A Little Mayhem
According to official records, a girl is raped in India every twenty-two minutes. Unofficial estimates put it at more like one every five minutes. That was just a statistic to me. Until they raped and killed my little sister. The police dont want to pursue the case the media blame her and the men who killed her walk free. Its time men like them learn that they can no longer get away with it. Its time they learn the meaning of fear. Its time they learn that a woman need not just beg and plead for her dignity she can fight and kill for it.I am just an ordinary woman but sometimes all it takes to get the ball rolling is for one person to create a little mayhem.

Brotherhood : Dharma, Destiny and the American Dre
In Brotherhood, Deepak and Sanjiv Chopra reveal the story of their personal struggle and triumphs as doctors, immigrants and brothers. They were born in the ferment of liberated India after 1947, as an age old culture was reinventing its future. For the young, this meant looking to the West. The Chopra brothers were among the most eager and ambitious of the new generation. In the 1970s, they each emigrated to the United States to make a new life. Both faced tough obstacles: while Deepak encountered resistance from Western trained doctors over what he called the mind-body connection, Sanjiv struggled to reconcile the beliefs of his birthplace with those of his new home. Eventually, each brother became convinced that America was the right place to build a life and the Chopras went on to great achievements - Deepak as a global spiritual teacher and best selling author, Sanjiv as a world renowned medical expert and professor at Harvard Medical School. Brotherhood will fascinate and inspire those who still believe in Americas capacity to foster achievements and reward hard work.

Myth = Mithya: A Handbook of Hindu Mythology
Hinduism can be a puzzle or even an enigma to the uninitiated. There are so many different beliefs, so many rituals and so many myths and legends, it can be hard to follow. Myth = Mithya: A Handbook Of Hindu Mythology is an attempt by the author to shed light on this seeming tangle, to show the deeper meanings of the different stories. He explains about the Hindu Trinity and their Divine Consorts. He also goes into the puzzle of why Hindus believe in one Supreme Reality and yet claim the existence of 330 million Gods. The book explains concepts like the Pitr, Jiva, and about the Devas and the Asuras. He explains the significance of various rituals. He discusses how the warrior-like Kali and the benign Gauri are different forms of the same Goddess. He also compares the roles and the powers of the Trinity, Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva. He goes into the idea behind the various avatars or incarnations of the Preserver, Vishnu. He examines why the Rama and Krishna avatars have assumed such significance. Myth = Mithya: A Handbook Of Hindu Mythology also compares the two major epics, The Ramayana and The Mahabharata. It analyzes why the two avatars in the epics, Rama and Krishna, were so different. It shows that the age that these epics were set in demanded different perspectives to handle similar situations. This book is not a continuous narrative, it does not read like a novel. Instead, it is a source of reference for those who want to gain a deeper understanding of the stories and rituals and symbols that permeate the Hindu faith. The book is not aimed just at those who are non-Hindus. Even those who have been brought up in the Hindu faith can gain some deeper insights into their customs and beliefs through this book. Myth = Mithya: A Handbook Of Hindu Mythology also includes illustrations which are drawn by the author.

Conversations With God Book 3
The Conversations With God series came to be written as a result of the author’s experiences in trying to communicate with God during a low point in his life. When Neale Donald Walsch decided to write an angry letter to God about why his life wasn’t working out, he did not expect God to give him a response. After he wrote down the questions, he heard a voice coming from over his right shoulder that asked him if he really wanted the answer to all these questions or if he was just venting. Walsch turned around but he could not find anyone. He then began writing down the answers to his questions, which had by then started filling his mind. These writings formed the basis of the Conversations With God books that contain life changing answers that are sure to change the readers as well as the way they view other beings. As with the other books in the series, Conversations With God Book Three is written in the form of a dialogue between Walsch and God, in which he questions God about various things related to life and God answers him. The third serving of this series takes readers deeper in the powerful and inspirational dialogue as they enter into an adventurous exploration of life, gain a better understanding of the universe, and also develop a fuller personal relationship with God. Conversations With God Book Three moves from personal issues to universal truths which are applicable to all levels of existence, from the microscopic perspective of life to the macrocosmic vision. Some of the questions that this book explores include the profound questions of our time such as what happens when we die, what is time, and whether we are alone in the universe.
