In the Pink of Wealth

A medical thriller set in the murky world of money-minded Mumbai hospitals

Sumit Ghoshal

Rs 180; ISBN: 8188811173 

Critical praise:

Cleverly using the mode of fiction, Ghoshal virtually runs a scalpel across the medical fraternity, hospital managements and redtape-riddled health centres… The narrative is easy; the style lucid.

— The Indian Express

The book is an insider’s view of the medical profession. It lucidly captures the murk that lies behind the walls of the hospitals.

— The Asian Age

The book speaks about the conflict between he doctors and hospital management and highlights how little say doctors have in the treatment of a patient.

— The Free Press Journal

The author uses fiction to discuss malpractices in hospitals

— Mumbai Newsline 
 

Where Doves Fly

A children’s book for adults, with an anti-war perspective

Kamlesh Rajesham

Rs 60; ISBN: 8188811181 

Critical praise:

The basic ideas of war and understanding hostilities are quite good.

— Paromita Pain, The Hindu

The story lends an insight into apprehensions experienced by shielded-from-adults-affairs children when they discover the dreaded word war.

— Gitanjali Sharma, The Tribune

A New Friend 

A Spanish novella

Nacho Blanco

Rs 30; ISBN: 8188811033 

Critical praise:

Half an hour is all that it takes to read the novella A New Friend. But, by the time you reach the last page, a part of you yearns for more, and before you realise it, you are back to page one and reading the short story again — pausing and pondering over the feel-great phrases and the reach-out-for-the-sky parts.

— Gitanjali Sharma, The Tribune 

The gleam of Blanco’s message in this novella will unerringly catch the eye.

— Aparna Jacob, Views Unplugged 

Under a Quicksilver Moon 

A collection of poetry

Abhilash Warrier

Rs 100; ISBN: 8188811041 

This small collection of poems remains thematically confined to the poet’s personal reflections. However, delicate constructions, finely-tuned lines and the aura of freshness in the author’s approach to day-to-day issues make the poems quite readable.

— Anoop Verma, Sahara Time 

 

The Rape of News

A collection of comments by well-known editors, writers and PR personnel

Editor: Sunil K Poolani

Rs 30; ISBN: 8188811017 

Critical praise:

The title of this booklet says it all.

— Johnson Thomas, Business India

Questions the ethics of the media when every newspaper follows its own set of rules rather than universally recognised standards.

— Manas Shrivastava, One India One People

Strongly criticises the trend of selling editorial space.

— Frederick Noronha, The Hoot

A booklet that is getting pretty food response.

— Blogspot

An outcome of The Times of India’s announcement that it is marketing its editorial space in that paper and other publications the group publishes.

— Mid-Day 

CrossRoad 

A novel by a debutante youth

Jasmeet Chhabra

Rs 150; ISBN: 8188811009 

Critical praise:

An outcome of resolute questioning.

— Blogspot

A fine example of commitment, efficiency and quality.

— P K Ravindranath, The Asian Age

Loosely knits characters who are essentially each one of us.

— The New Indian Express

New endeavours like this will hit the nail in the head of established writers like Arundhati Roy and Salman Rushdie.

— One India One People

An impressive debut.

— Mid-Day
