Download or read book Keepers of the Kalachakra written by Ashwin Sanghi and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2022-06-24 with total page 374 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A seemingly random selection of heads of state are struck down like flies by unnamed killers who work with the clinical efficiency of butchers. Except that they leave no trace of their methods. Welcome back to the shadowy and addictive world of Ashwin Sanghi. After The Rozabal Line, Chanakya's Chant, The Krishna Key and The Sialkot Saga, Ashwin Sanghi returns at last with another quietly fearsome tale-this time of men who guard the 'Kalachakra' or The Wheel of Time. Sanghi describes a world of people at war with one another-a boomeranging conflict of faiths that results in acts of such slow and planned human cruelty that they defy human imagination. Caught in the midst of this madness is Vijay Sundaram, a geek scientist who is only dimly aware that the wider sky outside his laboratory is stretched taut and close to being torn apart by forces that he wants simply to have nothing to do with. But events conspire to propel Vijay into the labyrinth of Milesian Labs, a centre of research deep in the forested hills of Uttarakhand. What he stumbles upon is a primordial clue to a galactic secret that could accelerate the downward spiral of humankind. Trapped and wholly unaware of his actual foe, Vijay races against time to save humanity-and himself. Zigzagging from Rama's crossing to Lanka to the birth of Buddhism; from the origin of Wahhabism to the Einsteinian gravitational wave-detectors of LIGO; from the charnel-grounds of naked tantric practitioners to the bespoke suits of the Oval Office; and from the rites of Minerva, shrouded in frankincense, to the smoke-darkened ruins of Nalanda, Keepers of the Kalachakra is a journey that will have you gasping for breath-but one that you cannot abandon till all the pieces of the jigsaw come together. Till you come up gobsmack against an end that you simply did not see coming.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: About The Book Orphaned at the age of five and disowned by his adoptive parents at seventeen, Sean Brignac discovered the truth about successful cons early in his life. Most people believe they cannot be cheated, and when they really are, they tend to live in denial. Thus, he created Prince Khalid, son of the Saudi King, and a philanthropist whose opulent lifestyle and infamous tantrums would reverberate through LA, Miami, Hawaii, western Europe, and Dubai for the next three decades. When the Prince of Fraud was sentenced to prison in 2019 for eighteen years, his exploits from his last global fraud were estimated at eight million dollars and counting. Based on real-life characters and incidences, ‘A Language of Lies’ revolves around the rise of an illustrious con artist; his lies, insecurities, attempts at establishing meaningful relationships, and the inevitable fall; while putting under scanner the role of his friends, collaborators and his victims. About The Author Saugata, currently a deputy general manager with the Reserve Bank of India, has served in Mumbai, the North-East India and Kolkata. His first book of short stories ‘They Go to Sleep’ (2019) has been a bestseller and of late been included in the undergraduate syllabus of a private university in Punjab. A former educator, public speaker and contributor to various magazines, Saugata has been editing a Bengali webzine of humorous writing ‘Sorosee’ since February 2021.

Download or read book Gujarmal Modi written by Sonu Bhasin and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2022-02-10 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The year was 1932, and a young man had just been banished from the state of Patiala. His crime? He had refused a glass of wine in the celebratory party at the Patiala Palace. It had not mattered to the maharaja that the man was a teetotaller. The ban proved to be a boon as the thirty-year-old left Patiala and created one of the largest business empires in India. Looking for a new location to set up his factory, Gujarmal zeroed in on a sleepy village, Begumabad, on the outskirts of Delhi. It is here that the seeds of the Modi Group were sown. Starting with a sugar mill, he established a conglomerate with businesses including tyres, textiles, copy machines, cigarettes, pharmaceuticals, oil and steel, to name a few. This is the story of a resolute, ambitious young man who saw adversity as an opportunity and went on to create history. In the process, he set up some of the finest factories, created an industrial town that was way ahead of its time, generated large-scale employment and gave Indian manufacturing new wings. Gujarmal's ten per cent allocation from earnings towards social responsibility, long before it became a corporate buzzword, and human resource initiatives became benchmarks in the history of Indian business. A treasure trove of learnings for modern-day entrepreneurs, this book celebrates the man and his vision, grit, determination and spirit of entrepreneurship.
