Why do we repeat the same patterns in love, work, and life even when we long to change? Why do similar relationships, illnesses, and challenges return again and again — and feel like fate?
In this groundbreaking and deeply human book, Dr. Rajan Sankaran invites us to look beyond behavior and emotion into the hidden patterns that shape our lives — what he calls the Six Soul Types: the Oyster, Snail, Bird, Dog, Horse, and Lion.
Each type is a way of perceiving and protecting ourselves — our unique rhythm of being. Through stories, reflections, and guided exercises, The Six Soul Types reveals how our deepest patterns influence love, conflict, and healing — and how awareness can free us from them.
This is not a book about changing others; it is about knowing yourself.
When we truly meet ourselves, love becomes simpler, relationships become clearer, and life begins to flow — naturally, effortlessly.
Profound yet practical, poetic yet precise, The Six Soul Types is a companion for anyone seeking to grow from reaction to awareness, from pattern to presence, from the soul to the whole.

The Undocumented
In May 2009, Cyclone Aila tore through the Sundarbans of Bangladesh, swallowing everything Safrat had built: her land, her livestock, her livelihood. What it left behind was not a choice but an ultimatum: stay and slowly disappear or cross the border into India.
The Undocumented follows Safrat and her two children, Nur and Nabeel, as they journey from the delta’s edge to Kolkata, shedding names, faith and identities to survive. It is the story of a border crossed and an identity hidden, but also of a family struggling to remain together even as it fractures from within.
Drawn from thirteen years of fieldwork on the fringes of a Kolkata slum—years spent earning trust and reading silences—this book offers a rare and intimate account of why people leave their homes, how they cross over to a strange, unknown land and what it takes to build a life on the other side.
The State League
Prithvi is back—older, sharper, and hungry to prove himself at Elite Sports F.C. When a glittering new youth league promises foreign scouts, European tours and IPL-style broadcasts, his dreams finally feel within reach.
But the beautiful game has a dark side. Matches are being fixed. Players are being groomed. And those in charge are looking away. As Prithvi fights to stay relevant, the ugly trail leads closer to home than he ever imagined. Meanwhile, his best friend on the team—a boy from Manipur—is at the centre of a national controversy, fracturing a bond that once felt unbreakable.
In a league where results can be decided before kick-off and ambition and loyalty are questioned, Prithvi faces a gut-wrenching choice: stay silent and chase the win, or risk everything to speak out?
Women in Blue
From dusty small-town fields and makeshift pitches, sixteen extraordinary women rise to cricketing glory through sheer talent, resilience and a shared dream. Meet trailblazers like Harmanpreet Kaur, Smriti Mandhana, Jemimah Rodrigues and Deepti Sharma—who battled scarce resources and sky-high odds to forge a team that powered India to its historic 2025 World Cup victory.
From a girl who disguised herself as her brother to play cricket to a world champion who first played the game with sticks and potatoes, this book is no stats sheet. Discover how these heroes overcame challenges, ignored the odds and achieved a triumph that inspired millions.
Vivid, action-packed and deeply inspiring, Women in Blue captures the sweat, the cheers and the sisterhood behind the greatest moment in Indian women’s cricket.
The Big Book of Kashmiri Literature
This anthology of literature translated from the Kashmiri language is the first of its kind. It is as much an introduction into the literary landscape of Kashmir as a journey through its history. From premodern
verse to radio plays, folk chants to metaphysical ghazals, flash fiction to excerpts from a novel, The Big Book of Kashmiri Literature is compilation of memory and an anthology of voices.
The reader will encounter scholars, saints, experimental dramatists and unlettered poets starting from the fourteenth century to today. Kashmir has a thriving oral tradition, a literary culture that borrowed from the East and a print culture that engaged with the West and it all comes together in this volume with a promise of immersion into the emotional topography of the land, the language and the people.
The Ghost of the Mountains
THE VIVID ACCOUNT OF A LEADING CONSERVATIONIST’S EFFORTS TO FIND, STUDY AND PROTECT SNOW LEOPARDS
Snow leopards have a special grip on the human imagination, a symbol of the mysteries that still exist on our planet. These elusive predators live solitary lives in the highest reaches of the Himalaya, moving along rock faces like smoke. They are also the flagship species of Himalayan conservation, key to preserving this austere, delicate ecosystem.
Kulbhushansingh Suryawanshi is one of the world’s leading snow leopard scientists. In The Ghost of the Mountains, he offers an evocative and personal account of his decades of work in this field, from his exhilarating adventures on the high peaks to his eff orts to build a community based, collaborative model for protecting the snow leopards and their remaining habitat. That habitat is increasingly under threat as encroaching development, ongoing armed conflict, and rapidly intensifying climate change transform this region.
Thrilling, illuminating, and filled with transportive storytelling, The Ghost of the Mountains reveals the challenges facing a beautiful, fragile ecosystem in the midst of a major transition. As Suryawanshi describes his crucial work as a conservationist in a rapidly changing world, he also conveys an infectious sense of wonder. For him, every snow leopard encounter is still a transcendent experience, offering a renewed sense of meaning and purpose.
Swarn, Rakt Aur Brhamputra / स्वर्ण, रक्त और ब्रह्मपुत्र
क्या आप जानते हैं कि भारत के उत्तर-पूर्व में एक ऐसा साम्राज्य भी था जिसने लगभग छह सौ वर्षों तक अपनी सत्ता, संस्कृति और अस्मिता को अक्षुण्ण रखा—और जिसके सामने मुगल साम्राज्य भी कभी स्थायी विजय प्राप्त नहीं कर सका? अहोम साम्राज्य उसी विस्मृत इतिहास की रोमांचकारी, शोधपूर्ण और मानवीय कथा है। सन 1212 में मोंगमाओ से निकले एक विस्थापित राजकुमार सुकाफा की कठिन यात्रा से प्रारंभ होकर 1826 की यांडाबो संधि तक फैली यह पुस्तक ब्रह्मपुत्र घाटी के उस अद्भुत राज्य की कहानी कहती है जिसने आधुनिक असम की नींव रखी। बुरंजियों, शोधग्रंथों, लोककथाओं और वर्षों के अध्ययन पर आधारित यह पुस्तक हिंदी पाठकों के लिए उस इतिहास का द्वार खोलती है जो अब तक मुख्यतः असमिया और अंग्रेज़ी तक सीमित रहा है। इसमें मिलेगा—सुकाफा का उदय, हिंदू और अहोम परंपराओं का संगम, पाइक शासन-व्यवस्था, शंकरदेव के नववैष्णव आंदोलन का प्रभाव, लचित बोरफूकन की वीरता और सराईघाट का निर्णायक युद्ध, मोआमारिया विद्रोह की उथल-पुथल, बर्मी आक्रमण का भयावह दौर और अंततः अंग्रेज़ी सत्ता के अधीन एक महान साम्राज्य का अवसान।

फिनोलॉजी लीगल के माध्यम से एक ओर जहाँ मार्गदर्शन मिलता है, वहीं महत्त्वपूर्ण जानकारियों की मदद से स्टॉक और म्यूचुअल फंड में निवेश करने वालों के लिए भी यह समान रूप से उपयोगी है। इसके अलावा कानून की पढ़ाई के लिए ही नहीं वरन, यह पुस्तक वकीलों, राजनेताओं, राजनीति में करियर बनाने के लिए उत्साहित युवाओं और प्रतियोगी परीक्षा की तैयारी करने वाले छात्रों के लिए भी एक एक उत्कृष्ट परिचयात्मक पुस्तक है।
I am my own Laxmi Hindi / Main Hoon Apni Dhanlakshmi / मैं हूँ अपनी धनलक्ष्मी
मैं हूँ अपनी धनलक्ष्मी केवल पैसों की किताब नहीं, बल्कि हर उस महिला की कहानी है जिसने जीवन की हर ज़िम्मेदारी निभाई, लेकिन अपने वित्तीय अधिकारों को अकसर पीछे छोड़ दिया। भारतीय संस्कृति में लक्ष्मी को धन की देवी माना जाता है, पर क्या लक्ष्मी केवल पूजा तक सीमित हैं? या वे वहाँ भी निवास करती हैं जहाँ महिलाएँ अपने आर्थिक निर्णयों का अधिकार स्वयं अपने हाथ में लेती हैं? अपने अनुभवों, वास्तविक कहानियों और वर्षों से महिलाओं के साथ किए गए संवादों के आधार पर, यह पुस्तक एक महत्त्वपूर्ण सवाल उठाती है—आख़िर इतनी सक्षम, शिक्षित और आत्मविश्वासी महिलाएँ भी पैसों के मामले में ख़ुद को असहज क्यों महसूस करती हैं?
