Every night a writer gets a phone call from an unknown woman named Rain. A man in a restaurant wishes the waitress would bring him a fish bowl with a lone goldfish so hed gift it to the woman at the next table. A girl suffering from Electra complex forges a life-long bond of hatred with her mother. Bradley Hudson awaits death, remembering his beloved Munni Begum, but what about the love of Longlatti, who devoutly tends to him in his twilight years? Rafael Tigga converts to Christianity in a bid to escape penury, but he and his tribal kin sign a raw deal, remaining neither Christian nor Hindu in the end. Pratyakshas writing is a statement of non-conformity, and Rainsong an exceptionally brave work. The works in this collection broke fresh ground in Hindi literature. Each one of these powerful, disconcerting short stories and musings is an exploration of the human psyche against the backdrop of modern life - both urban and rural - and sensibilities, with the interiority of the language and narration lending the whole selection an unshakeable intensity.

From heading an ashram at Rajneeshpuram, Oregon, USA, in the 1980s to allegedly spearheading what is known as the largest bioterror attack in American history and spending thirty-nine months in prison, Ma Anand Sheela's life is one that fascinates and intrigues. But who is the woman beyond the persona of the commune leader? What is Sheela like behind the sensational 'tough titties' avatar? Manbeena Sandhu followed the Osho movement for two decades before her journey finally led her to Sheela. Nothing to Lose is a no-holds-barred account of Sheela's life, her intense relationship with Bhagwan, and the riveting story of what actually happened behind the closed doors of the cult's ashram.

Authors featured in this anthology include Agatha Christie, Emily Bronte, Rabindranath Tagore, Emily Dickinson, F. Scott Fitzgerald and Edgar Allan Poe among others.

True in essence to the meaning of 'haiku', or 'pleasure verse', and just like the late-bloomer cherries of Shillong, Late-Blooming Cherries is meant to be savoured as slowly, embracing the beauty of each poetic moment.
