THE LAND OF FLYING LAMAS

GAURAV PUNJ
TRANQUEBAR PRESS (WESTLAND LTD)

The Himalayas are a traveller’s dream. Gaurav Punj describes the region beyond the hill stations and commercial points. A place which is actually all that poets describe and more – where flowers bloom in the green rolling meadows, where there are pristine lakes and glaciers, and passes that hold the promise of exciting lands. What’s interesting is that it’s comprised of real tales.

 

 

 

 

books04VERVE PICK OF THE MONTH

IDRIS – KEEPER OF THE LIGHT
ANITA NAIR
FOURTH ESTATE (HARPERCOLLINS INDIA)

Meticulously researched and quite, quite unforgettable – Anita Nair brings alive the 17th century. It’s not just about the language and the story, but also as much about the landscape which she describes to the fullest which add an element of mystery. Idris is a Somali trader, who meets his son in a foreign land. He embarks upon a voyage with him which takes them from Malabar to Ceylon to the diamond mines of Golkonda… where love awaits in the form of queenly Thilothamma. Fascinatingly imagined, this is a riveting tale which celebrates details.
