Book Description
It is the story of my past. It is the story of my life. And most of all, it is the story of our friendship, the friendship under Jambhul tree. If you happen to eat these sweet-sour, dark violet fruits of the Jambhul, they stain your tongue, they stain your mouth, they stain your hands, they stain your clothes forever, and they are difficult to remove like the stains of our friendship, the stains imparted on our souls. Raju lives in the impoverished surrounding of a chawl in then laid-back town of Pune along with his friends Kishor and Bandu. While their childhood is anything but fun, only occasionally, they have to suffer at the hands of a local bully Kalu. As they grow up, Raju is drawn towards Sweety, the daughter of Subhash who is no less a person controlling the local mob. Kishor’s daredevilry makes him stand tall against one and all. Only Bandu is on the right track, studying hard to come out of poverty. But the dice of destiny throw them on a whirlwind journey. Will they succeed in their aspirations? This story is not just about the coming of age of these boys but is also a depiction of the crumbling moral structure of the post-independence Indian society.

Sacred Plants of India
Author: Nanditha Krishna
Publisher: Penguin UK
ISBN: 9351186911
Category : Literary Collections
Languages : en
Pages : 385
Book Description
Plants personify the divine— The Rig Veda (X.97) Trees and plants have long been held sacred to communities the world over. In India, we have a whole variety of flora that feature in our myths, our epics, our rituals, our worship and our daily life. There is the pipal, under which the Buddha meditated on the path to enlightenment; the banyan, in whose branches hide spirits; the ashoka, in a grove of which Sita sheltered when she was Ravana’s prisoner; the tulsi, without which no Hindu house is considered complete; the bilva, with whose leaves it is possible to inadvertently worship Shiva. Before temples were constructed, trees were open-air shrines sheltering the deity, and many were symbolic of the Buddha himself. Sacred Plants of India systematically lays out the sociocultural roots of the various plants found in the Indian subcontinent, while also asserting their ecological importance to our survival. Informative, thought-provoking and meticulously researched, this book draws on mythology and botany and the ancient religious traditions of India to assemble a detailed and fascinating account of India’s flora.
