Ghosts of Makara: Growing up Down-Under in a lost world of yesteryears, is the moving memoir of a son of an Irish-German immigrant family growing up during the 1920s and the Depression-wracked '30s in a wind-blasted, yet picturesque, Pacific corner of colonial New Zealand. Makara Beach could have been Middle-Earth of the Lord of the Rings, the Academy Award-winning movie which 70 years later used Makara as one of its filming locations. In this sepia-tinted, nostalgic, first-person family album, the author evokes a lost era Down Under, one without television, the Internet, or (early on) even radio, when he and his younger brothers and sisters acted out their own stories and dreamed their own dreams. It was truly a different world, where barefoot Bobbits grew up with a deep love of nature and respect for family--a world we can learn much from today.

Saṅkrānti is one of the most important festivals of the Sanātana Ārya Bhāratiyas. In scriptures it is called by other names such as Saṅkrānti, Makarasaṅkrānti, Makarasaṅkramaṇa, Makarasaṅkramaṇa, and Uttarāyaṇa puṇyakāla also. In Tamil Nadu it is called Pongal. Common people also call this as ‘Ellina Habba’. Though the distribution of sesame is in vougue in the next festival also i.e. ‘rathasaptamī’, it is only Saṅkrānti which is renownedly associated with the significance and fame pertaining to the gifting of sesame, and thus is well known as Eḷḷina habba. The Kannada proveb “Eḷḷu bellava tindu oḷḷeya māthanāḍu’ owes it’s origin to this festival. Our other books here can be searched using #BharathaSamskruthiPrakashana
