"Not a Fairy tale" ​By Monika Bharti

"Oh God, it’s high time you do something about it. It’s not 1864 that he will court you for months and months without actually doing anything about it," Piya said exasperatedly. "Well, I like this, the courtship thing," Nikita said avoiding Piya’s stern look. "This isn’t a fairytale," Piya said. Nikita always believed in fairytales and romance, like it’s depicted in books. But then reality set in and she faced ups and downs making her belief in fairytales fade away. Will she ever believe in fairytales again? Does her prince charming actually exist? Will she find her true love in the face of this reality? Or will she settle for an arranged marriage and forget it all?

Monika Bharti was born on 24th May, 1990. She completed her schooling from different cities in Maharashtra like Mumbai, Nashik, Aurangabad and Nagpur as her father was an IPS officer from the Maharashtra cadre. After completing her 12th from Shivaji Science College, Nagpur, she moved to Delhi and did her B.Tech and MBA from Amity University, Noida. After working for almost two years in the corporate sector, she is presently doing her doctorate and has published a few research papers in national and international journals. She is a regular blogger and also writes poetry.

“ KURU RASHTRA KE UTTARADHIKARI “ – by Biranchi Narayan Muduli

यह कथा आपको जय संहिता (महाभारत ) में नहीं मिलेगी, परन्तु यह कथा जय संहिता की हि है... प्राचीन समय में भारतवर्ष के उन्नत और विशाल महाजनपदों में जहाँ म्लेछ अपनी शक्ति और घुसपैठ बढ़ा रहे थे, वहीं दूसरी तरफ बुद्धिजीवीयों में हो रहे विश्वासघात के कारण प्रत्येक महाजनपद गृहयुद्ध के कगार पर था |
यह वह समय था, जब भारतवर्ष का सबसे सम्पन्न और धनी महाजपद हस्तिनापुर अपने स्वर्णिम समय को भोग रहा था, जहाँ का राजकुमार सुयोधन अपने चचेरे भाई भीम पर अपने प्राण न्योछावर करता था, और पारिवारिक समस्या होने के उपरान्त भी वह कुंती के पुत्रों को प्रत्येक राजसी सुख देना चाहता था, वह किसी के ऋण से बंधा हुआ था, परन्तु परिस्थितियों ने दोनों को अलग अलग स्थान पर लाकर खड़ा कर दिया था, जहाँ अब वह भाई नहीं शत्रु बन चुके थे और इसी प्रतिशोध की अग्नि को साक्षी मानकर अर्जुन ने भारतवर्ष का महान धनुर्धर बनने का निर्णंय लिया |
क्या सच में अर्जुन चरम योद्धा की उपाधि प्राप्त अतिमहाअतीरथी की तरह प्रत्येक युद्ध में लड़ता था? ..... क्या मत्त्स्य प्रदेश में बनने वाली भारतवर्ष की सबसे मजबूत तलवारों की सिंधु प्रदेश हड्डपा में हो रही तस्करी को अर्जुन रोक पाएगा?.... जिसके पीछे दुर्योधन का अपना राजनयिक स्वार्थ छुपा हुआ था...अर्जुन भारतवर्ष के संसद में इसे उचित कैसे ठहराएगा? या फिर भाईयों में हो रहे मतभेद और षड्यन्त्र इस भूमि को किसी अनदेखे युद्ध की तरफ धकेल देगा?

"Esstorlogue" By Hari Singh

The book, Esstorlogue, is a collection of essays, stories, and travelogues. Some essays are objective whereas some are subjective, though the elements of each other have often crossed their boundaries. Stories are often taken from rustic life of far off villages which were devoid of amenities. Relations in a combined family which are now breathing their last can be perceived in the story. The three travelogues which are narratives of experiences of the author when he took his journey to the South, to the East and to the West, show the different lifestyles and cultures of India. The views are totally personal, although the remarks have been as far as possible kept objective. In writing essays, the writer finds himself a little tense whereas, in stories, he feels somewhat at ease. He has to take care that every effect has some cause and in weaving the plot, he has to see that no unwanted threads appear on the surface. The author has tried to draw the word picture of the scenes of different places that he had toured to fill in the gap of the real pictures which could not be possible in absence of a handy camera or an Android phone. The genre is non-fiction but the readers will take enjoyment like that of fiction.
The author is a retired principal of an Intermediate College in UP. He took to profession of teaching at a very early age of 19 just after completing his graduation in Science (Maths). Since then he has always been in the academic field either furthering his qualification or improving his technical skill in the field of pedagogy.

After serving in various schools for about 43 years he worked as Director of a Public School in Varanasi. Finally, he served as a visiting Director of a Degree college in Jaunpur. During his teaching profession, he has been giving his views on different topics in different newspaper like The Pioneer, The Aaj, etc.
