Indian Shield: Precambrian Evolution and Phanerozoic Reconstitution highlights unique evolutionary trends covering a period of over 3,500 million years, from the oldest crust to the most recent geological activity of the Indian Subcontinent. The book discusses regional terrain geology in terms of the evolutionary history of the crust, describing how the Precambrian Shield evolved from a stable continental region to a tectonically unstable zone marked by frequent high-intensity earthquakes in a Plate-interior setting. It is a complete and readable account of the history of growth and evolution of the Indian Subcontinent, including Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Nepal and Pakistan. The book is intended for graduate students, researchers, and teachers in the geosciences, especially geophysics, geomorphology and geology. The book also serves as an important resource for tectonics and petrology researchers, as well as those involved in exploration of mineral resources. - Features comprehensive geological information on the evolution of the Indian Subcontinent, from the growth of early crust to the present day in a single volume - Discusses different processes of post-Precambrian reconstitution of the Indian Shield that ultimately produced the present-day geomorphology as well as the tectonic character of the region - Assesses the impacts and effects of the ongoing post-Himalayan tectonism on the Indian Subcontinent

This is a story of dreaming the great Indian middle class dream, and of life shaped - accidentally or by design, only God knows - by the great Indian middle class values. The joyride begins in the lap of two favourite pastimes of the nation - cricket and television - and after some shattered dreams, leads to the hallowed precincts of the venerated IIMs. It is a story of the life at the IIMs, and of life beyond. It is a story of how to play the IIM game successfully and beat the super distillation system refined by the IIMs to separate the chaff from the grain, the also-rans from the super achievers. The story has bit of raw truth. It is also tongue-in-cheek. It is designed to whet the appetite of those aspiring. It will evoke nostalgia amongst the alumni; it will also anger a few. Read on... you will either love it, or hate it, but will find it difficult to put down.

Garden of desire of seven-teen agers' is a collection of 58 poems (with a small description of each poem). The book is drafted in form of a story defining the way or the dents which usually comes in the life of a teenager ........ a mix of love, life, tragedy, drama, success, desires, and temptations ... and even many more ... As a poet and an author I had given first person approach to the story of a boy, so that it could become more interesting and overwhelming for the readers. I assume that the first person approach would surely energize readers to keep on moving with the contents of the book. As a collection of poems, with small description or detail; each poem in the book is a message felt by the heart of a boy from the surrounding world; who is just coming out of the stage of childhood to the stage of adulthood. This boy finds himself unable to understand the reason for his consciousness, the urge he feels to look at beautiful faces and the distress he feels when he looks at some known beautiful girl. ......... He starts taking things as burden even when it's not required. He wants people to serve the society and in solitude searches' the ways by which it could be achieved. He had suffered a setback for that he couldn't find the reason, 'Why people hurt others?' the reason for his sufferings lies in his own story and the feelings throughout the story are expressed here in the form of the poems......
