From the no. 1
bestselling author of The Kite Runner and A Thousand Splendid Suns, the
book that readers everywhere have been waiting for: his first novel in
six years.
So, then. You want a story and I will tell you one...
Afghanistan,
1952. Abdullah and his sister Pad live with their father and
step-mother in the small village of Shadbagh. Their father, Saboor, is
constantly in search of work and they struggle together through poverty
and brutal winters. To Adbullah, Pad, as beautiful and sweet-natured as
the fairy for which she was named, is everything. More like a parent
than a brother, Abdullah will do anything for her, even trading his only
pair of shoes for a feather for her treasured collection. Each night
they sleep together in their cot, their skulls touching, their limbs
tangled.
One day the siblings journey across the desert to
Kabul with their father. Pad and Abdullah have no sense of the fate that
awaits them there, for the event which unfolds will tear their lives
apart; sometimes a finger must be cut to save the hand.
Crossing generations and continents, moving from
Kabul, to Paris, to San Francisco, to the Greek island of Tinos, with
profound wisdom, depth, insight and compassion, Khaled Hosseini writes
about the bonds that define us and shape our lives, the ways that we
help our loved ones in need, how the choices we make resonate through
history, and how we are often surprised by the people closest to us.

Avoiding Armageddon : America, India, and Pakistan to the Brink and Back
Price: Rs.499 offer price rs 400
The
India—Pakistan—America relationship has never been a settled one. In
Avoiding Armageddon, Bruce Riedel explains the challenge and the
importance of successfully managing America's affairs with these two
emerging powers and their toxic relationship. The fact that India and
Pakistan will be among the most important countries in the twenty-first
century makes this a pressing concern.
Born from the
British Raj, the two nations share a conmion heritage, but they are
different in many important ways. India is already the world's largest
democracy and will soon become the planet's most populous nation.
Pakistan, soon to be the fifth most populous country, has a troubled
history of military coups, dictators, and harboring terrorists such as
Osama bin Laden.
The long-time
rivals are nuclear powers, with tested weapons. They have fought four
wars with each other and have gone to the brink of war several times.
Meanwhile, U.S. presidents since Franklin Roosevelt have been
increasingly involved in the region's affairs In the past two decades
alone, the White House has intenened several times to prevent nuclear
confrontation in the subcontinent. South Asia clearly is critical to
American national security, and the volatile relationship between India
and Pakistan is the crucial factor determining whether the region can
ever be safe and stable.
Full of
riveting details of what went on behind the scenes, and based on
extensive research and Riedel's role in advising four U.S. presidents on
the region, Avoiding Ai mageddon reviews the history of American
diplomacy in South Asia, the . . . continued from the front flap crises
that have flared in recent years, and the prospects for future crisis.
Riedel provides an in-depth look at the Mumbai terrorist attack in 2008,
the worst terrorist outrage since 9/11, and he concludes with
authoritative analysis on what the future is likely to hold for America
and the South Asia puzzle as well as recommendations on how Washington
should proceed.

Description
Dear Reader,
While
aboard the HMS Beagle, young Charles Darwin wrote, ‘The race is for the
strong. I shall probably do little more but be content to admire the
strides others made in Science.’ Years later he noted, ‘I am turned into
a sort of machine for observing facts and grinding out conclusions.’ If
as a youth Darwin feared the possibility of his own insignificance and
then went on to become one of the most influential thinkers of modern
times,there is reason for optimism that our age will also produce great
thinkers and doers.
It
is this transition from self-doubt to optimism that inspires The
Captainship. The Captainship is a collection of first-person narratives
of nine first-generation Indian entrepreneurs, among India’s most
respected for their value-based approach to organization building. The
purpose of this collection is to share the journeys of the entrepreneurs
as ordinary youths, with all the normal joys and insecurities of
childhood and adolescence. The title The Captainship is inspired by the
famous line from William Ernest Henley’s poem ‘Invictus’: ‘I am the
master of my fate: I am the captain of my soul.’
Each
interview began with a question about the entrepreneur’s first memory.
One man’s first memory is of fal ling into a septic tank ina village in
the days when he and his family lived in a house without an indoor loo.
His family would run out of money around thetwentieth of each month.
Another speaks of violence and dowries. Accompanying these early
memories of want are also many happymemories. One man and his friends
used to race on their bikes to ogle girls in the local bazaar. Another
remembers the glory days ofBatman and Amar Chitra Kathas. We’ve got a
skating champ, a horse-riding champ, a cricket champ, and even a carrom
champ in our
midst.
And
over the years, these kids from middle-class homes became the founders
of India’s new economy. These are stories of victory in their own
words.
