ZAMINDAR’S BUNGALOW AND OTHER SHORT STORIES
Balance is a concept that is considered a given in spiritual life. Like the two wings of the bird that has to be perfectly balanced in order for it to soar the high skies. In this second collection of short stories, I have consciously sought out the concept of balance. In these tales, dear reader, you will find yourself taking sides and the lines will be drawn, for better or for worse, who is to tell? The fact remains that it will call forth to something within you, an innate sense of right and wrong and accordingly, you will respond. Balance is the point between two opposite forces and is desirable merely because it minimises the negatives of the opposing forces. This second collection of short stories has a much wider canvas than before. They traverse space and time even as they entangle the past and the present. Here, you will meet a space traveller, a moody detective, a gardener, a musician. They are whimsical, they are nostalgic and mostly always conscious of a balance, perchance missing, perchance not.

Temple Dreams
This first collection of poems indicate the poet’s absorbing and sensitive handling of women’s issues; charming in its cohesiveness and fiery in its ideology.

TURN A PHRASE AND FIND A VOICE
This second collection of poetry by Dr. R. J. Kalpana Ph.D is a world where every poem is a mirror, a window, a river flowing between the seen and the unseen. In this richly layered collection, voices rise – of queens and daughters, strangers and storytellers, rivers and rituals, goddesses and gypsies – each verse a quiet ember, each page a luminous echo. From the fragility of memory to the fire of transformation, from forgotten friendships to mystical meditations; this anthology traverses the landscapes of emotion, identity, divinity and belonging. With lyrical grace and piercing insight, it reflects on the sacred in the everyday, the eternal in the fleeting and the magic that hides between spring’s celebration and a kitchen table’s silence.

PEN AND INK
In Pen and Ink, her third collection of poems, Dr. R. J. Kalpana Ph.D gathers the quiet ache and blazing wonder of lived experience into a luminous tapestry of verse. From the haunting tenderness of loss to the fleeting joys of summer afternoons, these poems travel across memory, nature, love, silence and resilience – each word a brushstroke of emotion, each poem a door into the soul. With lyrical precision and deep spiritual undercurrent, Pen and Ink invites you to pause, reflect and listen to the whispers between petals, the thunderstorm in a teacup and the language of the soul.

DANCE OF THE MYSTICS
In this fourth offering, Dr. R. J. Kalpana weaves a tapestry of soul and silence, longing and light. Each poem is a whisper from the beyond, a flame in the dark, a footstep in the inner sky. With the voice of a seeker and the heart of a mystic, she leads us through veils of love, echoes of the Master, and the hush of grace. These verses do not merely speak - they sing, drawing us into the quiet rapture of the spirit's unfolding.

WHEN TOMORROW MEETS YESTERDAY
She inherited a castle and a ghost! Penelope Stuart expected many things from life: overpriced lattes, office drama, maybe even a promotion if her boss ever learned her actual name.

Connor MacLean, dead for three centuries, grumpy for at least four wants Penelope gone yesterday. Penelope, armed with sarcasm, stubbornness, and a questionable flashlight, refuses to budge. Cue bellowing hauntings, flying candlesticks, territorial disputes between the living and the dead, and a castle determined to meddle. As Penelope uncovers the secrets binding Connor to Dunstrath, the impossible begins to feel oddly inevitable. A modern woman, a medieval ghost, one very opinionated castle, what could possibly go wrong? A hilarious, heart-tugging supernatural romance where the past and present refuse to stay in their lanes.

Feminism and Family
offers a sustained feminist examination of the family as one of the most enduring and contested sites of gendered power. Challenging the notion of the family as a private and apolitical space, the book traces the evolution of feminist consciousness through women’s lived experiences of marriage, motherhood, post-motherhood, care, sexuality, silence, and resistance. It
foregrounds how family structures shape, and are shaped by, patriarchal authority,
masculinity, respectability, and emotional labour.
Anchored in the rich tradition of Indian women’s fiction, the book engages with the novels of Indian women writers whose narratives expose the quiet fractures of domestic life and the conflicts between selfhood and social expectation. Through these fictional worlds, Feminism and Family examines how women negotiate language and silence, articulate desire and dissent, and inscribe personal histories into feminist historiography.
The book also turns to the contemporary moment, exploring how social media and artificial intelligence reshape family life, intimacy, caregiving, and surveillance. Digital technologies emerge as double-edged forces expanding feminist visibility and solidarity while simultaneously intensifying control, performance, and data
driven regulation within families.
Interdisciplinary and intersectional in approach, Feminism and Family bridges literary criticism, feminist theory, and cultural analysis to reveal the family as a crucial feminist archive. By weaving together Indian women’s novels with debates on gender, technology, and power, the book offers a compelling rethinking of how feminism continues to unfold within and against the family.

Feminism and the Individual
offers a sustained and incisive exploration of how women’s selfhood is shaped, challenged, and continually reimagined within the intersecting structures of reproduction, career, gender relations, and social life. Moving across the intimate and the political, the book examines how the female individual negotiates expectations of motherhood and reproductive choice alongside professional ambition, economic survival, and the persistent demand to perform care; both within the family and beyond it. Central to this inquiry is the recognition that women’s individuality is never formed in isolation, but emerges through complex negotiations with social norms, cultural narratives, and institutional power.
The book pays particular attention to the often-overlooked domains of friendship and emotional labour, tracing how women’s bonds with one another function as sites of resilience, conflict, and feminist possibility. It also interrogates the role of media; both traditional and digital in shaping ideals of femininity, success, respectability, and desire. In its engagement with social media and artificial intelligence, Feminism and the Individual extends feminist critique into the digital age, revealing how algorithms, visibility, and data economies reshape women’s identities, labour, and political voice while reproducing older hierarchies in new technological forms.
Bringing together feminist theory, cultural analysis, and lived experience, the book argues for a reimagined feminist individualism grounded not in isolation or self-optimisation, but in relational autonomy, ethical selfhood, and collective struggle. At once critical and hopeful, Feminism and the Individual is an essential intervention into contemporary debates on gender, technology, and the conditions of women’s freedom in an increasingly mediated world.

Feminism and Poetry
traces the quiet revolution and the unapologetic defiance embedded in Indian women’s poetry in English since Independence. From its earliest moments, this poetic tradition has been a site where women claimed language as both shelter and weapon, turning personal experience into a mode of feminist inquiry. Kamala Das stands at the forefront, her candid explorations of female desire, marriage, and selfhood breaking long-held silences and unsettling literary decorum with a voice that was insistently intimate and radically honest.
Subsequent poets extend and complicate this feminist awakening. Eunice de Souza’s sharp irony and Imtiaz Dharker’s incisive engagements with religion, patriarchy, and the politics of the veil expose how cultural institutions discipline women’s lives, even as their poems remain rooted in everyday emotional realities.
In the work of diasporic poets such as Sujata Bhatt and Meena Alexander, feminism intersects with questions of language, displacement, memory, and belonging, revealing how exile reshapes female identity and creative expression. Alongside these voices, experimental poets like Suniti Namjoshi deploy myth, fable, and absurdity to lay bare the structures of sexism embedded in both tradition and modernity. Taken together, these poets mark a significant shift—from confessional lament to articulate resistance, from borrowed feminist idioms to frameworks grounded in Indian experience.
By transforming private anguish into public poetry, Indian women poets have expanded the boundaries of both feminist discourse and literary form. Their work affirms poetry as a powerful space where gendered lives are not merely described, but reimagined and reclaimed.
