On the Canvas of My Time

Our Search for Sustainability

By: Vivek Cariappa

On the Canvas of My Time is a narration of a life lived with passion, commitment and honesty that often went against the prevalent beliefs and values of the time. The author, at the age of 56, takes the reader on a solo bike ride – from the present on his family farm in rural Karnataka to parts of North India where he spent his childhood. Along the road the reader gets to see glimpses of the author’s life – the transition from the fast-paced lifestyle in New Delhi to building a sustainable, self-reliant life ethic with his partner, Juli, and their children. The book shares his worldview and provides a first-hand account of the ground realities of the yawning urban-rural divide, its impact on human dynamics and the looming environmental disaster that we are fast approaching in our blind pursuit of short-term developmental goals at the cost of real sustainability. The journal is also a narrative of the couple’s love story and their fascinating journey stretching over three and a half decades.

Who Killed Shastri?

The Tashkent Files

By: Vivek Agnihotri

It was the time of the Cold War. After defeating Pakistan in the second biggest armed conflict since the Second World War, Indian Prime Minister Lal Bahadur Shastri arrived in Tashkent, former USSR, to sign a peace accord. After days of extended negotiations, the peace agreement was signed between India and Pakistan in the presence of Alexei Kosygin, the USSR Premier. Hours later, at 1.32 AM, Shastri died in his dacha. Abruptly. Mysteriously. Soon after, his official Russian butler and the Indian cook attached to the Indian ambassador were arrested by the Ninth Directorate of the KGB under the suspicion of poisoning Shastri. No post-mortem was done. No confession was achieved. There was no judicial enquiry ever. It's been 50 years since his death, and we still don't know the truth. Was it really a heart attack? Was he poisoned? Did the CIA kill him? Was it the KGB? Was it a state-sponsored murder? Vivek Ranjan Agnihotri along with his motley team of inexperienced assistants turned whistle-blowers investigate the mystery behind Shastri's death and find themselves in a mirror-world where all and everybody is suspect. But they cannot remain distant, for the painful story of India touches their own lives as they discover how the country was put up for sale.

Low Intensity Conflicts in India

An Analysis

By: Vivek Chadha

Low intensity conflicts (or LICs) are motivated and sustained by a strong ideology—be it economic, political, ethnic or psychological. Through a sustained process of attrition, these often protracted struggles are capable of bringing the state to its knees, besides draining the exchequer and resulting in the loss of many lives. This important book is the first comprehensive account of LICs in India from 1947 to the present. The conflicts covered in detail are: - Militancy in both Punjab and Jammu and Kashmir - The complex problems in the North-East - The agitation for Gorkhaland and Naxalite violence. Lt Col Vivek Chadha covers all facets of these LICs including their causes and origins, the factors that sustain them and the trajectory of each. He provides a comparative analysis of the causes of these conflicts and examines the state’s response in dealing with them. Insightful, objective and lucidly written, this book will attract a wide readership among army, paramilitary and police personnel as well as administrators, policy-makers and students of strategic studies.

Life Is a Wordplay. Go. Win.

By: Vivek Gaurav

“The Good News is I Have, sort of, Understood How Life Works And The Bad News is I have, sort of, Understood How Life Works!” I consider this as one of my most defining Quotes about the magical phenomenon called Life. And this very thought became a big reason behind penning down this book. The book is a collection of my original quotes, punchlines and one-liners, wherein I play around with words to bring out witty, yet deep insights into how various elements of life work. The book begins its roller coaster ride with quotes around Life, Philosophy and Experiences. As soon as the progression begins to sound logical by moving into Behaviour and Beliefs, it suddenly takes a sharp hair-pin turn into the world of Food, Fitness & Health. It, then, comes back to track and takes you to Self-Improvement & Motivation. As soon as you come out of this, you straight-away land yourself into Society & City-life, followed by Work-life & Office. It finally reaches Family & Married Life, via Technology and some fun around Change and Betterment. I hope you have a Wonderful Journey!
