But the Queen of Cats has three golden kittens – and when two are stolen away, the distraught parents turn to Tag, the new guardian of magical wild roads, for help. As Tag and his friends embark on their search, they encounter a terrifying, unearthly force – a preternatural vortex threatening the wild roads, tearing at the very fabric of existence.

Book excerpt: July 03, 2018. They met for the first time. As life went on, Mumbai witnessed their bond growing day by day. Rainy August evenings and long winter nights stood with them as they would not leave each other at any moment. As autumn left and spring arrived, they would see how they both grew fond of each other. He never even left her for a second as she would make sure that he never left. All those long evenings, he walked with her hands twirled around his arms. The calm breeze in Powai caressed them softly. When he hugged her, he would find a world that fit into his arms. When she smiled, he looked into her eyes, only to get lost in them. In the fast-paced MBA course, they found peace and solace in each other. She perfected him and completed him in all possible ways. Two dissimilar poles, an extrovert, and an introvert, an exuberant one and a calmer one, met each other complementing and balancing their personalities. Every day, as he would leave her at the door of her place and walk away, just like every day, he felt the same pounding in his heart, just like every day. At least nine more hours to see her again, and he was walking back to his place to live out that time in eternity and darkness. This repeated every single day involuntarily. Join their journey, filled with little moments of togetherness, capturing their first moments together, how they grew together, their inner turmoil, and how they loved to be in each other’s company. Witness their memories together in Mumbai and how their relationship evolves. Their first movie together, first photo, visit Marine Drive, stuck in rain moments, long winter nights, and many more await to be unraveled.

Download or read book Memories of Margaret Thatcher written by Iain Dale and published by Biteback Publishing. This book was released on 2013-05-07 with total page 851 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Margaret Thatcher is a British icon. There is no denying her place in history as Britain's greatest peacetime Prime Minister. The reaction to her death confirms that twenty-three years after leaving office she still bestrides the political scene, both in Britain and around the world, like a colossus. Margaret Thatcher was elected to Parliament in 1959. Twenty years later she became Britain's first woman Prime Minister. She achieved two further landslide election victories, making her the longest-serving British Prime Minister since Lord Liverpool. She resigned in November 1990 after eleven-and-a-half years at the pinnacle of British politics. Memories of Margaret Thatcher brings together over 200 personal reminiscences and anecdotes from those who - whether political friends or opponents, observing her from the press gallery or toiling to keep her flame alight in the constituencies - experienced close encounters with the Iron Lady. They include, among others, Ronald Reagan, Helmut Kohl, Norman Tebbit, Cecil Parkinson, Matthew Parris, Michael Howard, Paddy Ashdown, Adam Boulton, Lord Ashcroft, Sebastian Coe, Boris Johnson, Ann Widdecombe, William Hague, Sir Bernard Ingham, Barbara Taylor Bradford, Esther Rantzen, Dame Ann Leslie, David Davis, Liam Fox and many more. Amusing, revealing, sympathetic and occasionally antagonistic, these observations combine to give a unique portrait of the political and personal life of a remarkable woman. They show the deeply private and compassionate nature of a woman who will forever be known as the Iron Lady.

Download or read book The Burden of the Past written by Anna Wylegała and published by Indiana University Press. This book was released on 2020-02-11 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a century marked by totalitarian regimes, genocide, mass migrations, and shifting borders, the concept of memory in Eastern Europe is often synonymous with notions of trauma. In Ukraine, memory mechanisms were disrupted by political systems seeking to repress and control the past in order to form new national identities supportive of their own agendas. With the collapse of the Soviet Union, memory in Ukraine was released, creating alternate visions of the past, new national heroes, and new victims. This release of memories led to new conflicts and "memory wars." How does the past exist in contemporary Ukraine? The works collected in The Burden of the Past focus on commemorative practices, the politics of history, and the way memory influences Ukrainian politics, identity, and culture. The works explore contemporary memory culture in Ukraine and the ways in which it is being researched and understood. Drawing on work from historians, sociologists, anthropologists, psychologists, and political scientists, the collection represents a truly interdisciplinary approach. Taken together, the groundbreaking scholarship collected in The Burden of the Past provides insight into how memories can be warped and abused, and how this abuse can have lasting effects on a country seeking to create a hopeful future.
