Spotlight: You’ve Got the Wrong Girl

You’ve Got the Wrong Girl by Sreemoyee Piu Kundu About the book:  On a sultry night, on a deserted lawn overlooking a moonlit Taj Mahal, two strangers make passionate love and promise never to meet again… But promises are meant to be broken, right? This is the story of Dushyant Singh Rathore – the 30-something bestselling author of Kinda Cliched, a blockbuster romance novel based on his one night of bliss with a girl whose name he does not know. Under pressure to produce a money-spinning sequel – from his obsessive fans, his hit-seeking publisher and a sceptical journalist ready to expose the true-story angle as a marketing gimmick – he sets off, three years on, to find the elusive […]

GUEST POST- Welcome to the City of Joy by Nilesh Rathod

GUEST POST- Welcome to the City of Joy by Nilesh Rathod

Welcome to the City of Joy by Nilesh Rathod India is a republic of laughable samples. With that I mean, people, and in that I mean government. They can construe scrupulous ways to invent obstacles, in places you cannot even imagine they can exist. Armed with a liberal dose of faith in a resurgent India, I took a flight to the famed city of Kolkata, the erstwhile head quarter of British East India Company.

BOOK REVIEW: The Lost Generation by Nidhi Dugar Kundalia

BOOK REVIEW: The Lost Generation by Nidhi Dugar Kundalia

Posted February 29, 2016 by @amanhimself in Reviews / 3 Comments

Nidhi Dugar Kundalia’s The Lost Generation: Chronicling India’s Dying Professions is a collection of essays about those professionals who are clinging to their traditional, ancestral trades despite the modern savage affecting the country in an improvisatory manner. The book introduces professions which most of us might not have hear, even though living almost all my life, I haven’t heard them before. One thing about a profession is that it is well suited to those practitioners who have faith in their professions. This what Nidhi, a young journalist based in Kolkata, explores traveling all around the nation. Her writing is a depth insight on professions such rudaalis, the women who are hired to cry when some rich person dies, the street […]
