Book excerpt: ‘I am tired and confused. I am surrounded by darkness, and am groping for the right path. Only you can take me to the light, but unless you love me body, mind and soul, it won’t work. Only you, loving me totally and unconditionally – physically, mentally and emotionally – will provide the magic balm. I can understand if you are tired, but I need your help, support and love. I am full of negativity, frustration and bitterness. Only your love can wash away this muck. Every time we make love, my anger, fear and confusion melt away, a bit at a time. Every time you hug and kiss me I feel wanted and special again. You are the balm to my tortured soul. Nothing else – family, career, drugs, money, films, friends or golf – can help me the way you can. I am wired to you. My life is in your hands, but do you want to help me anymore?’ A visceral, honest, deeply moving cry from the heart of a man dogged by misfortune and deemed unworthy of love.

The author served in the Police Department for 37 ½ years and saw the working of the department very closely. As such he has written the current book “Memoirs of an I.P.S. Officers”. The first myth that he has tried to dismantle is that you need not be from a higher class to get into the I.P.S. The author came from an ordinary middle-class family, but it was with his determination that he got into I.P.S. in his first attempt. The second myth that the author has tried to dismantle is that reading in a good English Medium School is a must. The author read only for 2 years in an English Medium School. All the rest were in Hindi Medium ordinary schools. But that was no deterrent to his achievements in his life. In his book “Memoirs of an I.P.S. officer” the author has tried to touch upon various types of problems that are faced by the Police throughout the country. Political murders are one. The political parties do not even bat an eyelid while eliminating their political rivals. Then there are mafia dons in every big & small city. They take protection money from the citizens to enable them to run their business. This malaise is prevalent in almost all the big and small cities to some extent. Then there is the trouble of Communal tension. The author has mentioned in detail communal trouble at Daspara which happened during his tenure as S.P. West Dinajpur. The author has tried to touch each aspect of Police functioning in a very simple and lucid manner. The book should make a happy reading for all the Civil Services aspirants. It would be equally helpful to those in service in the Police Department. Apart from this, others would also get to know a detailed view of the Police after going through this book.

Second part of the book describes twelve stories on manifestation of soul.
Download or read book My Truth written by Lafleur Barker and published by FriesenPress. This book was released on 2023-02-28 with total page 155 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What do you do when your world is a living hell? Do you accept the hand you’ve been dealt, or do you fight for a better life? At every turn, Lafleur Barker chose the latter option. This is her story. Lafleur was born in Saint Vincent in the Grenadines to destitute and overworked parents. After enduring a childhood of poverty and abuse, she took her destiny in her own hands and travelled to North America in the hopes of finding a better life. Unfortunately, hell followed her across the ocean. In Canada, Lafleur endured a series of living nightmares; violence, cruelty, and betrayal met her at every turn. Alone in a huge country, with no family, friends, or support, Lafleur had to learn how to survive on her own. She endured all the bumps and bruises, and she persevered until she reached a light at the end of the tunnel. Fundamentally, Lafleur’s story is about hope, resilience, and optimism. By trusting herself and the Lord, she survived the unimaginable. She is now blessed with a loving family and a well of hope for the future. Her story—her truth—is an inspiration for us all. Lafleur reminds us that with love and courage, anything is possible.

I have tried to focus on the working of our esteemed organization and while reading, readers may at a glance have an idea that how our pioneer organization is putting its effort in Nation building, how it achieved a “Mini Ratna” status among the Public Sector Undertakings, facing stiff challenges from the Private competitors, where the innovative ideas of management and never give up spirit of staff are instrumental for its successful growth. By sharing my rich experiences, I have tried to give a message to the new generation of the Corporation that how honesty, sincerity and devotion can make them perfect and at the same time make them successful in every sphere of life. Always be positive and through innovative plans, they can come up as a true leader, without any stress, or frustration. If my book motivates and inspire anybody, all my efforts towards writing the book will be successful. Hope all sections of readers will find the book interesting and I will eagerly wait for the valuable feedback from the readers.

Download or read book The Seaside Bride and Other Stories written by Dasu Krishnamoorty and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2019-06-26 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dasu Krishanmoorty, in his ninety fourth year, has immense faith in the power of memories to bring back days already lived for a re-evaluation, a leveling of highs and lows. Eventually, every man searches his past for clues, seeking to solve the enigma of being and the negotiation of a life not of his making. Dasu's personal tales are spun from four significant migrations that defined his life, tracing his lineage to an ancestor who was also a migrant. He takes the reader to places with different histories, geographies, and cultures. Three of these locations, once ruled by Muslim dynasties, are open-air museums of royal tombs and homes to awe-inspiring Islamic marvels of architecture: Hyderabad, Ahmedabad, and New Delhi. In contrast, the setting of the first story in Dasu's collection, ?Cracking Infinity, ? epitomizes modern minimalism in the United States, the location of his last migration.
