| Abstract: Beautiful People is a fast moving story that carries us across continents. It is a story of two families totally unknown to each other and coming from separate cultures. It is the tale of how their fortunes came to cross paths in the High Himalayan and the dusty plains of North India. The story carries us over a period of almost two decades and tells us to the varying fortunes of our two families whose second generation comes together as students in the Eastern Hill station of Darjeeling, the famed tea producing centre. The underlying current of terrorism and the activities of the crime nexus bring us back to the stark realities of the present day world where none are truly secure and can never know when violence may strike. |

| Title: Introducing Kafka |
| Author: David Zane Mairowitz and Robert Crumb |
| Edition Year: 2000 |

| Language: English |
| Abstract: Kafka wrote in the tradition of the great Yiddish storytellers, whose stock-in-trade was bizarre fantasy, tainted with hilarity and self-abasement. What he brought to this tradition was an almost unbearably expanded consciousness. Alienated from his roots, his family, his surroundings, and primarily from his own body, Kafka created a unique literary language in which to hide away, transforming himself into a cockroach, an ape, a dog, a mole or a circus artiste who starves himself to death. |

| Title: Maya-A Novel |
| Author: Dr. Ruby Gupta |
| Edition Year: 2009 |
| Cover: Paperback |
| Subject: Fiction |
| Language: English |
| Abstract: Maya alludes to one of the basic themes of Hindu philosophy that this world is nothing but an illusion. The protagonist Viren, travels from India to the US and back to the newly formed State of Chhattisgarh (in India). His journey becomes an unconscious journey into the self-a quest to understand the existential angst. This is the larger connotation of the title. Maya is also the name of one of the central characters. Viren arrives at Raipur, the capital of Chattisgarh after receiving news of his uncle’s death. This forced sabbatical from his high-pressure job as a software developer in Sunnyvale California propels him on a journey where he confronts his painful past. His mother had committed suicide and he is estranged from his father. Here, in the backwaters of India, he finds himself juxtaposed between two different worlds and two different eras. In the midst of this, Viren meets a beautiful mysterious woman, Maya, who stays alone in a dilapidated fort in the middle of nowhere… |

| Title: Paths Less Traveled |
| Author: Matthew S. Friedman |
| Edition Year: 2009 |
| Cover: Paperback |
| Subject: Fiction |
| Language: English |
| Abstract: This book represents a very simple, gentle love story between two young people. What makes it different from most other books is that it looks at the emotions associated with a love situation, more from the boys perspective than the girls - something that is less often the focus of other stories. The love that is explored is raw, unrefined, masculine and spiritual. |
