Most of us have travelled by train and experienced true India. Shared food and stories with our co-travellers. Or reached the platform, gasping to find the train leaving with a merry whistle. And in a queue for tickets, dug through our wallets for exact change, complaining about the slow clerk.
Have you ever thought about what goes on in the minds of the deadpan faces that peek through the grilled counter, mechanically issuing tickets to faraway places while rooted to their seats?
In Platform Ticket, Sangeetha chronicles her time as a ‘commercial clerk’ in the Indian Railways. Between sleepless graveyard shifts and heart-warming moments with travellers, Sangeetha’s life was far from dull. Her years of service, network of colleagues with varied experiences, and storytelling prowess guarantee an enjoyable behind-the-scenes look at this indispensable service in our country.

इस संग्रह में शामिल कहानियाँ, हमारी दुनिया में नई शक्ति से फैलते अन्याय और असमानता के अंधेरे के साथ ही उपभोक्तावादी समाज की प्रदर्शनप्रियता, झूठी रंगीनियों और इनसे पैदा हताशा-टूटन को उजागर करती हैं। यहाँ राजनीति-कॉरपोरेट-धर्म-पर्यावरण के संकट मानवीय और अमानवीय संबंधों के साथ एक नए शिल्प और चकित करने वाली भाषा में प्रकट होते हैं। शिल्प के माने यह नहीं हैं कि भाषिक करतब को ही कहानी मान लिया जाए जहां परंपरा की गाँठें, इतिहास की उलझनें और साधारण मनुष्य के जीवन की सचाइयाँ ही गायब हों, बल्कि ये कहानियाँ अपने ही अनजाने और मुश्किल रास्तों पर चलते हुए तलघर, भग्न गलियों, मलिन बस्तियों, जंगल, कब्रिस्तान और श्मशान, मल्टी स्टोरी इमारतों और मधुमक्खी के छत्तों तक एक जैसी सहजता से जाती हैं।
Sucker Punch is about what happens when the life you thought you’d be living radically changes course, everything you thought you knew about the world and yourself has tilted on its axis, and you have to start forging a new path forward. Scaachi employs her signature humour and fierce intelligence to interrogate her previous belief that fighting is the most effective tool for progress. She examines the fights she’s had—with her parents, her ex-husband, her friends, online strangers, and herself—all in an attempt to understand when a fight is worth having, and when it’s better to walk away.

The fame of people like Priyanka Chopra, Satya Nadella, Sundar Pichai, Kumail Nanjiani, Indra Nooyi, Mindy Kaling, M. Night Shyamalan, Tata Consultancy Services’ (TCS) sponsorship of the New York City Marathon, the ubiquitousness of Indian restaurants and yoga studios in many American cities and much else illustrates the close relationship the US and India enjoy today.
From the 1780s onwards, there have been relationships of various kinds, all mediated, until India’s independence, through the British Raj. While ties in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries were somewhat thin, the closer relationship through three-quarters of the twentieth century, has now become an extremely close one as India has sent large rivers of people and goods to America, and Americans have responded with growing interest and involvement in India. This, despite occasional blips like the Bhopal industrial disaster.
Missions, Mantras, Migrants and Microchips takes the long view of the Indo-US encounter. Besides documenting well-known ties, it also brings into focus some ignored and forgotten people like Kumar Goshal, Ida Scudder, Charles Page Perin, John Bissell and Maharishi Mahesh Yogi. Deeply researched and engagingly written by veteran historian Leonard A. Gordon, this work is the definitive account of the Indo-US connection.
