Srividya Natarajan's Books

Amandeep, Murugesh, Rufus and Sundar are bucks who talk dirty for the same reason that they remove the mufflers from their motorcycle exhausts—it makes them feel like men. Like libertines. To their hormonal despair, when Professor Ram stages his remake of A Midsummer Night's Dream at their college fest, he casts these four as fairies. The farce that follows gradually takes over the lives of the rest of the characters in this achingly funny novel about the pratfalls that accompany caste pride. On and off the campus of Chennai University, you will encounter onion-and-garlic-free TamBrahms who rewrite Shakespeare to uphold the Hindu order, smug NRIs who call the shots in matrimonials, visiting Canadians who are aghast at the plight of Dalits (pronounced ‘daylights') and, at the apex of the whole tumbling structure, a bibulous builder who invokes the gods even as he defrauds his clients. Tailing the characters around this plot is an unseen but all-seeing spectator. You may never guess who that is, but will laugh all the way to the answer.

Graphic novel based on Gulāmagirī by Jotīrāva Govindarāva Phule.

This book answers a lot of questions that women ask themselves and among themselves as a group. It explores our feelings about menstruation, tuberculosis, AIDS, cancer and mental distress. It is very well researched and forthright. It is a perfect guide to a woman's quest for health.

Bhikhubhai's mouth waters for some coconut ... fresh, juicy, grated, with a dash of sugar. But there aren't any in the house and he must go to the market for one. The problem is that he'd rather not pay for it.! This hilarious folktale from Gujarat follows miserly Bhikhubhai's desperate attempts to get himself a coconut - all free! Pictures in the book are based on the stylised painted paper scrolls used by Garoda storytellers in northern Gujarat.

Story based on moral themes.

Kali hates school. And school hates him, he thinks, for he has no friends. The children there find him strange. He wishes his father were an 'ordinary' bus-conductor or postman instead of a snake-catcher, even if one of the most celebrated in the Irula tribe. He worries that others will see him eating fried termites (his favourite snack!) and laugh. And then one day, a large rat snake creates havoc in the classroom . . . and Kali becomes a hero! A simple, sensitive story crafted by a writer deeply involved with environmental issues. Zai Whitaker works closely with the Irulas, and her empathy with them is as evident in this book as it was with the Jarawas in Andamans Boy, also published by Tulika. The watercolour illustrations are evocative and detailed, suffusing the story with many hues of mood.

Tegneserie - graphic novel. On the life and achievements of Bhimrao Ramji Ambedkar, 1891-1956, Indian statesman and social reformer
