The year 2007 was an important milestone for the IT sector in India: A one of its kind supercomputer, EKA, was released that year and it was ranked the fourth fastest supercomputer in the world. EKA helped India make a mark globally, joining the leagues of countries like USA, who had dominated this sector until then. Additionally, EKA also played a major role in the Chandrayaan project, which was another leap ahead for India technologically. In EKA: Birth of an Indian Supercomputer, Harish Bhat narrates the story of how it came to be a crowning IT achievement of the country and details the journey of two Indian scientists, Dr Sunil Sherlekar and Dr Narendra Karmarkar, in creating one of the fastest supercomputers with the support of one of the most powerful companies of India, the Tatas.

Now that Eka and Christelle have survived the rediscovery of the magical world erased from their memories as children, the family betrayal that led to their lost childhoods, and attacks by a celestial being from another universe along with his minions, you’d think they deserved a really long vacation. Nope. Now, as they settle into their new found magical abilities and world, they must confront new challenges and dangers as they return to Eka’s paternal home, Hawaii. Eka is no longer running from the most devastating moment in her life, the night her parents and brother died. But now, as she’s forced to deal with her father’s Waker family, her hybrid magic still refuses to fit into the Waker mold, leaving her an outsider again, while yet another Waker community reminds her how much she isn’t like them. Especially her grandmother, Haipo. And how can Eka help Christelle in the fight against Lintu if no one is able, or willing, to help her understand her magical abilities? Even if she could use her magic, with Lintu interested in her abilities, maybe she’s better off moving under his rader. Unfortunately, Christelle charges headfirst into any conflict with him and Eka can’t just let her best friend go it alone. On top of that, Eka begins to wonder if her brother might have survived, instead of dying with her parents. Can she believe the grandmother that wanted her destroyed? Christelle is determined to stop Lintu from hurting another living being. With her gifts now at a celestial level, she believes she has the power to stop him. Unfortunately, as strong as they are, these new abilities are not quite working for her. She needs Gaia to help her get them under control, but the only way to reach her seems to be a scavenger hunt/rally where the prize comes from Gaia herself. But to compete she has to do the one thing she thought she’d never do since learning that her Waker family had betrayed her. Work with Wakers. This might just be one of the hardest thing she’s ever done without loosing her mind. If you enjoy light-hearted fantasy adventures with plenty of action and strong friendships, you'll love the Adventures of Eka and Christelle.

Two women discover friendship, adventure, and danger in a hidden world full of lost memories and magic. Eka stays in motion since losing her family, running from one adrenaline rush to the next and away from any connection. Christelle loves her close-knit family, but longs to spread her wings and explore the world away from their protectiveness. When an accident leaves Eka at Christelle’s doorstep, memories of magic, hidden within our everyday world, come flooding back to both of them. As they find themselves awakened to this new world, they also find that no one around them is aware of anything unusual, leaving them to navigate this reality together. At first, they seem unable to work with each other. Christelle is skeptical and cautious while Eka is ready to dive in blind-folded. But somehow, as they stumble through each new aspect of the magic, Eka finds herself trusting someone for the first time, while Christelle begins to find a strength outside her family. And, as their friendship grows, unique magical abilities grow within them. But soon a dangerous and destructive force, connected to their lost past, returns, destroying people around them and dredging up the darkest moments of their lives. When this force takes a personal interest in the two, both women will need to draw on their wits and fledgling magic if they have any chance of stopping it. But will their new abilities be strong enough when that moment arrives? Or will their newly discovered fears from the past cause them to fall back on old ways and destroy the friendship they’ll need to save themselves and everyone they love. If you enjoy light-hearted fantasy adventures with plenty of action and strong friendships, you'll love the Adventures of Eka and Christelle.

Nominated for the Man Booker International, Eka Kurniawan brings his short stories into English for the first time Eka Kurniawan’s freewheeling imagination explores the turbulent dreams of an ex-prostitute, the hapless life of a perpetual student, victims of an anticommunist genocide, the travails of an elephant, even the vengeful fantasies of a stone. Dark, sexual, scatological, violent, and mordantly funny, these fractured fables span city and country, animal and human, myth and politics. Like nothing else, Kurniawan’s stories bury themselves in the mind. His characters and insights are at once hauntingly familiar, peculiar, and twisted.
