The Gopi Diaries: Coming Home
Sudha Murty (illustrations by Sandhya Prabhat)

The Gopi Diaries is a series of three books for children about a dog called Gopi. Told in Gopi’s voice, the first book, Coming Home, begins with Gopi going to his new home, and tells the story of how he settles down with his loving, human family. How Gopi sees the world around him and what he thinks of the people in his life give the story a truly unique flavour. Written in Sudha Murty’s inimitable style, these are books children and adults will treasure as the simple stories talk of basic values even when told from a dog’s perspective.

Mastering Megatrends: Understanding and Leveraging the Evolving New World
John Naisbitt & Doris Naisbitt

Ever since Megatrends was published in 1982, the question that often crops up is ‘What’s the next megatrend?’ But megatrends do not come every second year. All you can do is keep your eyes open, and that’s what Doris and John Naisbitt did. The results of their research are mind boggling. What we are witnessing is the path to a complete change of the global game. Not as the transformation described in Megatrends in 1982, finding its way from the US to the world, but parallel shifts involving countries on almost every continent and taking place in various fields and directions, feeding into each other, connected politically, economically, and technologically. Mastering Megatrends describes the background and the prospects of the new world, helps to understand the mindset of the key and the emerging players, and guides us through the challenges of a new working world.

Missing in Action: The Prisoners Who Never Came Back
Chander Suta Dogra

The story of India’s soldiers missing in action is one that remains unfinished, a spillover of the wars with Pakistan. These are men who went missing in enemy territory while on daring missions during the 1965 and 1971 Indo-Pak wars. The nation has forgotten them, though successive governments continue to make token acknowledgements about their missing status. Over the last five decades, there have been scattered reports offering information piecemeal, but this is the first time the saga has been fully told. The result of years of research, the book unearths startling revelations that shed new light on the subject. Amid much hearsay and dismissive commentary, this book is an attempt to find answers to the question, ‘What happened to these men?’ It also hopes to open up a debate on how soldiers are often used as pawns by governments, even as they pay lip-service to their cause.

Honour Bound: Adventures of an Indian Lawyer in the English Courts
Sarosh Zaiwalla

In this memoir, Zaiwalla looks back on his passage to England at a time when diversity had barely begun to take root in England’s legal circles, to now leading a groundbreaking law firm. His is a story of a solicitor who made his way on his own terms, with creativity but without ever compromising on his values. While he still has many chapters ahead (a lawyer never retires after all), the ones that have concluded have created a storm in India, and feature a diverse cast including Rajiv and Sonia Gandhi, P.V. Narasimha Rao, V.P. Singh, the Hinduja brothers, the Dalai Lama, Benazir Bhutto, and Amitabh Bachchan. In this bold yet measured tale of trial and triumph, Zaiwalla tells all – as much as lawyer-client privilege permits of course.
