Kim
Rudyard Kipling's epic rendition of the imperial experience in India is also his greatest long work. Born in India and growing into early manhood, Kim is the son of an Irish soldier born under British Imperial rule in 19th century India. Left in the care of a half-caste woman, Kim is free to explore the back allies and bazaars of Lahore. But when he meets with his father's old regiment he trades his native clothes for European suits and abandons his free wheeling life for the trappings of a secret agent. He wants to play the \"great game' of imperialism. He is also spiritually bound to the lama, an old ascetic priest. As the two men become fired by a quest that takes them across the country, Kim tries to reconcile these opposing impulses. A celebration of their friendship in an often hostile environment, Kim captures at once the opulence of India's exotic landscape and the uneasy presence of the British Raj.

A intracameral combination of tropicamide, phenylephrine and lidocaine in phacoemulsification
Background: Although the benefits of intracameral mydriatics have been established in healthy patients, their safety and efficacy in difficult subjects have yet to be determined. Aim: The aim of the study is to assess the safety and efficacy of topical and intracameral application of a combination of tropicamide, phenylephrine and lidocaine during phacoemulsification surgery. Setting: The study was done at the Department of ophthalmology at the University of Bhavnagar, Gujarat, India. Methods: A total of 50 patients were recruited patients who were operated with phacoemulsification surgery. During the intraoperative period, pupil seize was studied and eventual adverse events have been monitored. Also, comfort reported by patients and surgeons has been investigated. Results: It was observed that the intracameral drug combination did not have any impact on blood pressure, pulse rate as well as did not affect the Intra Ocular Pressure (IOP) dynamics and was successful in maintaining pupil size after its application during surgery. Conclusion: The combination also proved effective as an anaesthetic agent, which was proven by pain score findings, as the patients were comfortable and compliant enough to tolerate cataract surgery. Contribution: The mydriatic and anaesthetic combination is efficient enough used topically and intracamerally to carry out phacoemulsification surgery and has a better safety profile when compared with current practices.

Microvascular free flap reconstruction for head and neck cancer in a resource-constrained environment in rural India
ABSTRACT
Introduction:
Reconstruction with free flaps has significantly changed the outcome of patients with head and neck cancer. Microsurgery is still considered a specialised procedure and is not routinely performed in the resource-constrained environment of certain developing parts of India.
Materials and Methods:
This article focuses on the practice environment in a cancer clinic in rural India. Availability of infrastructure, selection of the case, choice of flap, estimation of cost and complications associated with treatment are evaluated and the merits and demerits of such an approach are discussed.
Results:
We performed 22 cases of free flaps in a six-month period (2008-2009). Majority (17) of the patients had oral cancer. Seven were related to the tongue and eight to the buccal mucosa. Radial forearm free flap (RFF: 9) and anterolateral thigh flap (ALT: 9) were the most commonly used flaps. A fibula flap (1) was done for an anterior mandible defect, whereas a jejunum free flap (1) was done for a laryngopharyngectomy defect. There were six complications with two re-explorations but no loss of flaps.
Conclusion:
Reconstruction with microvascular free flaps is feasible in a resource-constrained setup with motivation and careful planning.

Postcolonial Translation
This outstanding collection brings together eminent contributors (from Britain, the US, Brazil, India and Canada) to examine crucial interconnections between postcolonial theory and translation studies. Examining the relationships between language and power across cultural boundaries, this collection reveals the vital role of translation in redefining the meanings of culture and ethnic identity. The essay topics include:* links between centre and margins in intellectual transfer* shifts in translation practice from colonial to post-colonial societies.* translation and power relations in Indian languages* Brazilian cannibalistic theories in literary transfer.

The Hindi Postcolonial—Categories and Configurations
By tacit Anglophone collusion, all postcolonial discourse is agreed to be written in English, the language of the colonizer, and not in a language of the colonized such as Hindi. Perhaps for that reason, it has had little impact on Hindi whereas it remains an integral part of the US academy, not always in benign manifestations. A notable recent development is the autonomy from the West that Indian writing in English has won with the rise of writers like Chetan Bhagat and Amish Tripathi in terms of local sales and popularity, and also through deploying non-diasporic local themes and words and phrases from Hindi, etc. Nevertheless, Indian writing in English and works of Hindi literature continue to inhabit widely divergent cultural universes even when addressing similar themes with only a rare borderline foray from one into the other, and it remains debatable whether either postcolonial discourse as currently constituted or Hindi literature has anything to gain from the other.
