D. C. Chambial writes Aju Mukhopadhyay is a prominent signature in Indian English literature. He has left an indelible impression in each and every genre of writing. Manoj Kumar Pathak observes, The poet concerned is a patriot who likes the diversity of his country. He appreciates the cultural, linguistic, topographical, and behavioural homogeneity of India. Patricia Price observes, The poems speak of the mystery of things in a profound way. The poet’s eye and ear are intensely tuned, so that image and sound are partners. Forest and garden, water and Tundra, the images are vivid. Dr.Dalip Khetrapal writes, The anthology . . . serves as a sumptuous mental and emotional food for the entire literati all over the world; posterity will also surely remember him as a great poet.Vast Akaash is a collection of poetry written by Aju Mukhopadhyay.Aju Mukhopadhyay’s poetry has been variously compared with the works of English Romantic poets, particularly Wordsworth besides Keats, Shelley and others. Poonam Dwivedi’s article is titled, “Aju’s Poetry on Nature and Environment- A Comparative Study with Wordsworth”.

Why don't we feel the moment when we fall in love but always remember when it ends? Akash is young, single and conservative with a preference for girls with brains than in miniskirts. One day, he runs into free-spirited Aleesha at a local discotheque. A mass-media student, Aleesha is a pampered brat, the only child of her parents who dote on her. This brief meeting leads them to exchange their BlackBerry PINs and they begin chatting regularly. As BlackBerry plays cupid, they fall in love. When they hit a rough patch in their life, Aditya, Akash's close pal, guides them through it. But just when they are about to take their relationship to the next level, a sudden misfortune strikes. Can Aditya bring Akash's derailed life back on track? It Started with a Friend Request is a true story which will make you believe in love like never before.

Akash follows a tip from a source called "Deep Throat" that could expose corruption in the government. The Prime Minister is accused of corruption at the highest level. Akash meets Deep Throat in a secluded corner and obtains concrete evidence against the Prime Minister. He prepares to face the upcoming storm and seeks allies who share his commitment to justice. In another story, Akash discovers information hinting at a darker truth behind the pandemic. He reaches out to his skeptical editor and seeks help from someone skilled in navigating the online world. Lastly, Akash uncovers the collapse of Hindustan Bank due to corruption and embezzlement allegations. Determined to uncover the truth, he contacts sources and sets in motion the biggest story of his career, despite the dangers.

This book offers an introduction to popular Hindi cinema, a genre that has a massive fan base but is often misunderstood by critics, and provides insight on topics of political and social significance. Arguing that Bollywood films are not realist representations of society or expressions of conservative ideology but mediated texts that need to be read for their formulaic and melodramatic qualities and for their pleasurable features like bright costumes, catchy music, and sophisticated choreography, the book interprets Bollywood films as complex considerations on the state of the nation that push the boundaries of normative gender and sexuality. The book provides a careful account of Bollywood’s constitutive components: its moral structure, its different forms of love, its use of song and dance, its visual style, and its embrace of cinephilia. Arguing that these five elements form the core of Bollywood cinema, the book investigates a range of films from 1947 to the present in order to show how films use and innovate formulaic structures to tell a wide range of stories that reflect changing times. The book ends with some considerations on recent changes in Bollywood cinema, suggesting that despite globalization the future of Bollywood remains promising. By presenting Bollywood cinema through an interdisciplinary lens, the book reaches beyond film studies departments and will be useful for those teaching and studying Bollywood in English, sociology, anthropology, Asian studies, and cultural studies classes.

To what extent can you go to save your planet from global warming, save something for generations to come? The planet is burning and an Indian has decided to take actions about it. However, where does he start? He decides to start with the facilitators, who are milking away money by killing our planet. So, the police force are up against a serial killer who is killing all the high-profile entrepreneurs whose industries are polluting India, and on the bigger picture, the world. The police nicknames him as the Green man, based on his love for a greener planet. Parallelly, this story is also about Akash Bose, an I it I an who left his highly paid Office job to pursue his dreams of being a private detective but his portfolio is still limited to nuptial loyalty investigations. He falls for a beautiful married woman, damini, who is actually using Akash to get divorce from her hugely popular media reporter husband. As if love life problems were not enough, Akash accidentally becomes the media face of the serial killer police investigation, which is led by police Inspector, Rajiv Bakshi. Akash gets deeply involved in the cat and mouse game between the serial killer and law. In his first homicide investigation case, he is up against the righteous serial killer who can go to all limits for a greener planet. To give the rookie detective a fair chance and obviously for the fun of it, Green man starts sending him clues about the next murder. If Akash and Rajiv can decode the letters in time, they might be able to save a life but if they are late, the future of the Earth becomes a bit greener. The story maintains its pace through the twisted motivations of every individual involved with the case and holds a handful of nasty surprises.

Do we know a truth – the secret of our lives? It is our mercurial mind that ties us to everything that we do or imagine to do. You try to control the mind and its deputies, the indriyas (sensory organs), and you attain success at any stage in this short life. A success, let us not measure in terms of a materialistic gain only. Bhagavad Gita was originally scripted in Sanskrit – the language you and I may not know – and it is a reservoir of divine truths. Is a language really a barrier for us? No. Let us imagine ourselves to be on the vast shore of an ocean eagerly and hungrily picking up pebbles of knowledge to unravel the mystery of this life – particularly of our life in human form – through this Gita, the song of the unknown Creator of this beautiful world.

Why are abnormal figures at the heart of literary canon and what do they tell us about the society that writes and circulates these stories? This book studies the constitution of disability and discusses concepts of corporeal difference that are socio-historically rooted in the Indian cultural milieu. The volume aims at looking at the central issue of the various aspects of disability representation, the impact of these representations on the materially embodied experience of disablement, the political imperatives shaping the narratives of corporeal difference, and the influences of highly particularised local cultural context on the constitution of epistemic and discursive notions of corporeality. The volume follows three routes of inquiry: How do we find 'disability' in texts or, what are 'disability texts'? How do we read concepts historically using literary and cultural texts and what would a similar study of the Indian context reveal? How do we study culturally distinct ways of narrating bodyminds? These questions will be answered through a discussion of representation histories of the abnormal informed by histories of disease conditions and its representations, with the aim of developing ways of thinking and talking about concepts of corporeal difference that are socio-culturally and socio-historically located away from the western context and to explore the intersections between gender, caste, religion, sexuality, class and disability.
