Synopsis

Contemporary Indian English Literature focuses on the recent history of Indian literature in English since the publication of Salman Rushdie's novel Midnight's Children (1981), a watershed moment for Indian writing in English in the global literary landscape. The chapters in this volume consider a wide range of poets, novelists, short fiction writers and dramatists who have notably contributed to the proliferation of Indian literature in English from the late 20th century to the present. The volume provides an introduction to current developments in Indian English literature and explains general ideas, as well as the specific features and styles of selected writers from this wide spectrum. It addresses students working in this field at university level, and includes thorough reading lists and study questions to encourage students to read, reflect on and write about Indian English literature critically.

    Discover who your really are. Transcending Anxiety, Fear, and Depression Without Techniques or Skills – A Self-Help Guide to Rediscover Life's Essence.Have you ever truly pondered the most fundamental questions of life? Who are you anyway? What is this place we call the Universe? What is reality?As midlife came about, drained and unfulfilled despite being fairly successful, I was almost done . From the outside, my life looked usual, positive, but inside - there was a whole different story.During my life journey, extraordinary encounters propelled me onto a path of deep exploration that concerns the nature of reality. It led me to the crossroads of spirituality, philosophy, science, psychology and even the veiled territory of the psychedelic realm, all in pursuit of understanding the very essence of myself.In a span of years, I delved into the depths of my mind, confronting its enigmatic corners, including the dark ones, in a search for clarity.I’m not a scientist or a mystic. You could say that I’m a philosopher that went outside the perimeters of the institution to test out his philosophy in real life, or in other words, I live by what I say. This is my experience, my self-evident interaction with the universe on a daily basis over a lifetime of almost 40 years.I’m here not to create another belief system but rather to make you question yours.This book could be interpreted as a self-help guide, a spiritual journey, or a philosophical discourse. However, I believe that within the words of "Behind the Mask, Beyond the Mind," readers can discover themselves, or provoke deep questions. In this sense, this book represents a dialogue between you and me; I pose questions, and you respond within yourself. Through honest conversations, we can come to perceive reality as it truly is, and as a result, celebrate, accept, and love ourselves just as we are.

    The Unknown Life of Jake Fidellius: The Quantum Ethics Series 
    Meet Jake Fidellius: an unintentional hero of the absurd, adrift in a world where cappuccinos, algorithms, and the tiniest choices can reveal the deepest truths. From the quiet corners of coffee shops to the cosmic expanse of existence, Jake navigates the strange intersections of desire, creativity, and human blunder, asking whether any of us are truly free to choose. 
    In this collection of short, vaguely reflective stories, Jake explores the paradoxical dance between chaos and order: The Wet: the raw, unstructured burden of consciousness and The Dry: the human-made rules that always seem to fail. Philosophical, satirical, and brutally honest, these tales chronicle Jake’s attempts to find meaning when the world itself feels designed for absurdity. 
    But when the alien vessel 3I/ATLAS arrives, offering humanity a choice in the grand Consensus of Stars, Jake’s musings become urgent, terrifying, and viscerally real. As society fractures into factions and his queer, creative intentions are weaponized against him, Jake must navigate cosmic stakes, dreamlike prophecies, and the ultimate question: can we trust our own humanity over the algorithm?
