Happily Ever Laughter

Hilarious Short Inspirational Stories

By: Dr. Satish B. Synghal

? Humour, dominates in more than 50 percent of his stories. It goes without saying that humour refreshes, rejuvenates and removes, stress and depression. The remaining content of the book involves inspirational material, which is intended to dispel unhappiness and ushers in happiness in life. ? The most important lesson conveyed through the stories is, adopt an occupation involving such work, which you enjoy doing and derive most of your pleasure from it. ? People usually have one point agenda: - earning money, which they mistakenly believe can buy happiness. Some amount of money and wealth are necessary. Family, friends and relationships are equally important as a source of happiness. One must simultaneously nurture these also to remain happy. ? If you want to be respected, pay respect to others. If you want to be happy, try to make others happy and if you want to be rich, help financially those who are in need. In short whatever you want for yourself, start giving in affordable measures to others. ? Whatever you sow, you have to reap its fruit, even if you dislike it. Sow seeds of love, kindness, and noble deeds, to remain happy. ? Sex, marriage, and family can give us joy and happiness. Age, appropriate sex education should be imparted to all, to enable them to remain happy and healthy. ? You would dislike a person, who receives help from you but does not feel thankful for it. It is the Almighty God, who has given us, whatever we have. He will surely appreciate and shower happiness on us if we feel ever grateful to Him for His gifts and blessings.

Sterilization and Disinfection of Dental Operatory

By: Dr. Pradeep Kumar Pandey ,Dr. Sudhanshu Agrawal,Dr. Dipti Singh,Dr. Kunwar Satish,Dr. Priyanka Kumari

Medical and dental devices that allin contact with, sterile body tissues or fluids are considered critical items. These items should be sterile when used, because any microbial contamination could result in disease transmission. Such items include surgical instruments, biopsy forceps, and implanted medical devices. If these items are heat resistant, the recommended sterilization process is steam sterilization, because it has the largest margin of safety due to its reliability, consistency, and lethality. However, reprocessing heat and moisture sensitive items require use of a low-temperature sterilization technology (e.g., ethylene oxide, hydrogen peroxide gas plasma, per acetic acid). This book is a small determination to summarize a clinical guileless approach toward sterilization and disinfection in the field of dental operatory along with history, sterilization techniques, instrument processing & sterilization monitoring, mechanisms of disease transmission, personal protective barriers, and waste management.

Spirals of Contention

Why India was Partitioned in 1947

By: Satish Saberwal

This study examines the social and psychological processes that led to the Partition of the Indian subcontinent in 1947. It recognizes the long-term continuities in the idiom of conflict (as well as cooperation), and shows that, by 1900, the conflicts and animosities were gathering a self-aggravating momentum. The book moves back and forth between evidence and general, or theoretical, understanding. Separateness between Hindus and Muslims grew reciprocally, with hardening religious identities and the growing frequency of incidents of conflict. These skirmishes had several dimensions: symbolic (desecrating places of worship), societal (conversions), and physical (violence against women). As mutual trust declined, a quarter century of negotiations under diverse auspices failed to yield an agreement, and even the framework of the Partition in 1947 was imposed by the colonial rulers. A theoretically informed study, this book takes a comparative stance along several axes. Recognizing long-term continuities in the idiom of conflict (as well as of cooperation), it will be of interest to students of conflicts, Partitions, history, sociology, and South Asian studies.

My Hindu Faith and Periscope

By: Satish C. Bhatnagar

Every author believes that his or her book is meant for everyone. In this respect, however, I am the biggest beneficiary. In the process of writing these reflections for over ten years, and lately compiling and editing them, I have finally understood my faith deeply. Consequently, confidence that I lacked about Hinduism during my adult years has been replaced with pride in graying years! At times, it has taken me to such a height that in a few reflections, I have propounded a thesis that India will be a true secular country only when it will be constitutionally a Hindu state. The practice of secularism in India since 1947 has been reduced to anti-Hinduism and Hindu bashingparadoxically more so by Hindus than by non-Hindus. It is making India porous for attacks by the terrorists, who are both homegrown and foreign-based. History is repeating itself! The Hindus remain totally divided in half a dozen political parties. A sterling lesson of Indias history is that traders, preachers, and persecuted humanity of every foreign faith were permitted, sheltered, and welcomed by the Hindu kings whose kingdoms stretched from the coasts of Malabar in Kerala to Kuchh in Gujarat to Karachi in Sindhstarting more than one thousand years ago. Doesnt it make pristine Hinduism akin to humanism? What an incredible journey of this realization to dawn after nearly six decades!

Hinduism : The Faith Eternal

Hinduism : The Faith Eternal

By: Dr. Satish K. Kapoor

The evolution of Hinduism has been a saga of continuous progression from the unreal to the real, from the profane to the profound, in successive stages of human development. Hinduism has withstood challenges of all hues, both within and without. It has had its periods of light and shade, occurring concurrently, through the course of history. Sometimes shady aspects assumed vast proportions and enveloped the lofty ideals of the Vedas, but prophetic souls appeared to redeem the society of evil, from Adi Shankaracarya to Bhakti reformers of medieval India, and from Raja Ram Mohan Roy, Swami Dayananda and Swami Vivekananda to Mahatma Gandhi. Like any other human faith, Hinduism has its philosophical and practical sides, called “the kernel and the husk” respectively. The survival of Hinduism has been due to its ability to separate the former from the latter, in an unending process, and to withstand challenges of all types by adhering to the timeless principles of truth (satya) and righteousness (dharma). Hinduism has been open, flexible and adaptable. It has discarded outworn ideas and institutions, absorbed the best elements of fellow cultures, and reinterpreted itself in changing milieus. The present publication by Advaita Ashrama, a branch of Ramakrishna Math, Belur Math, India is an attempt to explain the quintessential of Hinduism within the orbit of time and beyond it, involving an explication of the eternal values and principles which sustain existence. It explores the dynamics of Hinduism in religio-historical framework through the second millennium of the common era. About the Cover:The image of Lord Shiva as Nataraja, the king of dancers. As the Cosmic Dancer, his dance represents the five cosmic activities of creation, preservation, destruction, concealment of Truth behind apparitions, and divine grace. He dances on the prostate body of the demon, Apasmara. Apasmara symbolises man's ignorance or forgetfulness of Truth. Shiva is Time (kala), and he is also the Great Time (maha kala), i.e. Eternity. This is the dance of the Cosmic Being, eternally going on.

Bone Grafts in Periodontics

By: Dr. Sudhanshu Agarwal,Dr. Dipti Singh ,Dr. Priyanka Kumari ,Dr. Kunwar Satish

The goal in periodontal therapy is the creation of an environment that is conducive to maintaining the patient’s dentition in good health, comfort and function. Today, with the introduction of advanced bone grafting techniques and sophisticated bone replacement graft materials, it is possible to increase the volume, width and height of bone in deficient areas enough to regenerate supporting periodontal tissues around questionable teeth and place implants in ideal positions and angulation resulting in more acceptable and predictable restoration. This book aims to discuss and elaborate the various bone grafts used in periodontal regenerative procedures and the bone graft substitutes that have come to existence more recently with improved properties.

Transfer of Power

Twilight of India's Independence

By: Dr. Satish Chaturvedi

Diving deep into the saga of 1,000 years of painful slavery and excruciating humiliation, India, a country with mindboggling resources and riches was heroically freed from the clutches of her last invader, the mighty British rulers. Despite being subjected to foreign rulers for thousands of years, India’s pristine cultural identity and uniqueness of civilization remained intact. The political partnership among Indian leaders was so prolific that it outshined the acumen of British leaders in every single aspect. The audacity of Winston Churchill to keep India a permanent slave of the British Raj and his hateful condemnation of giving India its political freedom as a shameful flight was decisively defeated by the strong political acumen of Indian leaders. Barrister Jinnah was a crack in the wall as he was hell-bent on his demand for a separate Pakistan of Muslims. India was asking for independence as a united India but the British divided it into two different nations thereby creating permanent enmity between them with the hope of invading these fragile states one more time. Till his last breath, Mahatma Gandhi fought for Hindu-Muslim unity and undivided India. His preaching for non-violence, universal brotherhood, and tolerance became the universal truth and panacea for present-day problems of the modern world.

Accidents and Disasters

Lessons from Air Crashes and Pandemics

By: Satish Chandra

This book deals with the contemporary subject of perception of risk and its influence on accidents and disasters. The contents examine the conventional viewpoints on human errors, incubation of errors, complexity and organisational deviance as a cause for accidents. Work of Mary Douglas with regard to risk, Charles Perrow's work on the normal accident theory and Diane Vaughan's theory on normalisation of deviance are examined from a fresh perspective in this book. It also discusses prominent accidents in aviation, space, nuclear energy, automotive and healthcare, using the pandemic and Boeing 737 Max as a backdrop to study accidents and disasters. It further explores the background and similarities to these events and addresses the core issues such as the state of regulation, the worldview of the sociologists, and proposes that mental models of complex systems, avarice and risk for gain as other possibilities for accidents. Using the concept of nudge in behavioural economics and the Elinor Ostrom’s viewpoint on regulating for common good, it suggests a way forward through the High Reliability Organisation Theory (HRO) leading to enhanced risk perception. The book will be of interest to those who would like to understand the need to incorporate risk perception into regulation, engineers and scientists, professionals and policy makers working in the areas of disaster and risk management, technology areas like aviation, nuclear plants, space and healthcare, students of the sociology of risk and of course the general reader.

Regarded in the culinary world as the man who put Indian food on the fine-dining map, Satish Arora is known for reimagining traditional dishes in a contemporary avatar. He has been feted by connoisseurs and food historians for his contribution to Indian cuisine that, until his arrival, was considered too pedestrian to be put on a five-star menu.

What followed was an exemplary career spanning fifty years, creating innovative dishes for the world's biggest celebrities and dignitaries. From Prime Minister Indira Gandhi to Queen Elizabeth II, Bill Clinton and Amitabh Bachchan, Arora has served them all.

Vision, Courage and Service

Life and Times of General T.N. Raina, MVC

By: Brigadier Satish K. Issar

Born in a traditional Indian middle-class family in 1921, Tapishwar Narain ("Tappy") Raina rose to the pinnacle of the Indian Army in 1975. A decorated and battle-hardened soldier, Tappy Raina proved also to be a visionary Army Chief. He pushed through ground-breaking initiatives both for making the Indian Army future-ready and for the welfare of its officers and men. Equally, his quiet but firm stand against the Indian Army being drawn into the maelstrom of Indian politics during the period of Emergency was a truly signal service to India’s democracy. Tappy Raina was pitched into the 2nd World War at the very outset of his army career and saw action in the Middle East, Burma and the Far East. During this period he was wounded and lost his right eye but never let this early setback affect him professionally. His finest hour as a soldier came during India’s war with China in 1962. Amidst the ruins elsewhere along the borders, Brigadier Raina won laurels as a battlefield commander in Ladakh, where Indian Army blunted the Chinese PLA in the battle of Chushul. For this exemplary military leadership, Tappy Raina was conferred the country’s second highest gallantry award, the Maha Vir Chakra (MVC). Later, for his contribution in the war against Pakistan in 1971, then Lt General Raina was conferred the award of Padma Bhushan. Not even sixty yet, General Raina passed away in 1980 with his boots on while serving in India’s High Commissioner in Canada. Interspersed in the book are notes by Tappy Raina’s wife, Ninette, which etch out some personal facets of his life and reveal his innate decency, modesty and compassion. General T. N. Raina’s was an inspiring life of outstanding service to the nation, embodying vision, professional excellence and courage.
