» Kathmandu Days - Chandra K. Bhatt

Kathmandu Days

For years, Nepal was ravaged by a civil war. On one side was the king and an elected government, on the other side were Maoist revolutionaries who terrorised the countryside. One night after years of war ended, most members of the Nepalese royal family were assassinated.

In reality, the Crown Prince shot all of them and then himself because he could not marry the woman he loved. The story that most Nepalese believe is that the King was assassinated because he was secretly working with the Maoists to destroy the government.

"Kathmandu Days" is a great novel for anyone interested in reading about political conspiracies.

» Harp - Nidhi Dalmia

Harp

Set in the context of the zeitgeist and idealism of the late 1960s, "Harp" is about love, longing and coming of age. The three main protagonists -- a young man traveling in a Europe-less-traveled including the Iron Curtain, a young woman who has a calling to music, and another young woman who has loved and lost once -- provide the frame of this narrative.

The book deals with journeys we make across countries, even as we embark on a private quest within to know ourselves better, and to seek what it is we really want from life.

Moving through India, Europe and the US, "Harp" follows the lives of these three young people as they engage with the cultural, sexual and student revolutions-and the music of the 1960s.
