Kalki
Author: Gowri Ramnarayan
Publisher: Penguin UK
ISBN: 8184751710
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 239
Book Description
‘Kalki’ R. Krishnamurthy, one of the pioneering giants of the Tamil press in the tumultuous times of the nationalist movement, was a versatile and prolific writer, inscribing the urgencies of his time in his fiction. This collection brings together the best of Kalki’s short stories, which contain some of his most colourful and enduring characters and themes of Tamil popular fiction of the nineteen thirties and forties. There is in these stories the heady urgency of the freedom struggle, the piquant humour of the parodied Tamil gothic and devastating social satire. In her sensitive translations, Gowri Ramnarayan has succeeded in capturing the nuances of the gently mordant wit that made Kalki’s stories the highlight of the magazines they were originally published in, creating for themselves a dedicated following that flourishes undiminished to this day. Coinciding with the centenary of Kalki’s birth, this volume is a well-deserved tribute to a writer whose breadth of vision and genius imagined and served a new India.

The Rising of Kalki

Languages : en
Pages : 163
Book Description
The Rising of Kalki is a drama fiction. So many people have question regarding God. Who is God? How is God? Why God is invisible to us? How God look alike? What God does? In this novel, I have tried to give answer to these questions. But this novel is not a religious book. This is a drama fiction. I have taken variety of features of God. I have given the name of God Kalki. There is a big controversy over the God (Kalki). Sankarachaya has started dispute over God in India. So this book gives actual meaning of Kalki. In India, there are proclaimed Kalki and people are cheated with this type of disingenuous Saffron Cloth people. Few Saffron brigades are busy in cheating people of India. This book helps people to save themselves from Saffron disingenuous people. One more controversy is of Yogi Adityanath, Member of Parliament of India, and his theory on Love Jihad and revenge. This book has main hero Waris, a Muslim guy and his wife is Khushboo, a Hindu Bhrahmin girl. So many people will think that, is Kalki Muslim, or Hindu or Christan? Why Kalki is doing inter religios marriage. So this book explains the meaning of Real Kalki. This book shows the correct definition of God. And because I am giving correct definition, the controversy will start. So many people will read this book to know what kalki is. "Yadaa Yadaa Hi Dharmasya, Glanir Bhavati Bharat. Abhyuthaanamdharmasya Tadaatmaanam Srujyaaham Paritraanay Saadhunam Sinashaay cha Duskrutaam Dharm Santhapanaajthaay Sambhavaami Yuge Yuge." (Gita, Adhyay [Chapter 4], Slok [reverse 7 and 8]) When humans have big problems, God will take birth on Earth to save the people of the Earth. In any era, when people will be in major problem, I will come on the earth to save people every time. Reverse Taken From Gita of Hindu. In this book I have mentioned that the entire citizens on the earth are God. All people have good side and bad side. We all have a God living in our heart but we couldn't recognize him. In 21st century, the name of God according to Hindu Mythology is Kalki and we all are Kalki. In Gita of Hindu, Bibal of Christian, Quran of Islam and in many more religious books, there is mentioned that God will get birth in 21st century. And according to Hindu mythology, the name of God will be "Kalki" In Gita of Hindu, there is written that Lord Vishnus ten incarnations named Kalki will get birth in twenty-first century when human being will be in problem. There is a story in all holy books, for example, in Bible there is written that when mankind will have major problem, Jesus Christ will take birth again on the earth. (The Bible, King James Version, Revelation 22:7). In Holy Quran, there is written that when the sin and evil will be uncontrollable, Allah will come back to Earth. (Al Hajj 22.1)

The Elephant in the Womb
Author: Kalki Koechlin
Publisher: Penguin Enterprise
ISBN: 9780143454052
Category : Comics & Graphic Novels
Languages : en
Pages : 256
Book Description
Motherhood is the greatest job in the world...right? In this unique graphic narrative, we finally have that candid, funny and relatable book on pregnancy and parenting that mothers, expectant mothers, and anyone even thinking about motherhood have been waiting for. Actor and writer Kalki Koechlin opens up about so much that we don't talk about-the social stigma of abortions and unmarried pregnancies, the toll that pregnancy takes on a body, the unacknowledged domestic labour of women, the emotional rollercoaster of giving birth, bouts of postpartum melancholy, the unsolicited parenting advice from every corner, and of course the innumerable moments of joy and delight in bringing a real little person into this very weird world. With whimsy and compassion, with uproariously funny art and spellbinding honesty, The Elephant in the Womb blends the deeply private with the blazingly political. It's an eye-opener for anyone who has ever thought that pregnancy was all about the glow and that motherhood was all about fulfilment. From fixing broken parts to enduring untimely farts, Koechlin's nuanced prose-gorgeously illustrated by Valeriya Polyanychko-tells us the bare-faced truth about the physiological discomfort and manic expectations that make it a bittersweet experience. With a combination of personal essays and think-pieces, journal entries captured in real time, reflections and anecdotes, this is the motherload!
