Download or read book The Flame Within A Diwali Tale of Hope written by Dr. Munish Kumar Thakur and published by JEC PUBLICATION. This book was released on with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Festivals serve as a reflection of the most important ideals held by humanity; they serve as a timeless reminder of these principles. Diwali, or the Festival of Lights, is particularly notable among them due to its glowing symbolism. Diwali, an expression of hope, rebirth, and the enduring power of the human spirit, is a celebration of light triumphing over darkness that has its roots in the Indian cultural and spiritual tradition. The Flame Within: A Diwali Tale of Hope is a book that was inspired by the desire to distil the spirit of the festival and investigate the ways in which its themes speak to both the lives of the individual and the larger society. This story is timeless and relevant at the same time. It illustrates how each person's inner light can shine brightest in times of adversity by weaving together stories of personal struggle, courage, and renewal. On the other hand, it provides a more in-depth analysis of the shared difficulties we confront in a world that is becoming more and more divided—where values like compassion, inclusivity, and harmony are frequently overshadowed by fear, uncertainty, and conflict. The book shows how times of individual awakening and communal hope can be expressed through a narrative arc that reflects the Diwali journey. Finally, I invite you to read this anthology with an open heart, to consider how its themes resonate within your own life, and to recognize that the flame of hope burns brightest when it is shared.

This literary memoir takes readers from her childhood in India where depression is thought to be a curse to life in America where she eventually finds the light within by drawing on both her rich Hindu heritage and Western medicine to spare. As a young girl in Bangalore, Gayathri was surrounded by the fragrance of jasmine and flickering oil lamps, her family protected by Hindu gods and goddesses. But as she grew older, demons came forth from the dark corners of her idyllic kingdom--with the scariest creatures lurking within her.The daughter of a respected Brahmin family, Gayathri began to feel different. "I can hardly eat, sleep, or think straight. The only thing I can do is cry unending tears." Her parents insisted it was all in her head. Because traditional Indian culture had no concept of depression as an illness, no doctor could diagnose and no medicine could heal her mysterious malady.This memoir traces Gayathri's courageous battle with the depression that consumed her from adolescence through marriage and a move to the United States. It was only after the birth of her first child, when her husband discovered her in the backyard "clawing the earth furiously with my bare hands, intent on digging a grave so that I could bury myself alive," that she finally found help. After a stay in a psych ward she eventually found "the light within," an emotional and spiritual awakening from the darkness of her tortured mind.Gayathri's inspiring story provides a first-of-its-kind cross-cultural view of mental illness--how it is regarded in India and in America, and how she drew on both her rich Hindu heritage and Western medicine to find healing.

Nearly 50 years in the making, Continents of Exile is one of the great works of twentieth-century autobiography: the epic chronicle of an Indian family in the twentieth century.

Download or read book Feature Writing written by N. MEERA RAGHAVENDRA RAO and published by PHI Learning Pvt. Ltd.. This book was released on 2012-09-12 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If we ask the lay readers why they read newspapers, the obvious answer would be to get news. However, what keeps the newspaper endearing and, in a way, enduring are the longer stories about people behind the news, about the humorous everyday experiences we all have, or the closer look at someone and the unexpected surprises we get in the process. In short, we call these features. In this substantially revised book on Feature Writing, the author with her vast experience discusses various aspects of Feature Writing. She focuses on different types of features found in newspapers—Humour and Satire, Brights, Human Interest Features, Travel Features and News Features—and illustrates each of these. In addition, she provides a detailed description of Profiles, Interviews, and Online Features with examples, and gives a clear analysis of Feature Writing Techniques. Intended as a text for students offering courses in Journalism, this book would also be extremely useful for freelance writers, and anyone who has a flair for writing. What is New to THE SECOND Edition Includes two new chapters on Obituary and Tribute, and Sports and new sections such as Blogs and Professionalism in Journalism. Provides more illustrations culled from recent newspapers. Gives explanatory notes on some key words used in the book, and a section on Vocabulary. What the Reviewers Say In this delightful book on FW [Feature Writing], Meera Raghavendra Rao brings home to us that writing a story or a novel is one way of discovering sequence in experience, of stumbling upon cause and effect in the happenings of a writer’s own life. In my view Meera Raghavendra Rao’s book on FW is an exceptionally good and useful book not only for all students of Journalism but also for all writers interested in FW. —V. Sundaram, News Today The author has used instances from her career spanning more than two decades to illustrate various situations in this book. —Deccan Chronicle The book is a rather exhaustive guide on ways to tell a feature story. Among the other pluses is the Indianness permeating the book—most sample articles are home-brewn. —The Hindu, Metroplus Weekend
