Rabi is always in a tearing hurry. Crash, thud, run, jump… his mum gets angry with him and tells “Can’t you be still?” . That night Rabi dreams of adventure and a mission that requires stillness, in a world where nobody is in a hurry. This is a book about being slow, mindful and the power of being still. Wonderfully weird and very important for today's kids who have grown up on instant gratification - “Oh! To Be Still” offers a kinder gentler view of the world.

From Freud to Zuckerberg and Back

From Freud to Zuckerberg and Back, the first book for adults from Storywell Books, asks parents and policymakers to consider the mental health of children first. For thousands of years, children have managed to grow, survive and achieve what they and their parents wished for without any external influences aside of family, community and other socio-cultural entities. Into this secure world, globalisation, IOT and AI have introduced extraneous and unhealthy elements like video games, meta platforms and mobile phones, creating a misunderstanding of ‘Reality’ for today’s children. This book is a call to return to the traditional outdoors play, listen to real bird calls, experience real seas, sands and sunshine, rain and stop the overuse of electronic gadgets that have zombified youth and led people to behave like computers. Author Malavika Kapur is Visiting Professor at the National Institute of Advanced Studies, IISC campus Bengaluru and specialises in the mental health of children.

God on the Hill

Hoary myths of bygone cultures, unearthing buried memories in silent monuments...It is heady stuff, this business of trying to understand our prehistoric past What makes this book poignant and relevant is the counterpoint to archaeological narratives it posits. Though archaeologists tell us that these megalithic dolmens, menhirs and the like were funerary or commemorative structures, local villagers near the monuments insist that they were the houses of a now-extinct race of dwarves called Moriyas. The stories in this collection are inspired by actual monuments and sites in India. As architect-author Srikumar M Menon went along collecting data about the monuments, he could not help collecting stories too. Srikumar’s stories also draw attention to outdated theories on the development of disciplines such as the ‘history of architecture’. Legislation and barbed wire fencing are grossly inadequate to protect these primitive monuments that our prehistoric ancestors built. We hope that this book will help create awareness of our precious built-heritage and protect these from human greed, depredations and urban encroachments.

Rogues: Elephants, Maneaters and Poachers (1973-2023)

Rogues is a real-life account of the man-animal conflict in some of the country’s better-known forests and the agricultural landscape around such reserved areas, and how perilous the land and laws are for wildlife as well as people. In this autobiographical work, conservationist and angler G Susheel paints glimpses from his fifty years in the jungles of India and his experience of the escalating man-animal conflict. He also provides some insights into how small steps can resolve much of the tension and keep animals and humans safe.
