About the stories Recollections From A Crawlway is a collection of the twenty-one short stories, which are the musings of the author and reflective of the Indian urban scenario. To trail A Wooden Wagon is a prize winner and published by Unisun under the aegis of The British Council. Some stories touch upon the issues of the urban woman, as she is in transition from being a mere wife to a self realized entity. In the others the characters come alive to a realism weve known. The stories are like a personal diary of a looking glass; the ponderings of people and the bizarre mind and its reflections on the inverse.

He grows up with adversity stalking his life and loneliness ensnaring him and yet his quiet charm capitulating, every situation to his advantage.

Ever since he was abandoned by his mother Sherlin at Shanthi Vilas, the palatial abode of his father, Brij has a grouse with destiny. His fathers wife never fails to insultingly remind him of his bastard status- her game of one-upmanship rather disconcerting. His father will not let on that Brij was indeed his biological son for fear of losing standing in society.

Brij follows in the footsteps of his father and joins the police force. He submerges his hurt feelings and plunges himself into work. Yet the accolades that come his way sound bitter. Brij works harder until his success at meticulous deduction and cracking of crime is coffee table conversation. Then like life was again in conduit with adversity there is a huge disastrous explosion - the mercenaries have signed in! Read to fi nd out in this uplifting tale of love, loss and the complications life brings.

Across The Purple Moor

A Novel

By: Kalpana M Naghnoor

‘Purple Moor!’ The art teacher’s livid voice resonates. Rushali watches her mother cringe, called into the principal's office again; but thankfully, her father, Dev Pillay chooses to see her painting as eclectic and a reflection of the caring person she is. When Rushali is just seventeen, her father, the one person who understood her, suddenly passes away. Now Rushali must find her path from the chaos of nonconformity she built for herself. A semblance of calm pervades in her relationship with her mother until Mohan arrives on the scene. At forty-seven, the shackles are unbearable, judged repeatedly in parameters that do not fit her persona. Then, so unexpectedly, Rushali is free! But is this the freedom she sought? What tryst of fate made her paint the moor purple? Do such moors exist?
