Sridevi Talkies
About Book : Indulging innocently in primeval adultery and consummate sensuality, the rustic population of Kotta, sandwiched between ancient hills and enchanting backwaters, perpetually trapped in the cinematic illusions of Sreedevi Talkies; their transition to modernity was replete with disillusionments and disasters. In a saga replete with archetypal and mythical lore from Ulysses, Tiresias, Jesus Christ, Ancient Mariner and Kerala's historical tryst with Communism — the novel is a lyrical journey into borderless territories of the unconscious, when ghosts let out by the Talkies endlessly ensnare the rustics on the slippery paths between reality and fantasy.

Shakespeare Meets the Indian Epics
This book demonstrates that people writing and creating characters almost 6,000 miles apart, and in different centuries, have a lot more in common than one might expect. It examines the day-to-day themes appearing in two epics, The Ramayanam and The Maha Bharatham, and some of Shakespeare’s plays (without entering into the realm of philosophy). The book reveals that whatever backgrounds people may have, they ultimately tend to tackle life in very similar ways, and this claim is substantiated with many pertinent examples. The perspectives presented in this book will be of interest to all who study literature.
10 ½ Stories of our Times
Two colleagues constantly chat about cricket, movies and women at work, much to the annoyance of The Mechanical Engineer. An astrologer has a strange visitor one evening, who is in a tearing hurry to know his Tomorrow, Today. The friendship between two housemates is disrupted by An Old Friend, who reconnects after a long time over a social networking site. An ardent Dravidfan is ridiculed by his playmates for his classical batting technique, but is determined to earn their respect. A boy narrates the story of The Lucky Day to the police who have come home to interrogate him. All this and more in 10½ Stories of Our Times. Set against the backdrop of an increasingly liberated, empowered and connected world, these hard-hitting stories bring to light the shifting paradigms of modern India, eager to break free from the warp of established conventions and traditional mindsets. The classic tales in this collection are full of drama and suspense. Peppered with humor and satire, the stories serve as a compelling commentary on the times we live in. Ten unique stories. Many interesting characters. Many shades of life… And, a half-a-story that will surely raise a few eyebrows.

Sukumara Natana Thathwa
Sukumaara Natana Thathwa, began with random thoughts, observations, reactions, being noted down for me alone, and then, very soon, it took on an existence of its own, dragging me along with it, tightly chained, so that I was pulled back to the subject in spite of the numerous deviations, where I was forced to play various roles, that of a wife, a mother, a teacher, even a performer! In every role I played, I felt insufficient, incomplete, except a few 'moments on stage, that stands out as the sole meaningful events that justify one's existence. It is perhaps these shining moments that has convinced me of the worth of this work. It is also the continuous, eternal search for these same moments, where life is transformed and all conflicts are momentarily resolved, when all seems well and alright in this world, that has led me on, into stage experiments with contents, as well as, stylistics of Mohiniattom, involving in-depth interpretations of characters represented on stage, attempting amalgamations of themes, combining fictions with ancient lore, also trying to bring universal relevance in thematic presentations.
Vignettes Relating to Kathakali and Shakespeare
This book is written for all lovers of the performing arts, especially those who love Kathakali, the dance drama of Kerala, the southern state in India. While other texts have been written about the history of the dance drama in English, this book uniquely brings in Shakespearean plays and characters, comparing them to the stories and characters in Kathakali to give it a completely new perspective.
