Peanuts (Slices of Life)
Peanuts are a metaphor for crunchy real-life incidents-tempting, irresistible, and sometimes unpalatable. The incidents narrated have their breeding ground in a small town, Bhopal, in Madhya Pradesh. The book is a compilation of slices of the lives of a small coterie of some government employees, and their families living lives up to the fullest; very grounded parents only aspire to inculcate good values among their kids; the growing up of middle-class children in well- knit-families-their day to day happenings in schools-colleges, with their friends and friends' parents. This bowl of peanuts is about three things-life, life, and life.
Island of the Lost Pilot
The book is about a young man, Rohan, a trainee pilot, who is sent abroad for training. He is trapped by drug mafia and the adventure starts.His father moves for his rescue and he too is trapped. The story is full of so many twists and surprises that it will not be fair to disclose any part or outline of the story, as it will mar the thrill of reading the book. The story includes everything from a crime plot, mystery, hijacking, air-crashes, skullduggery, detective work, suspense, thrill, mathematical deductions, adventure and a beautifully ended story. It will be surprising to know that the lost pilot mentioned here is not Rohan but some one else.

It is of interest to students and scholars of South and South East Asian Studies, as well as Comparative Politics.
