Book excerpt: It was the mid-nineties. Somewhere in 1995, as I recollect now, my trips to Banaras were frequent. My company wanted me to develop a business in the carpet industry. The industry was spread in the interiors of Uttar Pradesh, mainly in Mirzapur and Bhadohi. A fast way of reaching there was to go via Varanasi. Unlike today, there was only one airline service provider, and that was Indian Airlines. Like a nomad, I landed on my first trip without knowing how to reach the destinations with few addresses. Working on limited travel budgets, I checked in a small hotel in the center of Banaras. As I came out of the hotel, I wandered in the gullies, enjoying the street food of Banaras. The city was hospitable and welcomed a newcomer like me. For many trips I used shared Armada Jeeps to reach my destination. Traveling in those shared jeeps was a memorable experience. While a standard Jeep would accommodate six people, they would load twelve people with the driver almost hanging outside and just about maneuvering the steering wheel. The fact was, it all worked. Coming back to business, while I started to work with individual carpet companies there, it was apparent we needed some representative there to manage the business. I connected with Anoop through familiar industry friends, who ran his textile chemical business from Bhadohi itself. Over the next two years, the business picked up. Anoop and I became very close. For the next few trips, I stayed in Bhadohi itself as it saved a lot of travel time, and Anoop would bring food from his home to ensure I was comfortable. When he would be in Mumbai, he would stay at Hotel Manama next to VT station, and sometimes we both would enjoy breakfast at the famous Pancham Puriwala. In the years I was there with the company, we were satisfied with the progress we made in developing a new business segment. I left that company and moved on, and with me, all my contacts and friends also moved on. I lost touch with Anoop too. But a couple of years back, I was walking on the streets of the Fort area, saw Hotel Manama and Hotel Pancham Puriwala; I remembered Anoop and our association. I came to know later that Anoop was no more. He had passed away at a very young age due to a heart attack, and his father had wound up the business Anoop had started. It was with subdued melancholy that I remembered Anoop and the time we had spent together. We all have such a vast gallery of images that stays with us for years. Sometimes, it makes sense to relive those moments, even if it means doing it in dreams. My book Yearning to live those days is a compilation of short stories, and is purely a work of fiction. These have been inspired by the many incidents and observations over a period, coupled with thoughts and imagination. The stories are all about relationships, emotions, and love in different shades. I thank all those who will read these narrations.
Download or read book Homo Irrealis written by André Aciman and published by Farrar, Straus and Giroux. This book was released on 2021-01-19 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The New York Times–bestselling author of Find Me and Call Me by Your Name returns to the essay form with his collection of thoughts on time, the creative mind, and great lives and works Irrealis moods are a category of verbal moods that indicate that certain events have not happened, may never happen, or should or must or are indeed desired to happen, but for which there is no indication that they will ever happen. Irrealis moods are also known as counterfactual moods and include the conditional, the subjunctive, the optative, and the imperative—all best expressed in this book as the might-be and the might-have-been. One of the great prose stylists of his generation, André Aciman returns to the essay form in Homo Irrealis to explore what time means to artists who cannot grasp life in the present. Irrealis moods are not about the present or the past or the future; they are about what might have been but never was but could in theory still happen. From meditations on subway poetry and the temporal resonances of an empty Italian street to considerations of the lives and work of Sigmund Freud, C. P. Cavafy, W. G. Sebald, John Sloan, Éric Rohmer, Marcel Proust, and Fernando Pessoa and portraits of cities such as Alexandria and St. Petersburg, Homo Irrealis is a deep reflection on the imagination’s power to forge a zone outside of time’s intractable hold.

As we delight in being with Him, we are filled to overflowing with contentment and love that propel us into an entirely new way of being, one in which every act of service and every encounter with the people around us arise from a heart at rest.

Download or read book Learning to Live From the Acts written by Eugenia Price and published by Turner Publishing Company. This book was released on 2021-04-27 with total page 98 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is no way to understand the Book of Acts without affirming the existence of a dynamic and living Spirit. Eugenia Price embodies this Spirit in words which make The Acts a joyous revelation. Something extraordinary happened to the men and women in this New Testament book, ending their grief and filling them with sudden courage. From the moment they poured into the streets on Pentecost to the time of Paul’s last words from prison, Jesus energized these early Christians from within. Their lives reveal the triumphant story of how the church began to “happen,” and in those first conflict-torn, joy-filled days we are able to see how it was meant to be, even now, for those of us who call ourselves Christians. Miss Price writes, “Why it is not this way for us now, or why it is, at best, only this way now and then, I feel we must decide. I find little or no doctrine in the Acts, but I do find life, and great and simple helps in learning to live it.” Learning to Live from the Acts is a sequel to the author’s book, Learning to Live From the Gospels.

Download or read book Machine Learning written by Marco Gori and published by Morgan Kaufmann. This book was released on 2017-11-20 with total page 582 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Machine Learning: A Constraint-Based Approach provides readers with a refreshing look at the basic models and algorithms of machine learning, with an emphasis on current topics of interest that includes neural networks and kernel machines. The book presents the information in a truly unified manner that is based on the notion of learning from environmental constraints. While regarding symbolic knowledge bases as a collection of constraints, the book draws a path towards a deep integration with machine learning that relies on the idea of adopting multivalued logic formalisms, like in fuzzy systems. A special attention is reserved to deep learning, which nicely fits the constrained- based approach followed in this book. This book presents a simpler unified notion of regularization, which is strictly connected with the parsimony principle, and includes many solved exercises that are classified according to the Donald Knuth ranking of difficulty, which essentially consists of a mix of warm-up exercises that lead to deeper research problems. A software simulator is also included. - Presents fundamental machine learning concepts, such as neural networks and kernel machines in a unified manner - Provides in-depth coverage of unsupervised and semi-supervised learning - Includes a software simulator for kernel machines and learning from constraints that also includes exercises to facilitate learning - Contains 250 solved examples and exercises chosen particularly for their progression of difficulty from simple to complex

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Higher Learning for Higher Activities is the story of a young man who joins the military and, shortly after, loses his father. His life is changed forever from this sudden loss of the greater stability his father gave him, and his military career and his marriage go down in flames. Coping with life becomes more and more difficult. His only solace is the freedom the road gives him, and hitchhiking becomes a way of life and a search to find anything to fill the emotional vacancy in his soul. One day, through a series of unbelievable coincidences, he finds something that holds his attention and begins a four decades-long journey that eventually leads to an unveiling he never could have imagined. Only in retrospect can he see the steps that brought him to a place in his life he didn't have a clue he was headed toward. And when he arrived, he found the difficulty in his acceptance was his own intellect. His learning had been, as his teacher stressed, step-by-step, and so much had to be left behind to make way for the new. There were many times he thought he was a slacker, but he never gave up. His love of the search and his perseverance finally pay off, and he learns the truth of the Law of Laws.
