Echoes
In ‘Echoes’, the author explores the eddies and backwaters and torrents in the current of life. She tries to stay at whatever moment in its course and arrives at its complete significance. If she portrays tragedy, it is not only an occasion for some outburst of grief but also a source from which she gathers strength. And out of defeat, she weaves the experience into the fabric of character and imbues its resignation with new thought and resolve for other ventures. In each poem there is a situation as it reveals the soul of the protagonist. She prefers to study the inner landscape. The inner man, the psyche of the individual. The poems in ‘Echoes’ unravel the intricate tangle of human motives, moods, emotions and thoughts.

Walking Shadows is a saga of two professionals who gave the best years of their lives to their professions, and finally gave their passion their best after retirement. This is a legacy which they wish to bequeath to their readers, the essence of which will continue to breathe forever and ever.

Indian Architectural Theory and Practice
In this ground-breaking study the traditional Indian science of architecture and house-building,Vastu Vidya, is explored in terms of its secular uses, at the levels of both theory and contemporary practice. Vastu Vidya is treated as constituting a coherent and complete architectural programme, still of great relevance today. Chakrabarti draws on an impressive amount of textual material, much of it only available in Sanskrit, and presents several extremely valuable illustrations in support of the theories expounded. Each chapter deals with one architectural aspect, and chapters are divided into three sections. For each aspect, the first section explains the prescriptions of the traditional texts; the second section deals with the rather arbitrary use of that aspect by contemporary Indian architects trained in the western manner but striving to relate to Indian roots; while the last section in each chapter explores the selected use of that particular aspect by contemporary Vastu pundits, with their disregard for architectural idiom.
Delhi Metropolitan
My understanding of this ferocious, restless, relentless metropolis is that each of us who lives in this city carries a unique, if virtual, Delhi inside our heads.' Independence, four million refugees from Pakistan and the overwhelming presence of visible and invisible power that flows from New Delhi being the capital have transformed it from the unruffled imperial town it once was to the fearsome metropolis it is today. And yet, says Ranjana Sengupta, this largely unloved city deserves to be loved. Delhi is home to the most diverse population of any city in the country. The unceasing influx of migrants has unleashed new urban architectures of opulence and deprivation. Different groups have ...
