Download or read book Manik Da written by Nemai Ghosh and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2011-04-15 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Satyajit Ray, known to his intimates as Manik-da, remains India's most respected name in international film circles. This book reveals in its simplicity the ease and camaraderie between Satyajit Ray, one of India's finest film-makers, and Nemai Ghosh, photographer extraordinaire. Manik-da is the latter's endeavour to depict the man behind the director's mask. Ghosh first worked with Ray on Goopy Gyne Bagha Byne, and Ray immediately found in him a kindred spirit who intuitively understood his requirements - and whom he understood. Thus was formed a partnership that spanned over a quarter of a century. In the process, Ghosh was able to photograph Ray at work and play, capturing on film the many moods of the master director. This nuanced and lucid translation from the Bengali original, which includes a perceptive Foreword by Sharmila Tagore, presents to the English reader Ghosh's thoughts on Ray with over fifty exquisite, never-before-seen photographs.
Download or read book Manik written by Amo Jones and published by . This book was released on 2018-10 with total page 342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I'm Beatrice Kennedy, but everyone calls me Beat. I live a low-key life, fresh out of college and drifting from town to town until I find my home. I love music, and how it stirs even the deepest and untouched parts of your soul. Depending on what you choose to listen to, would depend on what it touches. It's the drug we all damper in, only different strains. My strain is Jazz. The smooth instrumental strums that take over me. The sound of cigar smoke, bourbon and an old dusty fedora hat. My strain wasn't rap, and it sure wasn't laced with some A-class shit like murky blue eyes casted down from the Lord and the Devil's handcrafted smile. I knew who he was--the whole world did. One fateful night set off a chain of events, events that no one was coming back from. You can't save people who don't want to be saved. You can't pull them up from the ocean when they've latched themselves to an anchor. Love was my anchor, destruction was the water that was drowning me, and the rope that was so tightly clamped around my ankles, was woven with the lyrics of Aeron Romanov-Reed, also known as, 'Manik. He steals hearts from all around the world, but one night, he stole something that wasn't his to steal. Me.

Download or read book Memories of a Cairo Fugitive written by KRISHNA WASHBURN and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2012-03-14 with total page 347 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After a hasty escape to Egypt to avoid punishment for his partner, Lord Greenwich's vast financial crimes, former Mombasa solicitor and gigolo, Manik Mudigonda, is forced to adapt to a life without parties and without company in pre-World War I Cairo. Once again, the rejected Brahmin prince from Benares tries to find a niche for himself in an alien land that doesn't initially seem to have a niche for a piebald, red-eyed, bulimic criminal lawyer without much self confidence, and yet it is in arid, claustrophobic, poorly governed British Egypt that Manik's professional and personal lives come into full bloom. Not only does Manik's legal career flourish against all odds, fighting for his criminal clients' rights to appeal, coping with embedded corruption, racism, and constant condescention, but also he succeeds at initiating his first monogamous relationship, hidden from the disapproving glare of Egyptian culture. An ode to resiliance in the face of unusual hardship, the synchronicity of strength and fragility of the human psyche, and the elusive, inexplicable nature of love, Manik Mudigonda tries to narrate his life, if for no other reason than to try to remember.

Download or read book Manik Sarkar Real And The Virtual written by Dinesh Kanji and published by Prabhat Prakashan. This book was released on 2021-01-19 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What are the forces that have been zealously trying to portray the 19 years of anarchic rule; supported by dacoits; criminals; and murderers; as the regime of the 'Messiah of the poor'? Isn't it highly strange and surprising that none from the journalist community has even dared to write against Manik Sarkar; who has given patronage to political mafias and corrupt politicians in the state of Tripura? Why a person who have been enjoying a lavish lifestyle with the money of the poor is portrayed as someone as simple as Mahatma Gandhi? All these questions have been disturbing my mind. The purpose of this book is to seek the answers of these very questions. The real motto of this book is to expose; at the national level; the intellectual and ideological hollowness of the communist parties; to unravel the anti-national activities of the communists; to unveil the real face of so-called 'Mr. Clean' Manik Sarkar; and to highlight the crimes and misdeeds of the communists of Tripura in the last decades.
Download or read book Vibro Acoustics written by Dhanesh N. Manik and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2017-04-07 with total page 493 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The subject of vibro-acoustics is important for the design of machine elements and structures, to minimize sound generated by them. For better machine designing, it is necessary for machine designers (mechanical engineers) to have a thorough knowledge of vibro-acoustics. Furthermore, since the design cycles of machines have become shorter, designers will have to design quiet machines at the drawing-board stage rather than applying "band-aid" techniques after the machine has been built. Although there is common ground in the treatment of acoustics, the subject of vibration is not very fortunate. Those interested in low-frequency vibration are generally concerned with the modal approach of using natural frequencies and mode shapes, whereas those interested in vibro-acoustics in medium and high frequencies are generally concerned with the wave approach. Since both modal and wave approaches have their advantages, it is a good idea to study both together to get the best out of them. This is useful for a better understanding the physics of vibro-acoustics. Written for students and professionals interested in gaining knowledge, this book systematically integrates the relevant aspects of vibro-acoustics from various viewpoints.

In the midst of an election, there are too many powerful forces working against them.

Using pronouns (I, we, you, they, he, she, it) is the most popular way to begin a sentence. But there are many other words that are widely used to start a sentence. They might be question words (what, where, etc.). They might be words formed from verbs, ending in –ing, -ed, -en, etc. Besides, words such as ‘to’ ‘in’ ‘with’, ‘if’, ‘after’ are also used to begin a sentence. Here, you will learn various words and phrases to start a sentence with. Important Note: Starting a sentence with ‘and’ or ‘but’ is correct or not! Using ‘And’ or ‘But’ to begin a sentence is generally considered grammatically Incorrect. But there is no hard and fast rule in this regard. So, you can use ‘And’ or ‘But’ to begin a sentence. But avoid excessive use of these words to begin a sentence. Use these words at the beginning of a sentence only when they really give strength to your language. Note: It is said that a sentence should not be begun with a conjunction of any kind, especially one of the FANBOYS (for, and, nor, but, or, yet, so). But this is not a hard and fast rule.

Download or read book Banaras written by Kynpham Sing Nongkynrih and published by Penguin Random House India Private Limited. This book was released on 2024-05-30 with total page 436 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Distaste of the Earth imaginatively weaves an ancient world of Khasi kings and queens, warriors and plunderers, and chronicles the sorrows of a young man caught up in that world. This layered fictional history of a land where a queen falls in love with a pauper, where animals recount their tales of woe against man, and where retribution—destructive to both good and bad—arrives, sooner or later, begins in a pata, the local bar, whose patrons form a microcosm of the world around them. Kynpham Sing Nongkynrih masterfully equips these endearing characters to explore, through the tragic life of the protagonist, the nature of human existence, raising questions about earthly powers, godly dispensation, and where our anthropocentric attitude is leading us. Through a universe of fierce warriors and ruthless wars, the novel grapples with themes such as greed and oppression, revenge and justice, love and the tragedy of love, strife and the peace that comes when one ‘unyokes’ oneself, ‘disconnected from the sources of wretchedness, a fluffy down in the wind of fortune’. The novel reimagines a world where man is a despot, where God is ostensibly absent, perhaps much like our own, outlining issues at once ancient and contemporary with startling clarity.
