- Description: अपने प्रति उसके निश्चल प्रेम और अद्भुत उत्साह को देखकर, मेरा मन बेकाबू हो उठा था। एक पल को लगा, जैसे सारी दुनिया थम गई हो और मैं बस उठकर उसे अपनी बाहों में भर लूँ, उसे अपने हृदय से लगा लूँ। लेकिन आसपास रेस्तरां में उमड़ रही लोगों की भीड़, उनकी फुसफुसाहट और उनकी चंचल निगाहें... इन सबने मेरे दिल की उस तीव्र भावना को वहीं, मेरे सीने में ही दबा दिया। मैंने अपनी भावनाओं को संयमित किया और अपने चेहरे पर एक गहरी, सच्ची मुस्कान सजा ली। मेरी आँखों में उसके प्रति असीम प्रेम और कृतज्ञता का भाव भर आया, जो उसके अनमोल प्यार के लिए मेरा मौन आभार व्यक्त कर रहा था। (इसी उपन्यास में से………….) सच की ज़िंदगी जीना कठिन हो सकता है, लेकिन झूठ की ज़िंदगी जीना सबसे कठिन है। सच और झूठ के बीच झूलती हुई एक अविश्वसनीय और मार्मिक कहानी।

- Description: 'ऐसा होता तो नहीं' एक ऐसा उपन्यास है जिसके विषय में ऐसा कहा जा सकता है कि 'ऐसा होता तो नहीं' ! फिर भी ऐसा होता है। इस उपन्यास को लिखते समय हर पल इस बात का ध्यान रखा गया है कि पढ़ते समय पाठकों को यह पूरी तरह सत्य ही लगे। हालांकि इससे जुड़ी सभी घटनाएं या दुर्घटनाएं सच हैं, लेकिन इन सबके पश्चात भी यह उपन्यास काल्पनिक है। बहुत ही रोचक, मार्मिक, हृदयस्पर्शी तथा रोमांटिक उपन्यास ! इसे आप एक बार पढ़ना शुरू करते हैं, तो फिर पूरी तरह से पढ़े बिना छोड़ने का मन नहीं करता है। काश ! ऐसा नहीं होता !

- Description: Raghuvar Prasad teaches Mathematics at a local college. He lives in a one-room rental eight miles away from his place of work. He travels to work by jitney, cramming into whatever space is left by other passengers, milk cans, winter blankets and vegetable baskets. The mode of transportation is unreliable; jitneys won't stop for him when they are full. A sadhu atop an elephant befriends him, offering him a ride to the college on his elephant. The Head of the Mathematics Department suggests that Raghuvar Prasad borrow the bicycle which seems to have been abandoned on the college verandah. Raghuvar Prasad tries these variations and wonders whether he shouldn't move closer to the college to save on travel costs. He has just been married. The day his wife Sonsi, arrives in town to begin their domestic life together, Raghuvar Prasad happens to come home mounted on an elephant. She imagines elephants are part of Raghuvar Prasad's usual lifestyle. Vinod Kumar Shukla's apparently slight novel reaches into the depths of feeling Raghuvar Prasad and Sonsi have for one another and for the world of lower-middle-class neighbours among whom they belong. Their possessions are meagre: the single room barely accommodates their bed, the water pot, the kitchen utensils and the tin box in which Sonsi keeps her precious things. But there is a magical place beyond the window that sustains Raghuvar Prasad's and Sonsi's spirit. This window lived in a wall.

- Description: For as long as Nalli can remember, the guardians of her village of Angheri, the hills that have so often come alive in her grandfather’s stories have been asking her to do something with her life… Twelve-year-old Nalli is restless to pursue a dream rather unusual for a girl in her traditional society: she wants to be a doctor. After all, how else will she stand by Jai – her friend and hero- when he returns as a qualified surgeon to start Angheri’s very own hospital? Adamantly resisting all the objections her family raises, Nalli travels to Madreas and then to London to study, and experiences a world she had never imagined. She learns to keep her voice down and sit with her knees together, is haunted by Subbu, the first human cadaver she cuts up, and encounters complicated medical cases that test her faith in the values Appa taught her to live by and her own skills as a surgeon. Yet, for all her adventures, Nalli yearns constantly for a sight of Angheri’s hills, for Ajja’s gods and Appa’s advice, and, most of all, for the hospital of her dreams to become a reality. But her return home is fraught with heartbreak and disillution, and Nalli sets of again, this time for remote Keshavganj, in search of solace and the fulfilment of her heart’s desire…. Sensitive and humorous, graceful and invariably engaging, Kavery Nambisan’s latest novel tells the story of a young surgeon coming to terms with the untidiness of life and her profession.

When a determined young woman in Panjim sets out to unite ‘the world’s largest minority’, the ripples are felt in the lives of thousands across the country: crusty career women, complacent housewives, angst-ridden teenagers, and of course, men who had never conceived of a world where women ruled. Leading the battle from the front are a bunch of passionate, straight-talking women: Fierce, man-hating Lividia; politically savvy Kripa; gutsy police officer Tara; the sultry Rani of Kantipur; and their unlikely motivator: twenty-year-old Evita, scarred by childhood memories of her mother's sexual encounters and fiercely committed to the Cause. As the women come together quietly, relentlessly, from all over the country, the rest of the world can only watch in stupefied silence. Will they win their war for justice? Or will fate—and man—intervene yet again?

- Description: An exciting new novel from the best-selling author of The Scent of Pepper. Shari’s life has always been controlled by others—a domineering mother, a too-perfect sister and a kind but passive father have seen to it that her choices are shaped more by the demands of social propriety than by her own will. Inevitably, she finds herself agreeing to marry the man of their choice. But tormented by the ghosts of the past and increasingly uncertain about her decision to marry, she flees to her brother’s house in Vrindaban a few weeks before the wedding—much to the shock and dismay of her mother. Even as she gets drawn into the busy and entirely unpredictable lives of her brother and sister-in-law, both doctors, Shari grapples with her memories: her relationship with Naren, her blind friend, and the traumatic discovery of the truth about Uncle and Aunt Paru whom she had always considered her surrogate parents. And as she makes peace with her past, she finds in herself the strength to confront her own future. Richly textured and boldly perceptive, Mango-Coloured Fish is the heartwarming story of a young woman’s attempt to strike out on her own.
