Author: Nitya Prakash
Publisher: Nitya Prakash
ISBN: 1476336253
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 152
Book Description
Unlike any other story, it begins with an end. The protagonist of the story has met with a severe accident and is dying under the sun, on a street of Delhi. Few people are trying to rush him to a nearby hospital but he is slowly losing his grip on his breaths. In the last hours of his life someone asks him a question and with that question he enters into a series of flashbacks from his past life. He remembers his first day at his school, his father’s death, his best friends, his first crush in his school and how he meets her after many years, his gold medal and the time in University, the unfortunate death of the girl who loved him, his life in Banking Academy and his meeting with the man he aspires to be like and the arrival of another girl for whom he was ready to do anything. Is true love an obsession? Can someone live with the guilt of killing someone? Will he survive? Who is he? What brought him here? Was it an accident or something else? “Dear, I hate you!” is about love, hatred, sex and the transition one undergoes when no one is around.

Collected Plays of Mahesh Elkunchwar
Author: Maheśa Elakuñcavāra
Publisher: Oxford University Press, USA
ISBN: 9780198070856
Category : Literary Collections
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
Collected Plays of Mahesh Elkunchwar, Volume II brings together eight critically acclaimed plays--Holi, Flower of Blood, God Son, As One Discardeth Old Clothes, Autobiography, Party, Pond, and Apocalypse--by the noted Marathi playwright. 'Holi', the first play in the collection, is about a group of restless, directionless, and disillusioned youngsters on the campus, who finally vent their frustrations on a gullible victim, ending in a gruesome tragedy. 'Flower of Blood' is about the trauma of an aging woman and her daughter's discovery of her sexuality. 'God Son' is a study of emotional and physical abuse inflicted in the name of 'scientific' upbringing. 'As One Discardeth Old Clothes' delves into the mind of a man who is waiting to discard his mortal shackles and join the Supreme One. 'Autobiography' is about an old writer trying to write his autobiography and coming to terms with a lifetime of lies and deceit. 'Party' is a vignette of city sophisticates and urban artists and their vacuous, masked lives. 'Pond' and 'Apocalypse' are part of the Wada trilogy. While 'Pond' tries to portray the changing values of Dharangaonkar Deshpandes, the younger generation taking over and succumbing to the materialistic lifestyle that spells doom for them as well as others, 'Apocalypse' is indicative of a futuristic picture of India, her villages denuded of everything and turning them into a vast desert: environmental, economic, cultural, social, and spiritual. Translated by Shanta Gokhale, Supantha Bhattacharya, Irawati Karnik, and Ashish Rajadhyaksha, this volume includes a Foreword by Vijaya Mehta and an introduction by Ananda Lal. The volume also includes detailed notes on production of each of the eight plays and photographs of the staging of the plays.

The Barrio Gangs of San Antonio, 1915-2015
Author: Mike Tapia
Publisher: Texas A&M University Press
ISBN: 0875656641
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 263
Book Description
Barrio Gangs is the most comprehensive academic case study of barrio group dynamics in a major Texas city to date. This is a sociological work on the history of barrio gangs in San Antonio and other large Texas cities to the present day. It examines the century-long evolution of urban barrio subcultures using public archives, oral histories, old photos, and other forms of qualitative data. The study gives special attention to the barrio gangs’ “heyday,” from the 1940s through the 1960s, comparing their attributes to those of modern groups. It illustrates how social and technological changes have affected barrio networking processes and the intensity of the street lifestyle over time. Intergenerational shifts and the tension that accompanies such changes are also central themes in the book. Few other places are so conducive to such historical exploration as is San Antonio. Street ignobility in the barrio no doubt mirrors processes found in other Chicano communities in Texas and the Southwest. The gang contexts in major Chicano population centers have lengthy historical bases rooted in weak opportunity structures, oppression, and discrimination. This work shows that participation in street violence, drug selling, and other parts of the informal economy are functional adaptations to the social structure; the forces propelling the formation of barrio gangs are not temporary social phenomena.

Yesterday’s Melodies Today’s Memories
Author: Manek Premchand
Publisher: Notion Press
ISBN: 1644298775
Category : Juvenile Nonfiction
Languages : en
Pages : 494
Book Description
Yesterday’s Melodies Todays Memories is a rare collection of profiles of all important music-makers of the Hindi Film Industry between 1931 and 1970. It not only gives a biographical background of each music artiste, but it goes further to interview many of the surviving giants and completes the task by listing some of the best songs with which that person is associated. Here are singers that include the whole gamut from KL Saigal to Asha Bhosle, lyricists that include Sahir and Gulzar, music composers from Naushad to RD Burman, artistes that were part-time singers and full time actors like Ashok Kumar, melody queens like Noor Jahan and Lata Mangeshkar, gentlemen lyricists like Prem Dhawan and gentlemen singers like Manna Dey, mischief-makers like Kishore Kumar and rebels without pause like OP Nayyar and Majrooh Sultanpuri. In fact, this book is a house in which all these great talents live happily, each in a separate room, given space for self-expression. The serious research that has gone into this book is evident as you move from one chapter to another, opening layers after layers presented non-seriously. Over 100 music makers are presented this way and many more in a huge single chapter.
