“There was this girl who went to Sun City, bright as sunshine, graceful and witty.” That was the first line of the Author’s poem on Aishwarya Rai, Miss World 1994 that won him the first prize in a Times Of India Contest. This was soon followed by two more poems that were published in the Times of India, one on the match-fixing controversy and the other about Diana’s ‘death in a car crash’ These three convinced the writer that he is comfortable with writing topical poetry. That’s how the idea of writing a ‘book of poems’ about the epoch-making 20th century was born, later to be nurtured and finally to fructify in the form of this book, ‘A Century and a Score’. The book is about the happenings and people of the 20th century and 20 years thereafter. It ‘races through in an easy-going, rhyming style and concisely packs information, interspersed with wit and satire. Happy reading folks!!

A Very Old Machine

The Many Origins of the Cinema in India

By: Sudhir Mahadevan

In A Very Old Machine, Sudhir Mahadevan shows how Indian cinema's many origins in the technologies and practices of the nineteenth century continue to play a vital and broad function in its twenty-first-century present. He proposes that there has never been a singular cinema in India; rather, Indian cinema has been a multifaceted phenomenon that was (and is) understood, experienced, and present in everyday life in myriad ways. Employing methods of media archaeology, close textual analysis, archival research, and cultural theory, Mahadevan digs into the history of photography, print media, practices of piracy and showmanship, and contemporary everyday imaginations of the cinema to offer an understanding of how the cinema came to be such a dominant force of culture in India. The result is an open-ended and innovative account of Indian cinema's "many origins.

Biotechnology of Va Mycorrhiza

Indian Scenario

By: Dr. Sudhir Chandra,H. K. Kehri

knowledge on mycorrhiza-plant relationship has grown somewhat with slow pace until about 1970 when there was a sudden upsurge of interest on a specialized type of endomycorrhiza-vesicular arbuscular mycorrhiza (VA Mycorrhiza). The prodigious research made during last three decades clearly established its widespread occurrence in various plant species and under different agro-climatic conditions covering broad ecological range including deserts, forest and mangroves. It was also established that this symbiotic association benefits the plants through enhanced nutrient uptake, biological control of root pathogens, and synergistic interaction with nitrogen fixing microorganisms, hormone production and drought resistance. In view of its utility to plants, this bio-tool has now attracted the attention of microbiologist. agronomist, horticulturist and foresters at global level.
