Nishant Kaushik’s book Chaos Down Under gives you an idea of how to manoeuver yourself through this labyrinth to get to the top. (Well, almost!)

The editor’s note of this compilation states that they ‘searched for stories and images that thrived independently, by their own definitions – islands of unique brilliance.’ Upon finishing the book, I can attest to the fact that the various works presented here definitely meet these criteria. This anthology consists of not only stories, but poems, images and even micro-fiction.

His weapons of slaughter includes knives, clubs, wires and sometimes even his bare hands. He makes it a point to dismember his victims and, if he is in the mood, eat their body parts. His bloody fingerprints are splattered all across Sweden and Norway and even Finland.

Letters To A Young Poet is a set of letters written between 1902-1908 by Rainer Maria Rilke to Franz Kappus. These aren’t words of advice or critique, but rather a call for young writers to look within themselves and find the place where words are born.

Often wrongly thought of as prostitutes, Geisha or Geiko are women of art, elegant entertainers and hostesses from the land of the rising sun. Dancing, singing and conducting intelligent conversations while adapting to the tastes of their guests are some of the talents they possess and refine, honing them over years of routine and hard work.

Catch-22 is a good book – there is no doubt about it. When you consider that the greater part of “World War II fiction” is synonymous with the works of Frederick Forsythe and Alistair Maclean, Catch-22 is a much needed breath of fresh air and possibly one of the most mature novels of its kind. Exciting the book definitely is, but is it important?
He came, he namaste-ed, he conquered. Narendra Modi is all set to become the first Indian Prime Minister in 30 years who need not dance to the tune of petulant allies, nor be controlled by ‘remote’ by a power-behind-the-throne. All Indians, whether they voted for him or not, have high expectations from our new PM. Will his 56-inch-chest thumping translate into practical benefits for all Indians, vikas and parivartan all around, and India Shining once more? Are happy days really here again? Only one thing is sure: 5 years later, there can be no excuses for failure. We wish our new PM all the best. Meanwhile, has the Gandhi family been washed away by the Modi wave? Is this (fingers crossed!) the end of dynastic politics in India? Sadly, if these news articles are to be believed, far from it. Sigh. Some things never change. As for a certain Gandhi-topi-ed gentleman… AAP ka kya hoga, janabeyaali, AAP ka kya hoga? Care to know more about Modi? Try this book. For more election-related tomes, take a look at these.
