Loosely based and reminiscent of my own schooldays in Ispat English Medium School, Sector-20, Rourkela (Referred to as the Public School in the book), 'The Next Door Raghu' is the story of the extraordinary feats of a very ordinary, reticent, and apparently dull child, by the name of Raghu. Raghu has a lower middle class parental background and is frowned upon by the society as a dimwit who is not going to be of any consequence in his life. The little child and his perceived as unfortunate parents, are often the butt of jokes and snide remarks by an acerbic and sadistic society that has almost written off the disingenuous child. Raghu also starts to believe in his detractors and thinks that he really is inferior and substandard. But, Raghu tries to underplay and overcome all his shortcomings by latching onto children, who he feels can make up for his lacunae. As life goes on for the unassuming, but wily and scheming little child, he discovers a few gifts from God that he is blessed with, that sets him apart from the rest of the world. Although still humble and unassuming, the little child uses his special gifts to save the lives and the property of the people of his town, namely Rourkela in Odisha, India, on two occasions, thereby catapulting the once ugly duckling of the town into superstardom. Raghu becomes a national and international celebrity, much to the joy of his supporters, and much to the chagrin of his detractors and doubters. The rollicking adventure story of the little child and his band of faithful and intrepid friends, is very intriguing, inspirational, entertaining, and also tremendously funny and hilarious, and should appeal to people of all age groups. It should be a treat for children, and also adults interested in some wholesome and entertaining literature.

Kamayakshipuram, the novel, is an erotic horror story with many an unexpected twist and has a stupefying and mind boggling climax. It contains Adult Material in consonance with its sinister and dark theme. Based on a real nightmare, the book is a stupefying tale of carnal occult, satanic rituals, witchcraft, erotica and spine-chilling horror interspersed with hilarious situations and rib-tickling humor. Prakash, the protagonist is forcibly sent into a harrowing pilgrimage to the temple of a Satanic Cult, in her pursuit of elusive motherhood. The pilgrimage turns into a nightmare of occult, satanic blood rites, and erotic rituals for the unsuspecting, but young and libidinous Prakash. The protagonist is buffeted from one blood-chilling episode to another, and he is totally powerless against the onslaught by an unseen and unstoppable power that appears to be hell-bent to push him deeper and deeper into a nightmarish and hellish death trap, with every step that he takes and every move that he makes. But strangely enough, he is finally rescued from the jaws of a gruesome death by his own unbridled libido. Read on to find out how?

"THE MOLECULAR SLAVES" is a work of fiction and is a philosophical satire. It is a quizzical look at life and existence and a philosophical satire WITH A FEW UNEXPECTED AND HILARIOUSLY FUNNY CONCLUSIONS AND INFERENCESIt is a laugh riot most of the way except in the end when it becomes philosophical and spiritual. It is the fourth book by Mr Biju Vasudevan, the other three being the spiritual suspense action thriller "The Contract" and also two compendiums of traditional poetry namely "A Baby, A Man And Some Times And Other Random Thoughts" and "The One That Got Away And Other Random Thoughts"
