A Normal Indian

Short Stories from the Heart of India

By: Malavika Sharma

a Normal Indian is a compilation of short stories of young men and women in India who have faced adversity and have sometimes come out strong and sometimes lost. Each story is unique and has been drawn from the lives of Indians. Some endings are full of hope and positivity, yet others are a little sad and despondent. These stories are meant to address social issues in India and also make you think about them. The young India of today is full of pride, beauty, and love, yet it is marred by social evils like female infanticide, dowry, and youth suicide. These stories revolve around these very realities. You may see a little bit of you in them, or someone close to you may be reflected in them. The aim is to highlight what went wrong and have a conversation among ourselves to make things right! I believe that true change in the social fabric of my India shall only come with these small conversations. These very conversations shall lead to a change of heart and mind#ChangeByTalking. Join me in my journey as a normal Indian, a normal Indian who is opinionated and has views on everything he/she sees and faces, a normal Indian who wants change but sometimes is shackled by that very society he/she lives in! Join me! Regards, Malavika Sharma A Normal Indian

Psychological Perspectives on Childcare in Indian Indigenous Health Systems

By: Malavika Kapur

This book examines childcare in ancient Indian health systems from the perspective of developmental psychology. The author extensively studies ancient texts and charts from Ayurveda, Unani, Siddha and Tibetan medicines and analyses how gleanings from these systems can be useful in creating preferred practices for modern childcare systems. Though the four systems originated in different geographical regions, they share many common core constructs of a holistic approach consisting of mind-body unity. The core of psychological healing in these systems rests on bringing about harmony and balance of disturbed functions through diet, daily regimen and drugs. However, despite commonalities, understanding of childcare in the four systems varies a great deal. The differences seem to be rooted in local sociocultural, religious and folk healing practices. Remarkably, in all of them, prescriptions of drugs and behaviour are psychologically grounded and uncannily modern from the perspective of developmental psychology. The book raises the following questions as important for further research: whether holistic approaches be adopted for the empirical study of indigenous health systems, where their strength lies; whether personality frameworks identified in the four systems can be incorporated into contemporary medical practice to its advantage; whether preferred childcare practices among the four systems can be studied empirically in current paediatric, psychological and parenting research; and whether faith, if it is of importance to the patient, can be incorporated as an element into contemporary medical practice.

Growing Up Karanth

By: K. Ullas Karanth,Malavika Kapur,Kshama Rau

About the Book THE LIFE AND TIMES OF ONE OF THE GREATEST KANNADA WRITERS. Karanth, Kuvempu, Bendre—the trinity of modern Kannada literature; the pride of Kannadigas; … It was Shivarama Karanth who took the culture of Karnataka beyond the shores of India with his dance and music. After Rabindranath Tagore, no one had mastered as many art forms as Shivarama Karanth. —From the Foreword by Dr Chiranjiv Singh, former Indian ambassador to UNESCO Kota Shivarama Karanth was the ultimate Renaissance Man. A giant of world literature, he produced dozens of novels, plays, children’s works, autobiographies, popular science books, translations and much else. In 1977, he was awarded the Bharatiya Jnanpith Award for the novel Mookajjiya Kanasugalu. But Karanth was more than a writer. He also dabbled in journalism and movie-making, ran a publishing house, and campaigned for environmental and political causes. He was instrumental in transforming the ancient dance-drama form of Yakshagana for a modern audience. While a great deal has been written about the man and his genius, there is little material about the intimate details of his life. Through much of his creative career, for instance, Karanth was unflinchingly supported by his wife, Leela. The Karanths had four children. The eldest, Harsha, died in 1961. The other three, Malavika, Ullas and Kshama, come together to present this uniquely personal account of what it was like to be the children of a creative genius. Growing Up Karanth documents their 'rare privilege' , while also detailing the world of Shivarama Karanth through their eyes. Multilayered and nuanced, critical and affectionate, and filled with revelations that open up new facets of their father's life, Malavika, Ullas and Kshamla reveal Karanth and his times like no one else could have.
