L.K. Advani, Foreward by Atal Bihari Vajpayee

Rupa & Co., 2008

An overview of (modern) Indian political history
This book is an exceptional compendium of the post-1947 history of (the Republic of) India. As far as the biography genre goes, it is neither as personal as Boswell, nor as humorous as Rousseau, and lacks the romantic-artistic insights of Berlioz. But then the author is no artist; instead one learns of a true patriot's efforts to serve his country. This account is unique, not only because of its ...

Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam
I collect this work in different formats. This particular book is very good. I recommend everyone reading the Rubaiyat at least once in their lifetime. It is an excellent poetic examination of Man's purpose and Man's relation with God. One can appreciate the Rubaiyat only for its beautiful poetic images or explore it over and over for its deeper philosophical nuances. The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam ...

Intelligent Endings

an undiscovered masterpiece
I stumbled upon this delightful book when I was visiting India recently. Intelligent Endings was written by an American diplomat living in India. This collection is, without question, the most creative, compelling and entertaining book of short stories I have read in many years. Surprisingly enough, none of the stories take place in India. All are set in America, and feature an absolutely ...

House in Ranikhet
Keki N. Daruwalla

Rupa & Co, 2003

This book contains sixteen stories, including a cluster of stories around a group of characters in Ranikhet. The locales are far-flung, both in space and time. His characters are vulnerable people, sometimes overwhelmed by circumstance. His concerns are centered on how dream and fable, myth and memory, forge a reality of their own and make people act and stumble in the way they do. Daruwalla is interested in what lies behind the facade.

Difficult path to Moksha
The book unfolds with each story , the theme being the same...all attachment and ego will always ultimately cause pain. The book highlights that there is no short cut to peace , that no religion can hasten your reaching enlightenment.........and at each stage one HAS to work through continuously with equanimity. Great book......no big elements ,just facts bringing out the true Buddhist school ...
