The book emphasizes on: - Life is what we still grow- Our values are the very essence of living- Life is to cherish and what we have to enjoy- We owe to society, and now it is the time to repay

"Remember! We all have that uncomfortableness in us, urging us to walk away; away in search of another life; away in search of things mightier than us, only to make us realize that these mightier things dwell in ourselves, not in society. They lie in deepening of the valleys, shallows of the brooks, narrow stretches of the trees, voids of the wilderness. They lie deep inside you; on the plains of the knowledge, in the vastness of the love and fountains of the youth."

It comprehensively deals with Planning, Architecture, Urban Design, Landscape, Art, and Services, in the context of Le Corbusier's written word and his realised works, vis-à-vis the dynamics of urban phenomena by virtue of which the citizens have acquired a new lifestyle. This book is based on the author's first doctorate (earned in 1991) that had won the 5th JIIA [Journal of the Indian Institute of Architects] National Award for Excellence in Architecture [Research Category] in 1993. Though enormous literature, mostly journalism spiced with glossy pictures, exists worldwide on the City, Dr SS Bhatti shows for the first time how the creation of Chandigarh--a state capital that outrivals national capitals of the modern world, and is the Mother City to some of them--is, in fact, An Irony of History! The uniqueness of this publication springs from the author's amazing professional versatility, with insightful expertise in the History of Modern Architecture along with the History of Indian Architecture, which has enabled him to put Chandigarh in the right global perspective. Having lived in Chandigarh since 1961 and seen it grow--from a daring experiment (drawing-board graphic representation) to an unforgettable experience (palpable reality)--the author brings to his doctoral thesis a rare authenticity. Discountenancing the hypothesis-based method which is used worldwide in the study of Human Settlements, the author has developed a holistic system of scholastic enquiry that he calls "PAR-SOM". With his characteristic tenacity he assures that his method could be used to a great advantage beyond opinionated perceptions and sentimental preferences for the comprehensive investigation and critical evaluation of city that he regards to be "a social organism and a work of art". Plan, Action and Reality, in tandem with the Subjective, Objective and Metaphysical dimensions of Modern Urbanism, constitute his novel procedure of holistic research. As a rich resource for future research, this book is a definitive work which should be compulsory reading for all those concerned with planning for vital communities in the 21st century.

The pleasure of entering other people's lives is an adventure into the glamour of Indian imagery; the ambrosia of their Gods and Avatars is everywhere. This story is told through the eyes of thirty real life characters - funny, intelligent, clever, respectful; their every conversation being about destiny. My visit to India smashed all stereotypes, none of them were true, and every perception that I had gained from mainstream news media and reading academic books were also far from true. You see, I went to India with Virgin Eyes that would perceive perception as reality and truth. Striving to look at the world as though one had never seen it before, a search for pure perception, a fresh vision for me, I left my mind open and empty so to speak, realising that if I freed myself of stereotypes and abstractions I would live in a richer and more interesting world. This book is not a common travelogue as you'll find in the travel supplements of the weekend papers. No, I don't go with that awful tourist idea that India is only a museum of antiquities and art. The Indian people are more marvelous than the land and temples.

'How the consciousness comes into existence?' is the second top unanswered mystery in science. The top unanswered mystery is 'what is the universe made of?' Physicalism or materialism finds itself quite inadequate to explain mental qualities and free will in terms of excitation of neurons and their modular connections. Untangling the mystery of consciousness has been esteemed as the proudest achievement of humankind. Consciousness is left as the last frontier in science whose explanation may perhaps require the conceptualisation of soul and god; otherwise, any divine soul or god is denied in existence, as it does not fit into the known science. This book explains consciousness by conceiving a scientific soul that leads to a plausible explanation for all aspects of consciousness and also leads to God. This book describes and explains consciousness comprehensively. Its offshoot also leads us a possible explanation for near-death-experiences, the origin of life and parapsychology. This book will lead you to know your thyself. It will awaken your spirit of inquiry for such questions as 'who am I' and 'who is God' while providing some answers also.

The boy takes her to Pakistan with a promise to marry her there and stay within his community and then return to UK as they both are UK-born.

It took a long time for Punjab to restore normalcy. Little did Punjab get respite that 1984 witnessed operation Blue Star which hurt the very soul of Punjab and Punjabis across the world. The rage and turmoil destroyed Punjab and killed many innocents. Humanity cried, old eyes got tired and despaired; many people migrated to Delhi in a hope of a new life and as an escape to finally become victim of riots following the assassination of the then Prime Minister. The pain and sufferings by the people of Punjab right from the days of partition till their pursuit of settlement has been expressed by the writer in this novel.

The Author says: the Punjab [whose River Indus gave the country its venerable name "India"] has been cradle of one of the world's most significant civilisations, and mother to such distinguished spiritual legacy, metaphysical inheritance, and art and culture heritage as has given India pride of place among nations of abiding global import. However, though it is hailed as food-bowl and defence sentinel of the country, by some quirk of fate, Indians in other states poke fun on it as having only 'agriculture' but no 'culture'. Bhatti ascribes this deplorable notion to Punjabis' own failure at marketing their wares smartly. While striving to correct this sick impression by exhaustive writings and public lectures, the redoubtable author shows in this book his perennial concern to document for future generations art-works created by Punjabi artists in the post-Partition Era. He brings to this long-awaited publication a professional artist's practical knowledge with analytic discernment of Nobel Laureate TS Eliot's "Workshop Critic". While this publication contains enough material to goad earnest scholars in the furtherance of research it also seeks to educate the students and teachers of art in the subtler aspects of Artistic Creation, whatever may be their materials and modes of expression.

In ancient times the zodiac - astrology's basic alphabet - conveyed a body of higher knowledge, hence it formed part of the sacred sciences, not only in India but in all the Mystery Schools of the ancient world... (Patrizia Norelli Bachelet, 2014) For millennia wisemen of all traditions have searched for a key of knowledge which would unlock the mysteries of the universe. The Alchemists called this universal key, 'the Philosopher's Stone' and revealed that it was based upon the structure and harmonies of the Cosmos. This legendary 'stone' or Lapis Philosophorum was believed to be a magical object having the power to change base metals into gold, but, in a deeper sense, it symbolized the final goal of the initiation process which was the attainment of the highest wisdom. Possession of the 'Philosopher's Stone' was the coveted condition resulting from the realization of 'Gnosis', an enlightened state in which one knows with a certainty that one knows and sees with an understanding which can be infinitely extended to all situations. Over the centuries, the system of knowledge which emerged from the alchemical tradition represented the pinnacle of enlightened thought. It was based upon the known universe which then consisted of six planets and the central Sun. But it was not until the 20th century, following the discovery of Uranus, Neptune and Pluto, that the complete key of knowledge could be revealed and man's integral transformation fully understood. The Gnostic Circle is that key and contains the highest wisdom of our age.
