Book excerpt: One unmistakable feature of the Indian highway is the presence of these brightly decorated trucks that ply the country's roads. The men who drive these trucks spend long hours on the road and can be away from their families for weeks at a time, so their trucks act as a second home and they take great pride in them. In Horn Please photographer Dan Eckstein travelled across India's byzantine and burgeoning road network documenting these elaborate trucks - representing a blinding mash up of new and old India.

Download or read book Horn OK Please HOPping to Conclusions written by Kartik Iyengar and published by . This book was released on 2011-03-31 with total page 269 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Horn OK Please (HOP) depicts India from the perspective of an unusual individual, one who is a successful executive in the Indian corporate sector. The book is targeted toward the educated urban class, young working professionals, NRIs, and anyone who wants to know what the outlook and life of the urban working professional is in India today. It offers hope, portraying a movement beyond the mere struggle for existence, a freedom from the mundane and an aspiration for a better society underlined with a passion for driving coupled with a lust for life. It delves into the joys of crass commercialism, a dream of long drives lived through the book and culminating in a positive view of India as a nation that will be an eye-opener for the world. Although not a travelogue in the true sense, the book illustrates a journey of sorts with a large part of the book actually written on a road trip while also including reflections from various stages of Kartik's life. Every chapter begins with a sarcastic poetic snippet, goes on to set the context, present his points of view and culminates in a warped moralistic end from a virtual community. Through the book Kartik uses techniques like feigned ignorance, unacceptable slang (mostly understood only by a handful of social media geeks) to ask rudimentary, thought provoking and sometimes merely provoking questions. The hopefulness is, however evident in every kilometer of the book which looks at the goodness and prosperity that is clearly visible across a booming India. The second book is already in progress and is titled "Horn OK Please The SCROTUM Scrolls".The narratives range from his experiences in adventure sports to incidents involving hospital visits. There are many accounts from foreigners who have traveled across the country. In contrast there is an account of someone who portrays himself as a moron with a low IQ, also addressing readers in the same vein while taking them on a journey that shows them his perspective of the country, eloquently disproving moronic notions along the way. This book will shatter the illusion of docile corporate workers in a nation that is considered to be humorless, self-effacing and living in its past glory.

Download or read book The Passover Guest written by Susan Kusel and published by Holiday House. This book was released on 2024-01-02 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Muriel assumes her family is too poor to hold a Passover Seder this year--but an act of kindness and a mysterious magician change everything. It's the Spring of 1933 in Washington D.C., and the Great Depression is hitting young Muriel's family hard. Her father has lost his job, and her family barely has enough food most days, let alone for a Passover Seder. They don't even have any wine to leave out for the prophet Elijah's ceremonial cup. With no feast to rush home to, Muriel wanders by the Lincoln Memorial, where she encounters a mysterious magician in whose hands juggled eggs become lit candles. After she makes a kind gesture, he encourages her to run home for her Seder, and when she does, she encounters a holiday miracle, a bountiful feast of brisket, soup, and matzah. But who was this mysterious benefactor? When Muriel sees Elijah's ceremonial cup is empty, she has a good idea. This fresh retelling of the classic I.L. Peretz story, best known through Uri Shulevitz's 1973 adaptation The Magician, has been sumptuously illustrated by noted graphic novelist Sean Rubin, who based his art on photographs of D.C. in the 1930s. An author note with information about the holiday is included.

Book excerpt: In A Distant Land, Apprehensions About The Future Of Their Homeland The past few weeks saw an unraveling in Afghanistan that was as striking for the speed at which it took place as the overnight transformation in the mood of the people of the war-torn country. The emotions captured among Afghans within the country and other parts of the world have ranged from anger to fear to despair as the Taliban entrenched themselves. In our Cover Story, we catch up with some Afghan nationals who came to Bhubaneswar for higher studies to secure a better future for themselves and their families. They have watched the happenings unfold from a distance, but the impact has been devastating. As one of the students, Ehsanullah puts it, they don’t know what the future holds. But they still dare to dream. In CityZen, we feature Madhusmita Nayak and her inspiring story as she goes about breaking the proverbial glass ceiling. She talks about her days as a student and the support from her parents that saw her move to the UAE for what would eventually become an inspiring career. The column also profiles Odia-origin boy Krish, who is playing one of the lead roles in the BBC series Silverpoint. Fond of acting since his school days, he impressed his teachers enough for them to suggest that he take up professional acting. Krish and his mother open up about his journey so far. Often, one’s passion can be poles apart from their chosen profession. Perhaps nobody exemplifies this better than Manas Ranjan Samal. An officer of the Odisha Administrative Service (OAS), Samal is passionate about philately, or collecting stamps. Twenty-one years after he chose this hobby, he is still going strong.He is our third CityZen for this edition. Amidst all the restrictions it brought upon us, one positive habit that Covid reinforced is that of reading. In a special feature, we speak to a few book enthusiasts on how reading helped the ride over what has been one of the most challenging periods in recent history. One of the joys of driving across India is discovering the colourful messages and slogans that adorn trucks. A home away from home for those who drive these heavy vehicles, these. have been described as moving works of art. Breastfeeding is important for the good health of mothers as well as new borns but it is an area that is also surrounded by misinformation. We bust some common myths through a Q&A article in our Health section
