Seeking respite from a novel that has hit an impasse, Vikramajit Ram accepts an invitation from his friend Manoj Bawa to join him on a drive to Ladakh. It is the start of the Himalayan summer of 2009; the high mountain passes have just opened for the season. As the journey progresses, Vikram finds that the quirky company at the wheel and the otherworldly beauty of this Shangri La are the perfect fix for his jaded senses. On a high - literal and metaphoric - on the Highest Motorable Pass in the World, he abandons his doomed work of fiction to write instead of this journey. The outcome derives its title from the Ladakhi words for 'lake and 'pass . Weaving together elements of art and architecture, natural history and biography, Tso and La is a tribute to this enigmatic and deeply mystical corner of India. Against a backdrop of uncontainable grandeur, Manoj and Vikram find prayer flags and child-monks, magpies and wild asses, vast glacial lakes and surreal sand dunes. Four weeks and 8,200 kilometres later, the friends return home to Bangalore. One throws himself into a new job; the other embarks on a new journey of words.

Now considered a classic among readers interested in Tibetan Buddhism and pilgrimages of the spirit of all kinds, A Journey in Ladakh is Andrew Harvey's spiritual travelogue of his arduous journey to one of the most remote parts of the world--the highest, least populated region in India, cut off by snow for six months each year. Buddhists have meditated in the mountains of Ladakh since three centuries before Christ, and it is there that the purest form of Tibetan Buddhism is still practiced today.

The Loves Loved & The Lives Lived is a gutting account of Anant’s coming to terms with Anshika’s death and coming into his own as a man of honour. An honest and detailed account of grief over time, studded with moments of hope, beauty, and clear-eyed observations of many flavours of life suffuse this story of love, loss, growth, and man-woman relationship with a conscious frankness. The author challenges the status quo and yet upholds the sanctity of religion, spirituality, dignity, and Indian values with a progressive outlook. The book takes the measure of the complex bond of love that recovers and transmutes the past into something livable, with verve and honesty. The author’s ability to convey Anshika’s last words she did not love Anant anymore was actually an act of the truest love that leaves the most indelible impression. The Loves Loved & The Lives Lived is a good read for a very good reason: poignant, blisteringly honest, generously vulnerable, and the way Anant pulls himself out of the brink of despair and finds a way through the lifelong project of processing grief gives the book a piercing emotional clarity. - Mishmi Rao
