On January 15, 2009, the world witnessed a remarkable emergency landing when Captain "Sully" Sullenberger skillfully glided US Airways Flight 1549 onto the Hudson River, saving the lives of all 155 passengers and crew. His cool actions not only averted tragedy but made him a hero and an inspiration worldwide. His story is now a major motion picture from director / producer Clint Eastwood and stars Tom Hanks, Laura Linney and Aaron Eckhart.

Sully's story is one of dedication, hope, and preparedness, revealing the important lessons he learned through his life, in his military service, and in his work as an airline pilot. It reminds us all that, even in these days of conflict, tragedy and uncertainty, there are values still worth fighting for—that life's challenges can be met if we're ready for them.]]> 352 Chesley B.

Maher was found unconscious in the middle of the highway and later, in the hospital, she revealed that she had escaped from a killer's house. All the details and patterns matched the serial killer 'Kansa,' who had disappeared five years ago after murdering forty pregnant women. ACP Saargi Desai was assigned to the case. She appealed to her department to bring back Professor Black to help her catch the killer. The Professor, who had a haunting past that had kept him away from the world of crime and investigation for several years, was not willing to take on this case. But the ACP managed to convince him to get on board just for this one last time. Soon after agreeing to help, the Professor realized that for the first time in his life, he had met his match. As he dug deeper into the case, everything got dirtier, the stakes went higher, and nothing was what it seemed.]]> 410 Prassant Kevin 8193240529 �پ���é���ٴǰ� 0 to-read 3.99

Two sixteen-year-old boys are all set to take on their board exams. Set in the lush greenery of the 1990’s Assam, this walk down the nostalgic lane is replete with references to the teenage years of any kid, tongue-in-cheek humor and laugh-out-loud moments. The narrative transports you to your own teenage years as you look back fondly reminisce on your own journey.

The boys are different �� average in science and maths, but with their own equations for life, spirited yet sensitive, with a thousand questions and sassy answers.

Rendered through the eyes of a young lad who couldn’t be bothered by the rat race, Chasing the dreaded 33% is sure to leave you smiling and laughing your gut out with the writer’s wry sense of humor!

This book is a beautiful reminder that life is far more than just numbers that are ascribed to you after testing your memory against unfair standards.]]> 190 Jitendra Jain 1946822957 �پ���é���ٴǰ� 0 to-read 3.55

There are millions of them - these Indian wandering renunciants, begging monks, mystical walkers, roaming philosophers, miracle-workers, hashish smokers, holy men... but little is known about them. They are often photographed yet their words are seldom heard.

Some began this way of life from childhood, others were civil servants, shop keepers, real estate agents, thieves... they left their families and jobs to become renunciants, sadhus. They refuse to work; and vow not to accept any wages. They pursue the path of liberation.

A few accomplish rigorous austerities, but most of them dedicate themselves to non-action. In a world verging on its short term ecological doom and demographic tsunami, the sadhus are the messengers of a kind of freedom and moderation that our commercial civilization has forgotten, with its preaching of labour, consumption, economic growth and competition.

Patrick Levy recounts their everyday lives, the respect they are given and how they make use of it, their teachings, their philosophy and the way they transform it into a lifestyle.

'Sadhus' is a novel written in the form of a road movie. It is a spiritual journey into the world of the sadhus.

*The Author*

Patrick Levy is a French writer who lives six months a year in Uttar Pradesh, India, his second mother , as he likes to say.

He is a strange phenomenon amongst authors on the spirituality scene. He claims to be an atheist but is greatly interested in religions and spirituality. "Everything that belongs to humanity, belongs to me," he says to justify his broad curiosity.

He has travelled the world in search of spiritual masters and experiences; practiced Kabbalah, Sufism, Buddhism and Vedanta, and has published books about his explorations.

'Does God believe in God?'- his first book, established the direction of this spiritual globetrotter's atypical course. He recounted his ten year long spiritual quest in the study and practice of five different religions. His approach to religions and spiritual practices has been one of caution but also depth, going beyond dogmas and beliefs with humour and candour.

His previous book, 'The Kabbalist', (also translated in Hebrew) is a best-seller in France and was awarded a Special distinction by the panel of judges of "Spirituality Today" prize in 2002.]]> 320 Patrick Levy 8172343345 �پ���é���ٴǰ� 0 to-read 4.06 2009

It might be a truth universally acknowledged that a single man in possession of a good fortune, or at least a piece of land, must be in want of a wife, but Marimuthu's path to marriage is strewn with obstacles big and small. Inward-looking, painfully awkward, desperately lonely and deeply earnest, Marimuthu is fuelled by constant rejection into an unforgettable and transformative matrimonial quest. Enter a series of marriage brokers, horoscopes, infatuations, refusals and 'bride-seeing' expeditions gone awry, which lead Marimuthu to a constant re-evaluation of his marital prospects.

But this is no comedy of manners, and before long we find ourselves reckoning with questions of agricultural change, hierarchies of caste, the values of older generations and the grim antecedents of Marimuthu's poor prospects, as decades of sex-selective abortion have destroyed the fabric of his community and its demographics.

Perumal Murugan's Resolve is both a cultural critique and a personal journey: in his hands, the question of marriage turns into a social contract, deeply impacted by the ripple effects of patriarchy, inequality and changing relationships to land and community. In this deceptively comic tale that savagely pierces the very heart of the matter, translated with deft moments of lightness and pathos by Aniruddhan Vasudevan, Perumal Murugan has given us a novel for the ages.]]> 422 Perumal Murugan �پ���é���ٴǰ� 0 to-read 3.87

2006, GERMANY, FIFA WORLD CUP.

In Berlin, a killer begins targeting the most dangerous criminals and brands his victims with the symbol of the swastika. The day of each murder coincides mystically with the navagrahas, the days sacred to the nine planetary gods in Hindu mythology. And the dates correspond to hidden horrors of the historical past.

Only one man can decipher and look beyond symbols �� the unassuming Bala, the sharpest sleuth in the Indian Intelligence Bureau.

The chase of a lifetime begins!

7/11, MUMBAI EXPLODES

Three friends who were born and grew up in the city's brothels, thrown apart by riots, are brought together by the swastika.

The killer takes them into the streets of Mumbai, to the den of underworld kings, inside prison complexes, terrorist cells and the snake pit called Bollywood.

They will need more than friendship, love, and luck to survive.

Is the swastika killer a self-proclaimed vigilante, out to end evil?

To find out, and put an end to the killings, Bala will have to go to the beginning. The past that lies hidden in the streets of Old Delhi.

KILLING FIELDS

The killer moves through Afghanistan and Pakistan to target the world’s most guarded man. It will change the course of our history.

Friendship will be tested with blood and death.

Can Bala stop the killer?

Can the blood-thirsty navagrahas be pacified?]]> 407 Mahendra Jakhar �پ���é���ٴǰ� 0 to-read 3.93 2017

What appears at first to be a commonplace crime by a debt-ridden, cuckolded husband, who has killed his unfaithful wife and then hung himself, soon begins to unfold as a baffling mystery.

As clues point to a seven-year-old unsolved murder in Bangalore and other leads emerge closer home, Saralkar and Motkar find themselves investigating shady secrets, bitter grudges, fishy land deals, carnal desires, the dead woman Anushka Doshi’s sinister obsession with past life regression and her husband’s links to a suspicious, small-time god-man, Rangdev Baba. And then, suddenly, the murderer resurfaces and yet another life is in grave danger . . .

Can Saralkar and Motkar get to the bottom of an unimaginably shocking motive and stop the malevolent killer from committing the fourth murder . . .?]]> 328 Salil Desai 8175994258 �پ���é���ٴǰ� 0 to-read 3.82 2017

Jay Singh is the best defence lawyer in New Delhi that money can buy. But Jay Singh is a closet alcoholic; he has a dark and ominous past. His mother has been accused and convicted of killing his father..something he doesn't accept even after twenty years.

Flamboyant, wicket, lethal, Jay Singh never loses a case, though his methods might not always be within the law. If the law is after you - guilty or not - there is only one man who can save you. If Jay Singh takes your case, witnesses for the prosecution disappear or turn hostile, evidence evaporates, technology and science fail to provide any cogent support. What's more - Jay Singh can even provide you with an ironclad alibi.

And then he gets a case that can completely destroy him.

If he loses the high-profile he can kiss his career goodbye ; if he wins the case he better keep his obituary ready.]]> 289 Vish Dhamija �پ���é���ٴǰ� 0 to-read 3.74 2015

Professor Bharadvaj is more than just another whisky-loving, gun-toting historian-for-hire. Behind the assumed identity of the cynical academic is a man who has walked the earth for scores of years. He is Asvatthama - the cursed immortal, the man who cannot die.
When Professor Bharadvaj is approached by the enigmatic Maya Jervois to search for a historical artefact unlike any other, he is reluctant to pursue it. The object in question, the Vajra, is rumoured to possess incredible alchemical powers, but the Professor does not believe it exists. After all, he has spent many lifetimes - and identities - searching for it, in a bid to unearth the secret to his unending life.

Yet, as the evidence of its existence becomes increasingly compelling, the Professor is plunged into an adrenaline-fuelled adventure that takes him from the labyrinthine passages beneath the Somnath temple to the legendary home of the siddhas in the Nilgiris, and finally into the deserts of Pakistan to solve a confounding puzzle left behind by the ancients.

But who is behind the dangerous mercenaries trying to thwart his discoveries at every step? And is the Professor - a legendary warrior in a long-ago life �� cursed to walk the path of death and bloodshed forever?]]> 408 Krishna Udayasankar 9351950085 �پ���é���ٴǰ� 0 to-read 3.49

Now the Firewrights rise from the ashes of the past, divided as before in purpose and allegiance, and no one, it seems, can stand in the way of the chaos about to be unleashed on the land �� not the Firstborn, not the kings of Aryavarta, and not Govinda Shauri.

A man dumps his aged father in an old-age home after declaring him to be a homeless stranger, a tribal chief in the Sahyadri hills teaches the author that there is humility in receiving too, and a sick woman remembers to thank her benefactor even from her deathbed. These are just some of the poignant and eye-opening stories about people from all over the country that Sudha Murty recounts in this book. From incredible examples of generosity to the meanest acts one can expect from men and women, she records everything with wry humour and a directness that touches the heart.

A true story, The Buddha of the Brothel is a poignant look into the world of godmen, spiritual seekers, and the men and women whose lives are ruled by the sex market and its overlords. Advaya’s account, written in refreshingly sparkling prose, is by turns anguished, humorous, hopeful, and bewildered, as he wades through a world he had never expected to encounter.
Sure to appeal to readers of Gregory Roberts’s Shantaram with its less than glittering setting, this is a literary memoir that opens readers�� eyes and minds and will not let go easily of their imaginations.

About the Author

Kris Advaya emerged from the void in Yugoslavia in the spring of 1976. After crawling his way through a stint in the military, and already multilingual, he spent five years studying French, Russian, and literature at the University of Ljubljana. Always artistic, he spent most of these years writing songs and abusing an electric guitar while playing with his alternative rock band. Soon afterwards, life took him to India and its enticing ways, and he’s been trying to cure himself of nomadism ever since.]]> 336 Kris Advaya 9386538091 �پ���é���ٴǰ� 0 to-read 3.53

Also NR begins to realize that his son, Krishna, who is being groomed by Vyasa as Vishnu's avatar, is nothing more than a pawn in Vyasa's scheme of things. Other incidents of Mahabharata also unfold according to the original epic. Pandavas and Kauravas grow up hating each other and finally the restaging plan culminates with both the warring sets of cousins facing each other in the battlefield of Kurukshetra.
Inexplicably, like the original epic, Arjuna develops cold feet seeing his own cousins, teachers and relatives on the opposite side. He seeks Krishna's divine intervention.

MyMagicHat, a high-value, supercharged Bangalore-based e-tailer is on the verge of an unprecedented gamble when suddenly, things start going awry. The company unexpectedly runs out of cash and, to make matters worse, a massive data theft follows. A critical funding round is stalled.

Is someone trying to kill MyMagicHat?

When Inspector Dhruvi Kishore is brought in to investigate, she finds that in the dog-eat-dog world of e-tailing, crime too, is driven by technology. Hidden in the mountains of data and unverified claims lie clues to a massive fraud �� one that justifies anything. Even murder.

Saboteur is the third novel in RV Raman’s corporate thriller series that explores white-collar crime in India.

Hindustan Times:

“RV Raman knows how to take the simplest of subjects (which are relevant, too) and turn them into novels that you wouldn’t want to put down.��

“Raman stays true to his reputation of delivering an intricate plot with characters of substance, the right dose of suspense and bind it all together by keeping the narrative pacy. The corporate setup is easy to understand even for those with no business background.��

"Every reader will be compelled to treat the case at hand as if they are the person solving it, because Raman’s narrative (which at times will remind you of Agatha Christie’s work) allows you to speculate and theorise quite often"]]> 352 R.V. Raman 935195076X �پ���é���ٴǰ� 0 to-read 4.41

In modern times, a poor little rich boy grows up believing that he is that final avatar.

Only, he is a serial killer.

In this heart-stopping tale, the arrival of a murderer who executes his gruesome and brilliantly thought-out schemes in the name of God is the first clue to a sinister conspiracy to expose an ancient secret—Krishna’s priceless legacy to mankind.

Historian Ravi Mohan Saini must breathlessly dash from the submerged remains of Dwarka and the mysterious lingam of Somnath to the icy heights of Mount Kailash, in a quest to discover the cryptic location of Krishna’s most prized possession. From the sand-washed ruins of Kalibangan to a Vrindavan temple destroyed by Aurangzeb, Saini must also delve into antiquity to prevent a gross miscarriage of justice.

Seven culprits, seven phone calls.

College student, Kaushik, is the son of an honest and straightforward IAS officer.

His father’s murder sets him on the path of revenge, making him hunt the seven culprits who had come together to plot and execute the evil deed.

How Kaushik, with the help of his friends, and lady love Meera, uses technology to kill, forms the crux of this exciting and racy novel.

The author uses dialogue and suspense to keep up the pace of narrative, even as the twists and turns keep you glued to the pages of the novel.

Can the police nab Kaushik?

Can Kaushik continue to elude the lawmakers?

Turn the pages to find out."]]> 240 Narsimha Bhatt 9352069714 �پ���é���ٴǰ� 0 to-read 0.0

He doesn't feel the need to earn his own money - why bother when his dad's done it for him? Raman retires at 27 to pursue his idea of bliss - getting high on pot, perfecting the art of sitting still while moving just his ears (his only talent) and watching life go by.

It’s all going fine for Raman till a rare visit to the temple sparks off a series of events that threaten Raman's world view of life. Raman’s responses swing wildly from the normal to the dramatic to the ridiculous. He resorts to disguise, spies on people, breaks the law and generally subverts the system. "All for the good, mate!"
