Ever since Sir W Jones translated Kalidasa's Shakuntalam into English (1789), many scholars from the West have shown interest in Indian Sanskrit literature. By 1847, 607 works had been translated. Among them, the Gita is one of the most translated works. The Gita and Bhagavatam are the essence of the Vedas, the ancient Indian texts of knowledge. While the 700-sloka Gita is written as a discourse to someone who was finding difficulty to choose between his duty and obligation, the currently available 14094-verse long Bhagavatam is a discourse given to a king who was expecting death suddenly in the next seven days. Translations of the Bhagavatam are not widely available as much as the Gita. This book is written, keeping in mind those who do not look for a religious or literary piece but a useful book that offers a glimpse of ancient Indian wisdom on blending harmoniously personal ethics, politics and morality in life. Bhagavatam, composed in the ancient Sanskrit language probably before CE and contains wisdom of sages and scholars presented in the ancient art of storytelling. This book, divided into two parts, condenses the ancient Indian scripture into eighty invaluable stories along with explanatory notes and a glossary at the end.

The Dews of Wonderland is a collection of poems about experiences and emotions. Generally, poems are the intense experiences of human lives, and it is essential to write and study poetry in order to record and know the history of humanity. The experience of a man is not his complete personal; instead, it's the most common living condition of the whole of mankind. Thus, sharing an individual's experiences of his critical times with his inner as well as outer worlds and the emotions they evoke are inevitably important. Every poem in this collection carries different experiences and emotions, sometimes as a drop of dew and sometimes as a drop of tear. There is always a need to know and understand both experiences. The poems in this collection strongly deal with dilemmatic human psychology; emotional and psychological traumas; the conflict between fantasy and reality; and most notably, dreams. Also, they provide a critical outlook on society and human behaviour in general.

The Moon Is Calling: Read the Stars!This is a story of a cursed land called Zynpagua. Not many years ago, Zynpagua was a part of the Earth. It was ruled by King Soto and Queen Sussaina. The queen possessed supernatural powers, which she used to bring happiness and prosperity to her people. Zynpagua thus was a very happy land. But an evil eye was watching it. It was the eye of the scientist Drudan. He tricked the king and the queen to ignore their kingdom. This angered the Sun and Stars, and they refused to shower their blessing on Zynpagua. In the meantime, Drudan created a fatal violet light to kill King Soto. The violet light generated catastrophic movements that separated Zynpagua from the Earth, carrying with it all the people on the land. Without the support of the Sun, Zynpagua became a dark planet. Drudan imprisoned Queen Sussaina behind the shadow of the moon, while King Soto could not be traced. Zynpagua became a cursed land. While in prison, Queen Sussaina secretly gives birth to a girl and transfers all her powers to her and sends her to the Earth. Now the only solution to Zynpaguas misery is the return of this princess.

You do not just snap your fingers one day and become the butterfly. It takes time, patience and self-growth. This book is a journey, a mosaic made from little fragments of my heart and soul, pieces of my intentions, hopes and dreams. It's been divided into four sections; The Caterpillar, The Cocoon, Metamorphosis and The Butterfly. I've filled each one up with pieces of poetry, tales from my own life and stories that have reached me through word of mouth, recollections of days that have felt like storms and others that have felt like summer. Rants and ramblings of my perceptions of the world, facts and truths of (my) life, and letters of all the things I want to say - cryptically addressed to all the people I want to say them to. For quite a while, this book has held me. And now, it is yours to make your own. I hope that somewhere in between these pages, you feel less alone. And I hope you become the most beautiful butterfly.

Utilitarian Liberation & Common EndO you who believe [in Natural Science]! Stand out firmly for justice, as witnesses to Allah, even as against yourselves, or your parents, or your kin, and whether it (the case be of) a rich man or a poor man, for Allah is nearer to both (than you are). So follow not the lusts [of your hearts], lest you swerve, and if you distort [Created & Manifested Truth] or decline to do justice [with our Fundamental Rights], verily Allah is well-informed of all that you do. [Sura (3) - Aatun-Nisaaa-a - Verse - 135] "e;Laa yukalli-ful laahu nafsan illa wus-ahaa. Lahaa maa kasabat w-alay-haa mak-tasabat. Rabbanaa laa tu-aa-khiznaaa in-nasiinaaa aw akhta-naa. Rabbanaa wa laa tahmil alay-naaa is-ran-kamaa hamal tahuu alal-laziina min-qab-linaa. Rabbanaa wa laa tuhammil-naa maa laa taaqata lanaa bih. Wa fu-annaa, wag-fir lanaa, war-ham-naa. Anta Mawlaanaa fan-surnaa alal-qaw-mil-Kaafi-riin"e; - On no soul Allah places a burden greater than it can bear. It gets every good that it earns, and it suffers every ill that it earns. [Pray:] Our Rab! Condemn us not if we forget or miss the mark! Our Rab! Lay not on us a burden like that which You did lay on those before us. Our Rab! Lay not on us a burden greater than we have strength to bear. Blot out our sins, and grant us forgiveness. Have mercy on us. You are our Protector. Grant us victory over the disbelieving folk [disbelievers of Equal & Opposite Apriori Framework of Natural Science and Un-contradicted Facts of this Manifested Nature]. [Sura (1) - An-tazbahuu Baqarah - Verse - 286]

"e;.........This is some sort of a photo-feature, Subhash presentsbefore us in a strikingly different poetic genre ..He comes forth with this excellent breed where the picturescombine with the words in all elegance; very often the picturesholding an unmistakable edge over words.. .

The MRD (c) Concept combines all functions and their expertise directly concerned with use of materials resources in an organization to focus on the prudent design and optimum use of materials resources and also look at the use, reuse, and environmental friendly disposal of any resultant waste. It is obvious then that the organization will save cost and enhance profit, as well as sustain the limited material resources on earth. This concept directly eliminates the cross-functional supply-chain management teams in the organization and integrates them into a cohesive, seamless process, resulting in higher productivity and taking the organization toward overall business management efficiency and excellence. Just as an army general strategizes and deploys his limited resources to optimal use in case of a war, this book suggests a similar attitude and focus toward the material resources deployment of the organization, which is about 70 percent in value in a product and 100 percent in the plant! If you talk of competition, business is a daily war!

A favorite pastime of grandparents is to narrate stories to their grandchildren. A group of tales is invariably about the antics of their own children as babies or kids. What seemed irksome thirty or forty years ago is now amusing and entertaining. My kids' grandmother (my mother) was no exception. Many a times she narrated tales of Mala to my kids Rasika aged 10 and Harshad aged 7. The children enjoyed the stories. Imagine their surprise when they found out that this Mala was no figment of imagination but a real kiddo and none other but their mother! This made the stories more exciting. And what are tales that don't come with a moral, especially when a part is for the elders? This makes them more endearing to the kids. These are some (printable) stories of Mala's antics, some done knowingly, some unknowingly but innocently. Today after hearing them Mala comments on the incidents with humour, wry humour, or sometimes matter-of-factly or even sheepishly. The stories are not only for kids, but also for their parents, grandparents & also parents-to-be. These stories are fun but not just fun
