DESCRIPTION:

The fall of big data and the rise of the Blockchain economy George gilder—the peerless visionary of technology and culture explains why Silicon Valley is suffering a nervous breakdown and what to expect as the post-google age dawns. The age of Google, built on big data and machine intelligence, has been an awesome era. But it is coming to an end. Google’s astonishing ability to “search and sort” attracts the entire world to its search engine and countless other goodies—videos, maps, email, Calendars, etc. Everything it offers is free, or so it seems. Instead of paying directly, users submit to advertising. The system of “Aggregate and advertise” workshops a while—if you control an empire of data center, but a market without prices strangles entrepreneurship and turns the Internet into a wasteland of advertisements. The crisis is not just economic. Silicon Valley has pretty much given up on security. The Internet fire walls supposedly protecting all those passwords and personal information have proved hopelessly permeable. The crisis cannot be solved within the current computer and network architecture. The future lies with the “cryptocosm”—the new architecture of the Blockchain and its derivatives. Enabling cryptocurrencies such as bit Co in and ether, neo and hashgraph, it will provide the Internet a secure global payments system, ending the aggregate-and-advertise age of Google. Silicon Valley, long dominated by a few giants, faces a “great unbundling,” which will disperse computer power and commerce and transform the economy and the Internet. Life after Google is almost here.

Description

An Indian politician looks back at her journey and recounts how the going got tougher with her every success, perhaps because she was a woman.

Life among the Scorpions recounts the deeply fascinating and often tumultuous events that mark thirty years of Jaya Jaitly’s political journey.

From arranging relief for victims of the 1984 Sikh riots, to joining politics under firebrand leader George Fernandes, to becoming the president of Samata Party—a key ally in the erstwhile NDA Government, Jaitly’s rise in Indian mainstream politics invited both awe and envy. But the going has been far from smooth. Trouble began with George Fernandes sacking Admiral Vishnu Bhagwat in 1998. Jaitly became the target. She was soon hounded by Tehelka’s stings—first concerning her son-in-law-to-be Ajay Jadeja and then herself in an alleged bribery case.

Eventually, Fernandes had to resign as India’s Defence Minister, despite being the best, and Jaitly quit as the Samata Party President. Meanwhile, she spiritedly fought booth capturing in Bihar as well as fellow party men’s egos, intervened and ensured the installation of the Samata government in Manipur. All this, even as she continued her parallel fight for the livelihood of craftsmen on the one hand, and conceptualized and ensured establishment of the first Dilli Haat (crafts market place) in 1994 on the other.

With all the backstories of major events in Indian politics between 1970–2000, including her experience of dealing with the Commission of Inquiry and courts regarding the Tehelka stings, the story of Jaya Jaitly makes for a riveting read. A powerful narrative on why being a woman in politics was for her akin to being surrounded by scorpions; this hard hitting memoir offers a perspective on the functioning of Indian politics from a woman’s point of view.

The endless flow of lives has been beautifully depicted in the Warli paintings. Warlis are hard working tribal people inhabiting the Maharashtra region in Western India. The two beautiful paintings show how people are busy in their daily lives. Some women are playing making a human chain, some are busy in the kitchen, yet some other are fetching water from the river. Overall, the paintings show the busy nature of lives that the tribal people are living.

Description

For ages, most of humanity has placed "life" and "death" at two ends of the existential spectrum -favoring one, fearing the other and continuously floundering between the two. Only when someone who has consciously traversed between both life and death offers to articulate some aspects of it, does humanity get a glimpse of what lies beyond the horizon of its normal perception. With his extraordinary insights, coming from a profound inner experience, Sadhguru reveals that life and death are, in fact, two sides of the same coin. It is only by embracing both that we can break the shackles of our self-made struggles and be set free. In his own words, he says: "Death is a cosmic joke. If you get the joke, when you fall on the other side, it will be wonderful. If you don't get the joke, when you are here you fear the other side and when the other side comes, you just don't know what it is about. If death becomes a laughing matter in your life, life becomes an utterly effortless process, there is no need to restrain yourself in the process of life, you can live your life absolutely, totally". "The distance between your life and death is just one breath, isn't it?" - Sad guru.
