edit data

Anshul Chaturvedi has been writing and editing to earn a living as a journalist for some 25 years, of which the last 21 have been with the Times Of India.

Apart from what the job needs him to scrutinize, he reads a lot about WW2, managerial theory, the philosophy of Vivekananda and Ramakrishna and the life of Subhas Bose.

He has so far authored four books:

The first was Uncut, a collection of his interviews with the Three Khans of Hindi cinema.

The second moved away from his journalistic work and came from years of observing why stress trips young professionals with increasing frequency: Work Sucks? Or Do You?

The third was a longer project: A book that looks to bring Vivekananda from the zone of reverence to one of relevance. He began readi Anshul Chaturvedi has been writing and editing to earn a living as a journalist for some 25 years, of which the last 21 have been with the Times Of India.

He has so far authored four books:

The second moved away from his journalistic work and came from years of observing why stress trips young professionals with increasing frequency: Work Sucks? Or Do You?

The third was a longer project: A book that looks to bring Vivekananda from the zone of reverence to one of relevance. He began reading about Vivekananda when he was 16, began writing about him in his 30s, and now, in his 40s, after about a decade of thought and effort, he finally has a book in place: The Vivekananda Handbook For Everyday Living. It is not a 'religious' book but a philosophical one, one that addresses our everyday challenges and not the mysteries of the universe. The author describes Vivekananda as the Dale Carnegie of his youth and the Steven Covey of his career, rolled in one, and then much more.

The fourth book is a piece of historical fiction set in 1942/43, as WW 2 rages and a restless Subhas Bose is in Berlin, building the core of his first Indian Army, comprising of Indian POWs being trained in Germany. In an alternate reality, Stalingrad has fallen to the Axis powers after a bitter, brutal campaign; in North Africa, Field Marshal Rommel’s Afrika Korps has emerged victorious; Rangoon has been seized by the Japanese after their capture of Singapore. Does this give Bose's army the opportunity to march towards's India's western borders? How does he manage the million contradictions and challenges of his situation, and the personalities of that era, from Adolf Hitler to Mahatma Gandhi? Even if possible, can a military defeat of the British ensure an undivided India amidst the murmurs of an impending partition? And will the militaristic Axis powers leave India be if they have landed here? ...more

Anshul Chaturvedi and 3 other people liked Akash Datta's review of The Vivekananda Handbook for Everyday Living: "This one is a very under-rated self-help book as there are very few great mentors and advise giver like Vishwamanav Swami Vivekananda himself!
