The author had decided to write just one letter to her daughter who had gone abroad but ended up writing many. These letters, originally in Hindi, were published in the Air India’s magazine ‘Swagat’. Numerous travellers on Air India flights read these letters and enjoyed them. They would take the magazines with them to share with their daughters because they felt the letters were priceless and needed to be shared with every parent and daughter for a close read. Publishing these letters in a book was a major social event because the emotions present in this are not limited to just one generation. Our (Indian) customs, rituals, traditions, art of living, and classical teachings are embedded in these letters. New generations can also learn, know, and accept them. With these intentions, this book is a unique communal treasure. While reading these you will certainly experience humanity, love, and feel a connection, but you will also learn how to cultivate a new generation. After the author’s sudden demise in November 2020, her daughter decided to translate the letters into English to fulfill her mother’s wish—that the wisdom and advice contained in the letters reach a wider audience.

Chanakya Neeti
- Author Name:
R.P. Jain
- Book Type:

- Description: Chanakya was an Indian teacher, philosopher and royal advisor. He managed the first Maurya emperor Chandragupta's rise to power at a young age. He is widely credited for having played an important role in the establishment of the Maurya Empire, which was the first empire in archaeologically recorded history to rule most of the Indian subcontinent.Chanakya is traditionally identified as Kautilya or Vishnu Gupta, who authored the ancient Indian poltical treatise called Arthasastra. As such, he is considered as the pioneer of the field of economics and political science in India, and his work is thought of as an important precursor to Classical Economics.Chanakya Neeti is a treatise on the ideal way of life, and shows Chanakya�s deep study of the Indian way of life. Chanakya also developed Neeti-Sutras (aphorisms�pithy sentences) that tell people how they should behave. Of these well-known 455 sutras, about 216 refer to rajaneeti (the do,s and don�ts of running a kingdom). Apparently, Chanakya used these sutras to groom Chandragupta and other selected disciples in the art of ruling a kingdom.

Ye To Hona Hi Tha
- Author Name:
Malti Joshi
- Book Type:

- Description: मैंने बहुत पहले अपनी एक कहानी में लिखा था कि बड़े आदमियों की बेटियाँ देखकर नहीं, तौलकर ब्याही जाती हैं। यह सच है। क्योंकि कई लोग रुपयों की चकाचौंध में अपनी विचारधारा खो बैठते हैं । पर कई बार ऐसा जान-बूझकर किया जाता है और कह दिया जाता है कि हमें चाय में कुछ पिला दिया था, जिससे हमारी मति भ्रष्ट हो गई थी। खासकर महिलाएँ इस विषय में बड़ी निपुण होती हैं । वे जान-बूझकर साधारण रूप- रंग वाली कन्या ब्याह कर ले जाते हैं। उन्हें डर होता है कि वह अगर रूपवती हुई तो बेटा उसके रूपजाल में उलझकर परिवार की अनदेखी कर देगा। फिर वे बहू के दहेज पर कुंडली मारकर बैठ जाते हैं, ताकि उसे अपनी बेटियों के काम में ले सकें। फिर बहू के रूप-रंग की आलोचना करती रहती हैं। उसे नाना विशेषणों से नवाजा जाता है, ताकि उसका मनोबल टूट जाए। वह टी.बी. से ग्रस्त हो जाए और खास बात यह कि वह बेटे के मन से उतर जाए। पर विवेकशील पुरुष पत्नी के सम्मान के लिए अपनों से भिड़ जाता है। उसका स्नेह और संबल पत्नी को टूटने नहीं देता, हारने नहीं देता। क्योंकि पति का हाथ अगर पीठ पर हो तो वह बड़े-से-बड़ा दुःख आसानी से झेल जाती है। हिंदी के सुप्रसिद्ध एवं प्रतिष्ठित लेखिका मालती जोशी की नवीन कहानियों का अद्भुत संकलन। ये कहानियाँ आपके मर्म और अंतर्मन को छू जाएँगी और आपकी संवेदना को झंकृत कर देंगी।
