Download or read book Blue Is Like Blue written by Vinod Kumar Shukla and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2019-05-25 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the Atta Galatta - Bangalore Literature Festival Book Prize (Fiction) 2019.Renowned for bringing the marvellous to the ordinary, Vinod Kumar Shukla has long been recognized as one of India's foremost writers, with a voice uniquely his own.The stories in Blue Is Like Blue deal with 'smaller-than-life people'. They live in rented accommodation, often in single rooms, where one electric bulb does for light. There's a nail to hang clothes from and a wall-to-wall string for the washing. When the clothes are dry, you place the carefully folded shirt under a pillow and lie down to sleep. Money is a concern, but the bazaar is the place to go and spend time in, especially if you have nothing to buy. The fear that you may be overcharged accompanies every transaction, but joy is not entirely absent. Few works of modern Indian literature come alive in English, and fewer still in the way that these stories do in Arvind Krishna Mehrotra and Sara Rai's brilliant translation.

Download or read book Love Like Blue written by Kristen Lazarian and published by . This book was released on 2012-08-01 with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In LOVE LIKE BLUE, playwright Kristen Lazarian explores the complexities of human partnerships, as three couples face the demise of their relationships in Act One. But life is a cycle, and endings always lead to beginnings. The character Felix writes, "We're connected whether we like it or not. The dance itself never ends." The same characters meet and start anew in Act Two. "One of the reasons that LOVE LIKE BLUE works so well is its brilliantly original concept. We get to know all six people in Act One, but we see them at their worst, at their cruelest, at their most disillusioned. Then, as the deck is reshuffled in Act Two, we rediscover them at their best, fresh, excited, optimistic, ready to love again." (StageSceneLA)

Download or read book Blue Like Jazz Movie Edition written by Donald Miller and published by Harper Horizon. This book was released on 2012-04-09 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The runaway New York Times bestseller that became a cornerstone of Christian nonfiction, Blue Like Jazz is a fresh and original perspective on life, love, and redemption. "I never liked jazz music because jazz music doesn't resolve…Sometimes you have to watch somebody love something before you can love it yourself. It is as if they are showing you the way. I used to not like God because God didn't resolve. But that was before any of this happened." Donald Miller was raised in a strict Texas denomination where he was only vaguely familiar with a distant God. When he grew older, he ran all the way to the least-religious university in the US: Rice College in Portland, Oregon. Still, God pursued him. When he came to know Jesus, he pursued the Christian life with great zeal. However, within a few years he had a successful ministry that ultimately left him feeling empty, burned out, and, once again, far away from God. In this intimate, non-judgmental, and soul-searching account, Miller describes his remarkable journey with and back to the infinitely loving God, helping you… discover how the Christian faith is still relevant in a postmodern culture; learn how to have a genuine encounter with a God who is real; and enjoy a renewed sense of passion for your life. Blue Like Jazz is a gentle, honest resource for those curious about the Christian faith, or new to it, and offers a fresh and original perspective on life, love, and redemption.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this seventh installment in the internationally bestselling, universally beloved series, there is considerable excitement at the shared premises of the No. 1 Ladies’ Detective Agency and Tlokweng Road Speedy Motors. A cobra has been found in Precious Ramotswe’s office. Then a nurse from a local medical clinic reveals to Mma Ramotswe that faulty blood-pressure readings are being recorded there. And it looks as though Aunty Emang, the advice columnist in the local newspaper, may not be what she seems. It all means a lot of work for Mma Ramotswe and her inestimable assistant, Grace Makutsi, and they are, of course, up to the challenge. But there’s trouble brewing in Mma Makutsi’s own life. Her greedy uncles are demanding an extra-large bride price from her well-to-do fiancé, a man of substance, Phuti Radiphuti, and though money may buy her that fashionably narrow (and uncomfortable) pair of blue shoes, it won’t buy her the happiness that Mma Ramotswe promises her she’ll find in simpler things – in contentment with the world and enough tea to smooth over the occasional bumps in the road.
