A police sharpshooter with Asperger’s syndrome is tasked with cleaning up the streets of Mumbai in this “gripping thriller” (Booklist). In recent decades, ostensibly to combat the rising tide of criminality in Mumbai’s underworld, the Indian Police Service has carried out many hundreds of extrajudicial assassinations of suspects. Karan, an expert sharpshooter in an elite branch dispensed with dishing out this vigilante justice, has a difficult choice: should he continue to blindly follow orders from his superiors, regardless of their moral standing, or take matters into his own hands and do what he believes to be right? Belonging to a hit squad whose members all fall somewhere along the autism spectrum, Karan is notorious for his ruthless precision and efficiency, yet he remains aloof and distant. Gradually, his impenetrable façade begins to crack, and Karan’s emotional and psychological depth reveals itself as he is forced to make decisions where the stakes are literally life-and-death. “A melancholy cop’s obsessions are just the tip of the iceberg as he leads a two-fisted team determined to clean up Mumbai’s mean streets . . . Kumar’s style, blunt but often by turns poetic and droll, is arresting . . . As unusual as it is compelling, this entry lays the groundwork for an entertaining series.” —Kirkus Reviews “Kumar has created some thoroughly intriguing characters . . . but the most fascinating of Kumar’s characters is Mumbai itself—enormous, crowded, hyperactive, roiling, stunningly rich and grindingly poor, and teeming with almost unfathomable energy. International-crime fans should flock to this one.” —Booklist

In a flash, Krishna took out the Sudarshana Chakra from its holder near his waist and threw it at Shishupala. The Chakra took his head off and returned back to Krishna. Krishna Yogeshvara, the second volume in the Lord Krishna Trilogy, seamlessly weaves a mystical, awe-inspiring narrative of the leela of Krishna through the least explored aspect of his life-the years in between the killing of Kamsa and the start of the great war of Mahabharata. Krishna's favourite cousin, Uddhava, through his pristine narration, connects the episodes of how Krishna employs him to reconcile with Radha, leading to Krishna's growing-up years as a student and a warrior yogi. The book traces the evolution of Krishna from a precocious adolescent to a person fully in control of his consciousness-someone who is capable of offering the best solution using the stratagem of sama, dama, danda, bheda to every situation in accordance with Dharma. Krishna's understanding of Dharma is of the highest order, and his understanding transcends to that of the highest yogi. That is why he is revered as the Yogeshvara-one who fulfils Patanjali's definition of a yogi. The book explores the deep recesses of the minds of the various characters and how they interact with Krishna. The author intertwines the narrative of traditional Krishna stories with a touch of realism, using the technique of Uddhava's narration with his own. As the two paths converge, the villains and antagonists of the great epic also come to the fore and are vanquished strategically by Krishna's brilliance. Kutil Dharma, so brutal earlier, transmogrifies into a subtle but more devastating form; yet, he cannot escape the sharp eye of Krishna. The book ends with the Kaurava and the Pandava armies arrayed against each other, with Arjuna refusing to fight, setting the stage for the recital of Bhagavad Gita.

The science of administration attempts to discover and impart, principles of administration. Principles can mean either of two things, ie, ethical nature and generalization of behaviour. The first is of an ethical nature, the administration may say we ought to do this list of things in this way. Here the ethical impulse is paramount. Thus, we ought to admit every child that is sick and brought to our door. Or, we ought not let a patient leave, until we absolutely certain that he is capable of returning to work tomorrow morning, at least to get as strong as he was before he was afflicted. These are standards. Ambitions, expressions of what is supremely good in the conduct of the enterprise. There is a relationship between ethical principles and the principles as generalisation of cause and effect. The principle, as ethics may set the purpose; the generalisation may assist in identifying the means whereby the purpose may be achieved. According to Finer, following are the principles of administration. From the apprehension of purpose, from its absorption, flows directly the oneness of leadership that gives form to the whole aggregate of people whose skills are needed for its fulfillment. Leadership e may take the form of a single executive or a duo or a triumvirate and There are numerous forms of collective administrative bodies. One may be final leader to ultimate decisions. Oneness implies that all the personnel are members. The first requirement is the right of people to have positions of authority, or in other words, the of the authority of the situation. This returns to the problem that is to say, the selection and promotion leading to high places. However, there are persons involved in all the techniques of persuasion and command; orientation periods, manuals of policy, periodical conferences, social festivities; the administrator rounds in the manner appropriate to the personality of the particular collection and human beings on the staff and individual counselling. It would be idle to protract that list of the techniques of association of the art, as it were, of making love to other people.

Autodidact is an anthology of compassion and hardwork compiled by an amazing compiler. Compassion gives us the ability to understand someone else's situation and the desire to take action to improve their lives whereas hardwork is the key to achieve anything in life. Compassion and hardwork are two sides of coin but can sometimes go hand by hand. Often we may work hard to achieve something, but we may not be compassionate to others. A man must be composed of compassion and hardwork, for him to reach the heights of success. Autodidact is a collection of poetry, stories and open letters, that talks about how important it is to be hardworking and how being compassionate helps in life for an individual to grow.
The COVID-19 pandemic was a bolt from the blue. The world never expected it; neither was it prepared. This is a kind of crisis that most of us are unlikely to experience more than once in our lifetimes. Individuals and companies are trying hard to cope and adapt. The truth though is that we constantly deal with crises in our lives. The consequences of some of these crises are far worse than those posed by the pandemic. Imagine being born in Afghanistan in the 1980s or 1990s or being born to a sex worker in any country. Life itself would be a crisis. Yet, some deal with a crisis with equanimity and courage while some others give up. A crisis can be a great opportunity for innovation. Almost every great innovation has been in response to a crisis of some sort. We have seen this in recent times, and we have seen this throughout history. Sailing through a Storm brings us this hope. An inspiring read, this comprises beautiful stories of women and men who dealt with adversity, how they emerged strong and successful, and how drawing from their lives we too can turn the storm around to make it work for us.
This book provides salient information on all aspects of influenza/flu viruses affecting animals and humans. It specifically reviews the properties and replication of influenza viruses; their evolution and emergence; epidemiology; role of migratory birds in disease transmission; clinical signs in humans, animals and poultry; pathogenesis and pathogenicity; public health importance and potential threats; diagnosis; prevention and control measures; and pandemic preparedness. Influenza/flu viruses evolve continuously and jump species causing epidemics as well as pandemics in both human and animals. During the past 150 years, various strains of influenza virus like the Spanish flu, Asian flu, Hong Kong flu, bird flu and swine flu were responsible for high mortality in humans as well as birds. High mutation rates, antigenic shifts, drifts, reassortment phenomena, and the development of antiviral drug resistance all contribute to ineffective chemotherapy and vaccines against influenza viruses. Due to their devastating nature, high zoonotic implications and high mortality in humans and poultry, they have a severe impact on the socioeconomic status of countries. Disease awareness, rapid and accurate diagnosis, surveillance, strict biosecurity, timely adoption of appropriate preventive and control measures and pandemic preparedness are crucial to help reduce virus transmission, thus reducing clinical cases, deaths and pandemic threats.

The forest contributes major natural resource for maintenance of ecological balance. In India and in many other countries natural forests are shrinking at a faster rate than expected. The density of forest cover is also diminishing. The natural forest ecosystems are the results of growth, development, interaction and stabilization of different species, both of plants and animals over centuries. The ecological balance has been upset due to rapid growth of human population and subsequent increase in the demands for utilization of natural resources. As per FAO, 42 million acres (16.8 million ha) of forest area disappear every year globally, which in the tropics frequently leads to soil erosion and contributes to the loss of 15 million acres (6 million ha) of arable land.
