Chronicling Calcutta
Did you know that Kolkata has the country’s largest library? The city gave India its first printing press. The first foreign-recognised educational institution was also in Kolkata. The first lift (a squirrel cage one) was inaugurated in the city of joy. A large number of Nobel-nominated people and institutions are also from Kolkata. It’s not just the Oriental connection which people link with Kolkata, it has stories of many religions, cultures, stalwarts, freedom struggle, education, architecture, nationalism, literature, sports, science, revolts and languages. This has attracted many, insiders as well as outsiders, to the city. As an outsider to the city, the history bug caught the author as soon as he landed in Kolkata. The weekend habit of discovering the city has resulted in this novel where the author cherry-picks 21 places in and around Kolkata. He expects incremental awareness and eagerness towards these facets of history in particular and a sense of respect for all-historical elements of this great city in general.
The Housing Loan Puzzle
The Indian housing sector has experienced significant growth and has played a pivotal role in the economic development of India. Despite facing the challenges posed by the global housing bubble, the Indian housing sector was able to attract foreign investment and make substantial contributions to the country's overall GDP. This book specifically focuses on the recent developments and practices within the Indian housing sector. Banks have shifted their focus to becoming more customer centric. As such, this book analyses both the customer satisfaction and banker's perspective on various aspects of housing, such as residential property valuation, base rates, pre-closure, and housing insurance. It provides a comprehensive overview of valuation methods, the housing loan process, and recovery practices. This book is particularly useful for research scholars and academics who seek to gain a deeper understanding of the present Indian housing sector.

The World of Hrishikesh Mukherjee
One of India’s best-loved film directors, Hrishikesh Mukherjee is perhaps best known today for his perennially popular creations like Anand, Chupke Chupke and Gol Maal. But Hrishi-da’s best work was provocative, wide-ranging and always aware of the complexities of people and their relationships. Often combining breezy narratives with serious ideas, his films created a distinct world with recurring themes. Jai Arjun Singh looks closely at Hrishikesh Mukherjee’s oeuvre, from well-known films like Satyakam, Guddi, Abhimaan and Khubsoorat to lesser known works such as Mem-Didi, Biwi aur Makaan and Anuradha. Combining a fan’s passion with a critic’s rigour, The World of Hrishikesh Mukherjee is a must-read for anyone who takes their filmed entertainment seriously.
Innovation
Close to 150 years after he was born, how relevant is Mahatma Gandhi? In our country, he is revered as the Father of the Nation; his face still adorns currency notes, postage stamps and government offices; streets and welfare schemes continue to be named after him but has he been reduced to a mere symbol? Do his values, message and sacrifice have any meaning for us in the twenty-first century? In Why Gandhi Still Matters, the Mahatma's grandson and award-winning writer and scholar Rajmohan Gandhi, appraises Gandhi and his legacy by examining some of his most famous (and often most controversial) ideas, beliefs, actions, successes and failures. He analyses Gandhi's commitment to democracy, se...

Devil Does Care
The Devil lies in the Details. When the Details are missed, the Devil comes out. It is the same with your marketing budget.
