Book excerpt: Description Eleven-year-old Loki-Lokanayaki Shanmugam-is cricket crazy. She wants to play on the local cricket league team, The Temple Street Tankers. But they have a ridiculous 'boys only' rule that they aren't willing to change for a girl. And her parents seem to be too involved with her brother's studies to bother with Loki. So she takes matters into her own hands and begins a petition to fight for her right to play cricket. But very few people are willing to sign this petition-even her parents refuse. Nobody takes much notice till anonymous Twitter sensation @_poetic_paati takes up Loki's cause. Soon, Loki's petition goes viral and the entire nation is rooting for her. But will her parents, the team, and the guardians of tradition change their minds? And more importantly, if they do, will Loki be able to deliver the runs? Witty and fast-paced, Loki Takes Guard is as much a story about the joy of sports as it is about breaking outdated rules and standing up for oneself.

Book Synopsis In the Circle of the Dance by : Katharine Bjork Guneratne
Download or read book In the Circle of the Dance written by Katharine Bjork Guneratne and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2018-09-05 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Feeling initially aimless and out of place in rural Nepal where she accompanied her anthropologist husband for a year of fieldwork, Katharine Bjork Guneratne turned to writing to make sense of her sojourn in the shadow of the Himalaya. The resulting book is both an acute portrait of a village and an intimate account of her struggles to adapt to a different way of life. Like the best cultural travel narratives, In the Circle of the Dance draws on the author's experiences to illuminate both exterior and interior worlds. Bjork's book is in many ways a primer on the realities of fieldwork, from setting up house to participating in the work of the village women to finding ways to communicate across cultural divides. It describes how this outsider achieved a gradual and provisional inclusion in the community, an inclusion represented by her participation in a traditional women's circle dance. The book also depicts the effects of modernization and tourism on a society that remained closed to the West well into this century, while offering comparative insights about wider South Asian cultures. The author's lyrical, frequently moving descriptions of everyday life guide her readers through the stages of her cultural apprenticeship. In the end, as Bjork joins the circle dance, she is a stranger to the community still, but a familiar and welcome one.

Book excerpt: Kalidasa was a classical Sanskrit writer, widely regarded as the greatest poet and dramatist of the Sanskrit language. Nothing much is known about his life and neither can his works be dated with precision. Historians believe that Kalidasa authored works in the 4th or 5th century CE. Kalidasa wrote three plays. Among them Abhinanasakutalam is recognized as a masterpiece. This story tells the story of Shakuntala, who was brought up in a simple hermitage and went on to marry King Dushyanta. Kalidasa borrowed this story from Veda Vyasa - the writer of the Mahabharatha. This is the retelling of the story of Shakuntala as written by Veda Vyasa.
Download or read book Soft Corner written by Vinod Asudani and published by Narendra Publication. This book was released on 2019-02-18 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This novel narrates the evolution of unusual but still recognizable and universal passion in the heart of its protagonist Narayan who is born in a lower middle class family in a village and falls in love with music early in life. The central engagement of the novel however comes from profound pluralistic passion that is always present in Narayan's heart. His confession to the sincere passion for a few women is sure to earn condemnation from orthodox moralists. Protagonist believes that the love is not an occurrence but is an endless process. He believes that love is a four dimensional concept that demands emotional, physical, artistic, and intellectual manifestation. Novel seems to take us to higher plain of morality where the traditional codes have to be redefined and reinterpreted. The novel depicts extraordinary journey of Narayan's pluralistic passion of love that operates at intellectual, artistic, emotional and erotic levels. Much is to be deciphered from subterranean currents of narrative in the novel.
