Download or read book Neglected Poems written by Gulzar and published by Penguin UK. This book was released on 2012-01-19 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gulzar is regarded as one of India’s foremost Urdu poets today, renowned for his unusual perspectives on life, his keen understanding of the complexities of human relationships, and his striking imagery. After Selected Poems, a collection of some of his best poetry translated by Pavan K. Varma was extremely well received, Gulzar has chosen to present his next sixty poems in an inimitable way: labelling them Neglected Poems. ‘Neglected’ only in name, these poems represent Gulzar at his creative and imaginative best, as he meditates on nature (the mountains, the monsoon, a sparrow), delves into human psychology (when a relationship ends one is amazed to notice that ‘everything goes on exactly as it used to’), explores great cities like Mumbai, Chennai, Kolkata, Delhi and New York (‘In your town, my friend, how is it that there are no homes for ants?’), and confronts the most telling moments of everyday life.

Download or read book Unravel the Dusk written by Elizabeth Lim and published by Ember. This book was released on 2021-06-01 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the New York Times bestselling author of Six Crimson Cranes comes a fantasy filled with courtly intrigue, deceitful demons, and breathtaking gowns ... the stakes are higher than ever in this thrilling sequel to Spin the Dawn! Maia Tamarin's journey to sew the dresses of the sun, the moon, and the stars has taken a grievous toll. She returns to a kingdom on the brink of war. Edan, the boy she loves, is gone--perhaps forever--and no sooner does she set foot in the Autumn Palace than she is forced to don the dress of the sun and assume the place of the emperor's bride-to-be to keep the peace. When the emperor's rivals learn of her deception, there is hell to pay, but the war raging around Maia is nothing compared to the battle within. Ever since she was touched by the demon Bandur, she has been changing . . . glancing in the mirror to see her own eyes glowing red; losing control of her magic, her body, her mind. It's only a matter of time before Maia loses herself completely, and in the meantime she will stop at nothing to find Edan, protect her family, and bring lasting peace to her country.

Download or read book It s a Bama Thing written by Rob Lewis and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2022-08-23 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book is a humorous comparison on growing up in Alabama to a young athlete leaving home, undergoing, or enduring “The Process” and “growing up” in Crimson Tide country. It explores what it’s like to be a “Bama” fan...its experiences, the friendships, ups, and downs, trials, and tribulations of wearing the crimson and white. So, what’s it like to go anywhere in the country and hear “Roll Tide” loudly proclaimed by another fan? It’s the society of the “A”, the houndstooth coat and hat, about title town and eighteen football national championships (and counting!). Whether you’re from Alabama or not, if you’re a fan, you can relate to this story (haters beware!). At a Bama game, participation can be a raucous occasion, full of pageantry, passion, purpose, and pride. Big Al dances, the crowd feverishly roars out “Roll Tide” at every venue. It’s an event! Do you wear the colors? Do you bleed crimson and white (admittedly, difficult to do)? Have you declared your allegiance to the crimson “A” or the houndstooth pattern (usually happens at birth)? Do you tremble with excitement and delight whenever a team from title town plays (preparing your voice to erupt with “Roll Tide”)? Then far be it from me not to recommend this book as a good read. You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, you’ll wonder and say to yourself, “Hmmm.” Hey, it’s relatable. Get comfortable, pull up a chair or sit up in bed, read and soak it in. I mean really...it’s a Bama thing!

Download or read book Visions of the Cosmos written by Various authors and published by Self-Publish. This book was released on 2024-06-30 with total page 155 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Space Opera is a sub-genre of science fiction that emphasizes space warfare, melodramatic adventure, interplanetary battles, and chivalric romance. Using larger-than-life characters, dramatic settings, and sophisticated technology, space opera transports readers into the expanses of a frequently war-torn galaxy where the stakes are as high as the outer limits of the imagination allow. This collection, "Visions of the Cosmos," curates three stellar examples of space opera that not only explore diverse aspects of this expansive genre but also reflect its evolution from simple pulp fiction to complex narratives that address deep philosophical questions. Featured Stories Box-garden This intriguing tale unfolds in a casual setting—a bar—where the narrator meets a man with unusually large ears, obscured by his view of a TV commercial. The story elegantly weaves a social critique of American advertising, equating the nurturing of bonsai in Japan to the manipulative nurturing of consumer behavior through ads. It's a clever juxtaposition that adds a unique, earth-bound flavor to the cosmic scale typical of space operas. F.O.B. Venus This adventurous tale from Nelson S. Bond introduces us to Mr. Lancelot Biggs, a new crew member aboard the space freighter Saturn whose incompetence leads to a series of near-disastrous mishaps. The story infuses traditional space opera elements with humor and unexpected twists, culminating in a miraculous incident where cosmic rays transform worthless cargo into valuable gold, illustrating the unpredictability of space and the fortunes it can hold. The Comet-Drivers In a dramatic narrative filled with cosmic stakes, this story follows the Chief of the Interstellar Patrol on a daring mission to prevent a colossal comet from annihilating the galaxy. Hamilton’s tale is packed with action, heroism, and sacrifice, encapsulating the essence of space opera with its detailed depiction of interstellar warfare and moral dilemmas faced by those who guard the cosmos. Influence in Film and Comics: Space opera has significantly influenced other media, notably in blockbuster films like "Star Wars" and series such as "Star Trek," which mirror the genre’s themes of adventure, moral conflict, and the human spirit. In comics, epic sagas like "Saga" by Brian K. Vaughan and Fiona Staples further explore these themes, proving the enduring appeal of space opera’s blend of fantastical escapism and reflective storytelling. Conclusion: "Visions of the Cosmos" offers a gateway into the exhilarating world of space opera, presenting readers with stories that are not only entertaining but also provoke thought about our place in the universe and the choices we make. Whether you're drawn to the quiet reflections of life's daily dramas or the grandiose battles among the stars, this collection promises to ignite your imagination and whisk you off to worlds unknown. Extensively illustrated eBook.
