Book excerpt: Mehbub Gulley - Short Stories from India is an anthology of stories about the lives of ordinary men and women in India, their existential dilemmas and their angst. Some of the stories are about life in the civil service. What happens when poor and studious Samuel from Alleppey gets selected to the Indian Administrative Service and marries into a wealthy landowning family? Nilufer longs to live with Pirosh in a house of her own in Darius Baug colony but as she pursues her dream, it takes the quality of a nightmare. Stefan, a young Austrian tourist finds himself succumbing to the enticements of Hyderabadi Biryani and a dimpled brown nymph, under the shadows of the Charminar in Hyderabad. The PM's plan to floor the foe across the border in Humptidumptistan with a powerful Stink Bum is stymied by the rivalry between Pisspot, the autocratic head of administration and the Old Codger, the irascible Chairman of the Sindustan Science Commission. Shiva Shambo, the Deputy Secretary is caught in the middle of the muddle. Narrated with sympathy, often with humour, the stories are sharply etched cameos of life in India, drawn by Elizabeth Kottarem's firm brush strokes.

Book excerpt: “There is a delicate humour here that will have you laughing out loud.” - Rohini Nair, Asian Age (Mumbai & Pune) “(Her) style is simple yet she keeps one absorbed in the fate of her characters through observation, insight and a sense of humour.” - Eunice De Souza, Mumbai Mirror Stefan, an art collector from Vienna, engrossed in his search for a meaning in life, finds a treasure under the shadows of the Charminar in the shape of a brown nymph with a small round face, wearing large glasses and sporting a severe look. But then he has the matter of the hockey sticks to contend with. “Hockey sticks seemed to be rated as the favourite article of accoutrement for men having a higher-than-the-average sense of moral outrage in India”. Stefan has the task of convincing Qudsiya’s hockey stick wielding uncles that he means well… In New Ashokapur, Deputy Secretary Shiva Shambo is faced with the formidable challenge of launching the Stink Bum, an ultimate smelly weapon of aggression against the foe across the border in Humptidumptistan - MP (Muchaad Panwala) whose incessant heel clicking annoys the PM. Can Shiva outmanoeuvre the machinations of his boss, Pissapati Parmahans Chaturvedi (known in the secretariat as ‘Old Pisspot’) and launch the Stink Bum? Mehbub Gulley and other short stories in this anthology by Thanksy Francis bring alive the sights and sounds of India and its many vibrant communities.

Book excerpt: It's Holi, 2012, the Hindu festival of spring, and back in Varanasi after twenty years, a young advocate is celebrating a nation-wide Supreme Court order against an age-old tradition of social injustice meted out to the destitute widows of India – to whom even the simple joys of color were denied. It was in this city that, twenty years ago, Choti, a sassy, tight-rope walker befriends an old widow, Noor. As a member of the ashram, she lives a life of complete abstinence, but her young friend's innocent exuberance and joy of life fills her with renewed hope. The two form an unlikely bond, with Noor looking out for Choti, inspiring her to 'fly high' by seeking an education and fighting for her rights with dignity. Choti listens enraptured by the memories her friend shares: of playing Holi dressed as Radha, the consort of Lord Krishna, and flinging great bursts of her favorite pink-colored gulal into the sky. Choti promises her that they will play the next Holi together. But then, one night, another friend of Choti's, Anarkali, is murdered by the heinous police chief and his goons. Being the only witness to her murder, Choti is imprisoned on the eve of Holi. Everything falls apart in the ensuing chaos. Will Choti be able to keep her promise of playing Holi with Noor? Pitting the smoke rising from the funeral pyres of Manikarnika Ghat, against the joyous color-bursts of Holi celebrations, Vikas Khanna's marvellously layered story of the survival of a delicate friendship, is brilliantly told and poignantly life-affirming.

In a state of growing panic, Amma Bi considers moving to an old people's home, before finally taking in a lodger -- a winsome young woman named Sabiha. Her arrival fills Amma Bi's lonely world with love and laughter, and Jumman, the household help, is transformed as well. When Sabiha finds herself in trouble, Amma Bi must draw on hidden reserves of skill and empathy in order to resolve the situation... Dopehri -- legendary film and theatre personality Pankaj Kapur's first novel -- is a wonderfully evocative work of great charm, wry humour and quiet power, a story that readers will fall in love with.

Book excerpt: Keeping faith in her heart, while answering the Whys of her life, she is always nudged towards the Why Nots. Unstil she realizes that it cannot be always trusted. 15th Century. Place: Somewhere in Northern India. A mighty king falls for a common girl, only to realize that she was anything but common. While fighting the odds and learning their differences, they choose love to write scripts of history. Centuries later, the kingdoms are long gone. But the will to accept challenges survives through a modern story, which is weaved around the central characters, Hridya and Aarav. They are familiar yet strangers to each other. From the young streets of college to the history-stricken alleys of an ancient fort, following the twists and turns of fate, the characters of this book are rallying through memories and time bridges. Their life as students, personal little victories, rebellions of the heart and constant unlearning for self-discoveries braids their story of lost and found. Walking through every stage in their life, they wander in the city of clouds, while finding suns, will they reinstate clarity? Will Hridya be able to fight Aarav who endangers her alleged heart? After crossing a wall of time, will Aarav’s choices repeat history? Is a tale from centuries past returning in the form of modern love? Read on to find out.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A poisoned paan, a non-government issue arrow and the cameo of a mysterious Englishman... Muzaffar Jang is that rare creature in Mughal Emperor Shahjahan’s Dilli – an aristocrat with friends in low places. One of whom, Faisal, stands accused of murder. When the body of Mirza Murad Begh is found stabbed in the chest, lying in a water channel in the Qila, poor Faisal is the only one around. But what of the fact that, minutes before his demise, the victim had stepped out of the haveli of Shahjahanabad’s most ravishing courtesan? Could not the sultry Mehtab Banu and her pale, delicate sister, Gulnar have something to do with the murder? Determined to save his friend, Muzaffar decides to investigate, with only a cup now and then of that new-fangled brew – ‘Allah, so bitter’ – called coffee to help him. A trail of clues leads him from Mehtab’s haveli out into the streets of seventeenth-century Dilli – rife with rumours of Dara Shukoh’s strange leanings and Prince Aurangzeb’s rebelliousness – into a conspiracy far more sinister than he had imagined...
