The hunt
In India’s North-East, an elephant is on the rampage. Stalking Assam’s paddy fields, he has killed dozens of farmers, crushing their bodies and mutilating them. Local forestry officers, powerless to stop him, issue a warrant for the rogue’s destruction and call in the one man equipped to bring an end to the killing.

The other side of Indian economy
Amit Bhaduri, contends that we have abjectly surrendered to the conventional wisdom of our time—that there is no alternative to corporations and the type of globalization that they lead. The result, he warns, will not be a freer market and more freedom, but a disastrous and deepening chasm between the India of privilege and the India of crushing poverty.
This is a collection of essays that draws attention to the other India that we turn away from. It is fiercely critical of financial liberalization, corporate-led globalization and neoliberalism that celebrate unregulated free trade. The essays together make for a forceful critique of India’s economic policies.

The wisdom of the ancient as well as an analysis of the self have been blended together to achieve practical as well as spiritual enlightenment.

A parrot’s journey
The perky parrot Tiya’s secure world is shattered when he hears an unknown voice urging him to leave his home, the old banyan tree. As he launches into an adventure-filled journey through strange lands, meeting fantastic creatures along the way, Tiya comes to terms with his strengths and weaknesses. He discovers that no one in this universe is ordinary, and that life is a series of experiences that ultimately unshackle you from your own narrow existence. It is up to you to take on this adventure and come out of it as a free spirit.
This is irreverent and inspiring at the same time. Written by a monk with several years of learning and experience as a teacher, it is an imaginative rendering of Vedantic and Yoga philosophy.
