Temple Of Destiny- by Neeraj Singhvi

Story of a great adventure through a person's life – a young man travelling to India in search of answers to his life's mission. He comes to a place where his mentor provides him divine guidance. The story revolves around fishes in a bowl and how these as a medium help the young man change his mission in life by making him understand the intricacies thereon. It brings out nature's gift to the world and will provide reasons for your existence on this planet. It's about life's main system – the principle of connectivity and integration of mind, body, earth and the universe. 

It was a self-evaluating experience, which with its simple language touched my soul. It tells us to bond with nature to attain peace and to stay away from exploitation led by religion and terrorism. It is like an encyclopaedia to which we need to refer at every crossroad of life. —Kanchan Srimal (60)

This book has just mesmerised me. It has been an eye opener. It has made me realise the minutest details of our existence. Faith, patience, endurance all in oneself is most important. Do read the book in solace – understand every word and line deeply. For me it is like modern version of the “GITA”.   —Vishal Himatsingka (39)

The Wife The Mother And The Man In Between- by Vaishnavi Sanoj

As the world shrinks into one global village, people are more and more inclined to easy-way of doing things and so do i-Pads replace laptops, i-pods replace radios and that is all appreciated too. But when it comes to marriage there is almost no easy way to STAY married. There is none and there will be none in any millennium. Staying united all through a lifetime calls for lot of adjustments, patience and a mind that can forgive.

And since the past two decades our television serials have been attacking on mother-in-laws; portraying them in the worst ways as possible, so much that the very thought of a mother-in-law coming into life along with the marriage triggers tension into every bride. But let us take a different route in this book, and try to understand the woman called mother-in-law and why she reacts the way she does and also what can you do not just to STAY married but be loved by your spouse and his family as well.

Fate, Fraud & A Friday Wedding- by Bhavna Rai

It's an extravagant Friday night wedding at one of the glitziest venues in Delhi. A young call center executive falls to her knees, shot by a drunken ex-boyfriend who'd been blackmailing her.

Both Anand and Neel witness the event. One is the cause, the other, the effect.

This contemporary novel traces the journeys of two men, one from India to the US, as he relentlessly chases his dreams and the other from the US to India, as he returns grudgingly, for the sake of his family.

Caught between them is Tara Mehra, the woman they both love. One is her past, the other, her future.

Can Anand's immense personal wealth and corporate success erase the scars of being spurned by the woman he loved? Will he realise that the only thing holding back his vision, is the extent he is willing to go, to achieve it? Can Neel win the multimillion dollar bid and cement his status with his overbearing boss? Will his American girlfriend be able to get a wedding date out of him or will her efforts be thwarted by his mother's matchmaking? 

Set against the backdrop of the IT industry, where aggressive growth targets and billion dollar revenues go hand in hand with the dark underbelly of Internet fraud and manipulated share prices, this is a story of crisscrossing lives and intertwined personal and professional relationships.

The Ultimate Laugh- by Pranesh Prasad

It is the story of Tim, a bookshop proprietor, his wife, Sandy – an Indian, who are left helpless when the government decides to disenfranchise Indians in their country and Michael Manmohan Ram, who hears of the injustice about to be perpetrated and decides to leave the order and comfort of life in Australia to engage in an act of 'terrorism'.

Michael stays with his childhood friend, Tim and finds that he is no longer what he thought he was; that he is now looking at the world through his Western lens. To succeed in his mission he has to try to convince Tim to join forces with him. He also needs the help of Thakur – the deposed Prime Minister, who is now more interested in listening to ghazals than getting his hands dirty in politics. As Michael goes about preparing himself for his day of reckoning he finds that he is haunted by his past – his failed romances and his life lived in both India and Australia, which has the effect of pushing him further into delusion and self-absorption.

Does Michael succeed in his act of defiance? Can he restore self-respect to a much maligned community? Is he able to save himself from extinction?

In finding the answers to these questions, the reader will be able to view the response of an individual who has found what they were looking for and their behaviour when the first serious challenge to the notion of belonging, home and happiness arises. Through this, light is shed on the process through which 'terrorism' is born and the choices made by individuals who have nothing to lose.
