USKI PANCHVATI
0₹250.00About the Book
Does a woman neglected by her husband have the right to seek happiness elsewhere? Uski Panchvati is a novel which not only questions conventions sanctioned by society such as marriage but also compels us to ponder over them. Vikram Khanna, Delhi’s leading industrialist selects middle class Sadhvi as a bride for his younger brother Yatin. Himself married to Neera, who is neither educated nor talented, he admires Sadhvi who paints and is interested in fine arts. Yatin, however, ridicules her hobbies. For him, she is only a body to be used for pleasure. On the way to Gorakhpur, Vikram and Sadhvi stop at Basti where the guest house stands, surrounded by dense rows of mango trees. For Sadhvi, it becomes her own secluded, idyllic Panchvati where Vikram and she consummate their love for each other. Uski Panchvati questions whether anyone can experience a moment of complete and unparalleled happiness in life. If yes, is it possible to spend a whole lifetime on the basis of this.

VILLAGE VOICES
0₹250.00About the Book
Life in a small village of Tamil Nadu comes alive through the eyes and ears of the author. The stories take the readers on a rollercoaster ride from the excitement of Jallikattu-an ancient bull-taming sport to petty politics during village elections; from a young man pulled off a bus by villagers and made to marry the girl he had promised; from the village shop where anyone could walk in and buy on credit to the protests over the Koodankulam nuclear plant.
From the Uvari Legend that led to the setting up of the St Anthony’s Church to a temple priest revolting against the installing of a hundial in the temple. The Lourdes of South India tells us about the famous church of Annai at Velankanni where everyone – Hindus and Christians, come to pray. Fascinating stories of women beedi makers, temple festivals, marriage rituals – all make the village come alive with characters whom we all recognize and identify with.

WAH DHONI
0₹299.00About The Book
When Dhoni made his debut in ODI in Chittagong (Bangladesh), he was run out without opening his account. At the next ODI, he was caught while playing a pull shot. In the three match series, he scored only 19 runs. But those who reposed trust in him knew that once he got going he would outshine all his colleagues. This was proved during the match against Pakistan at Vishakhapatnam in 2005. He made Pakistani bowlers look like club rookies and announced his arrival with 148 off 123 balls. It was Mahi all over.
The book attempts a peek into Mahendra Singh Dhoni’s persona that makes him an outstanding cricketer and a captain. Coming from Ranchi, a town not associated with cricket, to make it big at the international level was not an easy task. With quiet determination, he overcame one hurdle after another and achieved the captaincy of Team India in all three formats of the game. The book keeps the statistical details to a bare minimum and tries to present to Dhoni’s fans several hitherto unknown or unpublicized facts related to his younger and struggling days, his temperament, his family, his beliefs and the changes he has brought to the dressing room atmosphere.
His story proves the axiom that champions do not depend on ideal conditions to reach the top, they rather adapt themselves and overcome the conditions made available to them. Indeed! this is the story of a local boy, who quietly dreamt big and went on to realize his dream… thus earning a permanent place in the history of Indian cricket, that too within such a short span.
