Mega City - Expect The Unexpected
Sr. Inspector of Mumbai Police Vikram Joglekar, has resolved to investigate the supposed suicide of a rich diamond merchant, but first he must peel off every layer of an intricate web of deceit. Assisted by his trusted aide Ayub Khan, they are exposed to an even larger and sinister conspiracy which could bring down the country’s ethos of democracy. At each step Vikram needs to out think the masterminds, more dangerous than murderers, but with a conscience which believes what they are doing is ‘right’. Does he meet his match in the powerful mastermind, in this cat and mouse game?
Revolutionary Desires
Revolutionary Desires examines the lives and subjectivities of militant-nationalist and communist women in India from the late 1920s, shortly after the communist movement took root, to the 1960s, when it fractured. This close study demonstrates how India's revolutionary women shaped a new female – and in some cases feminist – political subject in the twentieth century, in collaboration and contestation with Indian nationalist, liberal-feminist, and European left-wing models of womenhood. Through a wide range of writings by, and about, revolutionary and communist women, including memoirs, autobiographies, novels, party documents, and interviews, Ania Loomba traces the experiences of these women, showing how they were constrained by, but also how they questioned, the gendered norms of Indian political culture. A collection of carefully restored photographs is dispersed throughout the book, helping to evoke the texture of these women’s political experiences, both public and private. Revolutionary Desires is an original and important intervention into a neglected area of leftist and feminist politics in India by a major voice in feminist studies.

Imagine
India offers the western traveller an assault on all senses. Presenting these impressions in images gathered over the years, this striking, colourful and virtually text-free book refuses to draw academic correlations between images. Rather than offering a false completeness of one idea of India, this original collection rejects cliched images of graceful Indian women and saddhus sunk in meditation wearing colourful garments, which have come to typify the Western conception of contemporary Indian art and life. With over 75 full-colour and b/w illustrations.
Shoes and Skies
Presenting a brand new collection of more than 200 poems that generously engage with various poetic devices. A must-have collection for readers who want to flirt with the classical 'old world' charm of poetry that is also firmly anchored in fresh breaths of contemporary themes. The author paints vivid, ambient, and emotional landscapes with words, stitching fantastical narratives that catch you off guard. A poem on pressure cookers? Eggs, paperweights, pistachios, bears speaking French, a rat dating a nightingale, chickens entering the disco? These and several such surreal metaphors creatively explore grander concerns that also embody acute observations of human life and deeper layers of our collective psyche. Dollops of wit, romance, humor, hope, and satire have been lavishly scattered throughout the book, highlighting different shades of many elucidated topics. To summarize, this book is enamored with rich, intricately layered imagery and ideas in writing that probe a multitude of dimensions while maintaining affinity to the literary quality of its works.
