‘इस नॉवेल में हमारा समाज, इन्सानी रिश्ते और रिश्तों की उलझनें एक नए ढंग में सामने आती हैं। त्रिपुरारि ने लव-स्टोरी को साइंस-फ़िक्शन की शक्ल अता की है और अपने लिए एक नई और अलग राह तलाश की है। साइंस-फ़िक्शन हमारे यहाँ कम लिखा जाता है, ख़ुशी है त्रिपुरारि ने इस तरफ़ संजीदगी से तवज्जोह दी है। उम्मीद है उनका ये नॉवेल साइंस-फ़िक्शन में एक संग-ए-मील साबित होगा’
– रहमान अब्बास, साहित्य अकादेमी अवॉर्ड विनर, उर्दू नॉवलिस्ट
आख़िरी इश्क़ साइंस-फ़िक्शन और फ़ैंटेसी जॉनर में लिखा ऐसा रूमानी नॉवेल है जो उर्दू और हिन्दी पढ़ने वालों को इश्क़ के मुख़्तलिफ़ रंगों में सराबोर करता है, और जो उर्दू अदब की दुनिया में “साइंस-फ़िक्शन” को बतौर जॉनर कायम करने का हौसला रखता है।
भारत की आज़ादी के साथ ही, सरकार एक सीक्रेट प्रोजेक्ट “द गेटवे ऑफ़ पास्ट एंड फ़्यूचर” की शुरुआत हिमाचल के तीर्थन वैली में एक लैब बनवाकर करती है। यहाँ ऐसी मछलियाँ तैयार की जाती हैं, जिनकी आँखों में इंसान अपना माज़ी या मुस्तक़बिल देख सकता है। वैसी ही एक सुनहरी मछली की वजह से अल्मा और अबीर मुसलसल एक-दूसरे के ख़्वाब में आते और इश्क़ में पड़ जाते हैं।
यही सिलसिला एक ऐसी कहानी में तब्दील होता है जिसे पाठक पूरी पढ़कर ही दम लेंगे! लेकिन कहानी, क्या वो पूरी होती है, क्या कहानियाँ पूरी हो पाती हैं . . . और इश्क़ . . .
त्रिपुरारि के लेखन में ग़ज़ब सम्मोहन है। वो अपनी भाषा के साथ-साथ कथ्य से भी पाठकों को अपने मोहपाश में बाँध लेते हैं। उनके इस उपन्यास में प्रेम का एक अनूठा संसार तो खुलता है, साथ ही ये एक ऐसी कथाभूमि पर गढ़ा गया है जो अचंभित भी करता है।

The Stoic Path to Wealth: Ancient Wisdom for Enduring Prosperity
BUILD WEALTH BY APPLYING ANCIENT WISDOM TO THE CHAOS OF MODERN-DAY MARKETS, WITH INVESTOR AND FINANCIAL INFLUENCER DARIUS FOROUX.
‘Darius has a unique ability to turn complex ideas into simple stories.’ — Morgan Housel, #1 NYT bestselling author of The Psychology of Money
The Stoics understood that if you can control your reactions and manage your emotions, you can achieve success. The same principles apply to our financial lives today.
The only way to beat inflation and grow your wealth is by investing. The greatest investors approach the markets with discipline, emotional distance, and self-mastery—lessons that the Stoics have been teaching us for thousands of years. Combining ancient wisdom with practical investment strategies drawn from analysis of the greatest investors of all time, The Stoic Path to Wealth will teach you how to:
• cultivate an investing edge by managing your emotions and developing your unique skills and talents.
• develop the discipline to ignore short-term market fluctuations and avoid living in the future.
• foster a mindset that allows you to enjoy what you have and avoid greed.
• create a sustainable approach to trading.
As financial markets become increasingly unpredictable and chaotic, The Stoic Path to Wealth offers the key to weathering any economic storm while building wealth that will last a lifetime and beyond.
Brahmanda Purana
‘Among the eighteen classic Hindu texts called the Puranas, the Brahmanda Purana recounts the stories and lores associated with Brahma, the creator and one of the trinities of the supreme divinity along with Vishnu and Shiva. A relatively early Purana, its composition can be traced back to approximately 400 to 600 BCE, predating many other Hindu texts. While the first volume talks of the cosmology, creation, and geography, the lineages of rishis and shraddha rites, ending with Parashurama’s stoory, the highlight of volume 2 is its emphasis on Lalita’s greatness, the slaying of Bhandasura, Madana’s rebirth and the glory of Kamakshi. Translated and annotated from the original Sanskrit by Bibek Debroy, this edition of the Brahmanda Purana is a precious and rare volume for the lovers of Hindu mythology and religion.
This is the sixth volume in the Purana series; the others include the Bhagavata Purana, the Markandeya Purana, the Brahma Purana, Vishnu Purana, and the Shiva Purana.’
Accelerating India’s Development
Seventy-five years after Independence, India has much to be proud of. We are both the world’s biggest democracy and the fastest-growing large economy. Yet, we also face profound challenges that hinder both individual well-being and aggregate growth, including education and skills, health and nutrition, public safety, justice, social protection, and jobs.
This seminal book systematically analyses India’s governance challenges, especially in delivering essential public services, and highlights how these are limiting India’s development. Drawing on a wealth of research and practical insights, it provides actionable, evidence-based strategies, emphasizing state-level reforms as critical for India’s advancement.
Accelerating India’s Development is addressed to all Indians—leaders, officials, entrepreneurs, teachers, students, citizens, and civil society—and provides an urgent call to action. It argues that building a more effective state is the great unfinished task of Indian democracy, because quality public services are key to translating the political equality of ‘one person, one vote’ into greater equality of opportunity for all Indians.
Every chapter showcases the author’s dedication to bridging the gap between scholarly research, public understanding, and actionable governance. This book is a testament to cautious optimism and the belief that with the right public systems in place, India’s next twenty-five years can be a period of unprecedented growth and societal enrichment.

Wild Women
The names of Mirabai, Akka Mahadevi and Andal, are known to many, but innumerable women poets remain relatively unknown. When we hear of them, it is invariably as plaster saints or meek followers. It is time to smell the danger in their words again, to listen to their feral sensuality, their searing questions
about custodians of gender and faith. It is time to tune into their brazenness, their heartbreaking
longing. Not just for their sake but for ours too.
In this anthology of sacred poetry that arrives after the much-loved book, Eating God, Arundhathi Subramaniam weaves together haunting voices of, by and for women across the Indian subcontinent. Here is a lineage of audacious woman-centred spirituality that traverses the poetry of ancient Buddhist nuns,
Bhakti and Sufi mystics, tantrikas and Vedantins. There are women here, and men singing as women, and both raising their voices in praise of the sacred feminine. Brought to us through translation, these poems surprise with how intimately familiar their ravenous yearnings and ecstatic freedoms are. Wild Women invites us to reclaim an explosive inheritance of female power, rapture and wisdom.
Selected Essays
Kazi Nazrul Islam (1899-1976) is widely remembered as the fiery iconoclast who fought against the structures of oppression and orthodoxy. The iconic ‘rebel poet’ of Bengal, Nazrul continues to be loved for his songs and poetry. But what of his prose, his journalism, and his politics?
Selected Essays reveals to us the extraordinary versatility of Nazrul as an essayist. Addressing subjects as diverse as social reform, politics, communal harmony, environmental concerns, education, aesthetics, ethics, and philosophy, this rich collection showcases Nazrul’s dynamic vision and unique use of language as an instrument of change. The essays chart his evolving consciousness as a thinker, writer and activist, offering vivid glimpses of the ethos of his times, his relationships with leading figures such as Tagore and Gandhi, and his active engagement with social, political and cultural processes. These new translations bring Nazrul’s powerful voice to life, all its vibrant immediacy.
