Original price was: ₹399.00.₹300.00Current price is: ₹300.00.Add to cartIn 65 Ways to Talk and Forget, Raja Chakraborty crafts a luminous and lyrical map of human memory, emotion, and resilience. This poetry collection speaks to the gentle chaos of everyday life—where loss lingers in silence, love arrives like monsoon rain, and hope glimmers even in the darkest corners. With a voice that is intimate yet universal, Chakraborty navigates through nostalgia, relationships, cityscapes, and inner transformations with striking imagery and emotional depth.
From poignant reflections on childhood and parenthood to meditations on modern life, each poem is a doorway into the shared yet deeply personal experiences we often leave unspoken. Whether he’s writing about biriyani as a memory of a father’s love, or the endurance of a city in the rain, Chakraborty transforms the ordinary into the poetic.
This collection isn’t just about remembering—it’s about finding strength in forgetting, about choosing poetry in a world that often forgets to pause.
Perfect for readers of contemporary Indian poetry, 65 Ways to Talk and Forget is both balm and mirror—a book to be returned to, like an old friend.

a fistful of slurs from the occupied farm by Daipayan Nair
Original price was: ₹399.00.₹350.00Current price is: ₹350.00.Add to cartIn a time of deafening silence across the poetry community regarding events in Gaza, the contrast with safer and more comfortable critiques in haikai of conflicts in Ukraine or World War II is stark. Profiteering and wholesale abuse tied to the forever wars in the Middle East continue largely unchallenged. Those with perception and awareness have expressed deep alarm at what feels like a gag order. The quiet has become noticeable, almost complicit, in the face of flagrant injustice, horror, and pillage. Journalists covering the crisis are silenced, doctors providing aid are targeted, and international law as well as basic humanity are disregarded. This silence extends to the condoning, arming, and supporting of the expropriation of Palestine, the genocide or forced expulsion of its largely civilian population, and the theft of homes, land, and property under unprovoked or manufactured justifications. English-language haiku and senryu, and the western literary world more broadly, have long needed a collection from a thoughtful and compelling voice willing to confront these urgent realities. Few forms are better suited than haiku and senryu to convey such truths clearly, coherently, and concisely. Daipayan should not have been required to write with such dire urgency, yet he has risen courageously to this moment. His collection continues the defiant footsteps of the New Rising school of haiku for peace and understanding. It demonstrates the power of a few syllables to illuminate hidden realities, build empathy, promote decency, and inspire action in service of moral integrity. If you read one collection of eastern-influenced poetry this year, this deceptively slim yet deeply moving and educational volume should be the one. As Randa Abdel-Fattah reminds us, “Bad things happen when good people remain silent.” May this work encourage more voices to rise, and in doing so, help prevent and rectify the great wrongs unfolding daily in our time and across our lifetimes.

A Journey Towards Light by Sushmindar Jeet Kaur
Original price was: ₹499.00.₹450.00Current price is: ₹450.00.Add to cartThe voice in this volume of poetry is that of the poet Sushmindar Jeet Kaur as a seeker, constantly in search of light. Each poem, suffused in the humility of a wayfarer, moves bit by bit to get closer to the unknowable. The “unfathomable” gets to be more intriguing and complex as the journey progresses. As one goes along with the movement of the poems, the “silhouettes of meaning” become visible, and each “silence speaks of a deeper calling”; there emerges a note of assurance for the reader who is the co-traveller with the poet. Eventually, as the poet puts it eloquently, the “wayfarer becomes the path”. Mysteries of life begin to surface more and more, and gradually an inward reality begins to surface. The remarkable confession -so to speak- of the poet comes as a gentle shock when she declares that she is not a good woman! In choosing the path of her own journey, she is no longer a conformist. She is, in the eyes of the world, a rebel. The matter-of-fact tone of the declaration is actually the voice of conviction.While reading these poems, the intensely felt reality appears to acquire a surreal aura. Several lines in the poems get charged with an energy that beckons “not an end but a return”. What keeps the attention of the reader engaged in these poems is also the dynamic of Time as a continuum. Added to the experience is the unmissable spiritual dimension of the poems, offering moments of intersection of the past and future. This is when the poet’s poignant reflection that “Forgetting is a betrayal” comes into play. Whether it is the “whispering of the winds” or the “language of the earth”, she is receptive and demonstrates a keen understanding of those voices.Clearly, Sushmindar Jeet Kaur is someone who has chosen the path of meditating through poetry. This is also the path of love that abandons boundaries of all kinds, even those perceived between life and death. It is crucial to note here that this is not poetry of self-indulgence but that of theStrength of hunger-Of craving, of deprivation,of appetite, of famishment-Of nights spent counting starsSince the coins were too few to buy sleep.And the poet recognises how people who are deprived have so much to give:Yet the affection they give with hands that have nothingnothing but the strength to hold on, to endureand to teach the rest of uswhat it means to be alive.For this poet, soulful connections, even though with “the ache of solitude”, can lead one to experience a fulfilling homecoming in the flow of time. The poems call for the awakening of an inner light…Sukrita Paul KumarIndian Poet, Critic & Academic -

As The Anklet Comes Off Her Legs by Kabir Deb
Original price was: ₹499.00.₹450.00Current price is: ₹450.00.Add to cartAs The Anklet Comes Off Her Legs is an audacious, genre-defying poetry collection by Kabir Deb, where erotica meets philosophy, politics, mythology, and the intimate truths of human desire. Written with unflinching honesty and lyrical intensity, these poems travel through the body, the imagination, and the forbidden spaces society refuses to acknowledge.
In this powerful collection, Deb dismantles shame, purity narratives, patriarchy, and every cultural veil that tries to police desire. The poems explore lust as liberation, intimacy as resistance, the body as an archive of memory, and love as a political act. From the whispers of mythology to the grit of modern loneliness, each poem carves out its own raw universe.
The book moves through vivid landscapes—flesh, breath, touch, hunger, protest, ritual, myth—revealing how eros becomes a language, a rebellion, and a testament to being human. Deb’s imagery is sensual, visceral, and unapologetically bold, offering a new vocabulary for the erotic that is both poetic and philosophical.

Bengali Christian (Protestant) Women – A Micro Study by Tumpa Mukherjee
Original price was: ₹699.00.₹600.00Current price is: ₹600.00.Add to cartBengali Christian Women: An Empirical Study by Dr Tumpa Mukherjee is a much-needed sociological examination of the condition of Bengali Christian women in the twentieth century. Specializing in the mores and manners of the women belonging to the Protestant denomination within the larger Christian community, she looks at their location, aspirations, educational qualifications, employment opportunities, marital status, degree of acculturation with the mainstream Hindu Bengali society and their contribution within and beyond the community.
Tracing the evolution of the mentioned demographic category, Dr Mukherjee privileges a particular focus on Women’s Christian College, Kolkata as a pathbreaker in the dissemination of education since 1945, nurturing generations of students towards a better future. She emphasizes the role of successive Principals and teachers of the institution as a microcosmic instance of the larger spread of education in the country, as also the nodal nature of the incubating impetus provided by the college.
Dr Mukherjee breaks new ground with her percipient insights into the circumstances, influences and possibilities of Bengali Christian women as they strive to play a meaningful role in challenging situations. While the size of the sample is small the research methodology followed is rigorous and the overall enquiry meticulous in its attention to detail, balance and objectivity.

Earth Elegies by Ajanta Paul
₹250.00Add to cartAjanta Paul’s Earth Elegies celebrates the mystery and beauty of nature while decrying its despoliation. In their focus on environmental concerns, many poems are ecopoetic through and through. The collection also draws attention to subtle moments of appreciating nature as well as to our emotional responses to places. At the same time, ecological awareness threads through the collection. Such interconnections surface in the redolent line “of sap and sapience” from the poem “A Late Flowering.” Here the poet implies that sap is sapience. Some poems in Earth Elegies address non-human beings as communicative subjects. “Talismanic Tree,” for instance, foregrounds the felt encounters between people and plants. The speaker retreats into the “natural, capacious arms. / Our safe and loving anchorage!” To be certain, there is a lexicon for touch—hard, soft, rough, smooth, slick, tickling—but also the idea of being moved, affected, or impacted positively. As Margaret Atwood writes in no uncertain terms, ‘Touch comes before sight, before speech. It is the first language and the last, and it always tells the truth.” Ajanta Paul’s poetry engages touch in both senses: of skin-to-skin contact with trees but also of the encounters with the arboreal world that transform us profoundly…John Charles Ryan

‘The myth of the weavers’ thumbs may also have grown out of the famous Mahabharata story of Ekalavya, a dark-skinned, low-caste boy whose skill at archery rivalled that of the noble heroes, the Pandavas; to maintain the Pandavas’ supremacy as archers, their teacher demanded that Ekalavya cut off his right thumb.’ ‘An interesting parallel between Ekalavya and Karna, an illegitimate child abandoned by his Kshatriya mother and brought up by a charioteer. Like Ekalavya, Karna finds that his lower caste disqualifies him from an archery contest with Arjuna, again under Drona’s aegis;…’ The poem ‘Ekalavya Speaks’ perhaps defines the purpose, perspectives, resilience and relevance of Ekalavya in our times. Many of the poems in this volume address the deep-rooted prevalence of systemic marginalization of citizens of our country, on the basis of caste, class, gender and religion, among others. Othering is the unifying theme in this volume of 100 poems, though some of the poems do not typically focus on issues of discrimination and ostracism.

Epistle in Sunlight by Runa Srivastava
Original price was: ₹499.00.₹450.00Current price is: ₹450.00.Add to cartIn an age of hurried words and fragmented emotions, Epistle in Sunlight arrives like a soft whisper across a meadow—gentle, luminous, and profoundly introspective. Runa Srivastava’s poetic voice doesn’t merely articulate feelings; it illuminates them, offering verses that act as both letter and mirror—letters written to the world, and mirrors held up to the self. This collection is a deeply moving cartography of consciousness, tracing the arc of a soul that has wandered through love, loss, laughter, and a luminous quietude. It is an invitation to pause amid the rush of life, to listen to one’s own heart, and to rediscover the simplicity that resides within us. Stylistically, the work is marked by a lyrical simplicity that conceals its depth and precision. There is a music in its restraint, and beauty in its minimalism, with each line crafted like a brushstroke on a tranquil canvas. Epistle in Sunlight carries a spiritual undercurrent—not tied to any creed, but deeply human and elemental. It is a powerful testament to the transformative power of language, reaching toward the ineffable realm where poetry becomes prayer.

Eyes of the Wild by Sanjay Hiraskar
Original price was: ₹2,500.00.₹2,250.00Current price is: ₹2,250.00.Add to cartStoic and grounded, Sanjay moves through the wilderness with a mindful presence, fully aware and utterly still, always present in the instant. Focused and patient, he embraces the discipline required of a true wildlife photographer, blending seamlessly into the forest greens so as not to startle the very subjects he seeks to honour through his lens. “The animals understand humans instinctively… I still remember a lion who ambled into a clearing. He looked at me—a few feet away—while I was ready with the camera. I felt those powerful eyes probing me from very close quarters, then he walked away in a leisurely manner, majestic as a sovereign. That casual incident shook me up and changed me forever. The King sensed no hostility in me and did not react aggressively. It seemed he was sending a silent message—and then he disappeared into the bush. That was electrifying! I was transformed by a strange moment scripted by destiny.” Sanjay once told me during a media interview years ago Transformed! That is the key word in such an odyssey. They endure the jungle to photograph it: remaining immobile for hours, unkempt, unwashed, waiting for the right moment, hardly stirring. Sometimes the shot comes quickly; sometimes, for days, they wait—camouflaged—until the reward for their labour arrives. These iconic pictures do the same for you, the invested viewer, who rarely witnesses the realities of this other world beyond the urban jungle. The mission for such photographers is simple: come face-to-face with divine creations and return—after each session—as an altered person, uplifted. “Slow down, savour each minute,” says Sanjay, the Wise. “Nature teaches you what philosophy cannot. Respect other forms of life. Value the earth. Wildlife is full of insights for human beings, provided you are listening to the signals.” This collection is a breathtaking journey into the other side of the divide arbitrarily created by “civilization” and progress. Each frame is rare—born of pure dedication, craft, love, and respect for the hunted and the voiceless.

পরশ ছোঁয়াইলে হয় সোনা…
কিসের পরশ? কৃপার। গুরুকৃপা।
কোথা থেকে আসে? বুঝ মন, যে জান সন্ধান।জগত এক জাদুকরী। আমরা তার লীলাচ্ছলে অংশগ্রহণকারী পুতুলের মতো জীবনভর অলীক সুতোর টানে নেচে যাই। দৈবাৎ ঝাঁকুনি লাগে, সে নাচের ছন্দ পালটে গেলে দেখি, কার এক লীলাকমলসম হাতে সুতো ধরা… সুতো না, তরঙ্গ… যেন আমারই বুকের থেকে সুঘ্রাণলহরী হয়ে সেই সূত্র ওই লীলাকমলটিকে ঘিরে ঘিরে আকুল বেদনায় অসহ পুলকে স্পন্দমান হয়ে বলছে, “তোমায় আমার সমস্ত কান্না দিয়ে ধরেছি, দেখি তুমি কেমন করে আমায় ত্যাগ করো ! ছাড়িব না… ছাড়িব না…ছাড়িব না…”
এই গুপ্ত প্রেমবিদ্যাই গুরু-শিষ্য বন্ধন। তাঁদের জন্মজন্মের লীলাখেলা। এ খেলার ডাক সহসা এলে জাতি কুল মান পলকে ভাসিয়ে চেতনা চৈতন্যের ঘোরে মূর্ছিত হয়।
“দেখিতে যে সুখ ওঠে, কী বলিব তা।
দরশ পরশ লাগি আউলাইছে গা।।”হায় ক্ষুদ্রমতি নরনারী, দেহজ্ঞানরহিত না হয়ে কি প্রণয়বিদ্যা বোঝা সম্ভব হয় ? আজীবন মরুভূমিতে দাঁড়িয়ে মেঘের প্রতীক্ষাকে যারা প্রেম বলে জানে, তারা নদনদীর মোহনাসুখ জানে না, বারিধির অশ্রুপ্লাবিত বক্ষে ঝাঁপিয়ে পড়ে বলার সুখ জানে না – “শুধু তোমারই প্রতীক্ষা দিয়ে আমায় গড়েছিলে, শুধু তোমাকেই খুঁজতে আমি এসেছিলাম, আমার সকল ব্যথার সুরভি তুমি নাও… তোমার চৈতন্যে নাও আমার চেতনাকে…”
শমীক সেন অধ্যাপক। শমীক সেন কবি। এই সমস্ত ক্ষণপরিচয়ের নির্মোক খসিয়ে শমীক সেন যেখানে কৃপাধন্য, প্রেমনীরে কমলকলির আর্তি নিয়ে শ্রীগুরুর চরণপদ্ম চুম্বনে সুরভিত হয়ে উঠতে চেয়েছেন… সেই নিঃস্ব, সুরভিসম্বল তাঁর মনটির প্রতি আমার বিমুগ্ধ শ্রদ্ধা নামিয়ে রাখলাম । তাঁর পরমারাধ্য গুরুদেব শ্রী শ্রী ডঃ বৃন্দাবন বিহারী দাস কাঠিয়াবাবার পবিত্র জন্মতিথিতে তাঁর যুগল পাদপদ্মে আমার আভূমিনত প্রণাম।

বিদ্যানগর উত্তর চব্বিশ পরগনার একটি আধা-শহর। না আছে সেখানে নাগরিক সমৃদ্ধি, না আছে গ্রাম্য লাবণ্য। তবে বহুদিন আগে বিদ্যানগর ছিল একটি সমৃদ্ধ জনপদ। প্রাচীন সমৃদ্ধির চিহ্ন বলতে এখনো সেখানে টিঁকে আছে তর্কালঙ্কার বাড়ি, আর একটি অতি বৃদ্ধ ধ্বংসস্তূপ। লোকে বলে রাজবাড়ি। রাজবাড়ির প্রাচীনতম অংশটি নির্মাণ করেছিলেন হরীশচন্দ্র, তিনি ছিলেন একজন ব্রহ্মক্ষত্রিয়। তর্কালঙ্কার বাড়িতে (লোকমুখে লঙ্কাবাড়ি) এখনো কয়েকটি পরিবার বসবাস করে। তাঁরা মহানৈয়ায়িক জগদীশ তর্কালঙ্কারের বংশধর। রাজবাড়ি আর বসবাসের যোগ্য নেই। সেখানে শেয়াল আর ভামদের রাজত্ব। অবশ্য বিদ্যানগরের প্রবীণরা বলেন সেখানে আরো কেউ একজন থাকে। মাঝে মাঝে তাকে দেখা যায়।
বহুদিন আগে এই অঞ্চলটিকে রক্ষা করত বিদ্যাধরী নদী, অসংখ্য অজ্ঞাতকুলশীল নদী-নালা আর দুটি বিশাল অরণ্য। তখন বিদ্যানগরের রাজা ছিলেন প্রমথেশচন্দ্র। রাজবাড়ির ঠিক পাশে, বিমুক্তেশ্বর মন্দিরে তখন নিত্যপূজা চলত। বিমুক্তেশ্বরের গা ঘেঁষে বয়ে যেত পূর্ণা নদী। এখন অবশ্য তার প্রাচীন নাম হারিয়ে গেছে। তার নাম রাজবাড়ির খাল। সে তার উৎস আর গন্তব্য, দুই হারিয়ে ফেলেছে। সে কালে পূর্ণা ছিল বেগবতী। আজকের মতো তখনো পূর্ণা পার হওয়ার জন্য একটি বাঁশের সাঁকো ছিল বটে। তবে পার হওয়ার সাহস ছিল খুব কম লোকের। ওপারে একটা পায়ে-চলা পথ ছিল। রাধারমণ নামের এক স্থিরযৌবন তমাল গাছ পার হলেই সে প্রায় অদৃশ্য হয়ে পড়ত। কষ্টে-সৃষ্টে আরো কিছুটা এগিয়ে গেলে দেখা দিতেন গোপীবল্লভ। তিনি একটি বৃদ্ধ বটবৃক্ষ। তাঁর অনতিদূরে দুটি শেওড়া গাছের মাঝে হাত তুলে দাঁড়িয়ে থাকত দামোদর নামে একটা পেটমোটা অচিন গাছ। এই পর্যন্তই দুঃসাহসীরা যেতে পারতেন। এর পর পথটি হারিয়ে যেত চুন্নীর জলার গভীরে। সেখানে শুরু হত পোদো, দয়া, আর আলিদের রাজত্ব।
বিদ্যানগরে লঙ্কাবাড়ির চতুষ্পাঠীতে ন্যায়-ব্যাকরণাদি শাস্ত্র পড়াতেন শ্রী রামনারায়ণ তর্কালঙ্কার। আরো একটি পাঠশালা ছিল বটে বিদ্যানগরে, প্যাটসাহেবের পাঠশালা। সেটি চালাতেন জন প্যাটারসন নামে এক ইংরেজ ‘শিক্ষাবিদ্’। অবশ্য সেখানে পোড়ো তেমন ছিল না।
আমাদের গল্পের মূল চরিত্র সেকালের বিদ্যানগরের কিছু অদ্ভুত মানুষ আর প্রাচীন অরণ্য।

The Dandelions Have It by Sohini Sen
Original price was: ₹2,600.00.₹2,340.00Current price is: ₹2,340.00.Add to cartSomewhere in the Himalayas, Quillo, a baby hedgehog, crawls into the most beautiful story: that of his life. He is surrounded and loved by a motley crowd that has Lonī, a vegan wolf, Whoo, an owl who sees best with his eyes closed, Onj, an orange-beaked chough who always has fresh news to share, and Bushkit, a talkative squirrel. Quillo has crucial choices to make—should he grow into a wolf like Lonī? Should he learn to fly? What to have for dinner?
While life in the forest is often raw, messy and imperfect, Quillo’s friends tell him that ‘Mess is a message, too: that this dusk’s rainclouds will cleanse tomorrow’s dawn.’ Little Quillo discovers the joys of connections, learns that the simple act of not holding back creates abundance. That the most precious things in life are often unseen. With some help from a magic pebble, he can even touch his core. A field of dandelions in bloom holds perhaps the toughest lesson of all.
Nothing, just nothing, can prepare Quillo for the life-changing event in the pine groves.
This is a tale for young adults, and adults forever young at heart. Over 40 mixed-media collages add texture—literally, and figuratively—and richness to the story. This is the first time such collages, with definite cross-generational appeal, have been used for literary fiction.
Much of the author’s inspiration comes from her experiences as a travel writer, and her deep connection with nature. The majesty of the rugged Himalayas, and the hardships of travelling among them for decades, have taught her to treat her fellow beings with kindness, and her own self with quite a bit of irreverence. In The Dandelions Have It these influences bring an authentic sense of place, gentle wisdom and humour that will resonate with kindred souls.
Some of Sohini Sen’s books that display her versatility across genre and formats, from visual storytelling to heartfelt narrative, are: Ladakh: A Photo Travelogue (2016), Zanskar to Ziro: No Stilettos in the Himalayas (2017), A Drop of Golden Sun: Re-presenting Tagore’s Gitanjali (2023), and the novella, A Sense of Magnolias (2024).

Time Matters by Debashish Banerji
Original price was: ₹399.00.₹360.00Current price is: ₹360.00.Add to cartTime Matters is a luminous journey through the fluidity of time, memory and existence. With a voice both introspective and expansive, this collection explores the paradoxes of experience – where past, present and future coalesce, interact and separate; where materiality is a speed of perception; and where waking, dream and death are interchangeable mysteries. An exercise in bi-cultural understanding and a meditation on translocality, this book invites readers to step back, enter and experience the magic space of its multidimensional poetic landscapes.

The contemporary landscape of socio-cultural production is characterized by a dynamic tension between the forces of transcendence and transgression that enable us to question the boundaries of knowledge, power, and identity. These ideas have long fascinated scholars across disciplines, serving as pivotal lenses through which one analyzes societal transformation, artistic innovation, and media phenomena. This edited volume emerges from a transdisciplinary seminar that was held on March 27 and 28, 2024 organized by the Department of English, Sister Nivedita University.
