Shiva: The God of Gods

He is Mahadeva, supreme and serene. He is Bhairava, full of wrath, annihilating all that is in his path. He is Mahakaal, encompassing time and eternity, a symbol of the end. He is the androgynous Ardhanarishvara, representing the balance of opposites. He is the lord of dance and protector of animals, he is a teacher and healer, the destroyer, but also the creator. He is a husband, a lover, a poet, and a warrior. He is the infinite Shiva, divine, yet human.

Shiva: God of Gods explores the many dimensions of Shiva and Shaivism, unpacking the history, mythology, folklore, and philosophy behind a deity whose paradoxes have long captivated both scholars and devotees. Moving beyond traditional religious study, the book offers a nuanced look at the theological and cultural currents that have shaped his presence across millennia. It also traces how Shiva has influenced – and been influenced by – those who worship him, inviting both the believer and the sceptic to encounter him not as a fixed figure, but as a living, evolving idea. Dr Nilima Chitgopekar’s uniquely expressive voice animates these histories and ideas, bringing these strands together into a narrative that is as compelling as it is insightful.

Shiva blends rare visual culture – classical paintings, modern artworks, artefacts, and photographs from sacred sites and festivals – with an evocative narrative, all of which seeks to illustrate the universality of Shiva and his philosophy, making it an ideal book for mythology and theology enthusiasts, followers of the Hindu faith and Shaivism, and those interested in Indian culture.

The Great Indian Tiffin Box

India’s food is as diverse as its people, changing dramatically in taste, technique and ingredients every few kilometres. One of our first introductions to this wide range of cuisines is through the tiffin boxes of our classmates. Carrying flavours from different families and cultures, these boxes hold many stories—of history, tradition and the country itself.

The Great Indian Tiffin Box is a delightful exploration of this culinary diversity, featuring a curated list of popular and unique dishes from each Indian state and union territory. Peppered with lesser-known facts and interesting recipes, this beautifully illustrated book is a celebration of India’s rich food heritage and is a perfect read for food enthusiasts and cultural explorers alike.

Every Happiness

Deepa and Ruchi are 12 years old when they meet at their Catholic school in India, but their connection is swift and lasting. As the two girls grow up and face their families’ expectations and the limits of their ambitions, their friendship is marked by intimacy, jealousy, and suppressed desire.

When, in their twenties, Deepa marries a doctor and moves from India to the suburbs of Connecticut, Ruchi quickly finds an engineer bound for the same state and follows her friend across the world. But life in the United States is different than either woman expects. Deepa’s daughter seeks affection Deepa refuses to give, and Ruchi’s son resists her smothering care. At the same time, Deepa and Ruchi find their closeness tested by a growing class disparity, competing family needs, and the differences in their desires. Ultimately, when Ruchi discovers a dangerous secret about Deepa’s husband’s wealth, both women are forced to weigh the tangled bonds of their friendship with their lives, and their families’, in the burgeoning Indian American community.

Every Happiness explores the slippery edges of a lifelong relationship, and the invisible threads that bind us, sometimes painfully, to those we love most.

Itihas Ki Thali / इतिहास की थाली

कोलंबस भारत नहीं आ सका, लेकिन उसके चक्कर में आलू आ गया और उस आलू ने हमारी आबादी को जिस रफ़्तार से बढ़ाया कि दुनिया देखती रह गई। ईसाई पादरी ‘क्रिसमस नहीं मनाएँगे’, कहते रह गए मगर बाज़ार ने उसे दुनिया का त्योहार बना डाला। कभी हीर और रांझे की प्रेम कहानी ने बासमती को अमेरिका की संपत्ति बनने से बचा लिया, तो कहीं परंपरा के नाम पर महिलाओं का पोषण ही रोक दिया गया। कभी एक फ़ास्टफ़ूड कंपनी ने कहा कि फ़ेमिनिस्ट होने का मतलब है खाना न पकाना, तो कभी केलों के व्यापार ने सरकारों को तानाशाह बना दिया। अगर अब्राहम लिंकन की वजह से बंबई को उसकी पावभाजी मिली, तो कोला कंपनियों ने खेल को धर्म और खिलाड़ियों को भगवान बनाया। रोटियों से क्रांति करने और नमक से सत्ता गिराने वाले देश में इतिहास की थाली इन तमाम घटनाओं के साथ-साथ, बिरयानी से लेकर 1947 के बँटवारे तक को एक नई नज़र से देखने की क्षमता देती है। क्योंकि हमारे हर निवाले में स्वाद के साथ-साथ इतिहास, व्यापार, संस्कृति, पहचान और साज़िशों की पूरी दुनिया छिपी होती होती है।
