Aarogyache 3 Varadaan (आरोग्याचे ३ वरदान )
आजच्या आपल्या जीवनशैलीमध्ये कमीत कमी कष्टात आणि वेळात, कोणतेही प्रयत्न न करता जास्तीत जास्त सुखसुविधा मिळवण्याकडे आपला कल वाढीस लागलेला आहे. मनुष्याला योग, नैसर्गिक चिकित्सा (बी.एफ.टी., ई.एफ.टी.) स्वमूत्र चिकित्सा (यु.एफ.टी.) यासारख्या उपचार पद्धती कठीण वाटतात. त्यामुळे अगदी शेवटचा पर्याय म्हणून याकडे पाहिले जाते. पण या गोष्टींना सर्वप्रथम प्राधान्य दिले पाहिजे. नव्या युगातील बेजबाबदार विचारपद्धतीमुळे मनुष्याने स्वतःच्या शरीराचे म्हणणे ऐकणे बंद केलेले आहे. आपल्या शरीराचे संकेत समजू न शकल्यामुळे त्याला या सगळ्या चिकित्सा अनैसर्गिक आणि विचित्र वाटतात. निसर्गाकडून ज्या गोष्टी अगदी सहज मिळतात, लोकांच्या दृष्टीने त्या गोष्टींना कमी महत्त्व असते. पण दुर्मिळ गोष्टींचे महत्त्व सातत्याने वाढत जाते. यू.एफ.टी. (स्वमूळ चिकित्सा), बी.एफ.टी. आणि ई.एफ.टी. या अत्यंत साध्या आणि सरळ पद्धती आहेत. त्यांच्या उपयोगासाठी आपल्याला दुसर्यांवर अवलंबून राहण्याची गरज नाही.

Arabian Nights ....
Arabian Nights (Collins Classics), originally called One Thousand and One Nights, is a wonderful collection of folktales that have their origins in ancient Persia, India and Arabian countries.

Perhaps the most popular translation is by Sir Richard Burton, which was initially released in a ten volume set.Arabian Nights (Collins Classics) has over thirty chapters, some of which contain more than one story. A few of the stories in the book are The Lady and Her Five Suitors, The Foolish Dominie, The Tale of The Simpleton Husband and The Lovers of Bassorah. The tales are filled with elements of love, comedy, tragedy and history.Arabian Nights (Collins Classics) also contains a list of phrases and words of classic literature. A few examples of such terms include bagatelle, ague and ambuscade. The definitions have been adapted from the Collins English Dictionary. There is also a section titled Life and Times and it provides an insight into the life of the author and the time of publication. This Collins Classics edition, published by Harper Press in 2011, is available in paperback. Key Features: Arabian Nights, Sir Richard Burton's version, was adapted into a television mini series by ABC Studios and BBC in 2000.

Fairy Tales Of Hans Christian Andersen
"The Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen" is a magnificent collection of 40 of his most magical works, including "The Little Mermaid", "The Princess and the Pea", "The Tinderbox" as well as lesser-known delights such as "The Shepherdess and The Chimney Sweep", "The Teapot and The Goblin at the Grocer's". Unlike many other dull and stilted translations, this collection of Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tales captures the freshness and sparkle of Andersen's original Danish text. Beautifully illustrated with exquisite watercolours and edged and picked out in sumptuous gold, the "Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen" is a book for both young and old to treasure and the perfect gift for children. The "Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen" begins with an introduction that sets Andersen in the context of earlier and contemporary storytellers and those he has influenced, such as J. K. Rowling. This biographical introduction provides a fascinating account of 'the fairytale of my life' as Andersen described it, backed up with photographs and Andersen's own artworks. The publication date of the "Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen" is set to coincide with the 200th anniversary of Andersen's birth.
