Book Description
Cricket Odyssey is a skilfully executed, lovingly constructed, book: a literary celebration of over a century-and-a-half of cricket. It has narrative and character study blended in a dexterously refined, yet readable form. It not only manages to pervade the essential of the essentials of some of cricket’s greatest players — from Dr W G Grace to Steve Waugh; from Sir Don Bradman, Sachin Tendulkar to Rahul Dravid; from Sir Learie Constantine and Sir Gary Sobers to Jacques Kallis; from Ray Lindwall to Wasim Akram; and, from Clarrie Grimmett to Anil Kumble and Muttiah Muralitharan — but, it also brings to life a classy and effulgent cricketing collage. More than a lively, encapsulated grandeur of individual brilliance, or cricketing chemistry, of each player epitomised in its canvas, Cricket Odyssey explores not only the many-resplendent delights of cricket, but it also delineates a deftly woven work of art — of the game’s scientific foundation, art and grammar, and its players’ phenomenal exploits, acts of courage, grandeur, and ‘shortfall.’ A journey through nostalgia, and a living monument to a living philosophy, it is, in sum, a ‘must-read’ and ‘must-keep’ book for all avid cricket fans across the globe.

Book Description
Odyssey is a reflective introspection and an honest endeavour to introduce the readers to the simple and beautiful life of the Northeast and its people who cheerfully struggle to defeat hardships and adapt to make life meaningful and happy by remaining as true sentinels of humanity and nature. While there is an incessant rush of people to get settled in or near big cities to find easier lives, almost all tribal communities of remote border villages still stick to their native soil and withstand hardship and deprivation. The attachment to their village on the national border, generation after generation, gives our border a special significance. It is an immense blessing to be enlightened by experiencing the life in the faraway villages of Nagaland and Manipur from very near for quite a long time. In one way, this helps one shun misconceptions about people who continue to stay away from the so-called mainland. I hope that when people realise how beautiful the Northeast is, they will make efforts to visit. The state will then be motivated to reach the remote areas to ensure the betterment of the people there. The sense of courtesy in people, their agility, the landscape, hills, rivers, streams, greenery and everything else are simply mesmerising and inspiring. The environment itself in the Northeast embraces all with its indescribable charm.

It relives India's forgotten triumph in the 1985 World Championship in Australia. It depicts how Sachin Tendulkar inspired Yuvraj Singh to perform at his best in India's successful campaign in the 2011 World Cup.

Book Description
WINNER OF THE FOOTBALL BOOK OF THE YEAR AT THE BRITISH SPORTS BOOK AWARDS The story of the immense struggle to qualify for the World Cup, Thirty-One Nil roams from American Samoa to Zambia in a remarkable and insightful journey that gets under the skin of world football. In a tiny, decaying aluminium smelting town in southern Tajikistan, a short drive from a raging war zone, Afghanistan take on Palestine in the first Asian qualifier for the World Cup. Every player on both teams is risking something by playing: their careers, their families, even their lives. Yet, along with thousands of other footballers backed by millions of supporters, they all dream of snatching one of the precious 32 places at the finals; and so begins a three-year epic struggle – long before the usual suspects start their higher-profile qualifying campaigns under the spotlight. Named after the greatest victory (and defeat) that the World Cup qualifiers have ever seen (Australia's 31-0 victory over American Samoa), Thirty-One Nil is the story of how footballers from all corners of the globe begin their journey chasing a place at the 2014 World Cup Finals. It celebrates the part-time priests, princes and hopeless chancers who dream of making it to Brazil, in defiance of the staggering odds stacked against them. It tells the story of teams who have struggled for their very existence through political and social turmoil, from which they will very occasionally emerge into international stardom. From the endlessly humiliated San Marino to lowly Haiti; from war-torn Lebanon to the oppressed and fleet-footed players of Eritrea, in Thirty-One Nil James Montague gets intimately and often dangerously close to some of the world's most extraordinary teams, and tells their exceptional stories.
