Book Description
This is a story of a little boy growing up in a remote village of Bengal in pre-independent India. Born to a rich family, the boy, Nimchand alias Nimu, enjoyed a privileged childhood in a huge mansion. After a few years, he lost his father, and the status of the family fell from grace. Nimchand found himself thrown in rough waters in a country torn apart by the freedom movements and religious conflicts. Mother Sarojini, a fiercely strong-minded woman, steadfastly stood against all hostile situations they faced and tried hard with the courage to rebuild her shattered family. Nimu, too, had to struggle hard to survive and get an education. This engrossing family saga is steeped in many strange phenomena—eerily suspenseful and piercingly fearful—occurring in traditional domestic settings. This true story, deep-rooted in rural Bengal and enriched by its many festive occasions, is elegantly written with unscarred authenticity. A fascinating account of many characters with fine details is painstakingly and meticulously described in lucid prose with excellent narrative skill. In a world overstuffed with books of many kinds, the readers may find Roads of Uncertainty to be a welcoming exception and a pleasure to read.

Book Description
Prabha's Kitchen is a compilation of traditional Konkani cuisine that has enthralled the Konkani folks for ages. The culinary habit is a unique component of their culture and has remained a mainstay in their daily lives. Moving away from a joint family across generations has created a vacuum for Konkani food and traditions. I have therefore tried to consolidate the details of the traditional Konkani spread. The intent of this book is to have Konkani cuisine in print. The recipes are pure vegetarian and are traditional for the Konkani community from Kerala. The book could help satiate the nostalgia and yearning for an authentic Konkani culinary fare. It would not only help the Konkani youngsters, but also others to explore Konkani recipes.

Book Description
An emotional roller-coaster set against the backdrop of 11th century India – little mentioned in the books. This is the tale of the charming and gentle Udaymati, trusting and elegant queen of Anuhilwara, who was proud of her family and country. Prudent in her thoughts and decisions, she yearned for a genteel way of life, which unfortunately eluded her. Udaymati is caught in the vortex of turbulent life, when King Bhimdev, who promised her enduring love and a lifetime of happiness, turns back on his promise. This was a turning point in her life, when she realises, deception brings with it nothing but anguish. When a ruthless invader from a foreign land across the border goes on a looting spree, and her country is plunged into untold miseries following the invasion, Udaymati rises above her personal conflicts, and together with Bhimdev and Vimal Shah, focuses on the safety of the people, and the safe-keeping of the royal treasure and the cache of the Somnath. Udaymati resolutely believes that every defeat can be turned into a victory and every lost war can lay the foundation of a whopping resurgence in the future… What remains to be seen in this tale is, whether the same is applicable in the case of her personal life. The story vividly describes a time when attitudes to life, society, religion and politics, in general, were in many ways, different from the ones which are prevalent today; yet, the fact is that they are very much relevant even today. It is an aperture that focuses on a fascinating world.

Book Description
Can a devadasi fall in love? Yes. But is she allowed to do so? A devadasi is an ever-auspicious one, presiding over the temple rituals, entertaining the king and brought up to respect and follow traditions mindlessly. Nitya does all that unquestioningly until she meets Prabhas. Prabhas, the young rebel who grew up in a devadasi household, finally mellows to become an excellent musician. But just as he readies for a duty-bound life ahead, he encounters Nitya. As Kaveri, Nitya’s mother, and the town’s dashing chief Yugendra personify the social hierarchy, rigid customs and hypocrisy of the day to tear them apart, do Nitya and Prabhas stand a chance? What survives? Love that knows no bounds or traditions that were the very essence of their existence?

Book Description
Two and a Half Rainbows – A Collection of Short Stories draws inspiration from the myriad shades of humanity, its persistent struggles, and its little moments of joy. These stories attempt to capture the intricacies of human emotions and celebrate the human spirit through a neutral voice. Despite being rooted, the storytelling is engaging, as it employs multiple genres and tones. In ‘Fireworks’, five-year-old Rony’s ecstasy is in stark contrast to his beloved maid Roma’s agony, as he witnesses a daily spectacle from his apartment window. Similarly, upon ‘Meeting Rosanna’ after 40 long years, Joseph’s excitement contradicts Rosanna’s apprehensions about him, owing to their past. Despite Gajraj’s progressive demeanour, his hypocrisy comes to the fore, when he is angered by the frivolous promise made by the ‘Fly on the wall’. Likewise, little Advaith’s innocence is put to the test when a friend seduces him to explore his ‘Dual’ nature. Thus, through a bioscope of sixteen realistic but fictional short stories, the author takes the reader on a journey through the by lanes of life’s bittersweet memories.
