On Amazon and Flipkart from today: My set of 4 Books – ‘Across Borders’ & ‘Entwined Lives’ (Novels); ‘Existences’(26 short-stories); ‘Fragments’ (poetry – 90 poems). For more on the views that went into the books, and further updates, please click and visit/follow the page Across Borders.
I’m so pleased to be able to bring to you, on a special day today – the birthday of the great leader – Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose, the amazon.in and flipkart.com web links for sale of my books, as below. You can buy the 4 books as a set as they are all inter related, and therefore released together, or any or more you like.
A list of the varied international distribution platforms and e-books will all go live in a few days…I’ll share the links here. The books will be in stores only around March…

I’ve already shared with you, the thoughts behind my new novel Entwined Lives, in the previous post, now here’s a little on the making of the collection of short stories, Existences:
‘Kindness is not an act. It is a Lifestyle’: “You give but little when you give of your possessions. It is when you give of yourself that you truly give.” -Kahlil Gibran.
These thoughts here, sum up my new collection of 26 stories titled ‘Existences’ – each of which has been thought out and vividly depicted — from my varied socially relevant, corporate experiences of two decades, however casual and easy they might read.
“People are unreasonable, illogical and self-centered.
Love them anyway.
If you do good, people will accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives. Do good anyway.
If you are successful, you will win false friends and true enemies. Succeed anyway.
The good you do today will be forgotten tomorrow.
Do good anyway.
Honesty and frankness make you vulnerable.
Be honest and frank anyway.
The biggest person with the biggest ideas can be shot down by the smallest person with the smallest mind.
Think big anyway.
What you spend years building may be destroyed overnight. Build anyway.
People really need help but may attack if you help them.
Help people anyway.
Give the world the best you have and you might get kicked in the teeth.
Give the world the best you’ve got anyway.” – Dr. Kent M. Keith.
“The Wise Woman’s Stone” : A wise woman who was traveling in the mountains found a precious stone in a stream. The next day she met another traveler who was hungry, and the wise woman opened her bag to share her food. The hungry traveler saw the precious stone and asked the woman to give it to him. She did so without hesitation. The traveler left, rejoicing in his good fortune. He knew the stone was worth enough to give him security for a lifetime. But a few days later he came back to return the stone to the wise woman.
“I’ve been thinking,” he said, “I know how valuable the stone is, but I give it back in the hope that you can give me something even more precious. Give me what you have within you that enabled you to give me the stone.” — Anonymous.

An adaptation of my now republished novel Across Borders, is to be made into a Bangla film titled ‘Abhigaman’. The announcement of this and the promo was released to the media on 15th January over the music and trailer release of the Raima Sen and Nasser film Sitara, also directed by the same director Ashis Roy and produced by Shivo Prosad Pradhan who are also simultaneously making a film ‘Ful Bou’ starring reputed Malayalam actor Mohanlal and Radhika Apte.
I feel so humbled and grateful to be a part of the new project by these celebrated film makers. I look forward to learning as much as I can from them. Thank you so much for this opportunity!
