Fab Five is the story of the power-packed batting lineup of the Indian team comprising of Sourav Ganguly, Virender Sehwag, Sachin Tendulkar, VVS Laxman and Rahul Dravid; each of them legends in their own rights.
The book goes back to Mahabharat and draws a parallel from the Pandavas who were legendary warriors. Based on their distinctive traits, each member of the Fab Five is equated to one of the Pandavas – Ganguly as Yudhishth
Fab Five is the story of the power-packed batting lineup of the Indian team comprising of Sourav Ganguly, Virender Sehwag, Sachin Tendulkar, VVS Laxman and Rahul Dravid; each of them legends in their own rights.
The book goes back to Mahabharat and draws a parallel from the Pandavas who were legendary warriors. Based on their distinctive traits, each member of the Fab Five is equated to one of the Pandavas – Ganguly as Yudhishthir, Sehwag as Bheem, Tendulkar as Arjun, Laxman as Nakul and Dravid as Sahadev.
Together, they scripted some of the most famous victories in the history of Indian cricket. While it was a collective team effort that led to the success and the contribution of other players were equally crucial, but it would not have been possible without this strong batting line-up. With the emergence of Fab Five, the days when India’s batting had a huge dependency on Tendulkar’s shoulders was a thing of the past. Each member of the Fab Five could win the match single-handedly on their day.
Ganguly’s lofted sixes, Sehwag’s aggression, Tendulkar’s impeccable straight drives, Laxman’s artistry and Dravid’s assuring defense were a treat to the eyes of the cricket fans.
It is a humble tribute to these five legends and a celebration of their contribution to Indian cricket.

Guts Amidst Bloodbath is the story of Aunshuman Gaekwad as told by him with many fascinating insights by his teammates, opponents, administrators, selectors, umpires, friends and family members.
His is a name associated with Indian Cricket for more than 50 years in some form or the other. He has been a solid opening batsman, an astute administrator, an able selector, a successful coach, an analytical media person and above all a helping human being. But for a player who began his First-Class career as an off-spinner and lower order batsman, to become a Test opener for India is nothing short of remarkable. To play the fast bowlers of the 1970s and 1980s without helmets and other protective gears was an achievement in itself.
Post his retirement, he has served Indian cricket in various capacities, the most notable one being his role as the coach of the team from 1997 to 1999. As a coach, he was known for his discipline, honesty and integrity.
It is a testimony to his character, that he was re-called to coach the Indian team at a time of turmoil post the match-fixing saga. Even today, he is taking up the cause of Indian cricketers as the President of the Indian Cricketers Association (ICA).
In summary, this tale is a celebration of the man and his contribution to Indian cricket. It charts the journey of a boy from Baroda who went on to become one of the most respected figures in world cricket.
The year 2007 was game-changing for Indian cricket. In March that year, Indian cricket was rocked by the early exit at the 50-over World Cup in the Caribbean. However, in the months ahead, the team picked up the pieces and charted a path to recovery. In the backdrop was the ICC World T20 2007 - the first ever world championship in the format. India opted to back the youngsters, led by Mahendra Singh Dhoni. There were no expectations or the pressure of history.
The year 2007 was game-changing for Indian cricket. In March that year, Indian cricket was rocked by the early exit at the 50-over World Cup in the Caribbean. However, in the months ahead, the team picked up the pieces and charted a path to recovery. In the backdrop was the ICC World T20 2007 - the first ever world championship in the format. India opted to back the youngsters, led by Mahendra Singh Dhoni. There were no expectations or the pressure of history. In South Africa, MS Dhoni and his men dazzled the public and clinched victory in a dramatic final against arch-rivals Pakistan. A lot happened on and off the field in the months between India's nadir and zenith that year. This book explores those events and recounts how Indian cricket changed in those months. The ripple effects of that victory are felt even today as India's cricket loving public embraced T20 cricket and created a big market for the format.

This book on Jesus Christ is by a devotee of Sri Sathya Sai Baba. The devotee happens to be a man who spent a prolonged period of his life in the Indian army as a civil engineer. His distinguished service in the cause of the nation was acclaimed and awarded by the Indian army.
Later, the colonel-devotee answered the call of Baba and he became an ashramite at Prasanti Nilayam, Puttaparthi, in Andhra Pradesh.
At Prasanti Nilayam, the engineer-devotee Samir Bose was chiefly instrumental in helping to build the Chaitanya Jyothi Museum. Baba appointed him as its administrative director. Now in his 80s he still remains actively engaged as its founder-director. Here his latent talents as an artist and as an author surfaced.
In the best tradition of the all-embracing heritage of India’s spirituality – where every religious faith is considered to be true and equal – author Samir Bose has served the reader with his own view of Christ and Christianity.
We are honoured to include some pen-sketches of Col. Bose to reveal his versatility.
The book is bound to generate interest among serious thinkers.
