I Have the Streets

Ashwin is arguably the greatest match-winner for India in Test cricket. The fastest man to 300 Test wickets, he was a part of the team that won the 2011 World Cup in the ODI format. In T20 cricket, he has won two IPL titles and a Champions League T20. He is a feisty offspinner and more than a handy batter. But that’s only half the tale.

This nuanced portrait delves deep to paint a candid picture of a cricketer’s life before cricket—his struggles with health issues as a child, a middle-class family’s unwavering fight and determination to give him the resources he needed for a professional career in the sport, and the little joys of growing up in a cricket-mad gully.

How does a champion sportsman view the world? What drives him on and off the field? One of the more articulate and thoughtful cricketers, in this book, R. Ashwin tells his story with Sidharth Monga.

Despite having no formal qualifications or previous experience in the field, she found herself working in palliative care.

Why We Are Who We Are

We all have come across moments in life when we ask ourselves, ‘Who Am I?’ and ‘What’s my life purpose?’ But often, we simply stop after the inquiry and spend our lifetimes chasing some dream—financial, personal, or societal—without thinking of the bigger picture. This way, we miss out on uncovering the deeper reality of life, its real purpose, and most importantly, why we are who we are.

After her highly successful book, Living Spirituality, Meetu Bisht delivers an insightful text that brings us closer to understanding why we live the life that we live, the true purpose of our unique individual journeys, and the ways in which we can progress and evolve. The book elaborates on concepts such as soul personality and karmic mandates and also explains how our tendencies and certain karmic factors are responsible for our individual life scenarios and destinies.

Why We Are Who We Are is relevant for all those who are keen to get a deeper understanding of their inner state and grow spiritually by living a life of greater meaning and purpose and by becoming a higher version of the self.

Mai

Nestled within the walls of a home in a north Indian town, a vibrant microcosm thrives—a tapestry intricately woven by a joint family, their attendants and a continuous flow of visitors. Across three generations, women and men employ varied strategies of adaptation and achievement, choosing either to conform or to challenge the constraints of patriarchy.

At the epicentre of this intricate web stands Mai, the ostensibly gentle mother, orchestrating the complex patterns of relationships and actions, carving out a life not just for herself but for those around her. Despite her modern children’s attempts to liberate her from perceived confinement, the evolving story challenges simplistic notions of bondage and freedom. The novel masterfully weaves profound tales of love and loss, with Mai serving as its central and compelling figure.

Mai, Geetanjali Shree’s debut work, is a recipient of the Sahitya Akademi Award in 2002. In Nita Kumar’s translation, the narrative comes alive, inviting readers into this captivating exploration of family, relationships and the intricacies of freedom.

Sanjeev Bikhchandani, who started Naukri.com from the servant’s quarters above his father’s garage, using second-hand computers and furniture. And subsequently, grew the business to a point where they have an unbelievable 70 per cent share of the market for white-collar jobs. Harsh Jain of Dream11, who built a roaring fantasy sports platform when everyone advised him not to.

Bird Milk and Mosquito Bones

Mattoo never moved back to her beloved Kashmir—because it no longer existed. She and her family just kept packing and unpacking and moving on. In forty years, Mattoo accumulated thirty-two different addresses, and she chronicles her nomadic existence with wit, wisdom, and an inimitable eye for light within the darkest moments.
