Sacred Games

By: Vikram Chandra

An enormously satisfying, exciting and enriching book, Vikram Chandra's novel draws the reader deep into the lives of detective Sartaj Singh and Ganesh Gaitonde, the most wanted gangster in India. Sartaj, the only Sikh inspector in the whole of Mumbai, is used to being identified by his turban, beard and the sharp cut of his trousers. But 'the silky Sikh' is now past forty, his marriage is over and his career prospects are on the slide. When Sartaj gets an anonymous tip off as to the secret hideout of the legendary boss of the G-company, he's determined that he'll be the one to collect the prize. This is a sprawling, epic novel of friendships and betrayals, of terrible violence, of an astonishing modern city and its underworld. Drawing on the best of Victorian fiction, mystery novels, Bollywood movies and Vikram Chandra's years of first hand research on the streets of Mumbai, this novel reads like a potboiling page-turner but resonates with the intelligence and emotional depth of the best of literature.

Poems for the Journey

By: Vikram Kalkat

Poems for the Journey is a string of poems reflecting the journey of life. The poetry will spirit you across a variety of thoughts and observations that many would come across in their daily lives. Often, in the fast pace of life, a lot of these observations are either overlooked or lost in brief thoughts, they stay embedded our subconscious, though. The book can provide guidance and new meaning to a subject at various levels as per person’s moods and reflections. The author hopes the poetry will give the reader much needed inspiration through words, and rhymes, to the struggles that most people face across their journeys of life. Many might have thought these were trivial at the time, but over a period and with a philosophical outlook they can reflect a different point of view. Also, the book pays tribute to some of those key historical incidents, in a subtle manner, that have deeply impacted the psyche of the nation during some of its darkest and defining moments. Overall, the poems are rhymed such that the meaning and the overall theme would emerge, often only in the last few lines of the poem, bringing out a new perspective to the thought or the incident overall.

A School Counsellor Casebook

By: Vikram Patel,Lisa Aronson,Gauri Divan

The school years tend to be the healthiest period of life, but it is also when mental health problems often begin or become more apparent, due in part to the challenges posed by unique educational and socialization expectations and physical and psychological developmental changes. The majority of youth negotiate these challenges well, drawing upon a range of resources to see them through: innate reserves of resilience, healthy coping strategies and supportive school and home environments. But every now and then, a young person falters and stumbles. Gentle support and guidance, informed by knowledge and skills, can make all the difference for the troubled youth. Providing this informed support and guidance is the role of the school counsellor. This casebook is intended to provide a solid foundation for counselling practice in schools. This is an accessible guide, training tool and resource for school counsellors, educational and clinical psychologists, school teachers, social workers and other health professionals working in all countries to provide services to schoolgoing youth.

Crossing the Abyss

The Path to the Royal Road

By: Vikram Talwar

“Crossing the Abyss” is the highest form of spiritual manifestation, a universal law, in which soul slowly ascends, towards highest states of consciousness, Self in relationship to the movements of the “Celestial Kingdom” in which Reality is undeniable. All Abrahamic religions go back to the ultimate experience of Self, “I” in which truth is unified in One. “Behold, thou art one in me, a Son of God; and thus, may all become my sons Amen.” Moses 6:68. This book is an evidence based on facts and real life experiences on what lies ahead, as we may have engaged ourselves in self destructive practices in meeting the challenges of this millennium. It answers the very question about truth, as the highest form of divinity present in every human being and not a hypocritical function of blind faith, practiced by religion. Transcending mortality into immortality an “Aryan Kshatriya” of a warrior class scaling strength in character, annihilation in traits and on path to self-realization, made an Atonement post 9/11. This in service to protect all Christians and the Royal Crowns on The Path to the Royal Road in a discipline and discipleship - Raja Yoga with Her Majesty the Queen Elizabeth II.

Geek Sublime

The Beauty of Code, the Code of Beauty

By: Vikram Chandra

The nonfiction debut from the author of the international bestseller Sacred Games about the surprising overlap between writing and computer coding Vikram Chandra has been a computer programmer for almost as long as he has been a novelist. In this extraordinary new book, his first work of nonfiction, he searches for the connections between the worlds of art and technology. Coders are obsessed with elegance and style, just as writers are, but do the words mean the same thing to both? Can we ascribe beauty to the craft of writing code? Exploring such varied topics as logic gates and literary modernism, the machismo of tech geeks, the omnipresence of an "Indian Mafia" in Silicon Valley, and the writings of the eleventh-century Kashmiri thinker Abhinavagupta, Geek Sublime is both an idiosyncratic history of coding and a fascinating meditation on the writer's art. Part literary essay, part technology story, and part memoir, it is an engrossing, original, and heady book of sweeping ideas.

Indian Classical Music and the Gramophone, 1900–1930

By: Vikram Sampath

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

Indian Classical Music and the Gramophone, 1900–1930

By: Vikram Sampath

In 1902 The Gramophone Company in London sent out recording experts on "expeditions" across the world to record voices from different cultures and backgrounds. All over India, it was women who embraced the challenge of overcoming numerous social taboos and aesthetic handicaps that came along with this nascent technology. Women who took the plunge and recorded largely belonged to the courtesan community, called tawaifs and devadasis, in North and South India, respectively. Recording brought with it great fame, brand recognition, freedom from exploitative patrons, and monetary benefits to the women singers. They were to become pioneers of the music industry in the Indian sub-continent. However, despite the pioneering role played by these women, their stories have largely been forgotten. Contemporaneous with the courtesan women adapting to recording technology was the anti-nautch campaign that sought to abolish these women from the performing space and brand them as common prostitutes. A vigorous renaissance and arts revival movement followed, leading to the creation of a new classical paradigm in both North Indian (Hindustani) and South Indian (Carnatic) classical music. This resulted in the standardization, universalization, and institutionalization of Indian classical music. This newly created classical paradigm impacted future recordings of The Gramophone Company in terms of a shift in genres and styles. Vikram Sampath sheds light on the role and impact of The Gramophone Company’s early recording expeditions on Indian classical music by examining the phenomenon through a sociocultural, historical and musical lens. The book features the indefatigable stories of the women and their experiences in adapting to recording technology. The artists from across India featured are: Gauhar Jaan of Calcutta, Janki Bai of Allahabad, Zohra Bai of Agra, Malka Jaan of Agra, Salem Godavari, Bangalore Nagarathnamma, Coimbatore Thayi, Dhanakoti of Kanchipuram, Bai Sundarabai of Pune, and Husna Jaan of Banaras.

Red Earth and Pouring Rain

By: Vikram Chandra

The gods of poetry and death descend on a house in India to vie for the soul of a wounded monkey. A bargain is struck: the monkey must tell a story, and if he can keep his audience entertained, he shall live. The result is Red Earth and Pouring Rain, Vikram Chandra's astonishing, vibrant novel. Interweaving tales of nineteenth-century India with modern America, it stands in the tradition of The Thousand and One Nights, a work of vivid imagination and a celebration of the power of storytelling itself. 'A dazzling first novel written with such originality and intensity as to be not merely drawing on myth but making it.' Sunday Times

Shakespeare and Indian Theatre

The Politics of Performance

By: Vikram Singh Thakur

This book looks at adaptations, translations and performance of Shakespeare's productions in India from the mid-18th century, when British officers in India staged Shakespeare's plays along with other English playwrights for entertainment, through various Indian adaptations of his plays during the colonial period to post-Independence period. It studies Shakespeare in Bengali and Parsi theatre at length. Other theatre traditions, such as Marathi, Kannada, Malayalam and Hindi, have been included. The book dwells on the fascinating story of the languages of India that have absorbed Shakespeare's work and have transformed the original educated Indian's Shakespeare into the popular Shakespeare practice of the 19th and 20th centuries, and the unique urban-folkish tradition in postcolonial India.

75 Wasted Years, Let us Catch Up and Leapfrog

By: Vikram Sinha

The author tears into the false narrative of India’s progress since independence and the mirage of a glorious future, created by the political class and the bureaucracy. With facts, data, and a touching narration he reveals the plight of the poor and the unemployed through the decades. One of the most agonizing facts that he highlights is that since independence, India has fallen 100 places behind other countries in GDP per capita; and with Bangladesh overtaking India on this parameter, India is destined to remain the poorest large country in the world. The book illustrates how Indians have become hostage to a crippled system that is unable to deliver. Power brokers in the garb of politicians, entrenched bureaucracy driven by self-interest, ineffective judiciary, and elements of the fourth estate along with self-seeking pseudo-intellectuals have formed a powerful coalition to thwart any change in the system and policies which is essential for the transformation of India, initiated from time to time by some progressive governments. Based on his diagnosis of why India continues to fall by the wayside as also his insights into strategies, governance systems, and best practices of countries like South Korea, China, and others, the author evolves a framework for the strategic transformation of India to ‘Catch Up and Leapfrog’ these countries.
