Book Description
About the book Out of Print in print! A decade ago, in 2010, Indira Chandrasekhar set up Out of Print to address a need she felt as a writer: a focused platform for the short story; a space for robust editorial discussions as well as one that would serve as a platform for discoveries—of newer facets of the form itself and of new writing. This commemorative volume hopes to capture something of that adventure. It is, thus, not a ‘best of’ volume, but one that speaks to the spirit of the magazine: its diversity of literary voices, its openness to experimentation, its focus on Indian-language publishing and its stand against mediocrity. Most crucially, of course, this is an ode to the short-story form, its ‘art of brevity and honesty’.

ONCE UPON A TIMEThere was a Little Fairy who loved to wander by the river, and as the Fairy Queen does not like her subjects to go too near the water, the Little Fairy had to steal away.Always when they held a revel this Little Fairy would fly away from the dance and wander down by the river to watch the ripple of the water as it flowed over the pebbles and stones.One night a Goblin, who always watched the fairies, happened to be sitting under a bush and saw the Little Fairy."What is she doing here all alone?" he said to himself. "She has run away from her sisters, and I am quite sure the Queen does not know where she is. I'll watch her, and if she is up to mischief I'll tell the Queen. Maybe she will give me a new red coat for telling her."Now, this little tell-tale Goblin began to watch, and pretty soon he saw a mist rise from the river; then it looked like foam, all silvery, in the moonlight.And then suddenly as he watched, the goblin saw a handsome youth rise from the river and hold out his arms to the Little Fairy standing on the bank."Ah-ha!" said the Goblin. "She has a lover, has she? Well I'll tell the Queen and I guess these midnight meetings will be stopped, and I am sure now I shall get a new coat for telling."The River Youth called to the Fairy just then, and the Goblin forgot the red coat to watch what happened.

My Stories This is a collection of my short stories, travelogues and anecdotes published in some renowned English dailies of north east India. The short stories revolve around common man’s life.

In‘’ Hues of Blue’’ the pandemic created miseries is well depicted. ‘’The Mysterious Lady”, ‘’November Rain’’, “The Gift” all three are about simple romance. ‘’Broken Dreams’’ and ‘’Street Life’’ showcased the struggle for existence of common man. In the travelogues section I have tried to provide a visual representation of my tours. All of my trips were road trips and I singlehandedly drove my car to different difficult destinations along with my wife and son. Be it Kathmandu and Pokhara, Thimphu and Paro or Tawang and Darjeeling all trips were to hilly terrain. In the anecdotes section I have remembered some incidents associated with my life. “Sleeping Driver’’, ’’Meat Misery’’ and ‘’Water Worries’’ are of humorous genre. Other write ups are about memories of my late parents, my school days, my college days, and my work life and last but not the least my saviours during my distress. Hope you will enjoy reading this small effort from me and shower blessings upon me.

Book Description
The Story of My Life, originally published in Czechoslovakia in 1928, is the engaging and informative autobiography of Frank Vlchek, a Czech immigrant who became a successful businessman in Cleveland, Ohio, during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The youngest of fourteen children, Vlchek was born to peasant parents in Budyn, southern Bohemia, in 1871. After attempting a career in blacksmithing in Bohemia, at the age of seventeen he decided to follow his two older sisters to Cleveland, home to America's second-largest Czech community. Vlchek worked a variety of unsatisfactory jobs during his first years in Cleveland. In 1895 he opened his own smithing operation, which after a long struggle was transformed into a successful corporation that specialized in the manufacture of toolkits for automobiles. acquisitions, and the successes and travails of his operation. Vlchek was often able to travel home to Czechoslovakia, and during those trips he noted the different cultural and political attitudes that had evolved between Czechs and their Czech American cousins. Vlchek's memoir provides a rare primary source about Czech immigrants. It also offers insight into a self-made man's life philosophy, illustrates relations between ethnic groups in Cleveland during the 1880s, and demonstrates the assimilation of a late-nineteenth-century immigrant in America. Readers interested in immigration history as well as the history of Cleveland will enjoy this fascinating autobiography.
