Book excerpt: "A thing of beauty. . . . You must read it."—Nadeem Aslam "A shower of pleasures."—Julia O'Faolain "Sophisticated, cosmopolitan and seductive, the novel engages mind and senses alike."—André Naffis-Sahely, The Times Literary Supplement Like his parents, he too spent many hours sending cloud messages to other places, messages of longing for something that he knew existed otherwhere. London, that distant rainy place his father lived in once, is where Mehran finds himself after leaving Karachi in his teens. And it is there that his adult life unfolds: he discovers the joys of poetry, faces the trials of love and work, and spends his dreaming hours "sending cloud messages to other places," hoping, one day, to tell his own story. A feeling of not quite belonging anywhere pursues Mehran as he travels to Italy, India, and Pakistan. But the relationships he forms—with wounded, passionate Marvi, volatile Marco, and the enigmatic Riccarda—and his power of recollection finally bring him some sense, however fleeting, of home. Aamer Hussein was born in Karachi in 1955 and moved to London in his teens. He lectures at the University of Southampton and the Institute of English Studies and is a fellow of the Royal Society of Literature. His novella Another Gulmohar Tree was shortlisted for the Commonwealth Writers' Prize Europe and South Asia 2010.

Download or read book Cloud Messenger written by Karen Trollope-Kumar and published by FriesenPress. This book was released on 2016-10-06 with total page 349 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As a Canadian medical student, Karen Trollope-Kumar went to India to study social and preventive medicine and met a young pediatrician named Pradeep. His dream of working in the Himalayan foothills captured her imagination, and the man captured her heart. They married in a Hindu wedding ceremony and pledged to share a life of service and spiritual growth. In this poignant, heartwarming, and gently humorous memoir, Karen recounts an eleven-year chapter of their unusual lives. She and Pradeep worked as medical doctors in the Himalayas, first in a rural hospital and later in remote mountain villages. When disaster struck -- an assassination, an earthquake, a political crisis -- their ideals, their safety, and their relationship are put at risk. The Cloud Messenger is a story of adventure and idealism, culture and medicine, faith and love, and it raises enduring questions: How can we cross religious and cultural boundaries? What happens to our dreams in the face of danger and disillusionment? And when dreams diverge, when one spouse can no longer continue on a certain path, what path do we choose?

Download or read book The Cloud of Longing written by Rick Jarow and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2021 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Cloud of Longing is a translation and full-length study of the great Sanskrit poet Kālidāsa's famed Meghadūta (literally: "The Cloud Messenger") with a focus on its interfacing of nature, feeling, figurative language, and mythic memory. While the Meghadūta has been translated a number of times, the last "almost academic" translation was published in 1976 (Leonard Nathan, The Transport of Love: The Meghadūta of Kālidāsa). This volume, however, is more than an Indological translation. It is a study of the text in light of both classical Indian and contemporary Western literary theory, and it is aimed at lovers of poetry and poetics and students of world literature. It seeks to widen the arena of literary and poetic studies to include classic works of Asian traditions. It also looks at the poem's imaginative portrayals of "nature" and "environment" from perspectives that have rarely been considered"--

Book excerpt: Kalidasa is the major poet and dramatist of classical Sanskrit literature - a many-sided talent of extraordinary scope and exquisite language. His great poem, Meghadutam (The Cloud Messenger), tells of a divine being, punished for failing in his sacred duties with a years' separation from his beloved.

This beautiful blend of romance and comedy, transports its audience into an enchanted world in which mortals mingle with gods. And Kalidasa's poem Rtusamharam (The Gathering of the Seasons) is an exuberant observation of the sheer variety of the natural world, as it teems with the energies of the great god Siva.

Book excerpt: Mrityunjay, a senior Indian Police Service officer of poetic sensibility, gives a contemporary glimpse of the unfathomable pathos of sunderance suffered by Yaksha and idyllic portrayal of geosocial life of North India in Kalidasa's Meghdoot (The Cloud Messenger) through the verses of original Sanskrit classic written in AD 4-5 Century. With leaning towards literature, music and history, Mrityunjay is able to converse in 6 languages - i.e. Bhojpuri, Hindi, English, Nepali, Bengali and Bahasa-Indonesia, and aspires to learn French soon. Having varied experience of human living in his country, diverse cultures during his diplomatic assignments abroad and exposure to a motley of literature and history, He learnt to look for romance amidst the tragic folds of life. He started exploring symbols and images of history and classics in the light of paradoxes of modernity and evolution. The present creation is his maiden work in English aiming to resurrect and rejuvenate the classical work of Kalidasa in the language of today's life and people. Mrityunjay has done his Masters in Political Science from University of Delhi, India and passed All India Services' Exams to become a member of the premium Indian bureaucracy. He is awarded with the President of India Medal for Meritorious Service and 'Kalakar Award' for 'Best music in Regional Language'. He was recently commended by the Indian Ambassador to Indonesia for his contributions in organizing 'Festival of India' in Indonesia in 2009-10 to work out innovative ways for breaking new grounds of people to people contact, collaborations and sharing to facilitate deeper understanding of diverse views and cultures.
