Chowk Dogs by Paul Anthony (1 Review)    Price verified 3 hours ago

Eleven Indian street dogs stand tall in my memory. The canines in Chowk Dogs are based on real animals. They are probably still wandering the streets even as I write this. Their character versions are fictionalized and exaggerated, but the two dogs described in the first chapter are closest to their real-world counterparts. During a visit to the market, I watched as the smaller canine defied the brute ferocity of a massive beast. Her determination against all odds inspired this story. A monstrous street dog displayed bristling black fur, an upraised tail, stiff legs, and powerful bearing. He scanned the avenue, scrutinizing each occupant. The alpha roamed without fear. He had long ago established dominance in Old Delhi. Chandni Chowk was his territory. The streets, the park beyond, the markets, all of it and every dog within belonged to him and him alone. From litter to grave, street dogs navigate a canine hierarchy immeshed inside a hurry-scurry human world. A pair of lively hounds traipse the narrow lanes, seeking exhilaration and delight. One dog thinks it's a cat, while an ostracized loner discovers serenity. Some animals find only devastation. Will common dogs in Chandni Chowk endure under the watchful eyes of the tyrannical alpha? In the magical streets of Old Delhi, anything can happen. Eleven Indian street dogs stand tall in my memory. This is their story.

Crossing the Mirage - Passing through youth by BS Murthy (Self Imprint) (1 Review)    Price verified 10 hours ago

If passing through youth was like crossing the mirage of life for Chandra and Nithya, it proved to be chasing the mirage of love for Sathya and Prema though for plain Vasavi, Chandra's pitiable sibling, it was the end of the road. As life brings Chandra, who suffers from an inferiority complex for his perceived ugliness, and Nithya, who was bogged down being jilted by Vasu, together, they script their fate of fulfillment. And as poetic justice would have it, Sathya, who caused Prema's heartburn, himself was led down the garden path by Kala, doing a Sathya on Sathya. Just not that, life has in store just deserts for Vasu owing to Nithya's retribution as he tries to stalk her. Besides, after many a fictional twist and turn, the way the story ends, challenges the perception that fact is stranger than fiction. The Beginning Youth is the mirror that tends us to the reality of our looks. The reflections of our visages that insensibly get implanted in our subconscious lend shape to our psyche to define the course of our life. This is the saga of Chandra's chequered life that mirrors this phenomenon in myriad ways. As perceived by the deprived, he had a fortunate birth. Yadagiri, his father, was the prominent pearl merchant in Hyderabad - Deccan, the seat of the Nizam's power in undivided India. The patronage of the royals and the nobles alike, helped add gloss to his pearls making him the nawab of the trade. Besides, Princely Pearls, his outlet near the Charminar, was a draw with the rich, out to humor their wives and adorn the mistresses. When Anasuya, Yadagir's wife, was expecting her second issue, trouble brewed in Telangana, the heart of the Nizam's province. While his subjects' surge to free themselves from his yoke clashed with the Nizam's urge to keep his gaddi, Sardar Patel's plans for a pan India was at odds with his designs to retain the Deccan belt as his princely pelf. 'With a go by to the nobility,' Yadagiri tried to envision his future, 'it could be ...

Miranda is a bright woman with an important government job, a nice home, and a prominent lawyer husband. Her fraternal twin sister, Jessica, is a sportswriter who has spent years sacrificing her social life and conventional career prospects to establish a magazine. However, Miranda envies Jessica's seemingly perfect relationship with her Cuban-born, baseball-playing fiancé, Manny. She can't help comparing their exciting love story to her own deteriorating relationship with her husband, Tommy. When Manny disappears, his ex-wife, Guadalupe, takes responsibility in a televised address from Cuba. But as the weeks pass, Jessica's wide-ranging suspicions include baseball owners Johnson Carter and Javy Castilla, who seemed to have benefited from the crime, and two of Manny's "redneck" teammates, Wilson Boyd and Petie Jansen, who are members of a local militia-style group. Miranda's and Tommy's prior friendship with Boyd and Jansen also raises Jessica's ire. Sensing that everyone involved in investigating the crime, including the local police, the FBI, and even Jessica, is headed down the wrong track, Miranda determines to uncover the truth herself--no matter how risky this proves to be, or who is exposed in the process.
