The Sterling Bull And Other Tales





The Sterling Bull & Other Tales
The world is an amusement park with its roller coaster rides, giant wheels, house of horrors, thrills and frills. And everyone is a patron who has his or her share of the pie. One may be up one day, down the next; one may slip and fall and rise up. But all said and done, the experiences are uplifting and there are no places for grudges.

With these humour-veined short stories, the writer subtly hints the reader to take all that life offers with a smile while narrating a series of fictional occurrences that may have been unexpected and unpleasant at the time for some. but in the aftermath, the same events are revealed to be the spice that enriches ones existence. The joys of living are available to one and all and one doesn't have to be special to find life rewarding. 

 The Sterling Bull is one such story which is set in the Sterling Road in Chennai. The area where Loyola College is situated. Other famous landmarks which Loyolites would be aware about are Kuttys & Nambys
About Sudarsh Menon

 Sudarsh Menon is an advocate practicing in the Supreme Court of India in New Delhi. A keen sports enthusiast with a wide range of interests, he is a first time writer. These stories that he has written are fictional.

However, small humorous incidents that occurred while he was a student in KV Tambaram, Asan Memorial H.S.S, Chennai, Loyola College, Chennai and his bachelorhood days in New Delhi may have provided the inspiration.

Discovering the Joy of Selling is an inspiring fable written by Achal Rangaswamy- Sales Coach and practitioner of sales and marketing, along with M S Srinivasan- a spiritual thinker.



Based on practical lessons learnt in the market over a span of more than three decades, the book, written in a fictional form, takes the reader through the challenging yet enjoyable and rewarding process of selling to various customers.

Stories of Hope






'Stories of Hope' is a collection of short stories. Each tale narrates the journey of a thin red line of hope that fights through adversity. Right from the heart of Nazi Germany in the thick of the holocaust to the collapse of the regime in Egypt in 2011, from the story of hunger in the core of Africa to the tale of Palestine's recognition as a state, there are stories that celebrate the resilience of the Human Spirit. From stories of a mother turned out of her house by her son, to a mother who loses her newborn, to the young wife who must face a baffling truth, and the little girls who face adversities tied to their identity, these are stories that can be anyone's narrative. Stories of Hope is a celebration of Hope and a celebration of the undying human spirit of resilience.
