How did Albert Einstein acquire such a cult status? What was so great about him? And, more importantly, what can we learn from his life? One of the most admired figures from the last century, Albert Einstein's contributions to science, particularly theoretical physics, are unparalleled. How did Einstein's achievements translate into our daily lives? And what was he like as a person? In this book, Virender Kapoor analyses every facet of Einstein's life and personality. He shows how Einstein's contributions went far beyond the field of science - he was an active supporter of human rights, a generous donor and remarkably detached from material possessions. Einstein also knew how to use his imagination productively, employ communication skills effectively and above all, keep his sense of humour intact. It was these qualities and others that made him the man he was and understanding and absorbing them would also help others go a long way as well, in any time and at any place. Containing powerful truths in simple, lucid words, Innovation: the Einstein Way is a must-read for everyone, irrespective of their fields of interest, to understand how to utilize their strengths to the fullest.

Covering topics as diverse as the sources of the Hellenic Race, the colonization of Egypt and Palestine, the wars of the Grand Lama and the Bud'hist propaganda in Greece, the author tries to show that at some point in history, India and Greece were closely associated.

Short words are the best and old words when short are best of all. Vocabulary is a power house that equips you with What to Say. Yes and no are very short words to say, but we should think for some length of time before saying them. The limits of language are the limits of the mind. Little Red Book of English Vocabulary Today is a treasure chest of words for all age groups. This book is not a run on the mill vocabulary collection. What matters is not just the traditional, language of today also counts: Apeirophobia fear of opening e mails. Bulliphobia fear of not having the remote control. A group of husbands unhappiness. A group of wives impatience, a man does not live on bread alone but by the catch words in his vocabulary. Catch the words and hook the reader and the listener.

What does a woman want? Shoes? Nope. Sex? Maybe. Money? Yes but nowadays her own ...Hmm, so then what does today's woman really, really deep, deep down want? Still your breath. LOVE!And Right Fit Wrong Shoe shall give it to her. The story of Nandini or as her hesitant paramour describes her 'lassi in a wine glass' is set in the more-than-just-a-third-world-country's city, Kanpur. She has been bitten, for better or worse, but definitely bitten, by Bollywood. Her spirit is undefeatable; she mocks certain death (Aditya) and suffers stoically for love (Aditya, again. Go figure!) Her accomplice in all her escapades is Sneha Verma- that one friend we all refer to as BFF, but function with, as chaddi-baniyan (or gracefully put as hand and a glove). The book begins at a point where all love stories end. Dripping with humour and romance, it encases a young woman's thoughts on the society she survives in.
