In its purest form Sikhism is about unity, simplicity, equality and surrender (to God), and the verses of the Sikh Gurus—most of them included in the Granth Sahib—articulate this beautifully. This elegantly illustrated edition contains a selection of verses from the Guru Granth Sahib and other sacred texts like Guru Tegh Bahadur’s Vairagmayi Bani and the Dasam Granth of Guru Gobind Singh. Brilliantly translated by Khushwant Singh, leading scholar of Sikh history and culture and best-selling author, these moving mystical hymns retain the immediacy and the lyricism of the originals. In addition, vibrant and imaginative illustrations by Arpana Caur, one of India’s most celebrated artists, make this a collection to treasure."</span></div><div align="justify"><span style="color:#ff0000;">Courtesy : Penguin Books India </span><br /></div><br /><div></div>अखिलेश शुक्लhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15550022760896923056noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9180729006110600378.post-85552351391683648552008-11-08T05:20:00.000-08:002008-11-08T06:05:46.959-08:00A women's Detactive novel from Roli books<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTudulcQH01uFis0KUx2mtptkIuZY_ccUDOEp_0cqXLRel98-TJ2JMupd4A-tLco8gAd2UiGgi-3ofOkEZg2JMXq-Wi34nsVbX43XB0LOiE76VQxNmC_yN_BiN4_SC6NHjBiIFprW5-Rw/s1600-h/the+page+3+murders.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5266281814524758546" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 115px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 134px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTudulcQH01uFis0KUx2mtptkIuZY_ccUDOEp_0cqXLRel98-TJ2JMupd4A-tLco8gAd2UiGgi-3ofOkEZg2JMXq-Wi34nsVbX43XB0LOiE76VQxNmC_yN_BiN4_SC6NHjBiIFprW5-Rw/s320/the+page+3+murders.jpg" border="0" /></a> <strong><span style="font-size:180%;color:#6600cc;">The Page 3 Murders</span></strong> <div>by <strong><span style="font-size:130%;color:#cc0000;"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Kalpana</span> <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Swaminathan</span></span></strong></div><div><span style="color:#3366ff;">This readable <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">Bestseller</span> is published by <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">Roli</span> Books</span></div><div align="justify"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">Lalli</span>, a retired police officer, has been invited to a weekend party at <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">Ardeshir</span> Villa.

She sees herself as increasingly off the shelf—after all what prospects would an impoverished girl have without a father to marry her off? Then, unexpectedly, a proposal arrives. Ananda is a dentist in Halifax, Canada. He has spent his twenties painstakingly building his career, and has had no time to get married. The two start to write to each other, then talk on the phone, and finally Ananda arrives in New Delhi to propose. At first uncertain, Nina eventually agrees. When the two marry, she leaves her home and her country to build a new life with her husband. But there is always more to marriage than courtship. And as Nina discovers truths about her husband - both sexual and emotional - her fragile new life in Canada begins to unravel. No one writes about middle class family life with the nuance and tenderness of Manju Kapur.

You bust your ass and become a millionaire by thirty, of course. Not if you are Samrat Ratan, born in the USA to immigrant Indian parents; you quit and enrol in business school in India instead. Samrat's rollercoaster journey begins at the Indian Institute of Management (IIM) in Bangalore, where he spends his time getting high on marijuana while his grades – and self-confidence – plummet. Soon, Samrat's quest for identity turns increasingly bizarre as it takes him places he hadn't planned on visiting – prison, for example – and makes him do things he hadn't banked on doing: 'meditating' stoned with a sexy Danish hippie in the Himalayas, hanging out with a cannibal on the banks of the Ganga, and peddling soap to the formidable Raja Bhaiya in Benares.

According to Penguin Books India :-</div><div>The first in Amitav Ghosh’s new trilogy of novels, Sea of Poppies is a stunningly vibrant and intensely human work that confirms his reputation as a master storyteller. At the heart of this epic saga is a vast ship, the Ibis. Its destiny is a tumultuous voyage across the Indian Ocean to the Mauritius Islands. As to the people on board, they are a motley array of sailors and stowaways, coolies and convicts. In a time of colonial upheaval in the mid nineteenth century, fate has thrown together a truly diverse cast of Indians and Westerners, from a bankrupt Raja to a widowed village-woman, from a mulatto American freedman to a free-spirited European orphan. As they sail down the Hooghly and into the sea, their old family ties are washed away, and they view themselves as jahaj-bhais, or ship-brothers, who will build whole new lives for themselves in the remote islands where they are being taken. It is the beginning of an unlikely dynasty.The sweep of this historical adventure spans the lush poppy fields by the Ganga, the rolling high seas, and the exotic backstreets of China at the time of the Opium Wars. But it is the panorama of characters, whose diaspora encapsulates the vexed colonial history of the East itself, which makes Sea of Poppies so breathtakingly alive—a masterpiece from one of the world's finest novelists </div><div>A fiction for your reading table.

Other buildings may be as famous but no other has been so consistently admired for a beauty that is seen as both feminine and regal. Imperial tomb, symbol of India, symbol of love, brand of tea-the Taj can be what you want it to be. Drawing on a huge range of sources from Mughal court histories to Bollywood movies, this superb book gives us a history of the Taj and its many meanings.Giles Tillotson recounts the human drama behind the building, particularly the relationship between Shah Jahan and his beloved wife Mumtaz Mahal, who lie there. He explores its reputation through history as a Wonder of the World, its representation in art, and analyses the secrets of its architectural success. He describes the troubled story of its conservation and records the recent disputes about its ownership, treatment and exploitation.The Taj holds a secure place in the world’s collective consciousness; Taj Mahal is a rigorous and vivid account of how this came to be.</strong></div><div><strong><span style="font-size:130%;color:#6600cc;">Please write your valuable openion & view abouth Taj Mahal (non-Fiction)</span></strong></div>अखिलेश शुक्लhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15550022760896923056noreply@blogger.com0
