Kalidasa is the greatest poet and playwright in classical Sanskrit literature and one of the greatest in world literature. Kalidasa is said to have lived and composed his work at the close of the first millennium BC though his dates have not been conclusively established. In all, seven of his works have survived: three plays, three long poems and an incomplete epic. Of these, this volume offers, in a brilliant new translation, his two most famous works-the play Sakuntala, a beautiful blend of romance and fairy tale with elements of comedy; and Meghadutam (The Cloud Messenger), the many-layered poem of longing and separation. Also included is Rtusamharam (The Gathering of the Seasons), a much-neglected poem that celebrates the fulfillment of love and deserves to be known better. Taken together, these works provide a window to the remarkable world and work of a poet of whom it was said: ‘Once, when poets were counted, Kalidasa occupied the little finger; the ring finger remains unnamed true to its name; for his second has not been found.’
Once a year, the Mumbai Marathon passes by Silverline Apartments.
This year, seven more women are racing to the finish.
Set in the heart of the city, Mumbai Marathon follows the complicated lives of seven women. An actress who will risk everything for a billboard. A psychiatrist who cannot outrun her own past. A maid who sells her grief to survive. A widow who mourns strangers. A socialite left behind by the spotlight. A woman who learns that motherhood can arrive without birth. And a rich girl who wants to matter.
Each stands between what was and what comes next, stumbling forward without spectacle or applause. Because for women, stopping is not an option.
Aarambhh M Singh’s Mumbai Marathon is a finely observed novel about identity, ambition, and desire. It is not a story of victory, but of motion—of lives lived in the long, ordinary middle. A quiet, compelling read that stays with you long after the pages stop turning.

Kidnapped and abandoned by his own mother, billionaire lawyer Ares Huxley built his life on ironclad rules. A wife was never part of the plan—until a promotion demands one.

between them, the more his restraint frays—until detachment feels like another kind of surrender.

But will the deal be just as valuable when the wrong woman becomes your wife…and the love of your life?
When the lines between obligation and desire blur, Ares must decide what terrifies him more: losing control—or losing the woman who was never supposed to be his wife.
