A flourishing career, a passionate love affair and a lasting friendship come in the way of an unforgiving disaster. What ensues is a desperate attempt to hold onto the pieces that are falling apart. The pandemic not just ravaged the lives of millions of people but also bolstered the feelings of love, friendship and brotherhood in its wake. When the world was collapsing under COVID-19, a group of youngsters was busy salvaging humanity. While the Delhiites were adrift on the second wave, the heroic efforts of Rahul, a small-town boy, and Aditi, a gorgeous, affluent and qualified doctor with a benevolent heart, together with the support of the district administration’s office proved that not all heroes wear capes. But are these heroes ready to pay the price for providing succour to others? Will they be magnanimous enough to let go of their own dreams, aspirations and even their life as they devote their time and resources to provide relief to strangers? Will their love tide over the unforgiving disaster that has gripped the world?

"दौड़कर उसने कृष्ण के पाँव से तीर खींचने के लिए हाथ बढ़ाया । कृष्ण उसकी व्यग्रता को निमिष- भर ताकते रहे, फिर निषेध में दाहिना हाथ उठाया । जरा ठिठक गया- '' क्यों, नाथ, क्यों?'' '' रहने दो, भाई! माता गांधारी के वचन में व्यवधान बनने का व्यर्थ प्रयत्‍न मत करो!'' बड़ी धीरता से वे बोले । '' मैंने महापातक किया है! मुझे क्षमा करो, नाथ! मैंने.. .मैंने आपको जंगली प्राणी समझकर आप पर तीर चलाया । यह मैंने क्या किया, नाथ!'' जरा भूमि पर लोटकर करुण क्रंदन करने लगा । '' उठो वत्स!'' करुणार्द्र स्वर में कृष्ण बोले, '' तुम्हारा नाम क्या है?'' '' मेरा नाम ?. .जरा ! '' '' जरा !. .ठीक!'' कृष्ण का मधुर हास्य छलका । तलवे से बहकर रक्‍तधारा भूमि पर काफी दूर चली गई थी । '' जरा, तुम्हारा नाम सार्थक है, तात ! ' जरा ' कभी किसीको नहीं छोड़ती ! अमरत्व के अभिशाप ने जिसे घेरा हो, उसे भी महाकाल जरा समेट ही लेता है न! जरा, तू तो निमित्त मात्र है, वत्स!'' - इसी उपन्यास से कोई भी भारतीय भाषा ऐसी नहीं है जिसमें श्रीकृष्ण को केंद्र में रखकर काव्य, कहानी, उपन्यास. नाटक, संदर्भ-ग्रंथ आदि साहित्य का सर्जन न किया गया हो । ' श्याम, फिर एक बार तुम मिल जाते ' (मूल गुजराती में लिखा) उपन्यास इन सबसे अनूठा इसलिए है कि यह सिर्फ उपन्यास नहीं है-यह तो उपनिषद् है! यथार्थ कहा जाए तो यह उपनिषदीय उपन्यास है । तत्कालीन आर्यावर्त्त में श्रीकृष्ण एक विराट‍् व्यक्‍त‌ित्व था । जब यह व्यक्‍त‌ित्व अनंत में विलीन हो गया तो जो सन्नाटा छा गया, उस सन्नाटे के चीत्कार का यह आलेखन है जब श्रीकृष्ण सम्मुख थे तब बात और थी जब वे विलीन हो गए तब वसुदेव-देवकी से लेकर अर्जुन, द्रौपदी, अश्‍वत्थामा, अक्रूर उद्धव और राधा पर्यंत पात्रों की संभ्रमिद मनोदशा को एक अनूठी ऊँचाई के ऊपर ले जाता है यह उपन्यास । "

Life is Beautiful. Mistakes are a part of the dues one makes for a full life. Learn from your mistakes and the mistakes of others. Forgiveness is an attribute of happiness. Extending hands to help others brings better understanding in us to enable us to transform our lives for the better.

The biggest fall in human-values and human-civilization happened when the value of worshipping nature was replaced by the value of ‘exploiting’ the nature and its resources. This has led to an imbalance among various forces of nature. Our planet is on the verge of a catastrophe. Global warming is on the rise. Our air, water and land are polluted on an unprecedented level. Our forest-cover is fast depleting. Human being is fast destroying forests for his own needs and greed! If a human has destroyed forests, can he replenish the lost forest cover too? Can a forest be ‘developed’ or ‘created’? The answer to this question is yes. Yes, forests can be revived with the efforts of human beings. This book is based on this theme as how to replenish and recreate our lost forests. This book will teach you the concept of man-made Urban-Forest. It will also discuss what, how, when, where and why of an Urban-forest? It also teaches 51 steps to make an Urban-forest. Also, a brief introduction of the prevalent techniques of forest-making including Vrikshayurveda and Miyawaki and other methods are also discussed. Planting a forest is one of the best things you can do in your life for yourself as well as for generations to come. Trees are our ancestors and they give us the most vital thing—oxygen. We need lungs to filter the inhaled air. Similarly, forests filter the air and thus are the lungs of our planet. Let us gift a lung for the generations to come!

In this book I have developed a simple technique and formula for investment in stock markets. My students also appreciate that understanding the functioning of stock market is quite easy. I have devised some theories—basic theories that work quite effectively in the stock market. They work smoothly in India and, after conducting many workshops on them, I wish to present those theories to my reader. My efforts are constrained by time. However, a book does not have any such limitation. It may be easily accessible to anybody. For me, it's a big challenge to conduct multiple seminars across India. This requires plenty of time and a lots of effort. I am not capable of training more than a lac of people in my entire lifetime. There is great demand for education and hence, I have penned this book.

This book by eminent journalist Aaku Srivastava, delves deep into the history of the politics of independent India with an aim to study the ups and downs of the regional parties arising with the contradictions and conflicts between the states against the ‘Centre’. These ‘contradictions’ first appeared in the early 1970s when local political forces in 7 to 8 states formed their own ‘united governments’ and offered localist alternatives to the ‘Centrist’ Congress policies. Linguistic and local cultural identities made this change possible. In the Centre too, two non-Congress parties and local parties formed governments. In the era of globalisation, this tendency of decentralisation became even more forceful and compelling. Perhaps that is why even now that Congress ‘centralism’ has been replaced by BJP, many localist identities keep clashing with BJP’s centralism as well. Aaku Srivastava critically examines the various dimensions of this fundamental contradiction of Indian politics. And they tell that this contradiction is due to ‘internal contradiction’ of our contemporary politics, which apparently appears to be a ‘curse for democracy’ but indirectly it seems to keep democracy alive. In my view, this book is a perfect read to understand the pulse of contemporary and future politics. —Sudhiesh Pachouri
