Book Details
“You shouldn’t trouble black ants, Kuhu. They are god’s little ants,” says Kuhu’s mother, as she stops her from catching a plump, wiggly black ant. If this really is god’s little ant, Kuhu thinks, then it should lead her to where god lives? And so begins little Kuhu’s sprightly search for the answer, as she starts to tail the ant to the most unlikely of god’s homes.

Haathiyon Ki Toli
- Author Name:
Varun Grover +1
- Rating:
- Book Type:
- Description: हाथियों की टोली में जो बूढ़ा हाथी होता है सबसे पीछे चलता है और गहरी यादें ढोता है। Haathiyon ki Toli is an illustrated poem book written by the National Award winning writer-lyricist, Varun Grover. The poem captures the essence of life and relationships through keen observations on elephants’ way of life. We are all bound by the thread of love. This thread is most visible in childhood, in those carefree moments lived in the protection of adults. The thread strengthens as we grow older yet it’s presence loses its significance for us. This poem reassures children of the love that surrounds them while it reminds adults to take notice of this bond that gives us freedom to be ourselves. Gunjan Bharati's illustrations give us a feeling as if we are looking at an elephant up close. We can look into its big, deep eyes and feel what he is saying. His wrinkles are the folds of experiences, if only we caress them.
Aranya Aadim
- Author Name:
Tarun Kanti Mishra
- Book Type:
- Description: इस संकलन में प्रसिद्ध ओडि़या साहित्यकार तरुणकांति मिश्र की कुल उन्नीस कहानियाँ शामिल हैं। चार से भी अधिक दशक के दौरान अलग-अलग कालखंडों में अलग-अलग मनःस्थितियों में लिखी गई ये उनकी चुनिंदा कहानियाँ हैं। इसमें लेखक के किशोरवय से जीवन के अब तक के पड़ाव की रचनाएँ संकलित हैं, जिनमें कोमल उम्र के नम्र अनुभव, यौवन के कई रंग और जीवन के अपराह्न का विमर्श निहित है। आशा और निराशा, स्वप्न और स्वप्नभंग, प्रेम और प्रेमहीनता, मृत्यु और निर्वाण, इन सबके भीतर चमक रहा है जीवन का विस्तृत रूप। तरुणकांति को असामान्य कहानी का स्रष्टा कहा जाता है। इस संकलन में संकलित हरेक कहानी इसका प्रमाण है। बहुत व्यापक है उनके गल्प की परिधि। कहानियों का जो पक्ष पाठकों को ज्यादा स्पर्श करता है, वह है चरित्रों की अंतर्मुखी अभिव्यक्ति। उनका कथ्य-वर्णन, रूप कल्प, परिवेश, यहाँ तक कि आकाश-पृथ्वी का दर्पण एक ही तत्त्व का संधान करते हैं, और वह है अंतराभिमुखी। जीवन का तिलिस्म, वास्तविकता, रहस्यमयता और जिजीविषा का निष्ठुर-निर्मम सत्य इन कहानियों में प्रस्फुटित है। पर इन सबसे ऊपर है, उनकी इनसान को प्रेम करने की भाषा। अपनी इसी सूक्ष्म दृष्टि और संवेदना के चलते समकालीन लेखकों के बीच वह अलग से नजर आ जाते हैं।
