3 novellas, 2 authors, 1 book India 24 - Mundane tales, cliche, acute events and ordinary lives from around India intersect over a period of 24 hours to form a unique montage which provides insight into the irony of power play, corruption and mutual exploitation in contemporary India. Individuals from different social and economic strata, with varied motivations, occupations and preoccupations struggle frantically to strike balance in their lives inter-weaved with each other through webbing of love, sex, jealousy, fantasy, deceit, conceit and violence in an indifferent uninspiring world in utmost need of a hero but without any. 3 on a Bed - 3 people - one woman and two men share a bed to celebrate friendship that ensues the most democratic and secular form of being where the 'one true love' can be shared in the most selfless way through the union of minds and bodies together in our very real, mundane and pragmatic world. Can the 'polyamoric' lifestyle of the ménage-de-trios help them overcome all such issues of jealousy, possessiveness and sexual hegemony that lies hidden in every conjugal relationship through their feelings of empathy and compassion or does their relationship go the well beaten way of people shredding themselves to pieces over power, position and possession? 1 Day for Love - Through the evaluation of her personal paranoia associated with Holi, the festival of colors - a day for free mixing of the sexes and free expression of love, and its evolution over a period of three decades a young woman takes a look at the changing dynamics of gender politics and social discrimination culminating in an all encompassing erosion of social bonding and an innate growth of indifference, all centering around this day reflecting and refracting through the many loves of her life.

Make Your Bed
Author: Admiral William H. McRaven
Publisher: Grand Central Publishing
ISBN: 1455570230
Category : Self-Help
Languages : en
Pages : 144
Book Description
Based on a Navy SEAL's inspiring graduation speech, this #1 New York Times bestseller of powerful life lessons "should be read by every leader in America" (Wall Street Journal). If you want to change the world, start off by making your bed. On May 17, 2014, Admiral William H. McRaven addressed the graduating class of the University of Texas at Austin on their Commencement day. Taking inspiration from the university's slogan, "What starts here changes the world," he shared the ten principles he learned during Navy Seal training that helped him overcome challenges not only in his training and long Naval career, but also throughout his life; and he explained how anyone can use these basic lessons to change themselves-and the world-for the better. Admiral McRaven's original speech went viral with over 10 million views. Building on the core tenets laid out in his speech, McRaven now recounts tales from his own life and from those of people he encountered during his military service who dealt with hardship and made tough decisions with determination, compassion, honor, and courage. Told with great humility and optimism, this timeless book provides simple wisdom, practical advice, and words of encouragement that will inspire readers to achieve more, even in life's darkest moments. "Powerful." --USA Today "Full of captivating personal anecdotes from inside the national security vault." --Washington Post "Superb, smart, and succinct." --Forbes
