Book Description
“How about bunking the next class and rushing to the cricket field and while you are at it, planting a bomb in the toilet?” Wait, what the hell am I asking you to do with deadlines to catch on!? But allow me to take you down the forgotten memory lanes and remind you of the times when… You had a fit of breathlessness in front of your crush, When FLAMES said marriage, you couldn’t help but blush. Blank calls played Morse codes, Two meant – you missed her loads. You were clumsy as shit, because her presence was sublime, But after your break-up, crying became your favorite pastime. You bunked the classes and said - 'Let the studies rot!' But you never missed Kiran ma'am's class, ‘coz she was pretty hot! ;) Cricket brought you glory, And planting a bomb in school changed your story. Life screwed you over and killed your spirit, But you’re glad that you anyway did it. Told from the eyes of an Indian middle-class teenager, this story will make you wonder what you would have done if you were named Ghanshyam and were born a pessimistic nerd, while your optimistic best friend believed in unicorns and utopia! And to add to your woes, what if you fell in love with the most beautiful girl of your school? Wouldn’t you then wait for a miracle to happen?

Book Description
“A brilliantly conceived and long overdue opening up [or deconstruction] of the Anne Frank story.” —James Clifford, Professor Emeritus, History of Consciousness Department, University of California As millions of people around the world who have read her diary attest, Anne Frank, the most familiar victim of the Holocaust, has a remarkable place in contemporary memory. Anne Frank Unbound looks beyond this young girl’s words at the numerous ways people have engaged her life and writing. Apart from officially sanctioned works and organizations, there exists a prodigious amount of cultural production, which encompasses literature, art, music, film, television, blogs, pedagogy, scholarship, religious ritual, and comedy. Created by both artists and amateurs, these responses to Anne Frank range from veneration to irreverence. Although at times they challenge conventional perceptions of her significance, these works testify to the power of Anne Frank, the writer, and Anne Frank, the cultural phenomenon, as people worldwide forge their own connections with the diary and its author. “This collection of brilliant essays offers fascinating and unexpected insights into the significance of Anne Frank’s iconic Holocaust-era diary from many disciplinary perspectives in the arts and humanities.” —Jan T. Gross, the Norman B. Tomlinson Professor of War and Society, Princeton University “This volume is a major contribution to scholarship regarding Anne Frank's diary and its cultural influence . . . Highly recommended.” —Choice “Engrossing . . . The overall aim is to provide a greater understanding of the general and particular engagement with Anne Frank as a person, a symbol, an icon, an inspiration, and perhaps most polarizing, as one victim, not the victim of the Nazi holocaust.” —Broadside

Book Description
Dr Yogesh Gupta became a degree holder of Medicine in the year 2003. He is practicing since then in city of Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India. In 20 years of practice and 10 years of studies before that has given him an insight of Indian healthcare system. He has seen many changes happening in this period from nursing home culture to corporate hospital culture. From cash patient to cashless patient to free treatment culture in India. In between he got married to a beautiful intelligent wife, a research scientist Dr. Geeta Gupta. Both of them were blessed with two beautiful angel’s daughter Manya and Arayna. Their presence gave him a purpose in life apart from service to patients. He strongly believes that in medical education and medical practice there is a huge difference. Medical education is good enough to provide a degree to practice. But real thing starts when we practice that medicine in real situations. The book that we read, the lectures we attended and the theory we cramped for exams where only to get degree. Then what happens when the doctor start practicing, he or she always feels that they were cheated during education. So much was left untouched during studies. Knowing and learning about Indian healthcare led to a belief that we are at a crossroad. Either we choose to go and become an Americanized healthcare or we choose to create our own safe and healthy Indian healthcare. But till this is decided by intelligent people and policy makers of India he decided to play safe. Increasing cases of medical negligence, violence against doctors, tirade by media, slavery by corporate hospitals and bullying insurance companies have become a way of life. Let’s hope we doctors learn it right and we all pray that we can practice in peace. This is his second book. First book was Covid diaries: Virus vs. We. Writing that book and then looking to the response from the medical fraternity motivated him to write this journey of his. This is non-fiction account of his medical practice. He is sure that doctors will relate to each of the story account. His hope is that medical profession deserves more in India.
