Kesra Ram, an award winning and influential story writer, uses brilliant satire to expose, contrast, and criticize the beliefs and behaviors of people living in Haryana’s complex and rapidly changing economic, political, and social reality. He deftly tackles the controversial subject of gender selection and preference for boys, and the varying degrees of conscious decision making by the characters involved. He demolishes the myth that only the poor abort female fetuses. The title of the story Beti Ka Baap (Father of a Girl), is both a belittling and taunting expression in the local vernacular for a man with only a daughter. Two couples are contrasted in their attitudes towards centuries old traditions. Dr. Amit wants his wife, Professor Manju, a college lecturer, to bear him a son. But Dr. Ranbir Malik is happy distributing sweets even on the birth of his third daughter. About the author Kesra Ram is an acclaimed Haryana-based Punjabi short story writer and translator known for realistic depictions of socio-economic issues, particularly in rural settings.

The 1984 Sikh Massacre

From October 31 to November 4, 1984, thousands of Sikhs were hunted and murdered by government-orchestrated mobs throughout India in a campaign of genocidal violence following the assassination of Prime Minister Indira Gandhi. While the majority of the mass killings were concentrated in Delhi, violence also erupted in other Indian cities such as Kanpur, Bokaro, and several parts of Haryana and Bihar.

In Ajeet Cour words, "November 1st, the bloodshed began. It was a narsaṃhār—a massacre. But this was no ordinary massacre. I had never seen anything like it. The ones doing the killing weren’t just committing acts of violence; they were laughing, singing, and dancing as they watched the bodies writhe in agony, like fish struggling out of water. It was the first time in my life I had witnessed such an inhumane spectacle."

Unfortunately, the Indian government continues to deny appropriate justice to the victims and survivors of the massacres.

In this audiobook, Ajeet Cour talks about her experiences as a Sikh woman in Delhi during the killings in 1984.

"The Three Hermits" is a short story by Russian author Leo Tolstoy written in 1885 and first published in 1886 in the weekly periodical Niva. It appeared in the short-story collection Twenty-Three Tales which was first translated into English for an edition released by Funk & Wagnalls in 1907.

The title refers to its three central characters; unnamed simple monks living on a remote island in a life of prayer and contemplation "for the salvation of their souls."
