A story of loss on many levels, From My Mother is a moving book that transforms suffering into art and inspiration.

This edition we are offering is a special edition.This year we are dedicating our magazine to our Kind and Compassionate spiritual leader H.H.The Dalai Lama in honour of his grand 80th birthday. We are including some of his inspiring quotes which illuminate like a light in the darkness and articles to offer our gratitude to him. Our magazine is a mix of updates, creative expressions and talented work of the students. As student editors, our time has been a period of joy, learning, satisfaction and accomplishment combined with the challenge of creating a good book. These beautiful memories will last forever and they are truly meaningful and worth holding onto. We have experienced self growth alongside the development of this magazine. We thoroughly enjoyed editing, collecting and putting together the articles here. One can see the laughter, joy and struggle of students from thisinstitution in the pictures. This year we are privileged to have had great opportunity to learn the knowledge based on Buddhism, during a two day programme by H.E. Tromthok rinpoche. Medical students studied anatomy and physiology and diagnosis by doctors from Emory University and astro.students studied introduction to astrophysics from Sir Sidhu la. We also marked the success of the 2nd International Body, Mind and Life Conference which was started with the blessing of His Holiness the 14th Dalai ma. This year’s greatest achievement was the visit of the honourable Health Minister of Himachal Pradesh on our institute’s founding anniversary. It’s been a wonderful experience to work alongside a team of great minds and wonderful personalities and this magazine would not have been possible without the commitment, creativity and hardwork from all the members of the editorial team headed by our dignified advisors Dr Namdol Lhamo, Dr Pema Tsetso and TASP Tenzin Loden who has always guided us at every step of the way, with ever lasting patience and constant encouragement. Our sincere gratitude goes to our beloved advisors for their persistent support and guidance. A magazine or any kind of work is a product of a team work. From the director who provided us the opportunity and administrator with the financial support and students for the essays and advisors and editors to the printing press. These all contribute to our magazine and for which we are truly grateful. I would like to thank our friends for their creative articles which serves as the heart of the magazine. The magazine usually serve as a memento as we can carry it with us as we move on to our different chapters of our lives. We hope that this magazine will hold a treasured and cherished place by our readers. Tenzin Saldon 19th medical batch Editor

Book excerpt: Welcome to the re-opening of a used bookstore in East Tennessee, Bind Me Again. Books are piled high and the shelves are fully stocked. Garnet Stone hoped the remodel would make the bookstore tidy, but her boss Jane is proving to be as messy as the previous owner. Garnet undergoes a secret mission to declutter the store, which isn’t easy with two cats running the place. Jacob Rome overshadows Garnet’s concerns. The freelance editor has moved to Sevier Oak and causes problems with the locals. When he brings books for trade-in, Garnet and Jane find a death certificate tucked inside. The deceased is a missing person from twenty years ago, and the mystery intensifies when someone murders Jacob behind the store. Garnet and Jane take it upon themselves to save the bookshop’s reputation - and of course, to satisfy their curiosity. Solving the homicide is a challenge as everyone seems to be lying, including the dead man. In the end, unearthing the truth will reveal much more than simply who murdered Jacob Rome.

Download or read book Chinese Male Homosexualities written by Travis S. K. Kong and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2010-07-13 with total page 470 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents a groundbreaking exploration of masculinities and homosexualities amongst Chinese gay men. It provides a sociological account of masculinity, desire, sexuality, identity and citizenship in contemporary Chinese societies, and within the constellation of global culture. Kong reports the results of an extensive ethnographic study of contemporary Chinese gay men in a wide range of different locations including mainland China, Hong Kong and the Chinese overseas community in London, showing how Chinese gay men live their everyday lives. Relating Chinese male homosexuality to the extensive social and cultural theories on gender, sexuality and the body, postcolonialism and globalisation, the book examines the idea of queer space and numerous 'queer flows' – of capital, bodies, ideas, images, and commodities – around the world. The book concludes that different gay male identities – such as the conspicuously consuming memba in Hong Kong, the urban tongzhi, the 'money boy' in China and the feminised 'golden boy' in London – emerge in different locations, and are all caught up in the transnational flow of queer cultures which are at once local and global.

Book excerpt: “A savvy, smart, and funny book about embracing your body and taking control of your destiny.” —Kathleen Glasgow, author of the New York Times bestselling novel Girl in Pieces “Bold, unique, and completely original…A debut both spirited and inventive, much like its indomitable heroine.” —Laurie Elizabeth Flynn, author of Firsts From debut author Kelly DeVos comes an unforgettable story about fierce fashion, pursuing your dreams, and loving yourself at any size. FAT Cookie Vonn’s dreams include getting out of Phoenix and becoming the next great fashion designer. But in the world of fashion, being fat is a cardinal sin. It doesn’t help that she’s constantly compared to her supermodel mother—and named after a dessert. Cookie scores a trip to New York to pitch her design portfolio, but her plans are put on standby when she’s declared too fat to fly. When she finally arrives, she finds she’s been replaced by her ultrathin rival. Cookie vows to lose weight, get out of the friend zone with her crush, and put her dreams back on track. SKINNY Cookie expected sunshine and rainbows, but nothing about her new life is turning out like she planned. When the fashion designer of the moment offers her what she’s always wanted—an opportunity to live and study in New York—she finds herself in a world full of people more interested in putting women down than dressing them up. Her designs make waves, but her real dream of creating great clothes for people of all sizes seems to grow more distant by the day. Will she realize that she’s always had the power to make her own dreams come true? “A realistic portrayal of the frustrations of weight loss and size acceptance…sex, body positivity, and ambition. VERDICT A strong choice for most YA shelves.” —School Library Journal “Packed with smart zingers about what it feels like to be fat and have a body that people criticize…Also a fairytale romp through the New York City fashion world.” —Carolyn Mackler, B&N Teen Blog
