The Cantonment Conspiracy

Two officers fresh out of the National Defence Academy (NDA) get posted at a laid-back military garrison on the banks of the Ganga River in Western UP. Lieutenant Rohit Verma comes from an army background, knows the ropes and generally has it easy. Lieutenant Renuka Khatri, on the other hand, is from a civilian background, and from the first batch of girl cadets admitted to the NDA. They both have to prove that they are worthy of being army officers. During a welcome party at the officers’ mess, one of the ladies is assaulted and the needle of suspicion falls on Rohit. A court of inquiry is ordered, with Renuka unearthing crucial evidence that points to more sinister connections.

When one of the witnesses due to depose before the court is murdered, it not only absolves Rohit but also starts the hunt for the real killer. Initially sceptical, the commandant throws his weight behind the investigation, which as it unfolds, reveals similarities to events rooted in the past. In their hunt for the suspect, Rohit and Renuka are assisted by Rehmat, a local village girl. The trio of Rohit-Renuka-Rehmat (RRR) must race against time to catch the killer before he can strike again.

Bharat Ek Khoj/भारत एक खोज

इस पुस्तक को पंडित जवाहरलाल नेहरू ने भारत की स्वतंत्रता से पहले 1942-1945 के दौरान अहमदनगर किले में कैद होने के दौरान लिखा था।
इसमें नेहरू जी ने सिंधु घाटी सभ्यता से लेकर भारत की आज़ादी तक विकसित हुई भारत की बहुविध समृद्ध संस्कृति, धर्म और अतीत का वैज्ञानिक दृष्टि से विश्लेषण किया है।
उन्होंने भारत के इतिहास के प्रति विभिन्न दृष्टिकोणों में सामंजस्य स्थापित करने का प्रयास किया और खुद को सामंजस्य का एक आदर्श प्रस्तुत किया।
जवाहरलाल नेहरू जी इस पुस्तक के बारे में स्वयं लिखते हैं कि इतिहास मनुष्य के संघर्ष की कहानी है; जंगली जानवरों और जंगल के विरुद्ध और अपने ही कुछ लोगों के विरुद्ध, जिन्होंने उसे दबाए रखने और अपने लाभ के लिए उसका शोषण करने की कोशिश की।

My Truth

Originally titled Mari Hakikat, this is the autobiography of one of the foremost figures in Gujarati literature: Narmadashankar Dave (1833–1886), popularly known as Narmad.

Make Room for Healing: 40 Tips from a Breast Cancer Survivor

Accessible, heartfelt, and witty, this short collection of simple, practical tips offers self-care, healing, and recovery, from a stage-3 breast cancer survivor.

“Before I started my treatment, I spoke to an oncologist at Johns Hopkins. He said, ‘Travis, you have to make room for treatment.’ He knew by speaking with me for just a few minutes I was trying to systematically plan each step like a project at work. That was not going to do. I heeded his advice, allowing myself the time and space to check in every day to see how I felt—to see what I needed and how to support myself.”

When Travis Brady was diagnosed with an aggressive form of breast cancer, she sought advice from friends, and their friends, and their friends of friends—women who had been treated before her. She needed tips to make this process smoother, gentler, and more manageable.

With this book, Travis offers you all the information she wished she had when she was first diagnosed—tips and practices that made her feel more in control in an uncontrollable situation.

The organization of this book is designed to sequentially walk with you through treatment. The first section, Support, helps you get started by assembling your care team, seeking a second opinion, and advocating for your health. In the next section, Prepare, Travis shares specific practices that helped her physically cope and find comfort. In Nourish, she gives you a short-cut to the nutritional choices that supported her body. Heal takes you through holistic health practices you may not have considered but might be open to now. And finally, Enjoy reminds you to cultivate experiences where you derive great pleasure and satisfaction.

“The key to all of this was asking for help and getting answers. I’ve put all that I learned and experienced in this guide. My hope is that it walks with you and helps you on your journey.”
