The White Tiger
Meet Balram Halwai, the 'White Tiger': servant, philosopher, entrepreneur and murderer. Balram, the White Tiger, was born in a backwater village on the River Ganges, the son of a rickshaw-puller. He works in a teashop, crushing coal and wiping tables, but nurses a dream of escape. When he learns that a rich village landlord needs a chauffeur, he takes his opportunity, and is soon on his way to Delhi behind the wheel of a Honda. Amid the cockroaches and call-centres, the 36,000,004 gods, the slums, the shopping malls, and the crippling traffic jams, Balram learns of a new morality at the heart of a new India. Driven by desire to better himself, he comes to see how the Tiger might escape his cage. For surely any successful man must spill a little blood on his way to the top? The White Tiger is a tale of two Indias. Balram's journey from the darkness of village life to the light of entrepreneurial success is utterly amoral, brilliantly irreverent, deeply endearing and altogether unforgettable.

Sita By Amish Tripathi ( Part 2)
ભારતના સૌથી લોકપ્રિય યુવા લેખક અમીશ ત્રિપાઠીની ‘રામચંદ્ર’ સીરીઝનું બીજું પુસ્તક એટલે "સીતા" હવે ઉપલબ્ધ છે... આ પુસ્તકમાં ઈ.સ. પૂર્વે ૩૪૦૦નાં ભારતની કાલ્પનિક કથા. આ સમયે ગરીબી અને શોષણથી ખદબદી રહેલાં ભારતની પ્રજા પોતાના શાસકોને ધિક્કારે છે. સમગ્ર સમાજ અરાજકતાને આરે ઉભો છે. લંકાનો રાજા રાવણ વધુ ને વધુ તાકાતવાન બનતો જાય છે અને દુર્દેવી સપ્ત સિંધુ ફરતે તેની ભીંસ વધતી જાય છે. ભારતના તે સમયના બે શક્તિશાળી કબીલાઓ આ પરિસ્થિતિમાંથી પ્રજાને ઉગારી શકે એવા તારણહારની શોધ આદરે છે. છેવટે ખેતરમાં ત્યજાયેલી એક બાળકી મળી આવે છે. લોહીતરસ્યા વરુઓના ટોળાથી એક ગીધ તેનું રક્ષણ કરી રહ્યું હતું. કારણ કે એ કોઈ સામાન્ય બાળકી નથી. એ છે સીતા.
Raam by Amish Tripathi (Part 1)
અયોધ્યા વિભાજનોથી નબળું પડી ગયું છે. એક ભયંકર યુદ્ધની કિંમત તે ચૂકવી રહ્યું છે. નુકસાન બહુ મોટું થયું છે. લંકાના રાક્ષસ રાજા પરાજિતો પર પોતાનું સામ્રાજ્ય નથી સ્થાપતા. તેના બદલે તે ત્યાં પોતાનો વેપાર સ્થાપી દે છે. આખા સામ્રાજ્યમાંથી ધન ચૂસી લેવામાં આવે છે. સપ્તાસીન્ધુની પ્રજા ગરીબી, હતાશા ને દુરાચારણમાં ગરકાવ થઇ ગઈ છે. તે પ્રજા એક એવા નાયક માટે વલખે છે કે જે તેમને આ કળણમાંથી બહાર ખેંચી કાઢે. તેમને ક્યાં જાણ છે કે એવો એક નાયક તેમની વચ્ચે જ રહેલો છે જેને તે બધા લોકો જાણે છે. એક સંતપ્ત અને દેશનિકાલ પામેલો રાજકુમાર. એવો રાજકુમાર જેનો તેમણે વિરોધ કર્યો હતો. એ રાજકુમાર કે જેનું નામ હતું રામ. શું લોકોએ તેમના પર લગાવેલા લાંચનને રામ દૂર કરી શકશે? શું સીતા માટેના તેમના પ્રેમને કારણે તે આ સંઘર્ષમાંથી પાર ઉતરશે?
Midnights Children
Saleem Sinai is born at the stroke of midnight on August 15, 1947, the very moment of India’s independence. Greeted by fireworks displays, cheering crowds, and Prime Minister Nehru himself, Saleem grows up to learn the ominous consequences of this coincidence. His every act is mirrored and magnified in events that sway the course of national affairs; his health and well-being are inextricably bound to those of his nation; his life is inseparable, at times indistinguishable, from the history of his country. Perhaps most remarkable are the telepathic powers linking him with India’s 1,000 other “midnight’s children,” all born in that initial hour and endowed with magical gifts. This novel is at once a fascinating family saga and an astonishing evocation of a vast land and its people–a brilliant incarnation of the universal human comedy. Twenty-five years after its publication, Midnight’ s Children stands apart as both an epochal work of fiction and a brilliant performance by one of the great literary voices of our time.

Om's revelations of his incredible past that defied the nature of mortality left everyone baffled. The team also discovers that Om had been in search of the other immortals from every yuga. These bizarre secrets could shake up the ancient beliefs of the present and alter the course of the future. So who is Om Shastri? Why was he captured?

The immortals of Meluha
Called “archetypal and stirring” by Deepak Chopra, The Immortals of Meluha heralds an exciting new wave of fantasy writing inspired by the ancient civilizations of the East. Tripathi devoted years to the research of Hindu mythological stories and history, and discussions with his family about the destiny of the human body, mind and soul to create this sweeping and fascinating adaptation of ancient Hindu mythology for modern fantasy readers. 1900 BC in what modern Indians call the Indus Valley Civilization and the inhabitants called the land of Meluha: a near-perfect empire created many centuries earlier by Lord Ram—one of the greatest monarchs that ever lived—faces peril as its primary river, the Saraswati, is slowly drying to exctinction. The Suryavanshi rulers are challenged with devastating terrorist attacks from the east, the land of the Chandravanshis. To make matters worse, the Chandravanshis appear to have allied with the Nagas, an ostracized and sinister race of deformed humans with astonishing martial skills. The only hope for the Suryavanshis is an ancient legend: When evil reaches epic proportions, when all seems lost, a hero will emerge. Is the unexpected, rough-hewn Tibetan immigrant Shiva that hero? Drawn suddenly to his destiny, duty, and by love, Shiva will attempt to move mountains and lead the Suryavanshi to destroy evil.
