- Description: Widowed professor Sundaravadivelu rebuilds his life with the beautiful Maragadham. Yet, their new beginning is overshadowed by the recent loss of his son. Through the innocent eyes of his lively, young daughter, Kunjamma, we see the tragic past begin to resurface. A spilled cup of milk ignites a chilling display, while seemingly ordinary scenes from the past reveal unsettling glimpses into the family dynamic. Can Sundaravadivelu and his family find a way to heal and rebuild their lives in the face of such a loss? Translated splendidly into English by Subash Jeyan, this simple, yet poignant story is a remarkable piece of psychological realism.This revised edition is being published under the Tamil Literature in English Translation initiative of the TNTB & ESC. Pudumaippittan (C. Viruthachalam) was an influential and revolutionary writer of Tamil fiction. Though his pungent social satire, progressive thinking and outspoken criticism of accepted conventions irked many contemporary writers and critics, he is widely accepted as a doyen of Tamil Literature. In 2002, the Government of Tamil Nadu nationalised his works.

Mera kuchh samaan

Gulzar
- Book Type:

Description:
बहुत छोटी-छोटी बातें होती हैं—रोटी, तवा, धुआँ, पट्टी, कोहरा या पानी की एक बूँद। लेकिन, उनके बड़ेपन की तरफ़ कोई हमें ले जाता है, तो हम अनायास ही एक ताल से ऊपर उठ जाते हैं, नितान्त निर्मल होते हुए। गुलज़ार की शायरी इसी निर्मलता की तलाश की एक शीश जान पड़ती है। वे बहुत मामूली चीज़ों में बहुत ख़ास तरह से अभिव्यक्त होते हैं। उदासी, ख़ुशी या मिलन-बिछोह अथवा बचपन...। लगभग सभी नितान्त निजी इन स्पर्शों को वे शब्दों के ज़रिए मन से मन में स्थानान्तरित करने की क्षमता रखते हैं।
एक विशेष प्रकार की सूमनियत के बावजूद ये विराग में जाकर अपना उत्कर्ष पाते हैं। इसलिए उदास भी होते हैं तो अगरबत्ती की तरह ताकि जलें तो भी एक ख़ुशबू दे सकें औरों के लिए।
गुलज़ार की यह सारी मौलिकता और अपनापन इसलिए भी और-और महत्त्वपूर्ण जान पड़ती है क्योंकि वे अपनी संवेदनशीलता और शब्द फ़िल्मों में लेकर आए हैं।
बेशुमार दौलत और शोहरत की व्यावसायिक चकाचौंध में जहाँ लोकप्रियता का अपना पैमाना है, वहाँ साहित्य की संवेदनात्मक, मार्मिक तथा मानव हृदय से जुड़े हर्ष-विषाद की जैसी काव्यात्मक अभिव्यक्ति गुलज़ार के हाथों हुई, वह अपने आप में एक अद्वितीयता का प्रतीक बन गई है।

- Book Type:
- Description: It all began with the fall of a meteorite and the crater it made. In its centre was a red notebook, sticking out of the ground—the first (or was it really the last?) of Professor Shonku’s diaries. Professor Trilokeshwar Shonku, eccentric genius and scientist, disappeared without a trace after he shot off into space in a rocket from his backyard in Giridih, accompanied by his loyal but not-too-intelligent servant Prahlad, his cat Newton, and Bidhushekhar, his robot with an attitude. What has become of the professor? Has he decided to stay on in Mars, his original destination? Or has he found his way to some other planet and is living there with strange companions? His last diary tells an incredible story . . . Other diaries unearthed from his abandoned laboratory reveal stranger and even more exciting adventures involving a ferocious sadhu, a revengeful mummy and a mad scientist in Norway who turns famous men into six-inch statues. Exciting, imaginative and funny, the stories in this collection capture the sheer magic of Ray’s lucid language, elegant style, graphic descriptions and absurd humour. The indomitable Professor Shonku has returned, to win himself over a whole new band of followers!
