Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. CHASING THE PILLAR OF LIGHT is a powerful blend of family drama, spiritual travelogue, and timeless wisdom. It explores faith not as dogma, but as an inward journey-toward authenticity, connection, and the enduring light within. A Modern Family's Transformative Pilgrimage to the 12 JyotirlingasPART 1: THE CRACKS APPEAR The Malhotra penthouse in Mumbai's Worli neighborhood was a monument to success. Floor-to-ceiling windows framed the glittering Bandra-Worli Sea Link, a triumph of human ambition stretching across the dark Arabian Sea. Inside lived what appeared to be the perfect urban family.Akshay Malhotra, a self-made construction tycoon, had built his empire from a single borrowed cement mixer. His wife, Priya, was a sharp, articulate Vice President at a leading national news channel. Their sixteen-year-old son, Rohan, was academically capable but increasingly lived inside a world of screens, headphones, and digital certainty.Akshay's company, Malhotra Constructions, was under siege. A major project in Dombivli had stalled under political pressure, payments frozen without explanation. Banks that once courted him now sent automated reminders. The liquidity report on his desk felt less like paper and more like a death certificate. Stress sat heavy in his chest, unrelenting.Across the living room, Priya scrolled through her phone, its blue glow highlighting her exhaustion. Her career-once a badge of pride-had become a moral quagmire. She was pushed to air sensational, poorly sourced content to appease advertisers and political interests. Each "Urgent" email chipped away at her integrity. She felt like a spectator in her own life, watching herself become someone she no longer recognized.PART 2: THE JOURNEY OF METAPHORS Their pilgrimage began awkwardly-urban efficiency colliding with ancient devotion. Crowded trains, modest lodgings, and the overwhelming sensory chaos of India's spiritual centers stripped away comfort and control.SOMNATH - The Eternal Lord & the Cycle of Renewal The Somnath temple rose like a white sentinel beside the Arabian Sea. As Akshay anxiously took business calls in the endless queue, they heard the legend of Chandra, the moon god cursed to wane, restored not by removing the curse but by making it cyclical.MALLIKARJUNA - The Lord of the Mountain & the Family Fracture In the forests of Srisailam, a trivial hotel booking error triggered a sharp argument. The temple's legend told of a divine family conflict that drove Kartikeya away from home.MAHAKALESHWAR - The Lord of Time & Surrender In Ujjain, the pre-dawn Bhasma Aarti used sacred ash from funeral pyres. Akshay skipped it for a critical business call.OMKARESHWAR - The Sacred Sound & Unspoken Truth On the island shaped like Om, silence was profound. Here, Shiva manifested as the primordial sound to still cosmic chaos.KEDARNATH - The Lord of the Field & Letting Go The Himalayan trek stripped away ego and strength. Akshay faltered in thin air. Without words, Rohan took his father's backpack.PART 3: THE INNER BATTLEFIELDSBHIMASHANKAR - The Warrior's Purpose In the jungles near Pune, Rohan learned that strength was not rage, but focus. He asked to witness the closure of the company-not out of fear, but understanding.KASHI VISHWANATH - Cosmic Perspective Varanasi overwhelmed the senses-life, death, chanting, fire. Here, ego dissolves.TRIMBAKESHWAR - The Broken Vow At the source of the Godavari, Priya confronted her deepest breach-betraying her own integrity.PART 4: ATONEMENT AND THE BRIDGE HOMERAMESHWARAM - The Grace of Atonement Rameshwaram taught humility.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. Title: Beyond the NumbersGenre: Literary Fiction Political & Corporate DramaBeyond the Numbers follows the life of Rohan, a middle-class Indian man whose journey from a financially constrained childhood in the 1990s to global corporate leadership reveals the unseen cost of professional success.Raised in a household where money was counted quietly and ambitions were postponed indefinitely, Rohan learns early that survival depends on observation, restraint, and discipline. His education gives him qualifications but no direction, pushing him into his first job at a hospital, where he discovers that institutions value hierarchy over judgment. Saving a life by breaking protocol earns him punishment instead of recognition, teaching him that systems reward obedience, not courage.Seeking growth, Rohan enters the world of domestic political consultancy, where power operates through data manipulation, narrative control, and silence. As he travels across states delivering high-pressure political projects, he witnesses ethical erosion, suspicious deaths, and the normalization of wrongdoing. A brutal 36-hour election project in Bihar reveals his natural leadership under crisis, while a near-fatal cloudburst in Tehri confronts him with the human cost of ambition. A later kidnapping incident in Chhattisgarh exposes how political connections override law, forcing Rohan to confront the real reach of power.Disillusioned but wiser, Rohan leaves political consulting to join the Ministry of Commerce, seeking stability and ethical distance. Instead, he uncovers large-scale trade irregularities quietly buried under procedure. When subtle threats and professional isolation follow, Rohan learns a critical lesson: truth is not defeated by dishonesty, but by timing. Choosing survival over futile heroism, he steps back, documenting rather than confronting.Parallel to his professional evolution, Rohan's seven-year love ends quietly when she marries someone else. There is no confrontation, only acceptance-marking one of the novel's central emotional losses. Marriage later brings stability, but not fulfillment, prompting Rohan to quietly upskill and prepare for a larger transition.A mentor finally articulates what Rohan has sensed all along: he has outgrown protected systems. Leaving government service, Rohan enters a multinational corporation, where he faces a harsh performance culture that strips away comfort but rewards accountability. Through failure, recalibration, and earned trust, he grows into a leader defined not by authority, but by influence.An overseas move and fatherhood reshape his understanding of risk and success. As his life stabilizes professionally and personally, Rohan realizes that success is not defined by titles, wealth, or power, but by knowing when to leave, what to carry forward, and what to let go.The novel ends not with triumph, but with quiet clarity-Rohan at peace with a life shaped as much by loss as by achievement, finally living beyond numbers, narratives, and expectations.Beyond the Numbers is a character-driven, realistic portrayal of professional India, blending politics, corporate systems, and emotional depth. It appeals to readers interested in contemporary Indian fiction success stories How far would you go to succeed-and what would you lose along the way?Born into a home where money was counted in whispers, Rohan grows up learning that survival comes before ambition. What begins as a quiet middle-class struggle soon becomes a lifelong education in power, systems, and sacrifice.From the unforgiving corridors of a hospital to the ruthless war rooms of political consultancy, from government offices where truth waits for timing to global corporate boardrooms where p Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. SHADOW is a psychological crime novel about consequence-quiet, accumulating, and irreversible. A LIFE SHAPED BY LEAVINGShe is born in a small village where questions are dangerous and silence is survival.From an early age, she learns what many girls learn quietly: that attention can be unsafe, that adults look away when it's convenient, and that displacement is often the only protection available.Nothing dramatic announces this lesson.No single event explains everything.Instead, it is learned slowly-through absences, through unspoken rules, through the understanding that staying creates vulnerability.So she leaves.She leaves villages.She leaves schools.She leaves relationships.Each time, the world confirms what she already knows: there is no penalty for emotional abandonment. There is no consequence for men who take intimacy and walk away intact. LOVE WITHOUT ACCOUNTABILITYIn college, she tries to believe otherwise.She falls in love-twice.Both relationships end not with cruelty, but with indifference. With promises quietly withdrawn. With men who move on without explanation, apology, or consequence.These are not dramatic breakups.They are worse.They teach her that love is conditional, temporary, and easily replaced.After graduation, she moves again-this time into work. Into routine. Into the promise that effort might finally stabilize something.Instead, she learns something else. TOOLS WITHOUT MORALITYWorking in a jewelry market, she is trained in materials, cleaning agents, industrial chemicals. Poisons exist here not as weapons, but as tools-ordinary, normalized, unremarkable.No one treats them as dangerous.No one asks what they could become.Later, in a corporate environment, she tries again to build permanence. A long-term relationship. A shared home. A future.When she becomes pregnant and asks for marriage, the truth arrives without ceremony: THE SYSTEM ALWAYS FORGIVES THE QUIETLY POWERFULShe leaves again-this time stripped of belief.In Goa, she watches men online with new eyes.Profiles. Messages. Offers.Men want bodies without responsibility.Intimacy without accountability. INTIMACY AS A WEAPONShe creates a new identity. Then another. Then another.Each one is slightly different-different name, different tone, different vulnerability. She studies what men respond to. How quickly trust forms. How easily boundaries dissolve when they believe they are safe. THE PATTERN NO ONE WANTS TO SEEBy the seventh death, killing has become process. THE MAN WHO DOES NOT CHASEArjun is a police officer who does not believe in coincidence.He steps into her world not as authority, but as presence. INTIMACY WITHOUT DEMANDUndercover, Arjun becomes just another man passing through.It is a psychological standoff between repetition and interruption.Between a woman who learned to disappear and a man who refuses to leave. WHEN JUSTICE ARRIVES QUIETLYAs pressure increases, the system deploys a final trap-one built not on force, but on emotional patience. An undercover operation mirrors her methods back at the world.The final case does not end in spectacle.No heroic arrest.Containment replaces punishment.And nothing feels clean afterward. WHAT THIS BOOK IS AND IS NOTSHADOW is not about revenge.It is not about glorifying violence.It does not offer moral comfort.Violence is intimate, restrained, and unsettling because it feels plausible.Abuse is implied, not exploited.Psychology replaces spectacle.How silence Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
