Most of the plays give soft and multicoloured dreams to children. They reflect their minor pleasures and pain and their problems. Their strange mischiefs and habits that overshadow their good qualities have also been depicted with great simplicity. Children themselves are a storehouse of creativity and talent. In many plays of this book, there are many lovely and colourful scenes of the children's world. We hope that this collection of new-unique plays will become a friendly collection for children for its wittiness, drama and playfulness. They would stage it in the programmes of schools, societies or in the gatherings by adding their own unique imagination and colourful concepts in their own childlike manner.

Book Description
“In this vulnerable and courageous memoir, Prachi Gupta takes the myth of the exceptional Indian American family to task.”—The Washington Post “I read it in one sitting. Wow. It aims right at the tender spot where racism, sexism, and family dynamics collide, and somehow manages to be both searingly honest and deeply compassionate.”—Celeste Ng, New York Times bestselling author of Little Fires Everywhere A SHE READS BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR • ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE SEASON: The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Boston Globe, Bustle How do we understand ourselves when the story about who we are supposed to be is stronger than our sense of self? What do we stand to gain—and lose—by taking control of our narrative? Family defined the cultural identity of Prachi and her brother, Yush, connecting them to a larger Indian American community amid white suburbia. But their belonging was predicated on a powerful myth: the idea that Asian Americans, and Indian Americans in particular, have perfected the alchemy of middle-class life, raising tight-knit, high-achieving families that are immune to hardship. Molding oneself to fit this image often comes at a steep, but hidden, cost. In They Called Us Exceptional, Gupta articulates the dissonance, shame, and isolation of being upheld as an American success story while privately navigating traumas the world says do not exist. Gupta addresses her story to her mother, braiding a deeply vulnerable personal narrative with history, postcolonial theory, and research on mental health to show how she slowly made sense of her reality and freed herself from the pervasive, reductive myth that had once defined her. But tragically, the act that liberated Gupta was also the act that distanced her from those she loved most. By charting her family’s slow unraveling, and her determination to break the cycle, Gupta shows how traditional notions of success keep us disconnected from ourselves and one another—and passionately argues why we must orient ourselves toward compassion over belonging.

Book Description
An adventure into the heart of spiritual India that could change the way you think and live . . . Acts of Faith: Journeys to Sacred India is a sensitive and enriching exploration of the essential meaning and inner dynamics of sacred India. Through a series of deeply textured narratives of well-known masters, ashrams and sacred sites, it engages with that area of contemporary India where the profane and the sacred intersect, each transforming the other. This unusual pilgrimage shows how the pathway to the Divine is plural and open, rather than closed or restricted. While there are many travel books on India, few combine an inquiry into the meaning of India with actual visits to sacred sites, encounters with contemporary gurus, and reflections on perennial themes like ‘faith’ and ‘love’. Using both textual sources and actual experiences, Acts of Faith tries to define what constitutes the sacred, making for a highly interesting cartography of ‘India of the spirit’.

Book Description
This book captures some real-life scenarios where people bound by circumstances terminate their journey halfway. Being tired of failures, all their talents and aspirations get buried in the sands of time. Accepting it to be destiny’s cruel decision, they move from door to door with a begging bowl, desperately in search of a faint ray of hope: ‘Will the fortune ever smile on us?’ Some terrorists and trouble makers train and engage innocent boys in unlawful activities. The high sounding speech of the self-claimed servants of the people, on different occasions like Independence Day, Children’s Day, Martyrs’ Day, .. end up with some promises and assurances - far from reality. Dada Ji’s dream to change the lives of people around him and efforts to transform his vision into reality instil self-confidence among many. Rani Maa’s untiring people-friendly activities and handling critical issues fearlessly further encourage his efforts. In a war between two parties, it is not always the strength that brings victory. Strategy concurs over bravado as Shekhar’s decisions at crucial points helped him rise through ranks. Providing materialistic help to the needy is an earnest effort or a careless mistake. The focus should be to empower people, not to be needy again. Eliminate crime or criminal, an unconditional surrender of Wing Commander Mahesh narrates a different perspective to this. As Lord Krishna said to Arjuna on the 13th Day of the Mahabharata war, “Thou focus on the fight, leave the results to ‘Almighty Me’ ”. The book highlights characters keeping up the fight till the end to see through their own Karma’s fruits.
