The tell-tale brain :
by Ramachandran, V. S.
Publication:
Noida :
Random house India,
2010
. xxii, 357 p. ;
, V.S. Ramachandran has exploded the boundaries of modern science - so much so that he has been praised by Richard Dawkins as a latter-day Marco Polo.*A specialist in brain damage, he is famous for an instinctive, intuitive approach to neurological disorders that has led him to successfully amputate phantom limbs, as well as solving the riddles of apotemnophilia (an obsession with self-amputation), and Capgrass syndrome (where patients who are in all other respects fully recovered become convinced that their loved ones are imposters). This new book will explore why the human brain is so unique and how it became so enchantingly complex. Taking us to the frontiers of neurology, he reveals what baffling and extreme case studies can teach us about the brain and how it evolved. Along the way we hear stories that are by turns moving, funny, tragic and disturbing, but always utterly fascinating.

Random House India,
2013
. 287 p. ;
, A humorous collection of stories of Jags Srinivasan as he bungles his way through life.
Jagannath Srinivasan, also referred to as Jags, is a bright albeit, highly confused, upwardly mobile male armed with an enviable IIT+IIM education. He drifts through life in benign auto pilot, easily swayed by things he reads, people he meets, and advice he receives. One day while trying to break into his professor’s house to submit a late assignment he chances upon a girl who he ultimately marries.
Armed with a wife, he is let loose to make his mark on the world. Step aboard as Jags goes from one job to another and one country to another with his self-deprecating humour and idiosyncratic view of cultures. Life is infinitely happier when you can
laugh at yourself—experience it with the lovable Jags as he bungles and stumbles through it.

Barons of banking:
by Dadabhoy, Bakhtiar K
Publication:
New Delhi:
Random House India,
2013
. 478 p. ;
, Barons of Banking highlights the contributions of six distinguished personalities from the world of bankingSir Sorabji Pochkhanawala, Sir Purshotamdas Thakurdas, Sir Chintaman D. Deshmukh, A.D. Shroff, H.T. Parekh, and R.K. Talwar who not only played a pioneering role in the growth of the institutions which they founded, or were actively associated with, but left an indelible mark on the banking industry as a whole. Through the narration of the history of five key institutions - the Central Bank of India; the Reserve Bank of India; the State Bank of India; the Industrial Credit and Investment Corporation of India Ltd; and the Housing Development and Finance Corporation Ltdthe author gives us a keen insight into the contributions of these luminaries to banking in India. Also included is a narration of the recommendations of important committees and commissions which influenced the course of Indian banking.
Divided into four parts, the book uses hitherto unused archival material recently put in the public domain by the RBI. Of particular interest is a discussion of the acrimonious relationship between Sir James Grigg, the Finance Member of the Viceroys Executive Council and Sir Osborne Smith, the first Governor of the RBI, which throws fresh light on a spat which remains unprecedented not only in the banks history, but possibly in all of banking history.
Meticulously researched and engagingly written, this book will be of interest to both the academic and general reader and, of course, to the professional banker interested in a selective peep into the history of his profession.
