India is a huge country. But it is not apparent to many of its populace. Mercator projection is to blame when we glance at the maps, but other omissions also abound. From the scorching desert of Thar to the bustling metropolis of Mumbai, from the heavy tint greens of Bengal, to the red soil topography of Tamil Nadu, India is a land of interesting differences. To the trained eye, however,this is all but a molecule on the surface of the Indian ocean.

A classic of modern travel writing, An Area of Darkness is Nobel Laureate V. S.

Traveling from the bureaucratic morass of Bombay to the ethereal beauty of Kashmir, from a sacred ice cave in the Himalayas to an abandoned temple near Madras, Naipaul encounters a dizzying cross-section of humanity: browbeaten government workers and imperious servants, a suavely self-serving holy man, and a deluded American religious seeker.

India is in transition. Since the publication of Culture Smart's first guide to India in 2003, the nation has been transformed from a developing third-world country into the world's fastest growing economy. This completely new and up-to-date volume by American author Becky Stephen is unrivalled.

The modern world is increasingly becoming an urban world. Although lush with ever-increasing avenues of creative expression, the urban world is getting increasingly homogenized. It is very hard, for example, to guess which country a supermarket is from. This brings monotony and people want freedom in the old lap of nature, as the trends in newly industrialized countries show. After all, a luxury house or a yatch can cost millions of dollars, but we can venture a guess that it is absolutely incomparable to the air, water and skies the nature has to offer. Here we take a look in this regard ...

A chronicle of life on the resplendent island.
