Download or read book My Dear Bapu written by Gopalkrishna Gandhi and published by Penguin UK. This book was released on 2012-10-05 with total page 402 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nine years younger than Gandhi, Chakravarti Rajagopalachari or Rajaji was described by him as his "conscience keeper" and, at one time, as his "only possible successor". As his southern general, Rajaji campaigned for freedom, promoting khadi and prohibition. Though they shared nearly thirty years of colleagueship, hardship, friendship—and kinship, when daughter Lakshmi married Devadas Gandhi, Rajaji remained throughout a man of his own mind. The eighty odd largely unpublished letters from this contrarian statesman to his leader, Mahatma Gandhi, and those to his son-in-law Devadas Gandhi and to his grandson, that are presented here come from family archives and public repositories and cover the years from 1920 to 1955, in the run-up to Independence and its early years. Described are the struggles and endeavours, large and small, made in the public arena, besides the inner world of friends, of home and hearth, with both spheres coalescing seamlessly. Frank, brave—at times, bitter, the letters are remarkably free of recrimination or anything that would diminish the dialogue. Observed always is the healthy respect of the freedom to differ, to persuade, to agree to disagree, but never to let down or part. Complied, edited and annotated by Gopalkrishna Gandhi, in a manner he believes his father, Devadas, would have approved, these letters are accompanied by a deeply felt and illuminating introduction. They offer us a rare glimpse into the lives of two of the tallest Indians of our age, when idealism rode strong but was also challenged.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Sundara Kaanda of the Ramayana, Hanuman takes the most perilous leap across cryptic waters... And Baabi is no less; always leaping over unmapped troubles. In a little village called Vakkalanka in Andhra Pradesh, where he spends his childhood, Baabi comes upon various adventures. But who would have thought losing merely 15 rupees would turn his life around? His financial conflicts toss him into a life of savage waters at the mere age of thirteen. Abandoning his pleasant life back home and his first true love, he travels to Hyderabad to make a living at a time when most kids don't have to brood about anything in their carefree lives. As he advances into becoming a youth of unyielding character, fate is never easy on him. His character, tarnished by scheming minds and friends, is driven to go far away. His stint as a drama artist earns him a great name in Bombay, yet, he remains a star-crossed man always overcome with problems. His daredevil exploits of the most direful kind test the very core of his resilience, like the ocean tests Hanuman. And so he leaps... through the most devilish of paths with withered slippers, leaving a trail of his manful blood along his journey of grave peril.

Book excerpt: Young, free-spirited Maya Mubeen leaves behind the pressures of family, marriage and tradition for a life of experience and adventure — proving to herself, and her mother, that she is anything but a typical Indian girl.

An ancient chai-making ritual holds the key to Maya’s past and present, unlocking the secret lives of her mother, Nina, who lived through Idi Amin’s rule in Uganda, her grandmother, Nargis, forced into marriage at thirteen, her great-grandmother, Sukaina, an underground radical socialist who fled an abusive husband, and lastly, her great-great grandmother, Zainab, who left behind a luxurious life in India.

Download or read book City Improbable Writings R E written by Khushwant and published by Penguin Books India. This book was released on 2010-09 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ‘Delhi is the twin of pure paradise, a prototype of the heavenly throne on an earthlyscroll’—Amir Khusrau A city of contradictions, where ancient traditions and modern aspirations jostle for space, Delhi has often been compared to a phoenix rising from the ashes. Its three thousand years of eventful history have witnessed the rise and fall of several empires, a process that continues today. City Improbable brings together writings by immigrants, residents, refugees, travellers and invaders who have engaged with India’s capital over different epochs. Babur shares his earliest experience of the city and Amir Khusrau praises the fine lads of Delhi; Ibn Battuta and Niccolao Manucci record the glories and follies of prominent rulers; William Dalrymple and Khushwant Singh provide intriguing accounts of the threshold period that saw the coming of the British and the waning of the Mughals. Poets and storytellers—Meer Taqi Meer, Ghalib, Yashpal, Kamleshwar, Ruskin Bond—narrate their versions of the city. Contemporary Delhi is featured in a variety of vignettes: the bureaucracy, the Emergency, the anti-Sikh violence, lovers and joggers in Lodi Gardens, the city’s Sufi legacy as well as its changing cuisine. Among the new pieces in this expanded edition are Sam Miller’s account of his experiences in the suburb of Noida, Manto’s story about a girl from Delhi leaving the city during Partition, Jarnail Singh’s unflinching recollection of the massacre of Sikhs in 1984, a photo essay on Shahpur Jat by Karoki Lewis, and a composite narrative by the young writers of the Cybermohalla Collective about the making of a resettlement colony.
