Description:

Am I - I Am is an assortment of delectable snippets from various talks of Karl Renz - talks which Karl often refers to as ‘Living Words’.

These ‘Living Words’ are best described in Karl’s own words as those “without a speaker, having no direction, are not teaching, give no advice and do not want anything from you.”
This, simply put, is the heart of the book.
all you can say about the phenomenon named ‘Karl’ is that the words that emanate from him are a relentless destroyer of all concepts - from the cosy to the profound. Using his livewire humour and trademark wordplay, Karl edges you so far beyond your pet concepts that at some point you may just find that ‘you’ have fallen off into the void.

An enigmatic feature of Karl’s words is that they are utterly bereft of intent or strategy. And surprise! Something which otherwise would have been deemed fit to be dismissed as mindless prattle, has quite the opposite effect in this case - of making one want for more and never having enough of it!
This spontaneous barrage of Kail’s words, steeped in carefree-ness and intentionless-ness, can be more destructive to ‘whatever that can be destroyed’ than any conceivable tool of destruction. So, go ahead and enter this vortex of Absolute churning at your own risk - ‘you’ may or may not get out!

Description:

Rajasthan and Bundelkhan abound in stories of valour and sacrifice. Names like Rana Pratap and Chhatrasal are the bright lights that dazzle like the sun. but there are smaller stars as well, like Alha-Udal and Bappa Rawal, to whom history accords a brief tribute. Amar Singh Rathor belongs to this galaxy of stars.

Amar Singh Rathor, a brave Rajput warrior, was the Commander of Shah Jahan’s army, and was held in great esteem by the Mughal Emperor himself. He was brave with a great sense of self-worth. As long as Shah Jahan honoured him, he fulfilled his duties zealously. But when the king. Tricked by his jealous and scheming courtiers, hurt Amar Singh Rathor’s pride and self-respect, he fought the emperor with his small but courageous army and died a martyr’s death.

The story in this Amar Chitra Katha is about Amar Singh Rathor’s brave death, and the ensuing battle by two valiant young lads to bring back his body form Shah Jahan. It is based on the bood Amar Singh Rathor by the late Shri Gheesaram.

Madhubani painting or Mithila painting is a style of Indian painting this is a form of traditional art practiced in northern Bihar, known as the Mithilanchal. Originating from wall paintings or decorations and primarily practiced by rural women, this art form depicts nature and mythological tales, which have been passed on through generations in the form of simplistic graphics in two-dimensional perspective. Painting is done with fingers, twigs, brushes, nib-pens, and matchsticks, using natural dyes and pigments, and is characterized by eye-catching geometrical patterns. The paintings are traditionally based on mythological, folk themes and pastoral symbols. The central themes of most paintings are love, valor, devotion and fertility, though the approach may vary. So it is common to find scenes of courtship and marriages and symbols of fertility and prosperity like fish, parrot, elephant, turtle, sun, moon, bamboo tree, lotus, etc. in prominence. The highlight of the glorious heritage of Madhubani paintings is the exceptional uses of colours with earthy undertones along with brilliant workmanship.

‘Unlike a drop of water which loses its identity when it joins the ocean, man does not lose his being in the society in which he lives. Man’s life is independent. He is born not for the development of the society alone, but for the development of his self.’—B.R. Ambedkar

Born in 1891 into an Untouchable family, Dr Bhimrao Ambedkar is the man behind the Indian Constitution and the champion of the Dalit cause. Much ahead of his times, he raised pertinent issues pertaining to the broader cause of nation-building process for India. This is a collection of extracts from some of his finest works that capture him as a modernist thinker with an outstanding intellectual sweep over the major aspects of a then newly independent nation.
