Download or read book Take My Money Please written by Aruna Gobalan and published by Cozy Lavender Press. This book was released on 2020-12-22 with total page 90 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The universe has many selfless people—people who drop everything and go out of their way to help others in need. Aruna Gobalan isn't one of them. But that changed during the year. Amidst the global pandemic of 2020, she felt a call to give back. Aruna recognized she was one of the fortunate few to have weathered the pandemic reasonably unscathed. She and her family managed to stay healthy through the crisis, and she still had a job. She found herself feeling guilty, restless, and like she could be doing more to help. So, she turned to her mediation cushion in search of inner peace. As she contemplatively fidgeted away, guilt gave way to inspiration -- she had an epiphany. She decided to embark on a 21-day secret giving project to seek out and personally thank unsung heroes in the community. Not usually one to approach strangers on the street and hand them money, Aruna took herself out of her comfort zone and into many a comical situation. She found herself tracking down postal workers, teachers, and sanitation workers to press money into their hands -- but more importantly, to make sure they knew how appreciated they were. This book is a collection of twenty short essays, one for each day of giving. Woven with Aruna's personal experiences, memories, and observations -- some funny, some lighthearted, and all real and raw. Through these essays, Aruna hopes to entertain and inspire you to undertake similar projects of your own.

But who would have thought losing merely 15 rupees would turn his life around? His financial conflicts toss him into a life of savage waters at the mere age of thirteen. Abandoning his pleasant life back home and his first true love, he travels to Hyderabad to make a living at a time when most kids don't have to brood about anything in their carefree lives. As he advances into becoming a youth of unyielding character, fate is never easy on him. His character, tarnished by scheming minds and friends, is driven to go far away. His stint as a drama artist earns him a great name in Bombay, yet, he remains a star-crossed man always overcome with problems. His daredevil exploits of the most direful kind test the very core of his resilience, like the ocean tests Hanuman. And so he leaps... through the most devilish of paths with withered slippers, leaving a trail of his manful blood along his journey of grave peril.

Download or read book Jane Doe No More written by M. William Phelps and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2012-09-06 with total page 333 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1993, Donna Palomba was raped by a masked assailant in her own home. Yet, her story is more than a victim’s tale of physical and emotional recovery. It is a story of one woman’s hunt for justice while fending off attacks by institutions designed to defend and protect her—the police department, the local government, and a community clinging to an outrageous claim that Donna had invented the crime to cover up a sexual affair. From the night of the attack, the botched crime scene investigation, and the abuse as authorities attempted to close the case by discrediting her, Donna was left as a victim with no name and no identity. Meanwhile, there was one courageous detective, later to become chief of police, who broke a cops’ code of silence in the name of justice. As they fought on, a legal battle ensued after the Waterbury Police Department—now with media support—refused to let go of its allegations against her and admit wrongdoing. Finally, after eleven years of struggle, Donna learned the identity of her attacker from the chief of police, who explained that the DNA from the rape kit taken a decade ago had turned up a shocking match. In 2007, Donna Palomba was the subject of a special two-hour Dateline episode about her case. Suddenly, she was Jane Doe no more, launching the Jane Doe No More organization and becoming a promoter of the rights of women and victims of sexual assault. With the help of crime investigator and author M. William Phelps, this is her story.
Download or read book Silent Darkness written by Allen E. Wiesen and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2005-07-01 with total page 345 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In what appears to be an accident, a military transport making its approach to a small civilian airstrip plummets abruptly from the sky. The official Air Force report reveals that a brief disruption in the airports electrical power had occurred just before the crash. The sudden loss of runway lighting, the investigation concludes, caused the pilot to lose his bearings. It was a no brainer. Case closed! Or was it? If it had been that simple, why were the alarms resonating in the compulsive brain of Noel Parke, New York regional director of the Department of Homeland Protection? As Parke and his long-term associate Hiram Willoughby dig deeper into the events immediately preceding the crash, they begin to discover an inconsistency here and a contradiction there. Suddenly their growing suspicions gain new life as Dr. Natalie Bernard, top scientist at the Energy Warfare Complex, arrives on the scene with a shocking revelation. What had brought down the plane, she is convinced, was not the darkened runway, but an intense beam of microwave energy from an ultra-advanced weapon that she herself had designed for the Air Force. Someone, probably on her own research team, had stolen her blueprints and replicated the prototype. And now the most sophisticated weapon on the planet was in the wrong hands. In Times Square, the lights begin to flicker. But dont worry, its just a warning. The Electrician wants tons of money, or hell shut off the lights everywhere for years at a time. Noel Parke must find a way to stop him before the city plunges into a silent darkness from which it may never recover. Silent Darkness is not science fiction. It is a warning of what lies at the corner of today and tomorrow.
