Download or read book Encounter with Kiran Fragments from a Relationship written by Nayantara Sahgal and published by Speaking Tiger Books. This book was released on 2021-10-20 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Description When they first met in 2002 at a literary festival, Nayantara Sahgal was a veteran of more than twenty books; her debut work, the memoir Prison and Chocolate Cake, was published in 1954. Kiran Nagarkar had published his first novel, Saat Sakkam Trechalis, in Marathi in 1974, and his first work in English, Ravan and Eddie, twenty years later. Sparks didn't fly at that first encounter. It was only in 2014, when Nagarkar wrote to Sahgal about Mistaken Identity and other books of hers that he had read, that she invited him to lunch at her home in Dehradun- and thus began a correspondence that lasted until Nagarkar's death in 2019. As they discussed each other's work, their almost daily exchange of emails grew into a sharing of concerns: Nagarkar's chronic ill-health, Sahgal's grief on the death of her 23-year-old grandson, Zum, and through it all, their distress at the rise of violent majoritarianism and the loss of democratic ideals in their beloved country. Emails don't, observes Sahgal, 'have the prestige of letters, but they have an immediacy that letters can't have. Our mails made for the sense of a presence nearby with whom it became natural to share views, feelings and daily doings'. United by their love of books and their politics, separated by distance-Nagarkar in Mumbai, Sahgal in Dehradun-this immediacy was the key to a friendship that remains an enigma to an outsider. For Sahgal, the emotions appear to be those of a friend, albeit a close and loving one. For Nagarkar, 72 to Sahgal's 87 when the correspondence began, the feelings run deeper; he misses her constantly, and proclaims his love. This collection of mails is a rare and poignant document, an intimate glimpse into the life and times of two extraordinary writers who drew strength from each other in their personal and political battles.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the National Book Critics Circle Award and the Man Booker Prize: An “extraordinary” novel “lit by a moral intelligence at once fierce and tender” (The New York Times Book Review). In a crumbling, isolated house at the foot of Mount Kanchenjunga in the Himalayas, an embittered old judge wants only to retire in peace. But his life is upended when his sixteen-year-old orphaned granddaughter, Sai, arrives on his doorstep. The judge’s chatty cook watches over the girl, but his thoughts are mostly with his son, Biju, hopscotching from one miserable New York restaurant job to another, trying to stay a step ahead of the INS. When a Nepalese insurgency threatens Sai’s new-sprung romance with her tutor, the household descends into chaos. The cook witnesses India’s hierarchy being overturned and discarded. The judge revisits his past and his role in Sai and Biju’s intertwining lives. In a grasping world of colliding interests and conflicting desires, every moment holds out the possibility for hope or betrayal. Published to extraordinary acclaim, The Inheritance of Loss heralds Kiran Desai as one of our most insightful novelists. She illuminates the pain of exile and the ambiguities of postcolonialism with a tapestry of colorful characters and “uncannily beautiful” prose (O: The Oprah Magazine). “A book about tradition and modernity, the past and the future—and about the surprising ways both amusing and sorrowful, in which they all connect.” —The Independent
Download or read book Ravan and Eddie written by Kiran Nagarkar and published by New York Review of Books. This book was released on 2012-12-11 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ravan and Eddie are the unlikeliest of companions. For one thing, Ravan is Hindu, while Eddie is Catholic. For another, when Ravan was a baby and fell from a balcony, that fall had a dramatic, and very literal, impact on Eddie’s family. But Ravan and Eddie both live in Central Works Department Chawl No. 17—and if you grow up in the crowded Mumbai chawls, you get to participate in your neighbors' lives, whether you like it or not. As we watch the two unlikely heroes of Kiran Nagarkar's acclaimed novel rocket out of the starting blocks of their lives, leaving earth-mothers and absentee fathers, cataclysms and rock ’n’ roll in their wake, we're compelled to sit up and take notice. Recently selected by The Guardian as one of the ten best novels about Mumbai, Ravan and Eddie is a comic masterpiece about two larger- and truer-than-life characters and their bawdy, Rabelaisian adventures in postcolonial India. It is also a timeless journey of self-discovery, a quest for the meaning of guilt and responsibility, sin and sex, crime and punishment.
Download or read book Relationship written by Nayantara Sahgal and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2008-08-25 with total page 301 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this exchange of letters dating from an extremely turbulent period of their lives, Nayantara Sahgal and E.N. Mangat Rai, two very public figures who had remained at the same time intensely private, broke their self-imposed silence for the first time.When Relationship was first published in 1994, it was received with varying degrees of shock and appreciation. This newly revised edition includes all of the correspondence carried in the previous one, with a short but significant addition: Diary from Chandigarh is an honest and often emotionally wrenching account of Nayantara's life with her husband and children before the break-up.Both the diary and the letters highlight one woman's endeavour to remain true to herself, her writing, her ideals and relationships, both outside and within marriage. They speak of a growing and passionate involvement, of the author's joy and pain at discovering an intellectual companionship while recognizing the difficulties of keeping such a relationship alive. They reflect too, on the dilemmas and compulsions that bind men and women into particular relationships, and the exigencies of public life and its implications for the private sphere.A mirror of the times when a kind of idealism and commitment still seemed possible, Relationship gives the reader an insight into the life and thoughts of one of India's most successful writers, and one of the most distinguished civil servants of his generation

Book excerpt: In a city where the echoes of the past whispered through every alley and hidden corner, three souls found themselves entangled in a story woven by the fires of passion and the shadows of betrayal. Little did they know that their destinies were eternally bound, and the choices they made would set in motion a journey of redemption that transcended the boundaries of time. The studio, perched atop the bustling city, served as a witness to their unfolding drama. It was a place where art became the silent confidant, capturing the hues of love, turmoil, and transformation on its canvases. In this sanctuary, Sita, a passionate artist; kiran, a man with a mysterious past; and poorni, a figure veiled in enigma, will confront the complexities of their interconnected hearts. As the trio navigated the intricacies of their shared history, the canvas became a mirror reflecting the dance of emotions that unfolded within them. The bonfire in the hidden garden, a symbol of both destruction and renewal, marked the stages of their journey—each flame a testament to the fires of passion that threatened to consume and the redemptive embrace that offered a chance at healing. In the whispers of destiny, they discovered a path that led beyond the shadows of betrayal. The phoenix, with its wings outstretched, emerged as a symbol of their collective resilience—a beacon guiding them through the challenges that lay ahead. As the trio stood at the precipice of a new chapter, the city lights below mirrored the infinite possibilities that awaited. This is the prologue of their story, where embers of a forgotten tale come alive, and the fires of passion set the stage for a journey that will unravel the intricacies of love, betrayal, and the eternal bonds that transcend the boundaries of time. Little did they know that their destinies were intertwined in ways they could never have imagined, and the echoes of their shared history would resonate through the pages of a tale yet to be written.
