Keep Off The Grass
By :Karan Bajaj
Publisher :Harper Collins India
Price :195.00

You work hard and become a millionaire by thirty, of course! But not if you are Samrat Ratan, born in the USA to immigrant Indian parents; you quit and enroll in business school in India instead. Samrat's rollercoaster journey begins at the IIM-Bangalore, where he spends his time getting high on marijuana while his grades and self-confidence plummet. Soon, Samrat's quest for identity turns increasingly bizarre as it takes him places he had not planned on visiting-prison, for example - and makes him do things he hadn't banked on doing: 'meditating' stoned with a sexy Danish hippie in the Himalayas, hanging out with a cannibal on the banks of the Ganga, and peddling soap to the formidable Raja Bhaiya in Benares.

Sea of Poppies
By : Amitav Ghosh
Publisher :Viking
Price :Rs. 599.00

Sea of Poppies is a vibrant work that confirms Amitav’s reputation as a master storyteller. At the heart of this epic saga is a vast ship, the Ibis which is on a tumultuous voyage across the Indian Ocean to the Mauritius Islands. The people on board are a motley array of sailors and stowaways, coolies and convicts. During the colonial upheaval in the mid nineteenth century, fate has thrown together a truly diverse cast of Indians and Westerners, from a bankrupt Raja to a widowed village-woman, from a mulatto American freedman to a free-spirited European orphan. As they sail down the Hooghly and into the sea, the old family ties are washed away, and they view themselves as jahaj-bhais, or ship-brothers, who will now build new lives for themselves in the remote islands where they are being taken to begin an unlikely dynasty.
