WHEN THE PROVINCIAL ELECTIONS WERE HELD IN THE WINTER OF 1937 IN INDIA, THE MUSLIM LEAGUE FARED BADLY IN ALL MUSLIM AREAS.

All of a sudden, he got up in the middle of the night as he heard some prominent sound as if some glass broke somewhere. He searched the room to find the origin of the sound. When he realised that the sound was of the door bolt, he was shocked. He remembered that he had bolted the door securely but now the bolt had come off automatically. The door started opening slowly, again automatically. Jagannath was confined to the place where he was, there was a very old man standing at the door. He was totally bald, not even a single hair on his abnormally long head. His face was over wrinkled. The high cheek bones were very prominent. His body resembled a skeleton. But his eyes, they were sparkling as if like fire. The old man looked intently at Jagannath. Jagannath screamed loudly, but to his surprise no voice came out. The old man gestured him to follow him. Jagannath started walking. He did not want to but he had lost all control over his will power. He wanted to gather all his strength, he wanted to run away, but his legs were not obeying his mind. Where were the two leading? Ratnakar Matkari takes his readers to a novel place, totally different from the usual sights; he takes them to an unknown destination; to a fearsome, mystic, anonymous land. The readers are equally thrilled. They keep on reading page after page hauntingly.The stories here will surely hypnotize the young readers.

In this interracial lesbian love story, Ira and Sade tried to provide a sanctuary for people like them - people who, due to life, had to realize the difference between the family you're borne into and the family you choose. Ira, a Korean who moved to the Philippines to study English, discovered what this meant when her family cut her out of their lives after a viral video on social media revealed she's a lesbian. Sade, a Filipina college student, found out what choosing your own family means when she had to leave her own home as she constantly witnessed how her mother suffered from her father's misogyny. The two then built the Purple House, which opened its doors to people like them who were shunned by their own family too for a variety of reasons - political differences, lack of support, among others. As they protect and take care of their new home, feelings start to develop between the two of them - but Ira would rather not take the risk, as the Purple House may see its doors shut close if feelings get in the way. Sade, on the other hand, wants to give it a try. Will this difference in approaching this thing called love strengthen the Purple House, or will it just destroy it?
