If it is not so, it will become hell to live,
And every person a living dead,
So, don’t forget that you are Sohal,

Whose name is enough to frighten the enemies,
when you are in front of them,
they hold their breaths,
Because they do not know,
whether they will survive the next moment or not.’

Blurb:
Before I came to be known as the greatest sailor in the world, I was a young monster hunter who fell in love.
As all legendary love stories go, things were . . . well, not smooth sailing. And of course, there was the problem of the Armageddon.
So I set sail across the seven seas to hoodwink a Greek god, crash a vampire wedding, mollycoddle a giant and face the Angel of Death.
And as the hourglass turned, I had:
Seven days to save the world.
Seven days to kill the only girl I have ever loved.

Coaching
This book lucidly illustrates how a leader can bring out the very best in people by coaching them, and how coaching can unleash creativity as well as innovation while inspiring teams to play to their potential. It also examines how coaching helps leaders maintain a fine balance between managing and guiding, and between appraising and supporting their teammates. While many excellent books have been written about leadership, talent and coaching, this is a rare book that stands boldly at the intersection of leadership and coaching.
This is a book for our times. Businesses are facing a new reality, characterized by a VUCA (volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous) world. This new reality has forced organizations to depart from conventional command-and-control practices to a completely new model – a model in which leaders support and guide, rather than instruct and control, their team members.
Exploring some of the key ingredients of impactful leadership, Coaching offers tips and tricks, backed by research and incisive insights, on how to become an effective leader-coach. Peppered with interesting anecdotes and analogies, drawn from sports, performing arts and other walks of life, the book is a breezy read. Interviews with corporate leaders and academics further enrich the narrative. Guaranteed to make for a very interesting read, the book will be useful to leaders, aspiring leaders and especially those that wish to transition from being just good leaders to extraordinary ones.
Tamanna Ab Tum Kahan Ho
The feeling of not belonging is very strong in these stories and almost as strong and sharp is the vision which not just inhabits the characters but also peeps into the psyche of its readers. But also alongside is a reassurance, a feeling of oneness. At the centre of these stories is this duel between oneness and separation. Nidheesh’s stories portray the complexities of life in modern urban areas and also the sense of alienation. The stories portray the shallowness of life not just in its telling but also in its structure- some are just oneliners.
