Download or read book Yayaati written by Mahesh Vaze and published by Notion Press. This book was released on 2020-01-13 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reviews: The sardonic personality of the author is reflected in his writing. A treasure trove of information has brightly illuminated the frame of reference of the characters. I loved the book; it's an easy read and yet the author offers original insights into our social and cultural idiosyncrasies. Like they say in our profession - 'strongly recommend' - R Srinivasan, Head of Equity, SBI Mutual Funds A lucid, and at times provocative narration of the life of an investment professional with some desi colour that provides a ringside view of an exhilarating milieu in Indian economy. The unique style of the author makes each character in the story come alive. - Mahesh Patil, Co-Chief Investment Officer, Birla Mutual Fund About the book: When Yayaati, a pre-millennial ‘small-towner’ takes up a stockbroking job in Mumbai after his MBA, little does he know what the future has in store for him. The turmoil and turbulence of the Indian stock market, narrated by Yayaati (named after a character from the Mahabharat) takes you through a roller coaster of emotions. Fiction and reality intertwine, and the reader experiences what it must have been like to be in a high-voltage, electrifying environment that changes and influences the protagonist’s life in myriad ways. Power, sex, drugs—it’s all here, and more. And at its height, Yayaati throws it all away. Or does he? Yayaati is not a hero, but he is not a villain either. The author shows a mirror to ‘The Yayaati Generation’ and forces them to think about the choices they have made. Most of the character names are allegorical, some ironically so. At a higher level, the text is a treasure hunt with varied references buried within. The author attempts to both amuse and annoy the reader; sometimes simultaneously.

Book excerpt: The story of Yayati is perhaps one of the most intriguing and fascinating episodes of Mahabharata. Yayati was a great scholar and one of the noblest rulers of olden times. He followed the shastras and was devoted to the welfare of his subjects. Even the King of Gods, Indra, held him in high esteem. Married to seductively beautiful Devayani, in love with her maid Sharmishtha, and father of five sons from two women, yet Yayati unabashedly declares, 'My lust for pleasure is unsatisfied...' His quest for the carnal continued, sparing not even his youngest son, and exchanging his old age for his son's youth... Winner of the Jnanpith and Sahitya Akademi Awards.

Download or read book Languages and Literary Cultures in Hyderabad written by Kousar J Azam and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-08-09 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is great interest in recent scholarship in the study of metropolitan cultures in India as evident from the number of books that have appeared on cities such as Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai and Kolkata. Though Hyderabad has a rich archive of history scattered in many languages, very few attempts have been made to bring this scholarship together. The papers in this volume bring together this scholarship at one place. They trace the contribution of different languages and literary cultures to the multicultural mosaic that is the city of Hyderabad How it has acquired this uniqueness and how it has been sustained is the subject matter of literary cultures in Hyderabad. This work attempts to trace some aspects of the history of major languages practiced in the city. It also reviews the contribution of the various linguistic groups that have added to the development not just of varied literary cultures, but also to the evolution of an inclusive Hyderabadi culture. The present volume, it is hoped, will enthuse both younger and senior scholars and students to take a fresh look at the study of languages and literary cultures as they have evolved in India's cities and add to the growing scholarship of metropolitan cultures in India.
