Sixty Is The New Assassin – Shesh (Venkatraman Sheshashayee), PGP 1988
About the Book
WAS AN ASSASSIN’S ROLE AKIN TO A CEO’S ROLE? BOTH NEEDED SOME SUSPENSION OF MORALITY, A WILLINGNESS TO DO THINGS THAT MOST WOULD NOT, OR COULD NOT.
After retiring from active corporate life, sixty-year-old Ishmael Dollah keeps himself busy with regular runs around the city, tennis at the club and his book club meets. Life is good—a bit staid maybe, but good. That is until, one day, he hears of his beloved daughter-in-law’s rumoured affair. Suddenly Ishmael’s perfect world is turned upside down.
Never one to give in, Ishmael decides to take matters into his own hands. He’ll apply his sharp mind and ruthless boardroom tactics to plan not a hostile takeover, but a carefully orchestrated act of vengeance.
As he treads the fine line between right and wrong, blurring it to suit his needs, Ishmael realises he rather enjoys the process. Sixty Is the New Assassin is an intriguing blend of dark humour and suspense that will keep the reader hooked up to the very end.

Where Quantum Agents Bloom: Harnessing the Wisdom of Science and Spirituality – Shamit Bagchi, PGSEM 2011
About the Book
In a world ravaged by quantum tyranny, hope flickers in the most unexpected places.
Lodin, a ruthless dictator, has twisted the very fabric of reality, wielding quantum technology to enforce his iron will. Lush forests are frozen in time, cities crumble under the weight of oppression, and the very air crackles with manufactured uncertainty. But from the depths of despair, a spark of rebellion ignites.
Dushyant, a brilliant but tormented physicist, and Zhang, a fiercely independent scientist ostracized for her unorthodox ideas, forge an unlikely alliance with a reclusive order of monks nestled high in the Himalayas. Together, they discover that the key to defeating Lodin lies not in brute force, but in understanding the universe’s inherent creativity.
Armed with a revolutionary technology – the Probability Cultivator – and guided by the wisdom of ancient traditions, they embark on a perilous journey to rewrite the rules of reality itself. But can they harness the power of generative possibility before Lodin solidifies his quantum dominion?
“Where Quantum Agents Bloom” is a thought-provoking blend of hard science fiction, philosophical inquiry, and thrilling adventure. Explore a world where:
- Quantum physics is not just theory, but a force for both destruction and creation.
- The human mind is the ultimate quantum computer.

- Hope blooms even in the darkest corners of despair.
