Told from a dog’s perspective, Sudha Murty’s Gopi stories have for long regaled young readers. This volume brings together a selection of these. There is ‘Coming Home’, where Gopi is adopted by a loving family. In ‘Finding Love’, Gopi is stronger, more confident than the little pup he was. In ‘Growing Up’, he has new adventures and in ‘Gopi’s Day Out’, he navigates life on the streets as he gets lost one day!

Every Last Girl by Safeena Husain. HarperCollins. Pages 247. Rs 499

While India is rapidly changing and growing, there are still corners of the country where girls’ education remains a challenge. This book takes you to those corners, tracing the journey of Educate Girls that has helped 20 lakh girls return to learning in the last two decades. In 2025, the organisation won the Ramon Magsaysay Award.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
