Book Release
Brink – Bhaswar Mukherjee, PGP 1988
About the Book
Death is not a single note-it is a symphony of endings and beginnings, of silence and echoes. Death wears many faces, and they need not all be morbid or signify a finality.
This powerful collection of short stories, some of which were shortlisted for the various prompts by India’s finest authors for the Times of India Write India contests, takes a stab in exploring these various faces.
They peek into the hearts of those who face, embrace, or deal with death. From the quiet release of a soul long bound by pain, to the chilling vengeance of a spirit wronged; from the tender closure of a love story unfinished, to the unsettling burial of a truth too dangerous to live-each tale explores a different mask that death wears.
Some offer hope, others demand reckoning, yet all reveal something deeply human. Vengeance and forgiveness, surrender and triumph, the end of hope or its beginning; each story unwraps a different facet, revealing that the way we die is perhaps the ultimate reflection of the life we lived.
Whether it arrives as a whisper or as a reckoning, death in these pages is never just the end. It is a transformation. It is a tragedy. It is a triumph. It is the final word-or sometimes, the first.
Thirteen stories.
Thirteen faces.
One inevitable truth.

Timeless Topical Limericks – Abhinav Agarwal, PGP 2005
About the Book
Composed over the span of a year, this collection brings together a daily dose of limericks that chronicle India, and sometimes the world, in rhyme and rhythm, in all its glory, grime, and grit. From politics and economics to sports, society, and everyday quirks, each five-line verse captures the pulse of the nation and world. These limericks turn headlines and quirky bits of news into rhymes and reflections.
These limericks are a blend of satire, observation, and sometimes, even lament. This anthology is both a celebration of the art of the limerick as well as a tribute to the person who inspired this endeavour and collection: Padma Bhushan Swargiya Bibek Debroy.
