Eithu Arambha
₹180.00Someone has rightly said, “Every end in fact has a beginning. The way night begins at the end of the day .The way day begins at the end of the night. If there has been tears at the end of happiness, there too has been celebration at the end of sorrow.”
As a novel “Begins from Here” is a piece of solemn expression of both the inherent tolerance of a woman and potential strength for her protestation as an awakened soul.
It gives the lively narration of love, betrayal, struggle, protestation and finally success of Urbashi, the main protagonist of the narrative. The novel is brilliant and unique in the sense it does not confirm to the rules of the tradition and generalization. For example when Urbashi, the heroine asks Pulak, the hero, “How do you define our relationship?”
His answer is not to define the relationship in the ambit of lover, husband, father and son that arbitrarily confines the relationships in the narrow lanes of those words.
“There exists a relationship between man and woman which is nameless and holds infinite in its embrace.”
Based on realities of contemporary happenings, Eithu Arambha is distinctive in its message and unique in its creation as a novel.

Endless Journey
₹150.00Endless Journey has twenty one poems written by Sumedha Jena. About the poems of this book Sumedha says, “A majority of the poems written in this book aren’t from my own experiences, rather they are from seeing other people experience something similar. A lot of the poems are also exaggerated to give the reader a better understanding and insight about what they’re reading. At a young age, I realized that life is not always a happy journey, and that one has to always endure hardships along the way in order to reach a successful point in their life. I wrote these poems targeting anybody who has gone through something similar in life. I felt like if I write poetry based on these topics, someone might be able to relate to them. This book is basically about the transition of coming out of a dark, angry, and an unhappy place into a more radiant world.”

Eros and Thanatos
₹250.00In Greek mythology, Eros was the Greek god of love and sex. In the Theogony of Hesiod (700 BCE), Eros was a primeval god, son of Chaos(the original primeval emptiness of the universe) but later tradition made him the son of Aphrodite(goddess of sexual love and beauty) by either Zeus (the king of the gods), Ares (god of war and of battle), or Hermes (divine messenger of the gods). Eros was a god not simply of passion but also of fertility. His brother was Anteros( the god of mutual love) who was sometimes described as his opponent. The chief associates of Eros were Pothos and Himeros (Longing and Desire). Roman counterpart of Eros was Cupid . Eros has the ability to make mortals and gods fall in love by shooting them with his bow and arrow. This would work on both mortals and gods. Thanatos, in ancient Greek religion and mythology, was the personification of death. Hesiod thought that Thanatos was the son of the Nyx (goddess of the night) and the Erebus (god of darkness). This makes Thanatos dark and negative. His twin brother is Hypnos, the god of sleep. He appeared to humans to carry them off to the underworld when the time allotted to them by the Fates had expired. It is believed Thanatos to be always nearby Eros. They are brothers. One represents the life and creation and another death and destruction. In Greek mythology, Eros is the god of love, and Thanatos is the god of death, making them opposite of one another. Eros is portrayed as nice, compassionate, loving, and full of life. This is how Eros came to represent the instinct of life. People who are driven by life instincts are often happy, compassionate, and social. Thanatos is associated with violent death and would be called upon by gods who wished to inflict death upon one another. Thanatos often manifested anger, violence, and aggression. These characteristics are portrayed in those who are driven by death instincts.
This collection has 69 poems. Under Eros 35 and under Thanatos 34.
