Heart Lamp Hindi / Hriday Deep / हृदय दीप
उस दौर में जब महिलाओं के लिए पढ़ाई बहुत मुश्किल थी, तब बानू मुश्ताक ने अंध परंपराओं को तोड़ा। कट्टरपंथी लोग जमकर उनके विरोध उतर पड़े, तो बानू डिप्रेशन की शिकार हो गईं। अपनी उलझनों को वे लेखनी के माध्यम से व्यक्त करने लगी। उनका कहना था कि जैसे कुछ अंदर टूट रहा हो। एक बार लगा कि ज़िंदगी ख़त्म कर लें। लेकिन पति ने उन्हें बचा लिया। इस अनुभव ने उन्हें और संवेदनशील बनाया, जो उनकी कहानियों में झलकता है।
बानू की ये कहानियाँ उनकी सामाजिक सक्रियता से जुड़ी हैं और कर्नाटक की मुस्लिम महिलाओं के दैनिक संघर्षों को बयां करती हैं। 1970 और 1980 के दशक में देखे गए दलित आंदोलन, किसान प्रदर्शन, भाषा आंदोलन और पर्यावरण की लड़ाई ने उन्हें सजग लेखन के लिए प्रेरित किया।
बानू की ये कहानियाँ आत्मकथात्मक हैं, जहाँ हकीकत और कल्पना का संगम है। वह कहती हैं, ‘मेरा दिल ही मेरा अध्ययन क्षेत्र है।’
उनकी कहानियाँ उन महिलाओं की आवाज़ बनती हैं, जो धर्म, समाज और राजनीति की बेड़ियों में जकड़ी हैं, लेकिन अपनी गरिमा और आज़ादी की खोज में हैं।
Unstoppable Us, Volume 3: How Enemies Become Friends, from the author of the multi-million bestselling Sapiens (Unstoppable Us, 3)
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER SERIES
From world-renowned historian and philosopher Yuval Noah Harari, bestselling author of Sapiens, comes the third thrilling, illustrated volume in the Unstoppable Us series—an unforgettable journey into how ancient enemies became allies and helped shape the world we live in today.
How do strangers—and even enemies—become friends?
The answer is one of the most surprising true stories in human history. Thousands of years ago, long before modern borders existed, people from different lands met, traded, told stories, and sometimes married. Through these connections, new cities rose, cultures blended, and shared languages and religions emerged. But when differences grew larger than similarities, neighbors could become rivals, sparking conflicts that changed the course of history.
In Unstoppable Us, Volume 3, Harari explores how early civilizations interacted across continents: exchanging food and ideas, travelling vast oceans, building mighty empires, and forming the first countries and communities. It’s a sweeping tale of cooperation and conflict—of how humans learned to unite, compete, and create the world we know.
Following the adventures of Volumes 1 and 2, this book continues the epic story of humankind with Harari’s signature clarity and humor. Complete with a map, timeline, and vivid full-color illustrations, Volume 3 brings history to life for curious young readers, showing how the friendships (and rivalries) of the past still shape our present.
Prepare to discover how enemies became friends—and how those friendships changed everything.

पुस्तक द बॉयफ़्रेंड एक रोमांचक प्रेम कहानी है, जहाँ प्यार, भरोसा और धोखा एक-दूसरे से टकराते हैं। कहानी ऐसे रिश्ते की है जो देखने में ख़ूबसूरत है, पर उसके पीछे छिपे हैं राज़, शक और दर्द। हर अध्याय के साथ कहानी एक नया मोड़ लेती है और पाठक को अंत तक बाँधे रखती है। यह किताब आज के समय के रिश्तों की सच्चाई को उजागर करती है—जहाँ प्यार दिल से नहीं, हालात से तय होता है।
Things We Don’t See
Things We Don’t See is the story of a boy from a small village who dared to dream beyond what he could see. It’s a journey powered by imagination, shaped by setbacks, fueled by questions about life, existence, and what it means to matter. From chasing butterflies and stories of ghosts to navigating corporate boardrooms and global strategy, L.C. Singh takes us through a life of sharp contrasts—rural innocence to global ambition, failure to recognition, longing to stillness. It’s a deeply human tale of becoming someone in the world’s eyes, only to discover that true action comes when it aligns with one’s purpose.
Told with honesty and quiet strength, this memoir explores the unseen threads that guide us—our inner drive, our curiosities, and our need to find peace not just in what we do, but in who we are.
At the edge of all ambition and all inquiry, he found what he wasn’t chasing: stillness.
