Download or read book Bombay Review & Other Stories written by Ravi Valluri and published by Leadstart Publishing Pvt Ltd. This book was released on with total page 207 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bombay Review & Other Stories is a collection of stories inspired by real life incidents. The stories are woven around tales of drama, romance, unrequited love, unbridled ambition, avarice, murder mysteries, politics, legacies, the conflict between ethics and what is purportedly unethical, about writers (accomplished and the one’s emerging), singers and artistes, betrayal, issues pertaining to sexuality, sex change, faith, hope, and the law of attraction. The drabbles are drawn on occurrences which take place around us in our daily lives. I have been inspired by the epic Mahabharata, Panchatantra tales, and Zen stories as they capture human emotions and behaviour in totality which resonate in my stories in current days. To my mind life is a synodic curve, with upheavals, storms, vicissitudes, and great moments. Nothing is purely white or black. There is a vast shade of grey in between. Humans always have a choice before them and take the plunge. Characters like Karna, Arjuna, Dronacharya, Buddha, Ashwathama, Bhishma, Duryodhana, Shakuni, various Zen Masters and heroes and villains from Panchatantra find a place in the stories set in present times.

Download or read book Aajee Aur Nani Kahanis written by Motilal Boodoosingh and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2023-05-18 with total page 135 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ‘Trees live long after we are gone.’ In a feverish rush in the evening of his years, Motilal Boodoosingh, through his Kahanis series, is engaged in planting fruit trees in the literary landscape of the Caribbean. This book, his fourth on the trot, honours the memory of his Aajee – his paternal grandmother – by documenting some of the folk tales passed on to him through the oral tradition of storytelling. As such, in contrast to the earlier published works, it is overlaid with a strong flavour of Hinduism, but continues to trace the evolution of Indo-Trinidadian history, tradition and culture. The author’s memory of time, place and events is equally amazing, evident in his recall of what growing up was like in the southern rural district of Penal and its environs in the good ole days in Trinidad. There is adventure. There is humour. There is philosophy. Above all, there is sincere appreciation for all of the good things that came his way – documented here in black and white for all posterity. ‘If you want your children to be intelligent, read them fairy tales. If you want them to be more intelligent, read them more fairy tales.’ – Albert Einstein. At seventy-two, Motilal Boodoosingh is a retired Offshore Production worker. From the energy industry he switched, upon retirement, to the fields of literacy and literature. He holds a BA in Literature and Communications as well as a Certificate in the Teaching of Reading. He also has an Adult Literacy Tutors Certificate. He earned the right to be labelled a Cropper Fellow after he successfully completed in 2016 the Cropper Foundation Residential Workshop for Caribbean Writers. As prolific as his writing is his frenetic involvement in literacy and literary sessions such as the Adult Literacy Tutors Association (ALTA) project of Readings Under the Trees, and the fortnightly zoom sessions of Poetry and Prose. Published in a number of magazines, he is also a regular contributor to the online literary magazine, my Trinidad, Yesterday, Today & Tomorrow.

Download or read book The Great Golden Sacrifice of the Mahabharata written by Maggi Lidchi Grassi and published by Random House India. This book was released on 2011-11-20 with total page 586 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A stunningly lyrical work, The Great Golden Sacrifice of the Mahabharata reinterprets Vyasa’s epic from Arjuna’s point of view. As Arjuna relives the battle of Kurukshetra, he senses a profound change coming upon himself. He begins to understand the true meaning of surrender and sacrifice. The book comprises three parts, narrated principally by Arjuna. Part I takes us through the childhood and youth of the Pandavas and Kauravas, the game of dice, the Pandavas’ exile, and ends with the armies arrayed for battle at Kurukshetra. Part II recounts the battle itself, and the teachings of the Bhagvad Gita. Part III presents a moving and brilliantly original take on the Mahabharata, as Lidchi-Grassi gives a voice to the forgotten victims of every war—the ordinary citizens who must pick themselves up, and resume the business of life. An old order has been swept away, but can the new age—the Kali Yuga—help lessen human strife and misery? Vastly ambitious in scope and epic in scale, The Great Golden Sacrifice of the Mahabharata is an astonishing read.

This book was released on 2022-09-25 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Date of Mahabharata war has been a debatable issue for very long. Still, we don’t find a unanimous opinion. Traditional belief is that it happened around 3130 BCE, just before the start of Kaliyuga. Unfortunately, we couldn’t find any archaeological proof to support it. Even though marine archaeological discoveries in and around Dwaraka point towards that direction, we need more supporting evidence. But it was true that a war happened long ago. I have summarised the opinion of three sets of scholars.
