Tan Ki Haar / तन की हार

‘कैलाश तुम्हारी पत्नी है। तुम्हारा कर्तव्य उसके लिए भी होना चाहिए। प्रत्येक संबंध अपनी जगह पर स्थिर रहना चाहिए। प्रत्येक संबंध को प्यार, स्नेह और सहृदयता दीजिए, जिसका यह अभिलाषी है। विवाहित जीवन में तुम्हें बदलना भी पड़ेगा। तुम्हारी ख़ुशी उसकी ख़ुशी है। उसकी ख़ुशी तुम्हारी ख़ुशी है और यही जीवन है।’

Tere Sapne Teri Baaten / तेरे सपने तेरी बातें

तेरे सपने, तेरी बातें संग्रह ने देश भर के कोनों से आए नए रचनाकारों को एक मंच दिया है। उनमें से चुनी गईं कहानियों में जहाँ युवा जज़्बात हैं, वही जिजीविषा और वही सवाल भी, जिनसे आज का नौजवान रोज़ गुज़रता है। ये कहानियाँ सिर्फ किस्से नहीं, बल्कि हमारे समय की दास्तान हैं—कभी शहर की भागदौड़, कभी गाँव की मिट्टी, कभी रिश्तों की पेचीदगी, तो कभी भीतर छिपे अकेलेपन और उम्मीद की सच्ची झलक।

The Miniaturist

In the sumptuous court of the emperor Akbar, in 16th century India, a group of artists begin the painstaking task of chronicling the emperor’s life. Bihzad is the son of the chief artist and as such, he is groomed to follow in his father’s footsteps. A child prodigy, Bihzad is shielded from life as he grows up in the stunning fortress town of Agra.
But as word of his talent spreads, rumours about the wild, passionate nature of his secret drawings bring his enemies out into the open. When the young artist breaches the rules of the court, they will use his art to destroy him.

The Opium Clerk

Hiran is born in 1857: the year of Mutiny and the year his father dies. Brought to Calcutta by his widowed mother he turns out to have few talents, apart from an uncanny ability to read a man’s fate in his palm. When luck gets him a job at the auction house, Hiran finds himself embroiled in a mysterious trade, and even more deeply embroiled in the affairs of his nefarious superior, the infamous Mr. Jonathan Crabbe.
Commissioned to procure a child for Mr. Crabbe’s opium addicted wife, he stumbles upon his own future. An unlikely hero, Hiran, the opium clerk, is caught up in rebellion and war, buffeted by storms at sea, by love and intrigue, innocently implicated in fraud and dark dealings.

The Inheritance of Loss

In a crumbling, isolated house at the foot of Mount Kanchenjunga in the Himalayas lives an embittered judge who wants only to retire in peace, when his orphaned granddaughter, Sai, arrives on his doorstep. The judge’s cook watches over her distractedly, for his thoughts are often on his son, Biju, who is hopscotching from one gritty New York restaurant to another. Kiran Desai’s brilliant novel, published to huge acclaim, is a story of joy and despair. Her characters face numerous choices that majestically illuminate the consequences of colonialism as it collides with the modern world.

The Couple at the Lakehouse

The Couple at the Lake House is a twisted, page-turning psychological thriller that will keep you questioning every smile, every secret, every fidelity until the very end.

‘My story showed what I wanted, and left out the ugly truth.’
Sidney, a bestselling author, is spiralling after a nervous meltdown.

After a sold-out reading, she settles down for dinner with her fiancé. But Cole, a former paramour, approaches them, his new girlfriend in tow. Against her better judgement, they agree to join the couple.

Then comes an unexpected offer: a getaway at Cole’s lake house.

At first, it’s picture-perfect—two couples laughing, tipping over glasses of wine. But why do the smiles feel taut, rehearsed?

A lake house. Old flames. New enemies. Deadly games.

As she senses danger closing in, Sidney must decide how far she’s willing to go to escape—because walking away was never part of the plan, was it?

James Caine delivers another shocking tale of love lost and found, and the games people play when no one’s watching.

The Complete Adventures of Feluda 1 & 2

This incredible boxset features the ever-popular adventures of Satyajit Ray’s enduring creation, the professional sleuth Pradosh C. Mitter (Feluda). In his escapades, Feluda is accompanied by his cousin Topshe and the bumbling crime writer Lalmohan Ganguly (Jatayu). From Jaisalmer to Simla, from the Ellora Caves to Varanasi, from Puri to Kedarnath, from Kathmandu to London, the trio traverse fascinating locales to unravel one devious crime after another.

The Waking Dead

A haunting in the Indian heartland ends with a priest’s violent death.

Enter Samir Grey—fiendishly intelligent, terminally unsociable and catastrophically human. No divine
visions, no lightning-shaped scar—just a mind that won’t quit and a tongue sharp enough to draw blood.
To uncover the truth, Samir must descend into a nightmare of uniquely Indian horrors: corpse-eating
vetalas, vengeful pishachs, ghouls, demons, and the most terrifying of all, bureaucracy and red tape.

Wickedly funny and blisteringly acerbic, The Waking Dead drags urban horror kicking and
screaming into small-town India, where folklore and reality bleed into each other—and the real monsters
may be the ones still breathing.

Bhima’s Wife

Before Draupadi, there was Hidimbi. The first, the eldest Pandava daughter-in-law—a status denied to her through her life, through the years, down the centuries. She remains the forgotten wife, the forgotten queen, the forgotten woman, in the Mahabharata.
Hidimbi was a demoness by birth and a queen by right. In the shadows of the great Indian epic, she stands alone. She saved Bhima. She bore his son. She stood by the family that killed her brother. And when the call of war came, she sacrificed her only child—Ghatotkacha, the first Pandava grandson—for a cause that never truly embraced her.
Why was her story never told? Was it because she was a rakshasi, or because the heroes of the epic could do no wrong?
This powerful reimagining gives voice to Hidimbi and her story of love and betrayal, strength and sacrifice.
