Download or read book My Life A Bumpy Ride written by Deependra Tiwari and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2019-10-26 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since very little in our lives seems to be making sense, we could take a sip down the madness lane. The book is a blast of humour meld with delicious ironies.The narrator stitches madness into his bumpy stories on the premise, "You have only a little spark of madness. You must not lose it." The fiction work palms off madness as a virtue, as priceless as sensibility. Although present in a tiny core, the sense of madness very often misses a lasting chance. The narrative dives deep enough to prove that if wisdom ever existed in the likeness of a double-edged sword, its two edges would be none other than the madness and sensibility. The narrator fly opens a narrow window to play mockery at the sad state of affairs. The serious aspects of the life of a middle - aged man, goes truly underrated. The writer seeks to add a fresh perspective to the typical problematics that are more than one in a day-to-day life. Though written in the format of diary entries, the sensual shock that each following line sends down the spine is inconceivable, until read. The characters inside the book are those people who will stay with you, even long after you keep the book down. As the story progresses, one character turns out to be a greater evil than the other. Even so, in a rare event a reader who duly sympathizes with the characters, after fleeting moments, would withdraw his sympathy and curse them instead.The writer upends on the paper, with the alarming yet promising hope that many episodes of bumpy rides are yet to be relished. So, curiouser and curiouser!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most of our time is spent with the outer life -- our jobs, our friends and families, our hobbies, or our health. We spend much less time with the inner life, that place of feelings and thoughts, anger and love, hopes and dreams. When we do spend time with the inner life, it can often be overwhelming and disruptive, taking over our lives with feelings of hopelessness and fear or with endless ruminations about our past and worries about our future. In the practices of this book, we learn how to make friends with our inner life, to reconnect with ourselves, others, our world, and with God. We learn to have productive conversations with three specific inner voices: our separated self who lives in a world of scarcity and fear, our connected self who lives in an expansive world of abundance and compassion, and the watcher who stands apart from all the conflicting conversations going on in the inner life. The watcher decides how then shall we live. With a little time and some practice, we can bring our inner turmoil to a peaceful resolution and live a life that is safe, joyful, focused, and filled with compassion.

Book excerpt: Ralph, the boy with a dream, is not aware that his determination will be tested to its limits. The early thrills do not give him a clue of what's in store. Just when he thinks he's got it all under control he nearly hits rock bottom. He is about to pack his bags when experienced elders put sense into him, and he begins to see that there might be light at the end of the tunnel. Only later, some years into his adult life, he seems to have sussed out that it's not all hunky-dory and that possibly it might be a case of `the enemy within'. It still hasn't sunk into him that it's not about fair play but about a different sort of a game. Are there no rules to play by, or can some always play foul? Ralph unravels this mind-blowing tale of uncertainties and of life at the cross-roads in absorbing descriptions. `The story is a gripping tale of human endeavour and survival,' says an experienced Indian psychologist. `The situations described,' says an American journalist, `offer guideposts to Managers floundering at the deep end of decision-making.' `It's a double-decker inspirational package for training,' says a British educationist.
