'Cooper Goes To Paris' is the story of a dog's transition from anxiety and resistance to happiness and openness – and his milestone experiences along the way.Cooper loves his suburban life and when told of the move to Paris, is determined to hate it. He has several anxious, sad and angry moments through the move. But he soon discovers that there are many things to like about his new city, that he can make friends with just a little bit of effort, and that he is just as happy in Paris as he was in NJ.The book shows 3-6 year olds that change and ‘newness’ are not to be feared. It also introduces the concepts of ‘other places, other people’ to the very young. Finally, it teaches them a little bit about Paris, France. It does all this through the real life experiences of my dog Cooper, when we moved from suburban NJ, USA to downtown Paris, France a few years ago.

A romance about modern lives as lived in India's tech capital and city of youth, Bangalore. He opened his mouth to say something, then seemed to think the better of it. Their eyes met in the rear-view mirror and Aditi raised her well-shaped eyebrows in query. 'I prefer start-ups,' he said flatly. Aditi Pillai is an entrepreneur-part-owner of the Snack Team, a food start-up. Sitting in her shared cab one day, in Bangalore's gridlocked traffic, she suddenly notices that her cab driver is extraordinarily good-looking. Turns out he is Aditya Shenoy, owner of cab aggregator start-up Caboyea. And so starts a whirlwind romance between Aditi and Aditya. While she negotiates deadlines, irate clients and tries to have a fun time of it, he battles big-name competitors and driver integrity, all the while trying to get out of the long shadow cast by his flamboyant-and notorious-tycoon father. But as their romance gets more and more serious, they need to start talking about the big C word-commitment. Will this Bangalore start-up affair take off and take wings, or will it crash and burn? Weaving its way through the lanes and bylanes of Bangalore, India's start-up capital, Our Start-up Affair is a funny, hip, romantic story that will warm every reader's heart.
