Download or read book A Mango Tree in the Courtyard written by Shweta Gour and published by . This book was released on 2019-06-29 with total page 105 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "As a kid, my mind would never wonder about stars, space, and universe, but when it came to people, my curiosity would suddenly blossom into a plant from a sleeping seed in the back of the brain."The above lines from the story "A Tribute" from this collection aptly summarize me as a kid, as an adult, and as a writer. When looked carefully, I found that people who brush past us daily and the trees and plants who stand and wait, offer a fitting opportunity like books to contemplate on various facets of life. Then, there are some special people and trees providing unique and extraordinary experiences worth putting in a book. The stories have recollections, humor, irony, nostalgia, and old acquaintances with a fresh perspective. Some inspirations have been drawn from my life's journey and would resonate with your world as well. "A Mango Tree in the Courtyard," "Reunion" and "Once Upon A Time" would take you on the wild, rough roads of childhood playing hopscotch or lazing around in the company of grandparents. "A Dream in a Dream" is an ode to nature. The story: "A Tribute" has an old, benevolent acquaintance and "The lost Ring" is laced with humor. The stories are presented to you wrapped in some hard facts sprinkled with some glitter of fiction. The second set of stories: "On the Darker Side," are thrillers manifesting in ordinary situations around ordinary people. I Don't intend to scare you but the characters would make you relook at your folks in a peculiar fashion!. Half of the stories in the collection have women as a central character which I did not realize until I penned them, and I am glad I did. The unsure wish of childhood started materializing six months ago when I closed all other options only to let in the ideas. To my surprise, ideas did accept the invitation and started visiting me more and more as I showed up every single day ready to receive them. My dear readers, I am placing my produce into your hands: something I cultivated toiling behind a screen for hours since the last six months. The array of memories and emotions revealed through the daily people in ordinary situations are something that you would love to soak in after braving the traffic and challenges of present times. Every reader, after all, was once a child!

Download or read book Under the Mango Tree written by Tracy Hunter and published by Fulton Books, Inc.. This book was released on 2017-11-07 with total page 31 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This particular book was inspired by my father. He was born and raised in Hilo, Hawaii. As a child, I really did spend many summers going to Hawaii with my grandmother to visit family there. My uncle had a huge mango tree in his backyard, and he would let me pick them just as the girl in the story does. I wanted a children's book that brought out fantasy and imagination for children, as well as taught them something. I have a love for animals and nature, and so I decided to combine trees and animals. My intention is to create a series that will always relate to personal experiences with a different kind of tree and the animals that inhabit them. I was raised in the central coast of California, and so my next book will be about oak trees as our property had many of them as did the surrounding area. I am still contemplating which animal I will choose. Lani's character is inspired by me as a child hanging out in Hawaii. She is a dreamer with a great imagination as I hope all children have. She is also very curious and has a thirst for knowledge, again a hope I want to inspire in children. The bat family characters all have very different character traits, but as a family unit, I think children will find them fun and easy to relate to. The message is simple. Use your imagination, dreaming is a good thing, be curious, and go learn from it, and it is OK that things in life are not always permanent. It just might mean there is something better around the corner, so don't stop looking. Mahalo.

Download or read book The Man Who Learnt to Fly but Could Not Land written by Thachom Poyil Rajeevan and published by Hachette India. This book was released on 2020-08-20 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: K.T.N. Kottoor was activist, lover, communist, friend, saint, sinner – but, above all, he was a writer... Born into a family of rural wealth and near-feudal influence in a village nestled in British Malabar, Koyiloth Thazhe Narayanan Kottoor knows little of want. But as a patriotic fervour grips the country in the last decades of the Raj, a veritable avalanche of new ideas and ideals shapes the young KTN. As he grows from a boy who takes to writing not only as art but also as a tool of social change, to an activist enamoured of varying philosophies and enmeshed in India’s freedom struggle, he grapples with hardship, love, lust and a search for meaning in a reality that forever disappoints. His is a tale both deeply personal and political – tracing a web of caste, sexuality and ideology, while also navigating the struggles of a man coming to terms with himself as a writer and as an individual. Award-winning author Thachom Poyil Rajeevan weaves a magical almost-biography of a fictional writer, one inhabited by goddesses and ghosts, a fortune-telling parrot, dead humans in the avatar of crows, and a blind woman who hears – and sees – better than anyone else. Masterfully translated from the original Malayalam, The Man Who Learnt to Fly but Could Not Land is a poignant exploration of the power of writing, the chaos of a country’s rebirth and the life of an idealist caught up in the maelstrom.
