Applied Diplomacy
Applied Diplomacy through the Prism of Mythology is a collection of the fine writings of former Ambassador T.P. Sreenivasan, curated from a bunch of riveting essays, commentaries and speeches delivered over the course of the last decade.

Better Half of Diplomacy
In "The Better Half of Diplomacy," the author Lekha recounts her experiences as the wife of an Indian Foreign Service officer, covering 37 years and travels to countries including Japan, Bhutan, the U.S., the Soviet Union, and Fiji. The author presents her experiences in a matter-of-fact and accepting tone, absorbing the unique cultures of each country and admiring the beauty around her. Whether it's the charm of Bhutan, the rudeness of a Soviet woman shopkeeper, or the political turmoil of Fiji, she portrays her experiences with a charming acceptance and wholehearted admiration of anything beautiful, like the artistry of the Bolshoi Ballet or the stunning view of Mount Fuji. This book provides a unique insight into the life of a diplomat's wife.

Words, Words, Words: Adventures in Diplomacy is more than just a memoir. It is diplomatic history, a meticulously recorded account of the variety of bilateral and multilateral diplomatic negotiations in which T.P. Sreenivasan was involved, written in his inimitable style with a touch of humour. It reveals the circumstances that brought India into confrontation with the rest of the Commonwealth on the question of the re-election of Sir Sridath Ramphal, the successful efforts of India during the summits in Havana and in New Delhi to preserve the principles of non-alignment, India's handling of the Iraq crisis as a member of the Security Council, and her role in tempering the reformist zeal of Boutros Ghali's Agenda of Peace'.

He brings out the dynamics, indeed the magic, of multilateralism in his intimate account.
