Mom Says: Get Married

By: Himanshu Modi

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

Marriage was always going to be an inescapable eventuality for Ajay Shroff. For a Gujarati, at the age of 26, he is anyways late on the matrimonial circuit. By the time he is 28, he is officially an antique. Everyone around him is doing their best to arrange his marriage. Spearheading the movement is his Mother. Too bad he cannot get over his "gamophobia". He goes weak in the knees thinking about the torture he is subjected to when he meets girls on 'arranged dates'. When he narrates his harrowing incidents to anyone willing to listen (or read), he unfailingly finds his audience on the floor rolling with laughter. The horror of his pre-matrimonial mis-adventures is a source of great entertainment for those around him. The world of bio-datas, internet profiles, photoshoped pictures and oh yes, horoscopes, is fraught with uncertainty, calamity and disaster. If only people could stop laughing at Ajay's plight! How he wishes for a romantic fairy-tale of how he met his wife. How he wishes he wasn't getting married just because his Mom says, “Get Married!

Stop Predicting - Revisit Life

Lessons from Covid 19

By: Vinay Sharma,Rabindranath Bhattacharyya,Sanjeev Kumar Mahajan,Himanshu Shekhar Mishra

A comprehensive account of how India fought the war against the Covid-19 pandemic, Stop Predicting, Revisit Life offers a 360-degree account of the unprecedented health crisis brought on by the pandemic, from the reverse migration of millions of migrant workers to the debilitating impact of a lockdown that led to the biggest annual contraction of the Indian economy since 1952. It is based on deep analysis of official data and documents released by the government and international institutions, the debates in Indian Parliament, official reports tabled therein and information collected from the ground during the pandemic. While offering new policy and legislative measures to combat a COVID-19-like pandemic in the future, Stop Predicting, Revisit Life explores in detail issues of how we perceive life, what it takes to be resilient and how we can work together as society.

Capturing Institutional Change

The Case of the Right to Information Act in India

By: Himanshu Jha

Institutions are norms that undergird organizations and are reflected in laws and practices. Over time, institutions take root and persist as they are path dependent and thus change resistant. Therefore, it is puzzling when institutions change. One such puzzle has been the enactment of the Right to Information (RTI) Act in India in 2005, which brought about institutional change by transforming the 'information regime'. Why did the government upend the norm of secrecy, which had historically been entrenched within the Indian State? This book uses archival material, internal government documents, and interviews to understand the why and how of institutional change. It demonstrates that the institutional change resulted from 'ideas' emerging gradually and incrementally, leading to a 'tipping point'. About the IDSA Series: This series interrogates the interplay between globalization, the state, and social forces in the making and un-making of institutions in South Asia. Why do institutions persist and change? Do we need to transcend materialism and dwell in ideas and culture as well to understand why institutions perform and fail? The first book in the Institutions and Development in South Asia series, this volume studies the historical institutionalism in the information regime in India by presenting an alternative narrative about the evolution of the RTI Act.

Fractional Modeling and Controller Design of Robotic Manipulators

With Hardware Validation

By: Abhaya Pal Singh,Dipankar Deb,Himanshu Agrawal,Valentina E. Balas

This book at hand is an appropriate addition to the field of fractional calculus applied to control systems. If an engineer or a researcher wishes to delve into fractional-order systems, then this book has many collections of such systems to work upon, and this book also tells the reader about how one can convert an integer-order system into an appropriate fractional-order one through an efficient and simple algorithm. If the reader further wants to explore the controller design for the fractional-order systems, then for them, this book provides a variety of controller design strategies. The use of fractional-order derivatives and integrals in control theory leads to better results than integer-order approaches and hence provides solid motivation for further development of control theory. Fractional-order models are more useful than the integer-order models when accuracy is of paramount importance. Real-time experimental validation of controller design strategies for the fractional-order plants is available. This book is beneficial to the academic institutes for postgraduate and advanced research-level that need a specific textbook on fractional control and its applications in srobotic manipulators. The book is also a valuable teaching and learning resource for undergraduate and postgraduate students.

No one still got clear picture, whether it a disease which is killing all of us or there is some enemy or a group against us? Whoever it is, how on earth someone can move a mountain to finish a village or is it really Lord Shiv, who is furious on us, if it is Lord Shiv’s wrath then, why Guru Aksi said, War?

The Archaeology of Sacred Spaces

The temple in western India, 2nd century BCE–8th century CE

By: Susan Verma Mishra,Himanshu Prabha Ray

This volume focuses on the religious shrine in western India as an institution of cultural integration in the period spanning 200 BCE to 800 CE. It presents an analysis of religious architecture at multiple levels, both temporal and spatial, and distinguishes it as a ritual instrument that integrates individuals and communities into a cultural fabric. The work shows how these structures emphasise on communication with a host of audiences such as the lay worshipper, the ritual specialist, the royalty and the elite as well as the artisan and the sculptor. It also examines religious imagery, inscriptions, traditional lore and Sanskrit literature. The book will be of special interest to researchers and scholars of ancient Indian history, Hinduism, religious studies, architecture and South Asian studies.

Mahabharata Retold Part-2

By: Himanshu Agarwal

Man is a social animal; no man can live in isolation. We are surrounded by people. We have family, friends, social acquaintances, work acquaintances and so on. Since the time of our birth, we add names, relationships and people in our social calendars. They become an integral part of our lives as we interact with them on a daily basis. If a person does not acquire knowledge or does not put their common sense to use, continues to live an ignorant life or chooses to remain blind, it is the worst kind of life. It is a life of misery and ill luck. In Mahabharata Retold Part-1, we saw the reasons behind the war. Mahabharata Retold Part-2 marks the best and worst times of one’s life and the time after such a period. Life never ends. We gain and lose in the same life. Our decisions are right at one stage of life and the same decisions stand wrong on another. Life is a series of changes that are unpredictable by the human mind. It not only covers the greatest war of mankind but also tells us what happened after it—how war changes the world around us. Mahabharata’s war was not the only purpose of this Veda’s compilation.

Lockdown

By: Mr. Himanshu Trivedi (AB)

For most of us in the 21stcentury there is a word every one of us has heard of, the second most popular word after the word SEX is Corona. This book gives you a glimpse of the situation around us the challenges and risks taken by the common man in dealing with Corona and all the associated problems that he would have ever imagined. The reason for writing this book with a humorous touch and convey the message that you yourself do not make the destiny and there are numerous forces involved in keeping your peace at bay. I have made a sincere attempt to capture all that happened around me in a span of 60 days which felt like a life time. I would also thank the government of India for making me sit and wonder for 30 days in forced quarantine which has led to this book reaching to you all. All the incidents I have referred in this book do not pertain to any single individual or organization however they are glimpse of true incidents which occurred around me in a span of 60 days. I would like to thank the member of my family for all the support and encouragement received during the trying times. Kinneers or transgender, LGBT community for coming forward and providing people with masks food and support system. I would also thank the individuals and organizations who fed the stray dogs birds and cats during this time. Last but not the least I would like to also thank Mumbai Police for their efficient administration and control of the situation during the lockdown period.
