Secrets of Success

ISBN:
Category : Self-Help
Languages : en
Pages : 212
Book Description
It is a great privilege to write a preface to my father’s book. I like to share with you how he had shaped me and helped me reach this position today. One evening, some seven years ago, I received a phone call from the Board of Secondary Education informing me that I secured a State Rank in my intermediate examination. Tears of joy rolled down my cheeks. I am sure you would agree with me that it is one of the best moments in any student’s lifetime. Thank s to my father I could accomplish that. Later as we discussed my future plans and career pathways that I should consider after my intermediate, my father suggested me to go for a job with my ‘plus two’ qualification. I was naturally surprised. I remember his words; “…if you concentrate with your senses, studying for three hours a day is enough to come off in flying colours.” I joined as an apprentice in a Chartered Accountancy firm and later in Nagarjuna Power Corporation Ltd as an Industrial Trainee, for a monthly salary of RS. 1,500. Of course it was tough to study and work at the same time, but I enjoyed the challenge. When I left NPC, my salary was around RS. 2,500. In the mean time, using the ‘Art of Studying’ instilled in me by my father I simultaneously completed in the evening college my B.Com (Hons) and Chartered Accountancy. At this juncture, I came across an advertisement by the World Bank Group. I applied and had to face stiff competition from more than 100 candidates, most of them were from some of the prestigious Management Institutes and other Business Schools with considerable work experience. The American executive, who interviewed me, was very much convinced with my bio-data, and I bagged the job and became one of the youngest analysts in the World Bank Group. My posting was at Delhi, and my salary was Rs. 1 lakh per month and I was 23 then. After working for two years, I was fed up with my routine job and wanted greater challenges and varied international exposure. I wanted to study further. When I informed my intentions to my father he readily encouraged me to take the plunge. There is a quotation in one of my father’s novels, “Even if you are a fish, I believe that there is no point in staying in a pond where you don’t like the water”. I resigned my job and left for INSEAD (France), ranked the World’s best non-US Business School to do my M.B.A. with my two years savings, about RS. 15 lakhs. After completion of my post graduation, I joined as a Business planning and Control Executive with ‘Michlin’ at Singapore and worked for 2 years. It’s me who asked my father to write this book to help students whatever be the stream of education they choose. I agree with him that spending millions of rupees on education is a luxury not every one can afford. When a parent is able to invest a simple ten minutes a day and enthuse the child to do better, as a Chartered Accountant I can assure that it would be the best investment one could ever ask for.

Telangana People's Struggle and Its Lessons
Author: Puccalapalli Sundarayya
Publisher: Foundation Books
ISBN: 9788175963160
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 478
Book Description
Sri Putchalapalli Sundarayya (1 May 1913 - 19 May 1985) was a renowned national liberation fighter. He was one of the founders of the Communist Movement in India and an indefatigable fighter for the rights of toiling masses of India. He led the glorious Telangana peasant armed struggle in the 1940s against the despotic rule of Nizam of Hyderabad and liberated many from the shackles of servitude under Vetti. Sundarayya provides a detailed description of the intricacies - both decision-making and the execution of plans by the various guerilla squads. The book provides a ringside view of the movement of squads, the network of communications and the police terror. It highlights the movement, the years in the forests fighting the Nizam's forces and then the Indian army. It provides a wealth of detail and any account of the Telengana struggle is incomplete without reference to this authoritative work.

A Flowering Tree and Other Oral Tales from India
Author: A. K. Ramanujan
Publisher: Univ of California Press
ISBN: 9780520203990
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 292
Book Description
This book of oral tales from the south Indian region of Kannada represents the culmination of a lifetime of research by A. K. Ramanujan, one of the most revered scholars and writers of his time. The result of over three decades' labor, this long-awaited collection makes available for the first time a wealth of folktales from a region that has not yet been adequately represented in world literature. Ramanujan's skill as a translator, his graceful writing style, and his profound love and understanding of the subject enrich the tales that he collected, translated, and interpreted. With a written literature recorded from about 800 A.D., Kannada is rich in mythology, devotional and secular poetry, and more recently novels and plays. Ramanujan, born in Mysore in 1929, had an intimate knowledge of the language. In the 1950s, when working as a college lecturer, he began collecting these tales from everyone he could--servants, aunts, schoolteachers, children, carpenters, tailors. In 1970 he began translating and interpreting the tales, a project that absorbed him for the next three decades. When Ramanujan died in 1993, the translations were complete and he had written notes for about half of the tales. With its unsentimental sympathies, its laughter, and its delightfully vivid sense of detail, the collection stands as a significant and moving monument to Ramanujan's memory as a scholar and writer.

A Shepherd to Fools
Author: Drew Mendelson
Publisher: Xlibris Corporation
ISBN: 1664187812
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 422
Book Description
A Shepherd to Fools is the second of Drew Mendelson’s trilogy of Vietnam War novels that began with Song Ba To and will conclude with Poke the Dragon. Shepherd: It is the ragged end of the Vietnam war. With the debacle of a failing South Vietnamese invasion of Northern Laos as background, A Shepherd to Fools tells the harrowing tale of a covert Hatchet Team of US soldiers and Montagnard mercenaries. They are ordered to find and capture or kill a band of American deserters, called Longshadows, before the world learns of their paralyzing rebellion. An earlier attempt to capture them failed disastrously, the facts of it buried. Captain Hugh Englander commands the Hatchet Team. He is a humorless bastard, sneering and discourteous to every regular army soldier. He cares little for the welfare of his own men and nothing for the lives of the deserters. The conflict between him and Captain David Weisman, the artillery officer assigned to the mission for artillery support, threatens to tear the team apart. Deep in the Laotian jungle, the team is caught in a final, horrific battle facing an enemy armed with Sarin nerve gas, the “worst of the worst” of the war’s clandestine weapons.
