Ek Kahani

‘एक कहानी’ सात सम्मोहक कहानियों का विरल संग्रह है।यहाँ बचपन के अनुभव और स्मृतियाँ कल्पना का मेल पाकर विलक्षण कथा-रूपों में बदल जाती हैं।इन कहानियों  का जादुई और अतीन्द्रिय लोक हमारी कल्पना-शक्ति को उद्दीप्त  करता है और सब कुछ को पुन: नये नये तरीक़े से देखने को बाध्य करता है।भाषा का ऐसा खेल और अप्रत्याशित संयोजन विस्मित करता हुआ हमें वस्तुओं के अंदरूनी जगत में ले जाता है।यहाँ लोक कथाओं- सी सादगी और बनक है और विज्ञान कथाओं का रोमांचक रहस्य-बोध ;लेकिन अपनी दृष्टि और भाषा-व्यवहार में बिल्कुल अनूठा,अप्रमेय।

Gyarah Rupay Ka Fountain Pen

इस किताब की कहानियाँ बेहद नएपन से आम जीवन के सामाजिक, साहित्यिक, सांगीतिक, मानवीय, शैक्षिक और पर्यावरण से जुड़े गहरे सरोकारों को अपने में शामिल करती जाती है। जिनमें बच्चों के स्वभाव और चाहते हैं , उनकी उदासी और दोस्ती है । और भी बहुत कुछ है जो आज के साहित्य में अपेक्षित है । कहानियाँ जितने अनूठे विषयों पर हैं, कही भी उसी अनूठेपन से गई है । बेहद सधी हुई ताज़ातरीन भाषा, विचारों व भावों के अनुरूप हैं । कहानियों को विस्तार और गहराई देने का ज़िम्मा लेते चित्र बेमिसाल हैं।

Queen of Earth

“This is a brilliant historical fiction grounded in thorough research. The narrative is engaging and layered. While the focus remains on a queen ruling at a time when women were not documented in historical records, the story makes room for emotional relationships as well as complex details of lifestyle from that period.”

First Katha book of Haiku, Senryu, Tanka and Haibun

“This is a lovely poetry collection that can introduce young readers to lesser-known poetic forms of Japan. What is special about the book is how the spare quality of these forms is adapted beautifully in the Indian context. The strong imagery of these poems reflects that of the Indian world full of textures. The endnotes provide useful ways of understanding these forms and poems.”
