Download or read book Delhi written by Sam Miller and published by Macmillan + ORM. This book was released on 2010-07-20 with total page 437 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A provocative portrait of one of the world's largest cities, delving behind the tourist facade to illustrate the people and places beyond the realms of the conventional travelogue Sam Miller set out to discover the real Delhi, a city he describes as "India's dreamtown—and its purgatory." He treads the city streets, making his way through the city and its suburbs, visiting its less celebrated destinations—Nehru Place, Rohini, Ghazipur, and Gurgaon—which most writers and travelers ignore. His quest is the here and now, the unexpected, the overlooked, and the eccentric. All the obvious ports of call make appearances: the ancient monuments, the imperial buildings, and the celebrities of modern Delhi. But it is through his encounters with Delhi's people—from a professor of astrophysics to a crematorium attendant, from ragpickers to members of a police brass band—that Miller creates this richly entertaining portrait of what Delhi means to its residents, and of what the city is becoming. Miller, like so many of the people he meets, is a migrant in one of the world's fastest growing megapolises, and the Delhi he depicts is one whose future concerns us all. He possesses an intense curiosity; he has an infallible eye for life's diversities, for all the marvelous and sublime moments that illuminate people's lives. This is a generous, original, humorous portrait of a great city; one that unerringly locates the humanity beneath the mundane, the unsung, and the unfamiliar.

Download or read book Borderlands written by Pradeep Damodaran and published by Hachette India. This book was released on 2017-02-25 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For most residents of India?s bustling metros and big towns, nationality and citizenship are privileges that are often taken for granted. The country?s periphery, however, is dotted with sleepy towns and desolate villages whose people, simply by having more in common with citizens of neighbouring nations than with their own, have to prove their Indian identity every day. It is these specks on the country?s map that Pradeep Damodaran rediscovers as he travels across India?s borders for a little more than a year, experiencing life in far-flung areas that rarely feature in mainstream conversations. In Borderlands, he recounts his encounters with the war-weary fishermen of Dhanushkodi at the southernmost tip of Tamil Nadu, who live in fear both of the Indian Coast Guard and the Sri Lankan navy; farmers in Hussainiwala, a village on Punjab?s border with Pakistan, who are unwilling to build concrete houses for fear of them being destroyed in the ever looming war; Tamil traders of Moreh, a town straddling the Manipur?Myanmar border, who pay bribes to at least ten different militant organizations so they can safely conduct their business; and ex-servicemen in Campbell Bay who were resettled there three generations ago and have long been forgotten by the mainland. From Minicoy in Lakshadweep to Taki in West Bengal, Tawang in Arunachal Pradesh to Raxaul in Bihar, Damodaran?s compelling narrative reinforces the idea that, in India, a land of contrasts and contradictions, beauty and diversity, conflict comes in many forms.

Book excerpt: “ROMBOY-THE REFORMER” is the story of Mr. Romboy son of Mr.Rajashekar a scientist at the Vismaya Space Research Organization, in Thiruvananthapuram,. His mother Mrs.Teressa hails from Belton Village in England near the birth place of Sir.Isaac Newton. Mr.Romboy has powers to control atomic bond and to bring back the dead ones alive by going back to time. He got the powers through meditation and attuning by a saint, Acharya Sachidananda who runs an ashram in Manali, Himachal Pradesh, India, who discovered “Samyam Yoga”. Mr.Romboy can travel through air in a capsule made by bonding the atoms in the air. The story has many incidents like flying a train through air, moving a mountain from “Cocober Islands”,a place near Madagascar to California in USA, travelling in flying sourcer like vehicles called dome scooters, dome cars, dome buses, dome carriers and dome city. Of these dome city is huge in size, about three square kilometres in area. It is a self contained habitat which can travel to outer space and remain there indefinitely. The invention of Newrom Electromagnetic Force Machine (NEF Machine) by Newrom Atomic Particle Reseach Institute(NAPRI) in UK, helped in replicating the powers of Mr.Romboy. At an exhibition conducted by NAPRI in Manali, ten human beings were converted to energy form and while reconverting them to the original form, an accident occurred and a new form of human being namely Spearhumans who can fly like a bat and move like a rocket were born. Spearhumans gave birth to Sackshumans and their offsprings are Microsacks humans, who also can fly like a bat and move like a rocket. Mr.Romboy and his wife Mrs.Sofia from Argentina and his son Mr. Romsten possessing similar powers has many rivals like Mr, Lee Pin Ching of Philippines, Jin Shan Ho, Guru Feng Hu and others of China. They also possesses powers like Mr. Romboy to control atomic bond and they travel in spherical shaped vehicles parked inside a cave under the mountain. The vehicle comes out of the cave by first bursting the mountain and after they emerged out, the bursted pieces re-join as if nothing had happened. Mr Romboy succeeded in persuading all nations to give up military related responsibilities and assets to the United Nations and use the money saved for human development. Thus Mr.Romboy reformed the world order by creating a Universal Central Government and banning all nations from possessing Military equipments.The world was however destroyed by bursting into pieces that turned to ashes. Later Mr.Romboy recreated the world by going back to time. He saved the life of 7.5 billion human beings who were temporarily shifted to the newly discovered star namely “Zorsky Star” and its planet” Maxearth” at a distance of 130 Million kilometers from earth. The story touches upon travel to a world within an atom similar to our world but of microscopic form. Human beings also discovered a huge world and huge creatures of sizes beyond our imagination. The story also touch upon the world of “Ghost” that live by absorbing our energy.Human beings were also successful in inventing flying machines called “Humsflier” that has changed the world of travel and habitation.The story ends with Mr. Romboy deciding to devote his life for research in physics. ---------------
