Hazy Wake Up Call
Have you realized there are at least two sides to every story? Have you turned back into your life, into the shoes of the people who came into your life and seen things through their eyes? If not, this book is for you. This book will take you through the life of Aadhik—an immature and confused guy working as a software engineer. He doesn’t find happiness in his job as he is not recognized. Does he resign his high-paying job just for that? Is he transforming into a narcissist from being immature? Vayga has finished college. She is from a conservative Brahmin family. Just like every young, educated girl, brought up in a strict traditional family, she is now looking for a break from life within the bounds of family rules and a kick start to an independent life doing something she enjoys. Aadhik and Vayga cross their paths in life and are introduced to some new people. What happens after that? Does Aadhik realize his immaturity, or does he succumb to it? Does Vayga find her purpose?

The Dismantling of India
In October 1947, two months after Independence, TJS George arrived in Bombay. He was nineteen years old, with a degree in English Literature. He sent out job applications––to the Air Force and to the city's English-language newspapers. Only one organization cared to reply, The Free Press Journal. The editor was known to hire anyone who asked for a job, but most new hires were sacked in a fortnight. George was put on the news desk as a sub-editor and eventually became an assistant editor. In Patna, as editor of The Searchlight, he was arrested by the chief minister for sedition. He spent three weeks in Hazaribagh Central Jail.

Goh Keng Swee
A crucial founding father of independent Singapore, Dr Goh Keng Swee has his distinguished and unparalleled stint in public service hitherto reduced to dates and designations. The book is the first to collect and present a broad range of historical material commemorating Dr Goh's public career. This book is not a biography of Dr Goh's life. Instead, it commemorates his public career and attempts to portray a more personal and candid perspective of the principal architect of independent Singapore. This is done by pulling together a variety of historical sources, ranging from Dr Goh's public statements and speeches, and existing and fresh oral interviews with his former colleagues to archival documents and imagery. This book is an important contribution not only to Singapore's history in general, providing valuable historical context to the challenges of ensuring the sustainability and survival of a young nation at the highest levels of policy-making, but also a tribute to Dr Goh — how he is remembered, respected and revered by some of his closest peers and colleagues.
