Why do we worry without cause? Why do we fear without reason? This book is a collection of 365 verses of unadulterated wisdom, providing answers to all our confusions. In the battleground of our life, no one day is the same as the other, each comes with its own set of challenges. We can never be prepared enough to handle all that life throws our way. It would not be unusual for us to feel discouraged, or even panic, just like the Pandava prince Arjun lost his nerve just before the start of the battle of Mahabharata. Fortunately for him, Lord Krishna acted like a psychologist and pulled him out of the depths of his trepidation. It took 700 verses for Krishna to clear up Arjun''s confusions and make him battle-ready. Everyday Gita takes 365 of the most effective of those verses and explains simplistically how to fight the stresses and fears in our daily life and come out a winner. Always.

After class hours, or whenever I was free, I would slip into the library and sit amongst these hundreds of books, reading them, arranging them, cataloguing them or just being with them. Here I made many lifelong friends.'' There are many who as they grow older, long to reach out to their friends from school. And then there are others who are lucky enough to have friends from school as a constant presence in their life. As we grow older and embrace (or at least try to) the myriad aspects of adult life, we often like to look back at our school days and reminisce about ''simpler times''. The bonds we make in school are some of the most cherished relationships of our life, and are often what brings us solace on a hard day. In My School on the Hill, Ruskin Bond brings us a collection of short stories that remind us of the beauty, the excitement, the joy, the confusion and the love we felt as schoolgoing children. From cricket matches in random empty fields, to Boy Scouts adventures, to finding peace in the quiet school library-this book has something for anyone looking for a moment of joy

Laxmikant-Pyarelal's music is played, every hour if not more frequently, in every nook and cranny of the country, over two decades after they stopped composing together. It also finds due place globally, wherever Indian music is loved. Today, Pyarelal has his own global standing, and is the only Indian composer to have a symphony registered in his name. This book encapsulates what can only be called the 'Musical Universe' of Laxmikant-Pyarelal. Here is a duo known as much for incomparable range and quality as for unmatched popularity and quantity; as much for intimate associations with lyricists, singers, filmmakers and stars as for giving career breaks and breakthroughs to so many; as much for chartbusters from the 1960s to 1990s as for leading in the list of re-created songs today. From teenage musicians to being the composers of over 500 films, their journey is truly incredible in every aspect. They are admired by international as well as Indian classical maestros.

Robert E. Svoboda's Vāstu: Breathing Life into Space addresses the classical Indian art (or science) of architectural form, Vāstu, in a wholly unique way. Instead of presenting lists of rules and architectural principles to which builders and interior designers must scrupulously adhere at all times, the work sensitizes the reader to the dynamics of space, alignment, and form in ever-expanding orbits of individual life. The book allows readers and home builders to understand the complex dynamics of individual, terrestrial, and celestial energetic systems leading to the greater synergy between space, nature and the individual.
