To Sip Darjeeling at Dawn, by Donna Pucciani, is an intriguing poetic journey through diverse existential moments: returning to the city of one's youth, playing a musical instrument, waiting for lightning, mourning a parent, anticipating one's own death. Her objects of meditation include a vase from Copenhagen, an English summer day, strawberries and frogs, old lovers and new affairs, gardens and cats, gumbo and fugues, a husband who snores. Whether in a Manhattan art gallery or an old amusement park in New Orleans, Pucciani reveals intimate moments of her own life while inviting the reader to share in those moments. Her poetry, which has been published on four continents and translated into Italian and Chinese, invokes universal themes of love and loss, nostalgia and grief, and the joys of the present moment. More importantly, her poems explore the human condition with depth, sensitivity and compassion.

Year 2020: Randhir Mehta was elated with the success of his devious plan hatched long back. The Prime Minister Samir Roy was abducted and kept as a hostage in the sequester research centre of the Mehtas. The guileful Mehtas deluded the Nation with a cloned Prime Minister Prasoon. Getting a breakthrough in the unethical and morally questionable science was indeed arduous for the Mehtas. With their team of handpicked scientists, they delved in the undercover cloning web some three decades back along with their global alliance. The outcome was a scientific breakthrough in human cloning, which the world was never aware of during that era. The purpose was to gain dominance and supremacy of the country. Year 2021: The sagacious mind of the Prime Minister's secretary Sadashiv Unnikrishnan perceived something dubious from his behavioural pattern. If he could trust his hunches based on the fact that the current Prime Minister was a clone, then the Nation was staring at a catastrophe. Soon a closed team of security and medical experts were arrayed to probe deeper. If proven true, the swapping of the real Prime Minister with his clone would be another mystery to unravel. Could Sada's sneaking suspicion look beyond the shadows and sense the invincible ploy? What innovative cutting-edge technology was behind the creation of the clone well before the world knew its first mammalian clone? What technology was used to communicate with and control the actions of the clone? Can Sada and his team hatch a prudent plan to save their real Prime Minister or the Mehtas have innovative ideas to turn to superpowers The story explores these and the lesser-known facts about cloning and whirls into a thriller. A daunting mission to dig out the truth and save the country is on the cards.

The third in the Inspector Gowda series, set in Bangalore, India. Borei Gowda is a splendidly grumpy, hard-drinking, deeply flawed policeman whose chaotic home life includes an absent wife, an estranged son and an enigmatic mistress. When elderly Professor Mudgood is found dead in his Bangalore house one winter morning, it is considered a natural death; after all, he was 82 years old, but Gowda isn’t so sure. All the evidence points to a political murder since the professor was a fervent critic of right-wing forces in India. But the more Gowda delves into the details, the more convinced he becomes that the professor’s killing has been stage-managed. There is something more sinister to it – and Gowda has no other option but to take a calculated risk to infiltrate this sinister world. The fast-paced plot has many surprising twists, but police work is not just about going out and catching crooks. All kinds of office politics, caste politics and other considerations complicate Gowda’s life. Anita Nair lives in Bangalore, and her disclosure of Gowda’s thoughts is telling: “This was a city where dog ate dog, rat devoured rat, and everyone would get ahead if they dismissed their conscience.”
