Book Description
This is the story of a smart but a vulnerable girl, who had made her own ‘touch me not world’. She was known to end up in unexpected situations, sometimes good and sometimes worst. The brim of life broke down when she was put down to face the bitter truth, the rage of money, the thinking of people around, and a realization of past mishaps. Struggling alone in a closed room was tough, but God did some good deeds too. She was blessed with a mentor, a lover, an admirer of her deeds, a publisher of her views, and a pace-maker for her crackling beats. But as said, it can’t be a simple boy; she ends up falling for her own cousin, who had been brought up in a small city like Allahabad. Things were flowery among them under the nose of creepy uncles and aunts until the fatal hour. Society is brutal, not just for girls, even men are a hampered specie, probably society is all about elders and their confined way of thinking, and the sanity demanded to amend their thought process is the ‘out-of-stock’ thing in their market. This is a story of, fight for self-establishment, being smashed by the rules and regulations of the society, the struggle to keep a killed love alive, gathering back of torn away pieces, a push to make a new story, the strength injected by friendship, the insanity of departure. In short a story where every turn is unpredictable and every line is truly done with many dried up tears.

I Came Upon a Lighthouse
Author: Shantanu Naidu
Publisher: Harper Collins
ISBN: 9390327539
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 223
Book Description
An endearing portrait of an Indian legend I told him that when I write a book, I would write about another side of him and not just historic events or business milestones. I would write about us and our adventures together, and how I saw him, colours and shades of him unknown to the world. Life beyond the great steel wall of 'industry doyen'. He agreed. 'There cannot be one book that captures everything ... So you do your thing, give your perspective.' It was their shared empathy for homeless dogs that sparked an unlikely friendship. In 2014, Shantanu Naidu, an automobile design engineer in his early twenties, developed an innovation to save the local strays from being run over by speeding cars. Ratan Tata, himself known for his compassion for stray dogs, took note. Impressed, he not only decided to invest in the venture, but over the years became a mentor, boss and an unexpectedly dear friend to Shantanu. I Came Upon a Lighthouse is an honest, light-hearted telling of this uncommon bond between a millennial and an octogenarian that gives glimpses of a beloved Indian icon in a warm light.

Why Loiter?
Author: Shilpa Phadke
Publisher: Penguin Books India
ISBN: 0143415956
Category : Feminism
Languages : en
Pages : 295
Book Description
Presenting an original take on women’s safety in the cities of twenty-first century India, Why Loiter? maps the exclusions and negotiations that women from different classes and communities encounter in the nation’s urban public spaces. Basing this book on more than three years of research in Mumbai, Shilpa Phadke, Sameera Khan and Shilpa Ranade argue that though women’s access to urban public space has increased, they still do not have an equal claim to public space in the city. And they raise the question: can women’s access to public space be viewed in isolation from that of other marginal groups? Going beyond the problem of the real and implied risks associated with women’s presence in public, they draw from feminist theory to argue that only by celebrating loitering—a radical act for most Indian women—can a truly equal, global city be created.
