We learn how to make a living, but rarely how to live.
Our education system teaches us engineering, law, medicine, and management — skills that help us earn. But it often overlooks life skills that help us live meaningfully every day. This book decodes four essential life skills that address four key aspects of our being: Communication, Money, Mind, and Food.
Sales: Communicate effectively and efficiently in personal and professional context.
Mindfulness: Be aware and equanimous in both pleasant and unpleasant situations.
Personal Finance: Become financially free and experience the things that truly matter.
Nutrition: Decode what to eat, when to eat, and how to eat.
Each of these skills is essential. Remove one, and you will feel incomplete.
Through twenty-three practical habits, you will learn to master these four life skills — not through theory, but through doable actions.
Whether you are starting your career, seeking balance in a fast-paced life, or looking for deeper meaning, this book offers a practical path to experience both material success and spiritual growth.
LeanSpark is a modern, evolved framework for innovation that is rooted in frugality, adaptability, and purposeful ingenuity. While it carries forward the spirit of jugaad, the Indian ethos of improvisational problem-solving, LeanSpark moves beyond makeshift fixes to stand for solutions that are lean, scalable, and sustainable.
Resourceful problem-solving should not compromise on functionality, ethics, or long-term impact. Moreover, it should thrive not despite limitations, but because of them. This mindset is not unique to India or the developing world. In an age of climate crises, resource inequalities, digital disruption, and geopolitical conflict, LeanSpark is a universal language of resilient ingenuity.
Building on the authors’ expertise in frugal and ingenious innovation from Jugaad Innovation and Leapfrog, this book offers a fresh, globally relevant perspective. Through compelling narratives and actionable insights, LeanSpark demonstrates how India’s frugal innovation model can inspire organizations worldwide to innovate faster, reduce costs, and enhance customer value—without exhausting the planet’s resources. This is not just about surviving scarcity; it’s about turning limitations into strategic advantages.
A vivid collection of voices from Goa, Appetite: New Writing from Goa explores the tangled web of human desire in its various manifestations and the deeply rooted traditions that define (a form of) Goan identity today.
From stories of late-night feasts gone awry in bustling family living rooms, to poems that trace lustful longing and essays that reflect on diaspora and in-migration, each piece captures what it feels like to truly yearn. The anthology moves effortlessly between the intimate and the expansive, from the salty tang of the sea and the delicate twang of a rebec to the inner landscapes of complex characters wrestling with love, loss, sexuality and identity.
Rooted in the state’s history yet alive to its present, Appetite is a heartfelt tribute to Goa itself—its salt-washed shores, spice-laden air, delectable cuisine and the unquenchable appetite that pulses at the heart of the land and its people. The Goa Writers invite readers to savour not only the stories told, but the world that makes them possible.

One morning, Gregor Samsa wakes up to find himself transformed into a horrible vermin. Here begins Metamorphosis, the most resounding story of the inherent human conflicts and the suppressed dark side of the human existence.
As Samsa struggles to remind those around him that he is still human despite his new repulsive appearance; we see his friends and family struggle to remember the person that lives in this unappealing creature. Are we inherently a superficial society?

Metamorphosis is a compelling, sarcastic, and emotional story holding a mirror to the feelings of alienation common to all alike.
