The author had decided to write just one letter to her daughter who had gone abroad but ended up writing many. These letters, originally in Hindi, were published in the Air India’s magazine ‘Swagat’. Numerous travellers on Air India flights read these letters and enjoyed them. They would take the magazines with them to share with their daughters because they felt the letters were priceless and needed to be shared with every parent and daughter for a close read. Publishing these letters in a book was a major social event because the emotions present in this are not limited to just one generation. Our (Indian) customs, rituals, traditions, art of living, and classical teachings are embedded in these letters. New generations can also learn, know, and accept them. With these intentions, this book is a unique communal treasure. While reading these you will certainly experience humanity, love, and feel a connection, but you will also learn how to cultivate a new generation. After the author’s sudden demise in November 2020, her daughter decided to translate the letters into English to fulfill her mother’s wish—that the wisdom and advice contained in the letters reach a wider audience.

- Description:
"‘अहल्या उवाच’ हिंदी की प्रख्यात लेखिका डॉ. मृदुला सिन्हा का अद्यतन ग्रंथ है, जिसमें पुराख्यान की आवृत्ति-मात्र नहीं, आधुनिक प्रश्नों की सहज अभिव्यक्ति लक्षित होती है। प्रातःस्मरणीया पंच कन्याओं में अन्यतम अहल्या के शील एवं सतीत्व का यह आत्मकथात्मक आख्यान तथाकथित नारीवाद के दुराग्रह से मुक्त है। पितृसत्ता के संदर्भ में स्त्री-चित्त के मनोविज्ञान की विश्वसनीय प्रस्तुति इसकी विशेषता है, किंतु यहाँ आधुनिक स्त्री-विमर्श की यांत्रिकता एवं गतानुगतिकता के स्थान पर भारतीय संस्कृति में संप्राप्त शिव-शक्ति के अर्द्धनारीश्वरत्व की मान्यता प्रतिष्ठापित की गई है। ‘उपन्यास’ एक पश्चिमी काव्यरूप है, किंतु यह ग्रंथ भारत की उस परंपरागत औपन्यासिक अवधारणा की प्रतीति कराता है, जिसे मृदुलाजी ‘सीता पुनि बोली’, ‘विजयिनी’, ‘परितप्त लंकेश्वरी’ आदि में उदाहृत कर चुकी हैं। ‘उवाच’ शब्द के द्वारा वे भारत के ‘कथा-कोविदों’ की शैली का ही स्मरण दिलाती हैं। वर्णन-क्रम में लोकसंस्कृति के उपादानों के विनियोग से भी इस तथ्य का सत्यापन होता है। आचार्य कुंतक ने प्रबंधगत कथा-विन्यास का विश्लेषण करते हुए ‘प्रकरणवक्रता’ और ‘प्रबंधवक्रता’ का उल्लेख किया है। ज्ञातकथा में नवीन प्रसंगों की उद्भावना तथा मूल इतिवृत्त की अभिनव व्यंजना में उक्त वक्रोक्ति-भेदों की पहचान की जा सकती है। मृदुलाजी ने चिराचरित कथा को संशोधित करते हुए उसे नई दिशाओं में मोड़ा है। पुरावृत्त और आधुनिकता के संग्रथन में उनकी कारयित्री प्रतिभा की सक्रियता देखी जा सकती है। ‘मिथक’ के नवीकरण की यह प्रक्रिया ‘अहल्या उवाच’ की मौलिकता का निर्धारण करती है। यह उपन्यास रामकथा को एक नव्य आयाम प्रदान करता है। मिथिलांचल की अहल्या के समग्र जीवनवृत्त पर केंद्रित इस कृति की परिणति युवाशक्ति के प्रतीक राम के युगांतकारी कर्तृत्व में दृष्टिगत होती है, किंतु मातृशक्ति की महिमा और नई मर्यादा के संस्थापन की यह कथा समाज की प्रस्तरीभूत चेतना के उस अभ्युत्थान का बोध कराती है, जिसके नियामक राम हैं, जो स्वभावतः अहल्या की चारित्रिक चमक एवं पात्रता से अभिभूत हैं। इस दृष्टि से यह रचना राम और अहल्या, दोनों का महत्त्व-मंडन करती है। महीयसी मृदुलाजी की रचनाधर्मिता की यह गौतमी धारा न केवल उनकी अजस्र संवेदनशीलता और लोक-संस्कृति का साक्षात्कार कराती है, अपितु क्षत-विक्षत जीवन-मूल्यों के युग में भारतीय जीवनादर्शों के प्रति आकर्षण भी उत्पन्न करती है। —प्रो. प्रमोद कुमार सिंह (सेवानिवृत्त)

- Description:
जीवन-पथ पर चलते हुए कितने लोग, कितनी स्थितियाँ, विविध प्रसंग, विविध रसों का रसास्वादन, भिन्न-भिन्न शहरों और निर्जन स्थलों पर अनेकानेक भावों के संवाद और स्वरों के गान सुनने को मिलते हैं। वहीं विरोधाभाषी स्पर्शों की अनुभूति भी होती है। कुछ स्पर्श ऐसे, जो कोमल और कठोर, कुछ भी हों, भुलाए नहीं भूलते। कुछ प्रसंगों को हम दूसरों को बार-बार सुनाते हैं। उसमें हर बार कुछ-न-कुछ नवीनता जुड़ती जाती है। पर मूल प्रसंग तो वही रहता है। प्रसिद्ध साहित्यकार स्व. मृदुला सिन्हाजी के दायित्व का तकाजा घुमक्कड़ी था; वे पिछले चालीस वर्षों में देश-विदेश घूमती ही रहीं। अतीव संवेदनशील होने के कारण अपनी अनुभूतियों को सँजो लेती थीं। उनकी लेखनी और कोरे कागज उनके जीवन-संगी थे ही। ट्रेन में हों या प्लेन में, प्रसंग उनके मानस से उतरकर कोरे कागज को भरते रहे। इन लेखों में व्यक्तिगत, पारिवारिक, सामाजिक, प्रादेशिक और समाज में स्थित राष्ट्रीय एकता की पहचान संबंधित आलेख भी आ गए। सुदूर अंडमान निकोबार में कोई घटना घटी, उसकी रिपोर्ट ‘दुनिया मेरे आगे’ में छपने के बाद कश्मीर के लोगों को भी अपने आसपास की घटना लगी। तभी तो सब ओर के पाठक उल्लसित होते रहे और इन लेखों की लोकप्रियता लेखिका के लिए समाज के गुण-दोषों, रिश्ते-नातों के विभिन्न तासीर के आकलन का एक माध्यम बन गई। इन लेखों में मनुष्य जीवन ही नहीं, पशु-पक्षी, पेड़-पौधे सभी की कहानियाँ हैं। अपने आकार-प्रकार में भले ही ये आलेख बहुत बड़े नहीं हैं, फिर भी इनकी गहराई और गंभीरता से इनकार नहीं किया जा सकता। हास्य-व्यंग्य है तो सोचने के लिए विवश करनेवाले प्रसंग भी। विश्वास है कि अब एक सूत्र में गूँथकर हर मौसम में खिलनेवाले विभिन्न सुगंधों और रंगों के फूलों से बना अनुभूतियों का गुच्छा पाठकों को अवश्य आनंद देगा।
An Odyssey Through The Dark

- Description:
A flourishing career, a passionate love affair and a lasting friendship come in the way of an unforgiving disaster. What ensues is a desperate attempt to hold onto the pieces that are falling apart. The pandemic not just ravaged the lives of millions of people but also bolstered the feelings of love, friendship and brotherhood in its wake. When the world was collapsing under COVID-19, a group of youngsters was busy salvaging humanity. While the Delhiites were adrift on the second wave, the heroic efforts of Rahul, a small-town boy, and Aditi, a gorgeous, affluent and qualified doctor with a benevolent heart, together with the support of the district administration’s office proved that not all heroes wear capes. But are these heroes ready to pay the price for providing succour to others? Will they be magnanimous enough to let go of their own dreams, aspirations and even their life as they devote their time and resources to provide relief to strangers? Will their love tide over the unforgiving disaster that has gripped the world?

- Author Name:
Bluekraft Digital Foundation
- Book Type:

- Description:
Dr. B.R. Ambedkar's influence has overarching impact on the making of Modern India. However, his legacy was sidelined and subjected to institutional neglect. The book is a prism that reflects upon the multitude of contributions of Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar in the nation building process. Many of his ideas and interventions continue to define our governance paradigm, especially with PM Narendra Modi at the helm ensuring that his legacy is revived. The book studies the points of intersection of India’s development story under Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the ideals of Babasaheb. It also highlights the striking parallels between the two towering personalities that succeeded against all odds and worked to dismantle stifling social structures that they themselves experienced from close quarters.
