With Three Prime Ministers Nehru, Indira and Rajiv 0
In India, the prime minister is the most powerful person in the country officially, yet except the speeches, which are broadcast to the nation, there is little known about how the prime ministers of India function, the kind of support staff that they have, their lifestyle and personal nature. The book “With Three Prime Ministers Nehru, Indira and Rajiv” by N K Seshan who was the private secretary of Nehru and Indira and worked with Rajiv Gandhi gives a glimpse of the lifestyle of some of the most influential prime ministers of India.
Today as cheating, lies and fraud has become the norm in indian society and corporate world, people who are middle aged or older in India wonder what is wrong with them, why the value systems in Indian society have changed so drastically, why being honest and hardworking is considered to be a crime. The sheena bora murder case which was exposed in 2015 was typical of the values of India in the last decade. The real reason for the transformation was the drastic changes in the value system, lifestyle of the most powerful and influential people in the country.
N K Seshan worked as the private secretary of Nehru from the 1940’s till his death in 1964, and he describes in detail the life, value system and personal ethics of the first prime minister of India. Though born in India in a wealthy family, Jawaharlal Nehru or Pandit Nehru did not care much for money, and was influenced by western countries in his attitude towards other people, his value system of honesty, consideration for those who were not wealthy, unlike in India today, where the tendency is to exploit to the maximum extent possible, especially those who are vulnerable.
Pandit Nehru was also a well read person, an intellectual who wrote a number of books, especially during his prison stay, and the royalty from these books were a source of income. He treated both the poor and rich will respect and consideration, unlike today when powerful people do not lose any opportunity to ridicule and humiliate people who they do not like. Though widely travelled he led a frugal life. Details of other people who influenced Nehru like Krishna Menon, Vallabhai Patel, Ambedkar, Mahatma Gandhi are also described
Pandit Nehru worked hard to help China gain acceptance worldwide, so the attack of China on India in 1962 adversely affected him both mentally and physically. After the betrayal by China, his secretary noted that his health worsened and he was also a changed person. After his death, Lal Bahadur Shastri became the Prime minister of India for some time, yet after his death, Indira Gandhi, who worked as the information and broadcasting minister in his cabinet, became the Prime Minister of India.
Some of the decisions of Indira Gandhi like the nationalization of banks, abolition of Privy purses and invasion of Bangladesh helped to consolidate her position. He also mentioned how the intelligence agencies would keep Indira Gandhi well informed of whatever was going on in the country. The declaration of emergency and the loss in the general elections are also mentioned. While Sanjay Gandhi was interested in politics, his brother Rajiv Gandhi was a trained pilot, more interested in his professional and family life.
However after the death of Indira Gandhi, Rajiv Gandhi asked N K Seshan to take care of the numerous important papers, including correspondence, notes, of Indira gandhi and her father, so that they could be properly preserved for the future generations. In a way, the book reflects the transition in the value systems of India, how the idealism of Pandit Nehru has died as people in India become increasingly materialistic, and honest people are ruthlessly defamed, cheated and exploited.
An excellent read for those who wish to understand the ideals of India immediately after independence and how these ideals slowly died in India over the last few decades, due to nepotism, corruption, and greed.

The case of the man who died laughing : Tarquin Hall 0
Due to complete lack of integrity and scientific temper in India in 2015, the brilliant experienced obc engineer who finds her impressive resume stolen for sluts offering sex bribes, brahmin and other cheaters, finds it difficult to get justice because being religious and a Brahmin is all important in India today, technical and scientific qualification, experience do not matter. In this context, The case of the man who died laughing by Tarquin Hall is an interesting read, as the scientist and rationalist Dr Suresh Jha battles the influential godman Maharaj Swami .
After receiving a death threat the Dr Suresh Jha appears is reported as murdered while attending a Laughing Club meeting in the morning at Rajpath. According to the report and a video a twenty feet tall goddess Durga appears, who strikes the scientist with a sword, killing him. Officially Inspector Singh of the delhi police is investigating the case, yet he unofficially enlists the help of the detective Vishwas Puri to help him. Like in other cases, the detective agrees to take up the case, so that the inspector will not interfere and help him for other cases, like matrimonial investigation, fraud, where his clients will help him.
The news of the death of Dr Jha by the twenty feel tall Durga is widely reported in the media, with most people blindly believing the news and worshipping the idol. However the detective and his associates tries to evaluate the matter scientifically, leading to the discovery of the dark secrets of Swami Maharaj, including the death of his devotee Manika Gill after sexual abuse, which the maharaja tries to cover up as a drowning suicide and other tricks to impressive their gullible devotees . This ultimately leads to a police raid on the ashram by inspector singh.
It becomes increasingly clear that the murder of Dr Suresh Jha was an extremely well planned scientific illusion, which he and his associates in the rationalist association had planned combining their knowledge of physics, chemistry, maths, biology to expose the maharaja swami and similar fraudsters. These tricks are widely used by magicians in India and elsewhere to trick people and create illusions. More shockingly with high tech equipment, indian intelligence agency officials are wasting tax payer money to defame, terrorise harmless indian citizens,destroy their memory, cause great pain, without their permission.
The book also tells how indians who grew up in the idealistic post independence india are becoming extremely cynical about the india of 2015, where merit, hard work, experience, competence, ethics do not matter at all, being well connected cheater, a Brahmin or offering sex bribes to officials who matter can make a mediocre lazy greedy fraud extremely rich and powerful, with a top job in intelligence agencies, faking their resume.
For example the fraud top officials in the indian internet sector will falsely allegedly bribed by Google, Tata, Paypal will falsely claim that the review has been written by the crooked brahmin fraud bengaluru housewife BBM nayanshree hathwar, when she has actually looted the webmaster of more than Rs 1.1 lakh and refuses to reply to the webmaster for more than 3 years, For cheating the engineer and webmaster of her hard earned money, the brahmin fraud nayanshree has allegedly got a top job in R&AW faking her resume, and bangalore cybercrime refused to action against the brahmin cheater despite providing proof. Also find enclosed a photo of a look alike of the lazy greedy goan gsb fraud riddhi, obc slut call girl bsc sunaina who falsely claim to own the blog and other domain names get a job allegedly in R&AW, when these greedy women do not spend any money or do any work.

Review: The Maharaja’s Man : Diwan Jarmani Dass 0
The Maharaja’s Man : Diwan Jarmani Dass is a fascinating look at the life of a minister in the court of the maharaja of kapurthala and patiala . Not only does it provide an interesting glimpse of how india was run in pre independence day India, before the british were forced to leave the country, it also provides an insight into the culture of the country which has not changed significantly over the last century, especially the status of women.
Today the maharajas have been replaced by the intelligence agency officials who cannot be held accountable, and treat women the same way. Allegedly some intelligence agency positions in india are also hereditary based on information available online and offline in magazines. Just as the marriage or being a mistress of a maharaja could make a woman rich overnight, being married to or sleeping w
Maharaja by Diwan Jarmani Dass 0
The book Maharaja : lives, loves and intrigues of the maharajas of India by Diwan Jarmani Dass is an interesting book for anyone who wishes to understand the mindset of people, inequality and the growth of the country, Unlike other large countries like Russia and China which were under communist rule for some time, India made a relatively smooth transition from British rule/ rule of maharajas to a democracy. As a result, in many sections of Indian society, even today the mindset of many of the people has not changed, they behave like maharajas, leading a life of great luxury and ruthlessly exploiting anyone they find vulnerable for personal gain.
The author of the book was a minister in the North Indian states, and had a close glimpse of the life of the maharajas. Realizing that it would be difficult to control a large country like india alone, the British adopted the divide and rule policy ensuring that their puppet maharajas ruled the different states of India. In reality the maharajas delegated all the work of handling the administration of the state, to their trusted ministers who were nominated by the british .
With a large amount of money at their disposal, the maharajas led a life of great luxury, purchasing expensive clothes, accessories, cars, jewelleries, holidaying in Europe and US while many of the citizens of the state which they ruled were extremely poor. They had harems of maharanis , ranis, mistresses and cocubines, who would be more than 300-400 in number wasting the resources of the state they ruled. Intrigue among officials was common to get rid of an unpopular minister or official, and the technique of cutting off all communication to isolate a person, create misunderstandings is widely used in India even today to harass small business owners, professsionals though the maharajas no longer rule.
Today nominally though a democracy, the top government officials, especially in indian intelligence agencies like RAW, CBI and military intelligence are the new maharajas of india today, who cannot be held accountable with great powers at their disposal.
Allegedly the cheater call girls who sleep with the officials like siddhi mandrekar, obc call girl bsc sunaina and cheater brahmin women like nayanshree hathwar, riddhi, ruchika, asmita patel, who these officials are infatuated with are the new maharanis, ranis, cocubines and mistresses of these powerful officials, who get great powers and government jobs because of their powerful friends
An employee will not see this aspect of India which the mainstream media will not cover, when he or she has a job. While working as a small business owner, who finds her retirement savings and resume stolen without a court order or legal reason, a brilliant harmless obc engineer from a top college realized that india is nominally a democracy. However intelligence and security agency officials rule the country like the corrupt selfish maharajas of the past, as a result of which india remains a poor and backward nation . A good read for those who want to know the real India.

The Art of Coconut Craft 0
Though india has a large number of unemployed and partially employed people, many of whom are educated, there has been a dearth of opportunities to earn a fair living. The government can offer a limited number of jobs, and increasingly private companies are very selective about choosing the person they employ, limiting opportunities for older people. India also does not offer support to unemployed people in most states. However, in India there is very little information about metal work, crafting, tailoring, food processing or other DIY which could be used by a person with free time to earn some money to cover expenses.
While fiction books are good for entertainment and getting sleep , and business, politics books provide information, these do not help to pay the bills, especially if infinite indian tax payer money has been wasted to ensure that the harmless innocent person does not earn a fair living online and correspondence allegedly diverted to call girls who sleep with powerful officials and well connected good looking cheaters.
The Art of Coconut Craft is a very useful book for anyone who would be interested in learning about the different applications of coconut or making a living creating and selling coconut craft items. Coconut trees are an integral part of the life of any person living along the west coast of India and many would be interested in knowing how to earn a living from the coconut and leaves of the coconut tree.
Often non fiction books are written by a person who has a superficial knowledge of the subject, this book for a change has been written by a master craftsman Vijaydatta Lotlikar who has many years experience making coconut shell craft, He has provided very detailed information on coconut craft, the different types of coconut available, quality of coconut shell from goa and kerala . Guidelines on how to make craft items from coconut shells have also been provided, the tools required and the methods to be used. It also provides information about the incentives offered to craftsmen, for example at the Aparant Maand held in two different places in Goa, artisans who participate are given Rs 100 per day as DA.
The book has been published with the help of the grant of Rs 25000 from the Goa Government’s Directorate of Art and culture under the scheme to provide financial help to Goan Authors and Publishers. In addition to useful content, the book has extensive internet links related to coconut craft and also photos of the various coconut shell items

Powerful fraud government officials have allegedly stolen the retirement savings of twenty years of the webmaster without a court order, brahmin bangalore housewife nayanshree hathwar has cheated the webmaster of more than Rs 1.1 lakh, and goan diploma holder siddhi mandrekar has commited corporate espionage and steals data, leads and orders daily wasting indian tax payer money.

Review : Liberty Blouse and Punjabi dresses
There are a lot of novels and non fiction books available in India, yet there is little useful information available online and offline which could help a person earn a living.
Most of the craft, hobby and DIY books available in Indian book stores and book exhibitions are written by foreign authors and the methods and materials are not easily available or applicable today in India.
The writer of the book Dilip Karampuri runs the Liberty institute of Fashion technology.
The aim of the book is to help women and others start their small business to be self employed as there will always be demand for custom stitched clothes for indian women.
There are no major ethnic wear brands for women in India which are well designed and affordable, hence most women will need a good tailor if they cannot stitch clothes themselves.
Trial and error can be expensive, especially if the cloth material is costly.
The book is fairly comprehensive with drawings for all the cutting to be made.
A wide range of designs for blouses, kurta, salwars are provided for reference
Dimensions and cutting instructions are also included.
In india offline usually the metric system of metres and centimeters will be used for measurement, in this case, the imperial system has been used.

Review : Handbook of Civil Engineering 0
Most engineering colleges teach all students the basics of electrical and mechanical engineering, they have at least one course on the same.
However, civil engineering has far more wider application today, especially if a person has to handle the maintenance of his or her house alone and there are no compulsory course online for engineers in other subjects.
The Handbook of Civil Engineering has some basic information on civil engineering for daily applications like
Building construction
Concrete technology
Public health engineering
Soil mechanics and foundation engineering
Irrigation
Transport engineering
RCC design
Strength of materials
This book will be useful for those answering entrance examinations for various companies and for colleges, polytechnics or someone interested in learning for practical applications.
A more comprehensive book at a similar price would be appreciated.

Review : Lucknow Boy a memoir 0
The official autobiography of Vinod Mehta, currently the editor of the weekly magazine Outlook, which was started to take on the monopoly of India Today.
An excellent guide for journalists, those interested in media. It indicates how the government of the day irrespective of the ruling party will censor free press in india, ensure that there is no unfavorable coverage of the government and officials who matter. The author provides a glimpse of his life, right from his family migrating from Pakistan to Lucknow in India , working and living in England, Mumbai and Delhi.
He has started or worked with a number of periodicals including newspapers, magazines such as Debonair, Indian Post, Independent, Pioneer, often resigning or being sacked because of his disagreement with the proprietor over the content of the periodical. The business interests of the proprietor have often been adversely affected due to the negative coverage, with nationwide raids for harassing the business owner.
The editor will realize that negative coverage of a large business group like Tata or Reliance can adversely affect the financial performance of the magazine or newspaper, as these groups will ensure that the media house does not get any advertising, essential for survival. Even a small negative story like worms in cadbury chocolates are not covered in the media due to the clout which cadbury has with the media in india. Powerful people in India are extremely sensitive to even the smallest negative stories and take it personally.
Often the editor will have to make the uneviable choice of only carrying positive stories which are boring and adversely affect the circulation, or sensational negative stories, which often help increase the circulation of the magazine/newspaper and wide receive publicity . However, the magazine as well as the proprietor will often be punished for the negative stories. Thus though Outlook has excellent content, it has comparatively fewer advertisement compared to other less honest magazines,

Steel King Laxmi Niwas Mittal by Mithilesh Gautam 0
The book Steel King Laxmi Niwas Mittal by Mithilesh Gautam is a autobiographical book of one of the wealthiest indians in the world. While his name has been mentioned often in the media, his background has not been described in great detail. It provides a rare glimpse of how his father started Steel India using scrap iron, and how L.N Mittal chose to give up his stake in steel India to focus on the world market where conditions were less hostile.
The informative book also describes how he has flourished abroad specializing in taking over sick and poor managed steel mills, analyzing their deficiencies and then making the necessary changes to make the steel mill profitable. This would mean making management changes, improving the technology used to reduce production cost or investing money in equipment.

Any profitable business will always be beneficial for the area in which it will be located, as it will generate jobs and other opportunities for people.
The widely publicized wedding of his children Aditya and Vanisha are also described in some detail in this book. The writing style of the author differs from typical indian writers. An informative book, providing an interesting glimpse of the meteoric rise of one of the most high profile and wealthiest indians in the world
