Aasteen Ka Machar

In an era where satire itself faces constant challenges, the very act of continuing to write it is an achievement. This book by Dr. K.K. Asthana was written with pen on paper, later digitized using Unicode, and finally returned to its physical form. The articles do not belong to a single time period, some were written nearly three decades ago, while others are recent, yet they sit seamlessly together. Dr. Asthana makes no claim of timeless writing, rather, he points to the timelessness of irony rooted in the country, its society, and its enduring contradictions.

Śrīmat Bhagavat Gītā : A Simplified Version

IIT Roorkee alumnus Sri Kunal Kaushal (B.Tech. Civil- 2003) has authored a simplified version of Śrīmat Bhagavad Gītā. In the Indian culture, Gītā is probably the most revered and discussed repository of philosophical content. However, few people read it in Sanskrit—the language of the original discussion. This book systematically removes the three hurdles that dissuade people from reading in Sanskrit. Now available on Amazon, this book is a must-read for anyone who would rather read Śrīmat Bhagavat Gītā in Sanskrit than its verbose interpretations in Hindi or English.

EXPERIMENTAL PROOF OF A NUCLEUS OF MASS AND CHARGE IN THE PHOTONS : RAREST OF THE RARE DISCOVERY

Shri Narendra Swarup Agarwal passed his B. E. (Chemical) in the year 1972 from this prestigious Institute. For over 200 years, the world remained unaware of the presence of a tiny nucleus of mass and charge hidden in the photons, which is responsible for creating a pattern of bright and dark bands in the Interference Experiment. This is the discovery of the smallest particle in the world and a fundamental particle. The photons have a nucleus of mass with charge. The size of the nucleus of the photon is about 10 raised to the power minus 20 times the size of the photon. The nucleus of mass with charge in the photons answers the long-awaited mystery of Wave-Particle Duality. The above discoveries are based on the New Quantum Theory, developed in 2012 by the author. All the quantum phenomena are the evidence of the New Quantum Theory. This theory opens a new door for the development of Quantum Technologies and many other technologies.

Reborn: Darkness is the Seed of Light

From the author's pen- In this book I have tried to capture my own moments of rebirth, where I have started seeing the world a little differently. I hope it makes you think about this beautiful world deeper than we usually do - more lovingly and more romantically. Apart from seeing the beauty in the mundane, this book is also about accepting that which we most want to run away from. In a world that often shies away from difficult emotions, Reborn dares to embrace them—to delve into the shadows and uncover the hidden truths that lie within. It's about understanding that negative emotions like sadness, jealousy, envy and hatred, far from being monsters to be feared, are simply messengers, urging us to pay attention and learn. Through this book, I want to take you, my reader, on a journey—a journey of introspection and self-discovery. And it is my hope that this book sparks a curiosity within you to explore your feelings and ponder life's mysteries with a fresh perspective. Who knows what might come of it? I want... however tough things get and regardless of how many times you want to give up on understanding and love... I want Reborn to be a reminder that that darkness is not the end, but the very seed which blossoms into light. Imagine a world where we all see each other as radiant lights, shining together in harmony and greater strength without needing to dim anyone else's radiance. This is what Reborn stands for.

HEARTBEATS: POETRY RHYMING WITH YOUR HEARTBEATS

Mohi Nayyar's poems not only rhyme with your Heatbeats, but they resonate with the thought waves of your mind also. The struggles between emotions of heart and dictates of mind have found expression in the form of poems in Heartbeats. If one bears unresolved inner strife, then the spirit cannot reach its intended destination.. When the events that evolve in life reflect the wishes of the heart, the soul will carry these relics of life eternally.

हर लहर से पनपती बनती-बिगड़ती परछाइयाँ बहती हुई खुशियाँ या फिर सिमटी हुई तनहाइयाँ कभी लम्हों से झाँकते वो हँसी के हसीं झरोखे कभी खुद से ही छुपाते खुद होंठों से आँसू रोके कभी दिलरुबा का हाथ पकड़ा तो कभी माँ की उँगली थामी कभी दोस्तों से वो झगड़ा तो कभी चुपके से भरी हामी कभी सवाल बने समंदर तो कभी जवाब हुआ आसमान कभी दिल गया भँवर में तो कभी चूर हुआ अभिमान कभी सपने थे व़फा के तो कभी ज़फा से थे काँटे कभी कमज़र्फ हुई धड़कन तो कभी सबकुछ ही अपना बाँटे कभी बिन माँगे मिला सब तो कभी माँग के भी झोली खाली कभी भगवान् ही था सबकुछ तो कभी आस्था को दी गाली कभी सबकुछ था पास खुद के पर दूसरों पर नज़र थी कभी सबकुछ ही था खोया फिर भी नींद बे़खबर थी कभी ख्वाब ही थे दुनिया तो कभी टूटे थे सारे सपने.....

Mobile Stories (An Anecdocracy)

The book is titled as ‘Mobile Stories (An Anecdocracy)” and it is written in dual language. A blend of Hindi and English. I experimented with my very first book as I feel that today's youth communicate in this language only, especially in the Northern part of India.
