Book Description
Rakoshi Devis came to me as a shock since they happened to rescue my senses at a time when extreme anger overwhelmed my consciousness and it was waiting to annihilate my sanity. They salvaged me from the predicament of devastation which hovered around me like an eagle waiting to pounce upon its prey. The Rakoshi Devis I saw in my vision were three gruesome-looking figures ready to overthrow conventional wisdom that often enforces the norm of propriety on a woman. These introduced themselves to me as strong opponents of the egocentric MANHOOD that’s born to obliterate feminine identity. A ‘Demonic Man’ happens to challenge the Devis’ feminine prowess; not evidently by oppressing them but implicitly until he brings them to the point where they become vulnerable to his attack. The Rakoshis then blend their feminine benignity with their demonic ire and manifest themselves into a transformed version of the fierce ‘Demonic Goddess’ to counteract the refractory Egoistic Masculine Vampire.”

Book Description
This book is an analysis of not only the literal merits of the bard but also the influences and impacts of his works on society, as well as the different incantations of the human mind and interpersonal relationships. From addressing the status of Jews in Venice, to the differences between fate and destiny, to the vainglorious villainy of Iago, it delves at times deep into human psyche. It addresses issues that were not only relevant then but seem to transgress the eons. Its significance lies in identifying and challenging beliefs of characters and conditions. Was Caesar heroic or was Brutus the great devil? What role did the essence of time and timing play in the tale of Romeo and Juliet? How was gender ambiguity presented in The Tempest? It examines the tiny sliver that separates hate and love and what it might take to unite or cross that divide. Reviews: “I am so impressed with your study of historical positions to contradict some of the playwright’s assumptions. But equally awesome is your sensitive interpretation of communal bias in those times and Shakespeare’s role in portraying it. You will certainly have a great future as a scholar and writer.” –Coomi Kapoor, Contributing Editor, The Indian Express “Extremely well-written blogs… You have brought out so clearly the role played by fate and destiny in this story of the star-crossed lovers while also drawing attention to the manner in which character determines the crucial choices made by the protagonists. Your analysis of the paradox of a love story interspersed with violence was also very interesting. You evidently have the ability and the inclination to look at Shakespeare’s plays critically. Wonderful and so unusual in a young person today. Do keep writing.” –Dr. Ranjana Kaul, Associate Professor, Delhi University

Book Description
When letters don’t seem to make sense to a child, when he squirms in his seat and can hardly sit still, and when he has difficulty in communicating or may have an ‘unacceptable’ habit, what do we do? Indira Roy Mandal, specialising in child psychology, addresses some of these sensitive issues and goes an extra mile to help parents, caregivers and teachers to think about these challenges dealing with childhood disorders as well as accepting them. ‘Catch them young and seek help at the earliest’ is her mantra. Many such stories in the book may be your story. We need to assure ourselves that the road begins from here and it is a journey of self-realization and learning. During the pandemic-induced lockdown times, it is the children who are the worst hit and suffer silently, emoting behind their gadgets. Depression, suicidal ideations, anxiety and obsessive-compulsive disorders are on the rise. The author provides certain pointers on how to keep up with the child’s mental as well as physical state, to help them evolve as well-balanced, socially productive and responsible individuals.
