Anatomy of a Tumour
The patient is Sudhansu Mohanty, an Indian civil servant in his early fifties; his scourge is the carcinoid tumour which, unknown to him, he has been carrying around for some time Mohanty’s introduction to this ‘scourge’ was gradual - starting with an almost-continuous fatigue, followed by intermittentdiarrhoea, a loss of appetite, enhanced perspiring, especially while eating, and a wasting away of muscles. He ignored them all, he lived in denial. Before he knew it, he was overtaken by nemesis in the form of a sharp drop in his haemoglobin. The cause is carcinoid - a rare form of cancer, rare in terms of appearance, hard to detect in its nascent stages, and, therefore, all the more dea...
Sheru
The Mohantys were beginning a new phase of their life in a new city when they stumbled upon Sheru, a frisky pup with a pure heart and beguiling looks. Little did they know that this stray would end up becoming not only a part of their household but also a loving family member! Sudhansu Mohanty, who has authored several books, paints a rich portrait of their adopted dog’s remarkable journey filled with moments of camaraderie, affection, and pure entertainment. The book poignantly captures the blessings and heartbreaks of what it means to share an unbreakable and ineffable bond with a dog. Adding to the mirth and poignancy is Sheru’s Tale—his inner thoughts and feelings captured in ‘his’ own words. Playful and moving at the same time, Sheru: A Story of a Loving Dog is a book that no dog-lover will be able to put down." "The Buddha and the Bitch is an inspiring, autobiographical story of a unique friendship between two women from different cultures, generations and world views, presenting two different approaches to life and art.
Odisha of My Times
Odisha of my times is a faithful rendition in English of Mo Samayara Odisha, published in Odia in 1978 by the eminent historian and archaeologist, Dr. Krishna Chandra Panigrahi. It is more than an autobiography. In it is mirrored not only the author’s story of growing up amid adversity and his struggle up the academic echelon, it also is the pen-picture of the prevalent socio-cultural and academic world of Odisha of fifty years (1920s to late-1970s). Honest, candid, forthright, even at times unsparing, it is a no-holds-barred portrayal of the shenanigans and nepotism that the author experienced and of the contemporary times. The frank and guileless views expressed in the Odia book endeared the readers to the book that ran into multiple editions, apart from receiving the Odisha Sahitya Academy award in 1978. The author was conferred the fourth highest civilian award Padma Shri from the Republic of India in 1976 for his contribution in the field of literature and education.
