Khushwant Singh on Women, Sex, Love and Lust
by Khushwant SinghAn anthology of Khushwant Singh’s best writings on his favorite subjects, Women, Sex, Love and Lust is at once witty, informative, thought-provoking and flagrant. Definitely a book you can’t afford to miss! If you are looking for answers to eternal questions like which came first – love or lust, or debates pertaining to celibacy, chastity or arranged marriages, Khushwant Singh delivers his unique exposé. Whether he is analysing the fine dividing line between obscenity, pornography and erotica, describing sex from ‘Chaturbhani’ (200-350 B.C.) or his ideas of a composite Indian woman, Khushwant holds the reader’s attention effortlessly. But that isn’t all – years before terms such as ‘gender issues’ or ‘gender divide’ became popular, he was writing, thinking and sharing his views on them. His deliberations reveal an unexpected side to Khushwant . . . in these pages you’ll also find a rare glimpse of Khushwant the feminist. Women, Sex, Love and Lust abounds with Indian as well as foreign myths, legends, proverbs, and poems ranging from Chaucer, Shakespeare, Whitman to Kalidas, Iqbal and Faiz. Almost each page offers you delectable quotes from Russell to Wodehouse along with special anecdotes which could only come from the inimitable Khushwant. Only he could share with you his intense experience of nudo-phobia suffered in Sweden, his acute observation of Indian whoremongers when abroad, scandals amongst the literati and glitterati – H. G. Wells as a compulsive fornicator or Georges Simenon hammering away at his typewriter (and his women) at the age of eighty are only a few revelations.

My Stroke of Luck: Alphabet to Author - One Man's Inspiring Journey from Adversity to Triumph
by Vijay SanthanamThe stimulating saga of a man who, thanks to his never-say-die attitude, found the courage and the determination to bounce back despite being felled by a serious, disabling condition When Vijay Santhanam was afflicted with a stroke at the age of 41, he was paralyzed on the right side of his body. He couldn’t move without help and he couldn’t speak at all. But he soon realized that his powers of reasoning/thought were not lost to him. And he garnered his spirit and willpower within him to work at regaining his health and faculties; a stroke wasn’t going to get him down. Vijay goes on to get back to work, to write two books on one of the biggest passions of his life—cricket, a sport that was one of his greatest inspirations while in hospital and on the road to recovery, and to teach at IIM Ahmedabad and IIM Lucknow. This is the inspiring story of a man who didn’t waste time bemoaning his fate; his immediate agenda was to understand what could make him healthy again and to start with, to return to the life he’d known before as a regional head of marketing in a multinational company in Singapore. My Stroke of Luck: Alphabet to Author is Vijay’s journey through long, sometimes painful, and often frustrating, months of therapy, relearning the alphabet and learning new strengths: emotional, mental and physical. Vijay’s attempt is not to describe the human brain and how it works in a scientific manner but to celebrate a man’s inspiring journey. He believes when a human being is confronted by a big crisis, often she/he summons all her/his spirit and willpower to fight back and win. His story is testimony and an eloquent example of it.
Pegasus: Leading the Way to Light & Love
by Tehruna Meresh‘The time has come for humanity to look deep within and face a part of themselves that opens them to an eternal love that exists in the higher realms, beyond their comprehension. To live in darkness and not want the light is to live in a cave without sunshine – the eyes get weak and cannot see anything beyond. So do not resist your progress forward by being resistant to new ideas for change and bring yourselves into the light. For this I have given of myself to show you a world beyond your conception.’ – Grandpa What happens when divinity intervenes and touches the hearts of all beings? Tehruna Meresh, through the process of automatic writing, brings you an anthology of lucid, and at times overwhelming messages from beyond, in the words of her spiritual guide – her ‘Grandpa’.

My Cancer Is Me: The Journey from Illness to Wholeness
by Nilima Bhat Vijay BhatThe inspiring story of one man’s relationship with his cancer and how it healed him . . . ‘You have cancer.’ These simple words come as a terrible shock. Life, as you know it, changes in an instant and nothing is the same again. Panic and fear overwhelm you as you desperately pin your hopes on doctors and on medical treatment. But this is only part of the story. While your doctors work towards healing your body, you must heal your inner self, just as Vijay Bhat did to beat his cancer. When he focused on himself, Vijay realized that his cancer originated within and only then manifested as a ‘tumour’ in his body. The authors believe that healing requires a ‘person-centric’ approach, where the focus is the whole person and all the aspects of his inner and outer life, rather than an ‘organ-centric’ one, where the focus is merely the disease or affected organ. According to them, cancer is the result of your physical lifestyle along with your mental, emotional and spiritual processes and the ‘stressors’ associated with these processes. For instance, negative thoughts and attitudes are mental stressors while negative emotions such as anger and guilt are emotional stressors. Healing these aspects of yourself is essential for physical healing. The authors guide you through your process of self-discovery, showing you how to find your stressors and teaching you how to recover from them. The book also gives useful information on the biological aspects of cancer and its causes; dietary and nutritional needs of cancer patients; how to maintain optimum immunity; how to confront loss and death; and the role of the caregiver. My Cancer Is Me is a thought-provoking and sensitive guide for anyone who has cancer or is supporting a loved one with cancer.

Spiritual Success: Wisdom for the Boardroom and Beyond
by Mohit Kapoor Gopika KapoorThe word success is open to various interpretations, often equated with power and control, financial abundance, having the right sort of friends, fraternizing with the swish set and living the ‘high life.’ Although manifestations of success are many, they all have one common factor – the overwhelming presence of the ego. Many people will tell you that to succeed you need to have a healthy ego, but what if success exists just for itself? What if you can be successful just for yourself? We are both ‘successful’ professionals, excelling and making a name for ourselves in our individual fields. And yet, if you were to ask us what we consider our greatest successes, our answers, individually and collectively, would be non-material and intangible things that enrich our lives and make them successful. Drawing a page (actually, make that an entire chapter!) from our own lives, we sought to re-examine the idea of success, and analyze how it has changed for us. Thus, Spiritual Success hopes to share this vision with you, and inspire you to develop your own idea of success and what it means to be successful. Our endeavour is to enable you to define success as a holistic concept covering not just material success, but also intellectual growth; personal enrichment; development of a compassionate view of serving the society and community you live in; and the evolution of your own chosen spiritual practise that simultaneously invigorates and calms you.
