Continuous drought season takes a heavy toll on Subodh’s life. As the bank debt piles up, it leaves him with no choice. During one such suicide attempt, Subodh happens to meet Vanhi, a schoolgirl near a railway track. Their initial conversation enlightens him and the grief disappears in no time, because of her innocence and simplicity. All those intentions of committing suicide are metamorphosed by her audacity and the magical tiffin box that she carries. Subodh's incredible journey begins with the little one's brilliance and under the lights of Stephen Noronha. Every obstacle towards his journey creates an opportunity for himself and for the villagers at large. On achieving his ambitious dream, Stephen helps Subodh to deliver a powerful message to all the debt-ridden farmers. "Committing suicide is not the ultimate solution. A person hardly needs a few seconds to commit suicide and be relieved of it. The problem expands multifold, which later one’s family has to bear, lifelong. There exists a thin line between life and death while killing self. The thin lifeline is often neglected and crossed because of the huge burden of loans and poverty. If we remain calm and composed, we can see that thin lifeline, through our savior. The savior can be in any form, a living thing, or any object, close to us. The living thing can be any of our near and dear ones. If we look around patiently, our cattle too can be a rescuer, with their simple touch.”

This volume explores film and television for children and youth.

This collection offers a contemporary analysis of film and television designed for this important audience, with particular attention to new directions evident in the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries. With examples drawn from Iran, China, Korea, India, Israel, Eastern Europe, the Philippines, and France, as well as from the United States and the United Kingdom, contributors address a variety of issues ranging from content to production, distribution, marketing, and the use of film, both as object and medium, in education. Through a diverse consideration of media for young infants up to young adults, this volume reveals the newest trends in children’s film and television and its role as both a source of entertainment and pedagogy.

‘Pandharpur Wari’ is a walking pilgrimage to Pandharpur! It’s a wonderful journey, enjoyed by the devotees, who dance and sing, while walking all the way to Pandharpur from Alandi. There is only one desire in every devotee’s (called warkari) heart, “I want to meet the Lord Vitthal at Pandharpur.” In recent years, many foreigners and students of social sciences have participated in the Wari, just to see and experience the joy of the journey. Many people from the well educated and also well to do class dream of joining the Wari. But they do not know how to prepare, how to join, and where, and what to expect in the arduous walking pilgrimage that extends to almost 20 days. So, the dream remains unfulfilled. This travelogue is also a guide. It is my effort to make that information and guidance available to prospective warkaris (those who walk in the Wari). It is based on my own journey in the Wari. I have added several photographs that speak more than the words!! I hope the aspirant reader will get charged, and the join the Wari to complete a lifetime ambition. I also hope to let the whole world know about this sacred pilgrimage. The curious reader may read, the seeker of joy of travelling may visit and the seeker of peace, happiness and God, may join the Wari and come to Pandharpur. Where else, on the earth, will you find God, standing eagerly, waiting for you?

A street sweeper discovers a cache of black market money and escapes to see the Taj Mahal with his underage mistress; an Untouchable races to reclaim his life that’s been stolen by an upper-caste identity thief; a slum baby’s head gets bigger and bigger as he gets smarter and smarter, while his family tries to find a cure. One of India’s most original and audacious writers, Uday Prakash, weaves three tales of living and surviving in today’s globalized India. In his stories, Prakash portrays realities about caste and class with an authenticity absent in most English-language fiction about South Asia. Sharply political but free of heavy handedness.
