आधी सदी पहले सन 1937 में 'चकल्लस' चबूतरे पर यह 'नवाबी मसनद' आबाद हुई थी। गुलजार सड़के जिस मकान में मेरे 'चकल्लस' अख़बार का दफ्तर था, उसके नीचे ही खुदाबख्श तंबाकूवाले, मौला पहलवान और उनके साझेदार प्यारे साहब ड्राइवर की बर्फ की दुकान थी और कुछ सब्जी फरोश कुनबों की दुकानें भी थीं। खुदाबख्श के बेटे कादिर बक्श बड़ी रंगीन तबीयत के आदमी थे, कबाडिनो के कन्हैया। 'चकल्लस' दफ्तर के नीचे इन दुकानों और फुटपाथ की दुनिया। कादिर मियां की मस्ती से खुशरंग रहती थी। मौला पहलवान और प्यारे साहब भी मुजस्सिम याजूज़-माज़ूज़ की जोड़ी ही थे। एक कुश्तिया पहलवान तो दूसरे अक्ल के अखाड़े के खलीफा। 'अवध अखबार' की खबरों के परखचे उड़ाये जाते, आसपास की बातों पर होने वाली बहसों में लालबुझक्कडी लाजिक के ऐसे-ऐसे कमाल नजर आते कि दिल बाग-बाग हो हो जाता था। 'नवाबी मसनद' अपने समय में लोकप्रिय हुई। निराला जी इसके नियमित पाठक और प्रशंसक थे। आशा करता हूं कि पचास वर्षों के बाद आज भी पाठक इसे पसंद करेंगे। (भूमिका से)

DESCRIPTION:
Tales of the Nine Planets. Navagraha Purana chronicles in fascinating detail the birth, life and glory of the Nine Planets, the powerful astral deities who are the ultimate arbiters of man’s destiny. This compelling narrative paints a delightfully intimate portrait of the Navagrahas. Surya subdues his raging heat to please his beloved Samjna. Chandra lusts after his guru’s wife and is cursed to wane each month. Kuja emerges from a drop of perspiration on Shiva’s brow. Budha marries Ila, who is his wife for one month and a prince in the next. Brhaspati forgives his wife’s adultery and curses an amorous apsara to be born as a monkey. Usana becomes Sukra when he is swallowed by a furious Shiva. Sanaischara requests the Trimurti to ensure he inspire fear in all living beings. Rahu and Ketu wreak their vengeance on Surya and Chandra by swallowing them. In an irresistible medley of drama, romance, humour and devotion, Navagraha Purana entertains and informs as it asserts that no one is exempt from the implacable influence of the Nine Planets.

Navigating India is a non-preachy, non-prescriptive and unbiased account of the possibilities that define India amidst magnificent paradoxes. It provides an experiential compass through first-hand accounts and insights from some of India’s most respected names in business, public governance, diplomacy and intelligentsia. It lucidly explains the frequent and vital intersections between the government and business, culture and modernity, demographics and democracy—all of which are vital to understanding India. The book postulates the heights India might reach by harnessing technology and with a collaborative political, regulatory and business response to the rapidly evolving needs and aspirations of young, impatient Indians. Bharat Joshi offers a candid, accessible and objective guide to a complex, albeit compelling, economy.

DESCRIPTION:
The Naxalite Movement in India started in 1967 from a small village and gradually spread over large areas of the country, particularly in the states of Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand, Bihar, Odisha, Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra and West Bengal. It was described by the UPA government as the biggest threat to the internal security of the country. The movement has since suffered setbacks but nevertheless retains the capacity to launch lethal strikes and continues to pose a formidable challenge to India’s democratic structure. The Naxalite Movement in India, now in a revised and updated edition, traces the Naxalite movement from its inception to its metamorphosis into a predominantly Maoist movement in a historical sweep.

‘नीले घोड़े का सवार’ सुप्रसिद्ध ऐतिहासिक उपन्यासकार डा. राजेन्द्रमोहन भटनागर कृत प्रातः स्मरणीय महाराणा प्रताप को लेकर लिखा गया अन्यतम उपन्यास है। यह उपन्यास अनवरत शोध का परिणाम है। आपको बहुत कुछ नया ज्ञात हुआ और नये की स्थापना करना अत्यन्त आवश्यक हो गया। यह उपन्यास न केवल अपने समय का जीवित दस्तावेज़ है अपितु तत्कालीन जनजीवन की सामाजिक, आर्थिक और आंशिक रूप से धार्मिक स्थिति को समझने में मदद करने वाला ग्रन्थ है। इसके द्वारा महाराणा प्रताप का एक सर्वथा जीवन्त मानवीय चरित्र सामने आता है। कथाकार ने इतिहास का सार्थक उपयोग किया है। कथा में रोचकता की वृद्धि हुई है और सांस्कृतिक-सामाजिक सरोकारों को ज़्यादा सार्थकता हासिल हुई है।-‘आजकल’। लेखक ने एक ओर इतिहास रस का परिपाक किया है तो दूसरी ओर रचना के माध्यम से प्रताप के जीवन-संघर्ष का उदात्तीकरण भी किया है।-‘नया शिक्षक’।

DESCRIPTION:
Never take no for a final answer and other tactics to win at the bargaining table.
Negotiation is the middle ground between capitulation and stonewalling, a back-and-forth between two parties trying to reach agreement. If a price or other term is non-negotiable, there is no give and take, just “take it or leave it.” You may think you are negotiating, but if the other side isn’t playing, you aren’t either.
Regardless of the industry, situation or product, the two most common mistakes negotiators make are:
1. They give ground too easily
2. They get nothing in return
This book provides proven methods for holding your ground against (seemingly) more powerful negotiators. But it also goes further, making sure that when you do give ground, you get equal or better value in return.
Using a cooperative, collaborative approach in a hardball negotiation just doesn’t work. Tough negotiators will play win-win, but only if they have nothing to lose.
Negotiating with Tough Customers will make you a better salesperson by making you a better negotiator... and vice versa.

DESCRIPTION:
Were the hauntings at the Elizabethan manor house of Bly a vision of the walking dead, perhaps, rather than delusions of Miss Temple's tormented mind? Or could it be that a criminal conspiracy is to blame for the psychic phenomena, as well as a second murder cunningly concealed in the past? In the New Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, the indefatigable detective and his assistant Dr. Watson, will track down the perpetrators through the occult underworld of Victorian London. Next, on the eve of World War I, he is confronted with fraud and forgery at the Royal Navy Academy in the Case of a Boy's Honor. Back in London, behind the scenes of the Herculaneum Theatre in the Strand the Case of the Matinee Idol embroils Holmes and Watson directly in an apparent on-stage murder. How did poison get into two Shakespearean goblets when only the victim, now dead, had access to them and the most likely suspect was a mile away with an unbreakable alibi?

Description:
Although many collections of ragadhari vocal compositions have been published over the years, there is a dearth of instrumental compositions. Hence, it has been the in the north Indian musical tradition.
This book cannot replace a teacher, and it is from a teacher that students of music must seek instructions and guidance. The purpose of this book is to offer some support to both the teacher and the student. Exercises and compositions should not be forced indiscriminately on students, but the teacher must use his discretion in prescribing appropriate material for individual students. He must also offer his advise and guidance to students on how to select compositions to suit their needs and abilities.
In this book, you will find Gat composed for various types of instruments with different techniques of playing. There are compositions appropriate for stringed instruments (bowed and plucked) and for wind instruments. Thus, the compositions for sitar and sarod are basically in Mazith Khani and Raza Khani styles, while different Gat styles are employed for violin, esraj and flute.

Description:
In the pages of this book we are taken on a profound pilgrimage of spiritual discovery. With our guide, Malcolm Tillis, we wander the length and breadth of India in search of other Westerners who, like him, have forsaken their old lives in the West for totally new, dramatically more meaningful ones in the East. By seeing Indian spirituality through the eyes of outsiders who were not born into the ancient culture, but found tremendous personal meaning therein, we discover it new and fresh with each individual Malcolm interviews. Each of these individuals has discovered an enormous spiritual wealth in India that makes the material prosperity and technological “advancements” of the West seem obscenely desolate and primitive in comparison. Contemporary Indian readers should find this particularly relevant, as India becomes more “modern” and on par with the West, and as they find themselves increasingly in a similar position with regard to rediscovering their own heritage.
Some of the people interviewed, renowned today, have remarkable life-stories:
Vijayananda met the great saint Anandamayi Ma with whom he found all he had hoped for. He moved into her ashram to live the life of a contemplative reununciate, where he remains to this day, now a revered and venerable teacher himself.
Ani Tenzin Palmo (Diana Perry) spent much of her time residing and meditating in a cave in the Himalayas at an altitude of over 12,000 ft. Today she is one of the better known figures in contemporary Buddhism.
The Swiss Swami Jnanananda took the formal vows and garb of a Hindu monk and then spent years wandering and meditating in the Himalayas in the company of saints and yogis. Today he is a beloved teacher residing in the foothills of the Himalayas.
Bill Aitken is a noted author of books about his adopted homeland.
Atmananda, an Austrian classical pianist, translated and edited the primary works about her Guru Anandamayi Ma into English, and ultimately became a Hindu sannyasini.
Lucia Osborne, wife of the writer Arthur Osborne, was a close follower of the great sage Ramana Maharshi.
Father Bede Griffith, the Benedictine monk and well-known author, spent his life formulating a synthesis of Christianity and Hinduism.
