Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. The misdeeds of the vice-chancellor and the autocratic ways of the principal caused the National Engineering College to degenerate. It was restored to the path of progress by the efforts of Goraknadh who staked his life in that endeavor. At the pre-marital visit of the bridegroom Mukhesh and his father Ambareesh to Goraknadh's house for a meeting with his daughter and bride, Jahnavi. The groom misbehaved and left abruptly because he heard rumors that she was in love with a Harijan. His allegation made her begin loving him. Construction of vedavyas's house began. During excavation for the foundation a Shiv Ling surfaced; a temporary shelter was built for it which served as a Shiv temple. It accentuated religious fervor among people. Sailaja and Niranjan loved each other. Realizing how conservative their parents were, they gave up the idea of marriage. She was permitted to invite all her friends for her wedding. War suddenly erupted between Pakistan and India, one day before Sailaja's marriage. Because of the absence of discrimination in the army, Lokesh wanted to join the army later. Now he decided to join the army the very next day. Tridev convinced his parents and joined the next day. Niranjan joined the army and then informed his parents. All the three were sent to the forward areas. Omkar completed his medical degree and joined his father Ashutosh. He advertised for a helper. He refused to give Bharatram the job because he was a Harijan. He was tired of trying and failing to get a job. He tried to commit suicide by running into a speeding car; he failed, got wounded and was taken to the nearest hospital, Ashutosh's nursing home. Now the doctor had a change of heart; he treated Bharatram and gave him the job. Jahnavi joined Ashutosh nursing home as a nurse. Sadhuram wanted to get Bharatram married to Gouri but he refused to get married till at least one of Ashutosh's problems was resolved. Bholaram, father of Lokesh, took the letter he received to Radharaman who also received a similar letter. The letters informed them that Lokesh and Tridev who were sent on a mission, did not return. Bholaram could not suppress his sorrow and slipped as he stepped out; he was admitted to Ashutosh nursing home. Ashutosh received a letter that Niranjan left the camp but did not return. Ashutosh buried the letter and its contents deep within himself. Bharatram convinced both sides for the marriage of Lucy and Omkar. First they were married according to Christian rites and later according to the Hindu rites. The war ended as suddenly as it began. Lokesh and Tridev returned soon after the war and related how they were wounded and how a Muslim Lady doctor treated them and returned them to the Indian Army Camp. In 1947 when the doctor's family was migrating to Pakistan, an orthodox Brahmin protected them, gave them shelter and treated them as honored guests for three days; that gesture changed the lives and attitudes of the Muslim family and they began helping people in need, irrespective of their religion or nationality. Their story profoundly influenced the residents of Devipur. There was no means of getting any news about Niranjan; his parents felt miserable. Because Lucy was also assisting in running the nursing home, Ashutosh gave up active practice. Niranjan was taken a war prisoner and was selected to be returned to India under an Indo-Pak agreement for exchange of some prisoners. At the last minute someone else was smuggled in his place and he was thrown out to die. A Muslim school teacher saved him, nursed him to health and married him. Later, he wrote a cryptic letter to Ashutosh indicating how they can be retrieved and brought to Devipur. Ashutosh's wife Sarvani deciphers the letter and they succeed in bringing the couple to Devipur with the help of a Collector from each side of the border. The couple was married at Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Life is too short to gain all knowledge by personal experience; one has to learn from the experiences of others. The best way to do this is through books. A short story deals with an issue generally faced by us and interestingly shows how to tackle it. Its message continues to reverberate in the reader's mind for a long time. Whether you agree with the author or not it is certainly informative. Authors have a knack of casting a spell on you and attracting you to their point of view. You reader should step off from the author from time to time and reexamine author's logic critically, to be able to decide for yourself. This is a collection of stories; therefore I am giving a brief idea of each story. Realization: Some persons like Ravi are incapable of expressing or exposing their love; they are often mistaken and families might get disrupted. Ravi became so involved in his research that he forgot about his wife Malini's first birthday in America. She deserted him for Neel but soon realized her mistake and returned to Ravi who believed that marriage was for a lifetime, in spite of occasional misunderstandings or lapses. Sleep walker: Sleep walking is an ailment; the afflicted person is unaware of what the person does or what is done to the person, during such a period; it led to a lot of misunderstanding and disrupted their family. Events helped reconciliation. 7053: Sometimes a number like 7053 may prove embarrassing! It can also lead to a happy consequence for Murthy and Neeraja. An invasion history forgot to record: Sometimes miracles defeat the greed of unjust invaders like Firoz Khan. A Deepavali gift: Some people like Murthy, are prejudiced against Birth-Control operation because they fear loss of potency due to the operation. After the operation he failed to perform! Happiness disappeared from their family. Neeraja, a friend of his wife cleverly restored his potency. The Principal is a coward: The students demanded their Principal Murthy to fulfil their demands; their leader threatened Murthy and went out triumphantly. He tried to molest a bull which was chasing a cow. The bull turned against the leader furiously. Murthy saved the leader. What a marriage: There was a limit of tolerance even for a docile daughter-in-law like Rukmini; when the limit was crossed during a marriage, she eloped with Kistudu. No vacancy: Some persons like Marali are proud of their beauty and expect the rest of the world to accord them primacy in all matters but life has its own norms. She divorced her husband in haste and realized that opportunities don't keep waiting for anyone. Mangamma's prowess: Some people like Mangamma profit by fooling gullible public. Can you blame Janaki for adopting the same path when her husband Rameswar was making merry with another woman? Awakening: It is time that in the context of marriages, persons should be judged by their characters rather than by their parentage. Caste does not have much relevance these days. The umbrella: After 'Vanamahotsava' a school girl forgot her umbrella at the bus shelter; Vasu noticed it and wondered how it may be restored to the owner. A thoughtful student's bold action helped its restoration to the owner. This item is printed on demand.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. However cleverly crimes are committed, they eventually get detected and punished, even after the person relinquished crime. Arohga was an unassuming teacher who looked like a simpleton. He was lured by Raknas who was a black-listed business man of Suris; he carried on business making Arohga a nominal CEO of their company. When he took an independent decision, he was blamed and abused; it angered him and he assumed the charge of the company. He secured the tender for constructing the dam across river Saras, won the friendship of Ivar the king of Suris and of other heads of countries. When Suris adopted democratic form of government, Arohga helped Ivar to become president and expected to be rewarded with prime minister's position. Ivar's relatives, Uhar and Tuek talked Ivar out of it and he appointed Uhar as Prime minister and Tuek as Finance minister. Arohga was enraged. He kept his cool, won the confidence of the trio and made them voluntarily walk into the traps in the shape of land fertilization scheme and gold mining scheme, Arohga prepared for them, without leaving his trace. Arohga carried a lot of government money and went to Wazit. One evening, a daily wage earner Limar, mistook him for her husband Mirak whom he resembled closely and forced him to follow her to their home. They spent the night together. Taking advantage of his resemblance to Mirak, Arohga faked his death by causing Mirak to kill himself in a road accident. Arohga escaped to Droh taking the name of Mirak. A rich widow Yoram, who did not want her property to pass on to her brother Hesnag, married Arohga. He came to know that she had a problem with excessive intake of food. He arranged for a reconciliation between the brother and sister. Arohga arranged for a feast on his fake birthday. Yoram and Hesnag were very happy to come together and Hesnag fed her with excess of tasty dishes because he was unaware of her problem. She could not withstand the food and it was too late for the doctor's help. Arohga offered to bring Limar to Droh and to marry her; she accepted. Arohga encouraged her to educate herself; she became a graduate. He remained a good loving husband. He bought a robotics lab and eventually made baby robots which could smile, laugh or cry. A demonstration was arranged. Nomis was a CID officer of Suris who did not believe that Arohga died. With the permission of the government, he began to chase Arohga's trail and finally was able to locate him at the demonstration. They met in Arohga's office. He disclosed everything to Nomis who tried to record it secretly. That office was equipped to prevent electronic recording of sound or picture within that office! Limar happened to hear Arohga describe how he caused the death of Mirak. She contacted Nomis and obtained all information he knew about Arohga. He guessed that Limar met Nomis. Arohga supplemented her with other details of his version of his life and the kind of life he had been leading after marrying her. He left the choice of punishing him or pardoning him entirely to her discretion. After careful thought she concluded that 1. He was not guilty of committing any crime directly, 2. The purpose of punishment was reforming the individual; when the individual reformed himself and was living a pious life, there was no longer any need to punish him. Nomis persevered, gathered further proof and confronted Arohga and Limar and almost convinced her. When Arohga found all escape routes closed, he committed suicide right in their presence, to escape arrest and humiliation. This item is printed on demand.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Vasanthi was brought up even without allowing her to know the difference between a male and a female. Her father wanted her to remain unmarried and acquire proficiency and fame as a musician; she was more interested in acting. When her youth bloomed, she struggled to learn about the body, its sexuality and their purpose in life. Saradhy was a great actor; he knew her from her childhood and treated her as his own daughter and friend. A chance contact during a drama triggered a feeling of physical love in both of them; he was able to understand immediately and tried to suppress it but she was unable to understand the strange feeling. That drama was written by Avadhani who considered himself court poet of the zamindar's court; Ranganadham also made the same claim. Vasanthy's acting was superb. Saradhy wanted to stage the drama of 'Ranapratap'; he felt that the senior poets would not be suitable for the job. He got the drama written by a young poet Kireeti. The senior poets joined hands to take revenge against Saradhy. With the help of the zamindar, they brought an actor, Arjunarao; he was presented a thousand rupees for his inaugural performance and was appointed on a monthly salary, to stage four dramas a month. Saradhy staged 'Ranapratapa' drama. Vasanthi's performance was exquisite. Avadhani engineered a disturbance during the drama; he was exposed. Vasanthi was a good singer but was no actress. She wondered how she was able to act so well in the last two dramas and went to Saradhy to find the secret. He replied that some desire that she was unaware of, has germinated in her heart and was maturing without her knowledge and that during such periods one can accomplish anything one attempted. She asked him how he became such a good actor. He replied that when he wanted to enact Kalidasa's Sakuntalam, he went to a learned scholar who explained all intricate aspects of the drama. In it there is a sloka which explained that a human being realized his full potential after experiencing deep anguish which can be experienced in several ways. Saradhy told her what he suffered in life and explained the anguish she was then suffering. Saradhy desired sanyasa. One evening he went to the beach and started walking aimlessly and thinking about several matters. The sun started to rise. The early sunshine, seeping through the droplets generated by the waves splashing on the coast, split into several colors over the sea. In the background of the fast fading darkness the swift changing sceneries looked beautiful. He realized that all colors and beauty were illusory. He remembered Umapathy telling him that one could reach salvation through such illusions; he did not quite understand. He went to Umapathy for clarification. He saw how exhausted Saradhy was. Both had their breakfast and rested on easy chairs; soon Saradhy dozed off. On another occasion Saradhy asked Umapathy how upasana of beauty could lead to salvation when beauty itself was an illusion. Umapathy gave a lucid explanation of how upasana of beauty can give deeper happiness transcending physical senses. He also explained in detail Savikalpa Samadhi and Nirvikalpa Samadhi. Saradhy struggled but failed to achieve detachment. By yoga, he transferred to Kireeti what attracted Vasanthi, got her married to him and moved away from them. He was addicted to drama and continued to give performances even as he changed religions and moved from place to place. Saradhy was performing in their town a drama in which Vasanthi played the heroine earlier. She requested him to permit her play that role again; he stoutly refused. She convinced the day's heroine and replaced her after the drama commenced. In a situation in the drama, they embraced each other.
