K.K.Nair +1
- Book Type:
- Description: Agnisakshi (meaning, With Fire As Witness) is a Malayalam novel written by Lalithambika Antharjanam. Originally serialised in Mathrubhumi Illustrated Weekly, it was published as a book by Current Books in 1976. It tells the story of a Nambudiri woman, who is drawn into the struggle for social and political emancipation but cannot easily shake off the chains of tradition that bind her. The novel was concerned with implied criticism of aspects of social structure and behaviour. Thethikutty (Devaki or Sumitarananda) is married to Unni Nambudiri of the well-known Brahmin family named Manampilly Illam. He is young, virtuous, and loving but too orthodox to be the husband of a woman with Thethikutty's views. Feeling frustrated, Thethikutty leaves him once and forever and reaches her paternal home. Unni lives the life of a piety, is branded as an eccentric and dies. Thethikutty, meanwhile, finds no peace anywhere. At last, in the Himalayas, she meets her old friend and Unni's half-sister, the sixty-year-old Mrs K.M.K. Nair (Thankam). She finds her unborn son in Mrs. Nair's son and hands over her wedding pendant to her daughter with the request to cherish it with due regard.

Neelima
- Author Name:
Gopal Singh 'Nepali'
- Book Type:
- Description: प्रकृति और मानवता, ये दो बिन्दु गोपाल सिंह नेपाली के कवि-मन की स्थायी धुरी रहे हैं—एक तरफ प्रकृति में निहित असीम सौन्दर्य और सम्भावनाएँ, दूसरी तरफ पराधीनता, विषमता, शोषण और अभावों के बीच डूबती-उतराती-हाँफती मनुष्यता। उनकी कविताओं में ये दोनों ही सरोकार प्रबल रूप में अपनी उपस्थिति जताते हैं। ‘नीलिमा’ में संग्रहीत कविताओं में ये दोनों भाव देखे जा सकते हैं। ‘गगन भी नील नयन भी नील’ इस संग्रह की पहली कविता है। इस कविता में आई तुलनात्मक भावधारा को नेपाली जी अपने लिए किंचित नई एवं भिन्न मानस-क्षितिज की वस्तु मानते थे। कविता के छात्रों और सर्जकों के लिए आज भी उनकी कविताएँ इसलिए प्रासंगिक और पठनीय हैं कि जीवन और मन के हर भाव को कविता में व्यक्त करने का सतत प्रयास उनके यहाँ दिखता है, और यह सिर्फ वर्णन नहीं है, विचार, दृष्टि और अनुभूति को एक जगह जोड़ता छन्द-बद्ध काव्य है। ‘तारों की रात’, ‘संध्या गान’, ‘प्रभातगान’, ‘धार पर जले लहर के दीप’ आदि अनेक कविताएँ हैं जो प्रकृति को देखने के लिए हमें एक विशेष दृष्टि देती हैं, वहीं ‘कवि’ शीर्षक गीत में वे मनुष्य संसार से प्राप्त भावनाओं को भी व्यक्त करते हैं जग को दुख है, जग रोता है/कुछ पाता है, सब खोता है युग-ईश्वर की बलि-वेदी पर/जग बार-बार बलि होता है ; मैं जग के दुख में शामिल हूँ इन आँखों में जलधार लिये।
Death: An Inside Story
- Author Name:
Sadhguru
- Book Type:
- Description: Death is a taboo in most societies in the world. But what if we have got this completely wrong?

In this unique treatise-like exposition, Sadhguru dwells extensively upon his inner experience as he expounds on the more profound aspects of death that are rarely spoken about. From a practical standpoint, he elaborates on what preparations one can make for one’s death, how best we can assist someone who is dying and how we can continue to support their journey even after death. Whether a believer or not, a devotee or an agnostic, an accomplished seeker or a simpleton, this is truly a book for all those who shall die!
