Download or read book Cricket Kathas written by Mahesh Kutty and published by Notion Press. This book was released on 2022-10-19 with total page 85 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In our country, cricketers are revered as demigods, and the game is more of a religion than a sport. Needless to say, fans are yearning for anecdotes about cricketers both on and off the field. ‘Cricket Kathas’ is the ideal book for cricket enthusiasts. There are intriguing tales about several champion cricketers who inspired many of us to enjoy the game. The stories do not just feature Indian players, but also those from Australia, Pakistan, England, Sri Lanka, the West Indies and New Zealand. Don Bradman is widely regarded as the greatest batsman in history, but only a few people are aware that he was also an exceptional billiards player. In fact, he vanquished World Champion Walter Lindrum without even giving him a chance. Most of us who grew up watching cricket in the 1970s and 1980s wondered if Vivian Richards would have been successful against his own fast bowlers. Richards and Marshall once fought hard in a county match that will go down in history as one of the most epic battles in county cricket. Nobody can dispute Sachin Tendulkar’s brilliance, but how many of his ardent fans are aware that he once batted in the nets with his eyes closed? These and other incredible stories are collected in ‘Cricket Kathas’.

Download or read book Katha written by Urvashi Butalia and published by Saqi. This book was released on 2013-01-02 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Women's stories in India have been handed down from generation to generation, enriched and embroidered along the way. Political change and the arrival of print culture meant that storytelling was pushed into the background. But in more recent times, these voices have once again come centre-stage - confident, varied and complex. Spanning half a century, this collection covers many languages and cultures, and reflects the vast and complex cultures of the country and its diaspora. It offers a view of the changes that have taken place, both in terms of the subjects women choose to write about and their preferred way of writing about these subjects. From established names such as Mahashveta Devi to the newer generation of young authors, such as Tishani Doshi, Katha brings to the reader a vivid array of voices.
Download or read book Katha Vilasam written by S Ramakrishnan and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-10-24 with total page 237 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Katha Vilasam: The Story Within offers a path-breaking series of 50 articles by S. Ramakrishnan, published over the course of four years in the widely read Tamil magazine Ananda Vikatan, to a wider reading public through translation into English. The writing style is intentionally direct and compact to suit a magazine readership. Nevertheless, the prose is elevating, even lyrical at times. There are “Aha” moments aplenty. The author uses a unique device in these units. They are “stories within stories”. In each unit, he describes an incident from his own experience and relates it to a short story he has read by a particular eminent Tamil writer. He paraphrases/summarises the writer’s story, melds it into his own reminiscence, and allows the two to resonate and create a musical signature in the reader’s mind. Thus, 50 noted short story writers in the Tamil language are featured here. The avowed purpose of the author was to introduce the readers of Ananda Vikatan (who may have been readers of nothing but magazines) to also delve into the works of excellent Tamil short story writers. The series ran for four years and was very well received by readers. Each unit deserves to be read and re-read not only for the insights and information about writers in different genres, but for the word wizardry and imagery that flow effortlessly through the lines. It is hoped that this English translation will teleport these unique offerings to a wider reading public and bring the works of excellent Tamil writers into the lives of discriminating lovers of literature everywhere.

Download or read book Sport in South Asian Society written by Boria Majumdar and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-09-13 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A detailed study of sports' arrival, spread and advance in colonial and post-colonial South Asia. A selection of articles addresses critical issues of nationalism, communalism, commercialism and gender through the lens of sport. This book makes the point that the social histories of South Asian sport cannot be understood by simply looking at the history of the game in one province or region. Furthermore, it demonstrates that it would be wrong to understand sport in terms of the exigencies of the colonial state. Drawing inspiration from C.L.R. James' well-known epigram, 'What do they know of cricket who only cricket know?' the findings suggest that South Asian sport makes sense only when it is placed within the broader colonial and post-colonial context. The book demonstrates that sport not only influences politics and vice versa, but that the two are inseparable. Sport is not only political, it is politics, intrigue, culture and art. To deny this is to denigrate the position of sport in modern South Asian society. This volume was previously published as a special issue of The International Journal of the History of Sport.

Download or read book In So Many Words written by Aparna Basu and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2020-12-17 with total page 219 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume will mark a new trend in dealing with women’s varied experiences of life: individual introductions situate the narrator in a context – and then her voice takes over, with no intervention from the editors (except to provide footnotes wherever necessary). The personal narrative — be it an autobiography, a letter or a diary — has come to be recognised as an acceptable data source in history and social science. Literary critics and students of literature too find considerable use in reading the personal writings of poets, fiction and crime writers. In this book, readings of personal narratives help in painting various images of lives that we can only know at second hand. The mélange includes memoirs, published articles, ‘portraits from memory’, a collection of essays , and an oral interview. In all, the self was the focus. The writings of Sailabala, Li Gotami, and Shakuntala go beyond a recounting of their lives and deal with spiritual and travel experiences. Three of the essays are excerpts from published autobiographies — Sarala Devi Chaudhurani’s Jeevaner Jharapata (Life’s Fallen Leaves), Kalpana Dutt’s Reminiscences and Sailabala Das’s A Look Before and After. Vidyagauri Nilkanth’s writings are essays and a selection of amazingly candid letters exchanged with her husband. Anasuya Sarabahi’s is an interview in Gujarati with niece Gira and Monica’s a selection from an unpublished memoir. Li Gotami, whose original name was Rutty Petit, travelled to Manasarovar, and a few of the magazine articles on this amazing journey have been reproduced here. Whichever form a woman chooses, writing about her self, is emancipatory; she may be a person who has so far received little attention from the family or the world. Or she may be one who is a well-known public figure – yet little is known about her childhood. So she writes about many selves – life is not about one coherent self but rather one of many lives and experiences. In other words,
