Soft cover. Zustand: New. Have you ever looked at an ordinary person on the street and wondered what their struggles are, what their stories might be? Two young lives, one selling lottery tickets and another selling garments, struggle to fulfill their dreams. In their daily toil, they live with the hope of a brighter day yet try to find meaning in the darkness. Redundant will compel you to listen to their heart-breaking stories, marvel at their brave treading of paths we would hesitate to walk on and force you to become part of the struggling pedestrian's reality. There is no letting up no happy endings, just life in all its authenticity. 'Bitan Chakraborty's short novel in Bengali, Haat Kata, comes to us in a fine translation by Malati Mukherjee. Redundant is about two characters we may pass by in a city without a second glance; they would do the same. These characters are motivated by the same desires that motivate the rest of us to make it, try our best not to end up as losers, at least not in our own eyes.

Which of these did Swamiji enjoy the most: his mother s chorchori (a mixed vegetable delicacy), his father s pulao or his own khichuri? Was he fond of spicy food, sweets, or ice cream? During his days of hunger and want, for how many days at a stretch did Swamiji have to go without food? Over the last 150 years, writings on Swami Vivekananda s culinary interests have intrigued a wide spectrum of people across the world. This includes hitherto unknown stories of his spreading the art of making pulao and khichuri along with his propagation of the Vedas, in the United States of America. While many thinkers wonder at Swamiji s immense enthusiasm for teaching Indian cooking, yet it is not quite clear why no complete book about our culinary-enthusiast monk Vivekananda has ever been published in any language. Swami Vivekananda: The Feasting, Fasting Monk is the humble, illumination of a thousand faceted diamond by Sankar.
