Glam, Greed and Grit


Book Description

Somewhere deep inside, my intuition, my sixth sense, which is an exceptional gift from GOD to me, indicated that I already had the answer. I knew the person who may have orchestrated this …? My thoughts were repeatedly drawn to the statement I had heard a few days back; “DSP Saheb, God Almighty has granted a hidden charisma to a beautiful woman, who has the power to change the world and much depends on the women who exercises such influence for better or for worse. Women are the progenitors of entire creation, yet history justifies that its often a woman that has led to the bloodiest of wars. Man is but a conduit for the will of a woman”. I was further stunned to hear his views, when he added: DSP Saheb; “Unbelievably she is an outstandingly beautiful woman, with a regal upbringing; but off-late I realised she is the personification of hate, envy, greed and has the soul of a serpent. She very effectively uses her beauty and sensuality as potent weapons.” I do not have any hesitation in making this statement in confidence; probably till then, I was in her emotional captivity…

Queen of Conspiracies


Book Description

……. three bodies occupied that sprawling …... bungalow in Juhu. While the man’s torso was lying sunken in a comfortable reclining armchair next to a king-size bed, …. his wretchedly stretched motionless head lay partially tilted to the right, clearly exposing his badly bruised neck. His eyes were wide open with deep reddish linings giving a frightening look…. His nightdress’ bottoms were open till the naval and there were multiple round shaped burn marks on his forehead, cheeks and chest, possibly from a cigarette as a few residual cigarette butts were lying around the chair. In addition, one of his ears had partly been chopped-off by a sharp object……… …. In this living room below, a lifeless body in white trousers and shirt was lying flat, facing the floor with his face amid a pool of dried blood; the blood had also spread to the carpet nearby and had almost dried by now………Other than the back of his head – which had a large blood-clotted injury mark, no other part of his face was visible. …. On the kitchen floor, a woman in her late thirties was lying dead on her back with her eyes wide open with a frightened look, while her hands were stretched sideways.




Grit, Not Glamour


Book Description

Grit, Not Glamour celebrates the contributions of our foremothers who devoted their lives to farming and ranching related pursuits. Some embraced their roles; others detested the life; often their contributions were minimized or overlooked. Readers will meet a community of spunky, brazen, plucky, (and in a couple of cases dishonest), hardworking gals who donned trousers, tucked long hair under a straw hat, nurtured plants and baby livestock, studied the markets, fretted over the weather, disseminated vital information, scraped animal dung from their boots, enjoyed a few hours of deep sleep afforded by hours in the fresh country air, only to rise early the next day and start all over again. Anyone who has lived and worked on a family farm or ranch may relate to the experiences of the women who are profiled. Town dwellers and urbanites generations removed from the farm or their rural communities, who grew up hearing grandparents’ and great-grandparents’ stories, will appreciate these women who may or may not resemble in any way their foremothers.
