He has a shoddy love life, is heart broken and feels that he is the loneliest person on the face of this earth. It s a story connecting all those small little incidents in one s life that one never forgets.

It s a journey through growing up. A journey from love, to out of it.

Through joy, sadness and anger. About childhood friendship blooming into love.

About the one you love not loving you back. About friends making each other happy, and about friends making each other sad about friends fighting.

It s about being completely sure about things, and at the same time, being utterly unsure about them. It s about school, college and professional life.

It s a lot about the heart, and its desires. It s a story about finding it tough to adjust at times, and then missing it later (less)

Epilogue. "Nagaland -- the most vibrant of eight Northeast Indian states, is home to 16 hospitable tribes and other sub-tribes, each distinctively different from the other in terms of tradition, customary practices, language and attire.

But all bound by a unique identity -- Naga. Although Christianity is the predominant religion here, yet each tribe of Nagaland annually celebrates its respective traditional festival connected one way or the other with sowing, post-sowing or harvesting.

The roots of these festivals go back to the ancient times when isolated villages on unforgiving hill-tops existed as independent city-states and head-hunting others from hostile villages around was order (less)

This book celebrates India’s spectacular textile art. It takes the reader on a visual odyssey spanning 500 years, tracing the images created on cloth for India’s magnificent courts and temples, as well as for more distant but not less discerning patrons in Europe and Asia.

It showcases the motifs and colours of some of the most remarkable Indian textiles to have survived from the past. Several of these have never been published before, and some appeared in textile books and journals so many decades ago that they are now nearly unknown.

At a time when specialist studies have confined the appreciation and study of India’s historical textiles to academic circles and connoisseurs, this book offers a unique survey of the subject to a new generation of textile enthusiasts, practitioners, and researchers.

This book is a personal account of adventures experienced by Dr. Rahul Shukla, scion of a feudal family, where tiger hunting has been handed down from generation to generation.

This tradition of big game hunting provided the author with an opportunity to witness at first hand the magnificence of Indian wild life as also the terrible loss it suffered at the hands of hunters and poachers. This era of ravaging the wild started in the middle of the 19th century upto 1972, when it finally concluded with the blanket ban on shooting (less)

The Modern Architecture of New Delhi, lists the most important buildings in the city which every Delhiite needs to know about. The first handbook of Delhi's modern architecture, it includes a description of each building, and of the architect and his vision for the work; key features to look out for and a glossary to explain all architectural terms.
