Unmoored

By: Ramachandran Usha

In Unmoored, Ramachandran Usha crafts an intimate exploration of migration and belonging. Three women—Ayesha, Indu, and Ameera—return to Chennai from the Gulf, each looking to reunite with the loved ones they left behind. Despite differences in religion, social status and age, they are also united in their quest for a true sense of home. Usha’s novella dwells on the seldom-told yet pervasive story of women who travel to the Middle East and beyond, driven by the need to secure their families’ futures. The protagonists of the two short stories featured in this collection, ‘Khushka’, and ‘Success’, have much in common with the women of Unmoored, even as they grapple with crises of faith and finance.

Tracking Purnima

By: Usha Kathir

A missing actress. A gutsy journalist. And a cold-blooded murder… 24-year old Aditi Sridhar is trying hard to establish herself as a newspaper reporter in Bangalore. In her first major feature article, Aditi, with her never-say-die spirit, resurrects Purnima, the once celebrated singer and actress from the 60s and now a forgotten and missing star. Soon, Aditi is warned off by an unknown caller. Intrigued and defiant, the feisty girl ropes in her friend Reshmi, a photographer, to help her track Purnima. Her detractors become bolder and more violent. Will Aditi solve the mystery that shrouds Purnima’s disappearance? Will she unravel the dubious identities and missing links as she gets closer to Purnima? Or does something more sinister await Aditi as she risks her own life to find Purnima, dead or alive. USHA KATHIR is a writer by choice and an active lake conservationist by chance. She has five books to her credit and the privilege of nurturing one lake in Bangalore. Kathir is the author’s pseudonym for this crime novel series featuring Aditi and Reshmi.

Pathophysiology of Pulmonary Hypertension

By: Yuansheng Gao,J. Usha Raj

Pulmonary hypertension is a life-threatening disease with no known cure. Here we provide a concise yet comprehensive review of the current knowledge about the pathophysiology of pulmonary hypertension (PH). The underlying signaling mechanisms involved in pulmonary vascular remodeling and the exaggerated vascular contractility, two characteristic features of pulmonary hypertension, are discussed in depth. The roles of inflammation, immunity, and right ventricular function in the pathobiology of pulmonary hypertension are discussed. The epidemiology of the five groups of pulmonary hypertension (World Health Organization classification; Nice, 2013) is also briefly described. A clear understanding of our current knowledge about the pathogenesis of PH is essential for further exploration of the underlying mechanisms involved in this disease and for the development of new therapeutic modalities. This book should be of interest to researchers and graduate students, both in basic research and in clinical settings, in the fields of pulmonary vascular biology and pulmonary hypertension.

Adhyasa

An Analytical Exegesis on Sri Sankara

By: Dr. N. Usha Devi

Few will dispute the fact that Sri Sankara, the most exciting philosopher of Advaita Vedanta has no clear-cut answers to the problem of reality. The shifting focus and emphasis on the various philosophical issues cited in the original exegetics of Sri Sankara by the modern thinkers certainly need a consensus on arriving at the meaningful and purposeful understanding of the true nature of reality. The concept of Adhyasa in its three variants has to be asserted from the non-contradictory ground of reality. In this context, there is a need to differentiate between 'mere appearance' and the 'actual appearance' or the unmanifest reality. The present work attempts to establish the valid tones of a sound philosophy of Advaita Vedanta at its best.

Ripples Roping Memories

By: Usha Raman

Partridge India has released a book of poems, Drifting Emotions and Flowering Thoughts authored by Usha Raman. It is a lyrical celebration of experiences. Another book are leaves from the 1960s which springs into Ripples Roping Memories, a fiction radiating into experiences. Walking to school with a school bag on her shoulder, Rani gazes at her surroundings and findings and revels in her sweet and resents her bitter experiences. Rani makes a comment about doctors. I considered doctors as healers who could mend peoples bodies. Doctors can drive away disease and pain. I revered them. The guilt feeling which Rani feels after stealing- My fabric of morality was stained. Fear and remorse ruled me. Pleasant experiences are- These songs infiltrated into my psyche and sowed a pleasant feeling Excerpts which reveal unpleasant experiences My head would become a sudden sweeping merry go round and I would slump on the floor Innocence and ignorance combined in me and aroused fear. A mothers attempt to blackmail is evident in the lines- Kanna, I am the only one mother of yours, You must listen to your mother or I am going to cut my wrist with a knife Do you want me or your friends? Atrocities against women leads her to believe It seems there is no security im marriage. Child abuse develops A constant feeling of disrespect towards elders continued to dwell in my mind. Reading the book Ripples Roping Memories helps one to experience cosmopolitan Indian society. It is a slow moving life where Rani gets time to observe. Din of commercialisation makes a slow penetration into Vanavli. It is an overall composite wade into middle class Indian life. Villas, chawls and shanties existed side by side. Languages of characters are coded in English. Meanings are provided to facilitate understanding.

Gandhians in Conversation with Fred J Blum

Kriplani, Raihana Tyabji, Dada Dharmadhikari, Sushila Nayar, Jhaver Patel and Sucheta Kripalani. The interviewees reflect on Gandhi’s ideas in the light of changes that took place in India after Independence. The book provides glimpses of Gandhi’s ideas and working relationship with his colleagues who came from a wide range of backgrounds, professions and geographical regions. It also brings out the thoughts of Gandhi and his followers on several important issues such as Satyagraha, non-violence, Brahmacharya, spirituality, and fasting. This blend of an intimate knowledge of Gandhi and the reflective hindsight gives the book a unique vantage point that promotes a holistic understanding of Gandhian thought and philosophy.

Source

Akasha Spiritual Faith

By: Usha Sita Sundaram

SOURCE is the continuation of cumulative thought that began with the books MIND and Akasha Spiritual Faith. This is the next collection in the spiritual series and approaches the mind-body awakening through purposeful action without undue repression and sacrificial constraints. It leads to a highly productive and meaningful existence and the freedom inherent to the process lasts the lifetime. The Source is all that exists externally as well as within and this we are meant to seek and address through the life that becomes unfathomably rich in its potential. SOURCE addresses the egoic mind through the background context of Source and Divine Law, Source elements, and the resonation-based existence. It leads to the diminishment of the egoic self and allows the mind-body life to awaken.
