contained, faithful, and yet readable translation.
