Book Description
'This unusual collection of recipes is a moving homage to the author's mother and grandmother, who brought her up on ragi and love. "Tempered" with ovis-earthy verses sung by Maharashtrian women as they go about their daily chores-this book will delight both the reader of recipes and its practitioner.' - Ira Pande Ragi, which is known by many names-Nachani, Nagli, Kelvaragu, Mutthari, Coracano, or finger millet-is a much neglected wonder food and an indigenous grain that has been grown and consumed in India's rural areas for centuries. Ragi-Ragini is a collection of ragi recipes-traditional ones, variations of the traditional as well as entirely new innovations. The author believes that ragi has the potential to take a weak and ailing body and lead it towards health, wisdom and self- realisation, and she infuses her recipes with this faith. The recipes are accompanied by a sparkling little tale about a little girl called Ragini, her life with her genius grandmother Aji and fiesty Masi in a small coastal Konkan village, and the transcendental ragi grain. Adorning the narrative and recipes are ovis or verses composed by the renowned Marathi poet Bahinabai which have been sung by generations of women while going about their daily chores, and which talk about the life, work and concerns of women in the region. This unusual little book by Anjali Purohit not only offers simple tips to include ragi in your daily diet, but is also a delight to read!

Book Description
The names of Mirabai, Akka Mahadevi and Andal, are known to many, but innumerable women poets remain relatively unknown. When we hear of them, it is invariably as plaster saints or meek followers. It is time to smell the danger in their words again, to listen to their feral sensuality, their searing questions about custodians of gender and faith. It is time to tune into their brazenness, their heartbreaking longing. Not just for their sake but for ours too. In this anthology of sacred poetry that arrives after the much-loved book, Eating God, Arundhathi Subramaniam weaves together haunting voices of, by and for women across the Indian subcontinent. Here is a lineage of audacious woman-centred spirituality that traverses the poetry of ancient Buddhist nuns, Bhakti and Sufi mystics, tantrikas and Vedantins. There are women here, and men singing as women, and both raising their voices in praise of the sacred feminine. Brought to us through translation, these poems surprise with how intimately familiar their ravenous yearnings and ecstatic freedoms are. Wild Women invites us to reclaim an explosive inheritance of female power, rapture and wisdom.

When he has fallen down in business and in extreme difficulties, the businessman Someswaram has a dream. In that dream an evil power, camel-headed man Gazira appeared to him and made a proposal to him. That proposal was; Someswaram has to agree to give birth to one of his queens Ambola who committed suicide and after that girl attains her eighteenth year Gazira would take her away from Someswaram. Someswaram must not try to prevent Gazira from taking that girl from him then. In response to that Gazira would make Someswaram that much rich that he could not even imagine. Someswaram agreed to that proposal, his wife at her forty-fifth year gave birth to a girl who was named as Sukanya and someswaram very well knew who she was. What he did not guess at all was that he would develop lots and lots of love and affection on that girl. He told about his dream to only two people one to his son Sasikanth and two to his wife’s sister Susmitha, the psychiatrist. The sudden richness in their life made Someswaram and Sasikanth completely believe that dream was not just a dream but to the psychiatrist Susmitha it was just a dream always. But the real problem started when Sukanya entered into her eighteenth year, when strange incidents started to happen and when Sukanya started behaving like Ambola but to her psychiatrist aunt it was just split-personality

Book Description
‘I cannot bear this’, ‘I want to pluck my eyes out’ only these two sentences were the clues which the late girl Nirupama left in writing one on a wall and one in a book quite unintentionally and involuntarily to know about the reason for her committing suicide. Her father Ranganath, detective Smaran and his niece Menaka along with Nirupama’s friend Sukanya pretty well understood that Nirupama did not want the secret for her committing suicide to be known to anyone else. But since her father Ranganath was hell bent upon knowing about the said secret, detective Smaran and his niece Menaka ruthlessly investigated the matter only to unearth the said ghastly, shocking and astounding secret which the dead girl terribly wished to keep only with her in her grave forever.
