Crime Unsolved, A Buck Taylor Novel by Chuck Morgan

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Reviewed by Susan Sewell for Readers' Favorite

 "A forest fire sweeps through Colorado's Rio Blanco county along the White River, and while the flames ravage the pristine wilderness, the ugliness of greed, murder, and revenge are exposed in the exciting suspense novel, Crime Unsolved (A Buck Taylor Novel) by Chuck Morgan.

A fishing lodge, constructed despite a controversial land swap between the Forest Service and a wealthy developer, is ground zero for an out-of-control wildfire. An environmentalist group is claiming responsibility for the blaze, and the governor feels the need to call in CBI investigator Buck Taylor.

With a murder victim found among the ruins of the lodge and as murder isn't their usual mode of operation, Buck isn't convinced the environmentalists are the culprits. Working together with the local authorities, Buck combs through the remains of the lodge, looking for clues to the cause of the fire. The more evidence they uncover, the more it points to other suspects who have more pressing motives. Their leads indicate other fires recently started in the area may be related.

When an item discovered at one of those sites reveals there are more to the fires than environmentalists gone wild, the investigation takes a turn. A scheme which endangers the community and the environment is taking place, and someone is willing to kill to keep it hidden.

Professionally written in the style of a best-selling crime novelist, such as Tom Clancy, Crime Unsolved (A Buck Taylor Novel) by Chuck Morgan is a spell-binding suspense novel with an environmental flair. Intriguing subplots of fraud, survivalist paranoia, and murder weave their way through the fabric of the plot, creating a dynamic story. This is an action-filled, stimulating tale which contains fascinating details that are relevant in our present climate. The heroic efforts of those who confront the destructive forces of raging forest fires are beautifully portrayed, along with alarming environmental issues, such as chemical dumping. The chemical dumping factor is frighteningly eye-opening and increased the intensity of the story line.

I was captivated by the subjects presented within the text, and even though it was an exciting fiction story, I felt I came away from the book more knowledgeable than I was before I picked it up. I love it when that happens! Fire, environmental issues, murder, and arson are the keynotes for this thrilling novel, and if any of these topics interest you, then you will want to read this book!"

"Crime Unsolved: A Buck Taylor Novel by Chuck Morgan is a crime novel set in Colorado. CBI Agent Buck Taylor, who recently lost his wife to breast cancer, is eased back into work with an important assignment. He needs to find those responsible for an arson attack on a multi-million dollar fishing lodge development.

While Buck is attempting to solve one crime, he uncovers others including a scheme to dispose of illegal chemical waste, murder and a prescription drug ring. The plot thickens when Buck's brother-inlaw, Hardy, becomes implicated. Buck and his team work hard to bring the perpetrators to justice. In a dramatic conclusion, Buck ends up fighting a wildfire that threatens a local town.

Chuck Morgan writes a gritty crime drama with a solid main protagonist in Buck Taylor, a character I warmed to immediately. Buck has great depth and was the perfect leading man. He was aided and abetted by a number of powerful and interesting women characters including a close colleague, a casual love interest and a feisty daughter who works as a firefighter. His daughter, coincidentally, was part of a hotshot team that fought the wildfire that threatened the town.

The crimes themselves were complex and provided a satisfying plot line that I felt one could really become immersed in. I loved the spiky relationship between the volatile Hardy (Buck's brother-in-law) and the calm and measured Buck. Crime Unsolved has all the ingredients of a good crime novel and was a pleasure to read. I look forward to exploring more in this series of books."

 1.                   Hobbit-inspired abodes nestled in the hills of Montana, California

 

In the rolling hills of Montana, a unique community of homes draws inspiration from the whimsical dwellings of Hobbits as described in J.R.R. Tolkien's beloved tales. These charming abodes, with their circular doors and windows, are nestled into the verdant landscape, almost as if they sprouted from the earth itself. The architecture is a blend of rustic elegance and eco-friendly design, utilizing local materials and green roofs that are blanketed with native grasses and wildflowers. Inside, the homes are cozy and warm, with wood-burning stoves and walls lined with rich, natural wood.

The design of these homes is not only aesthetically pleasing but also functional, as they maintain a comfortable temperature year-round, thanks to their earthen insulation. Residents of these Hobbit-inspired homes enjoy a life that feels both simple and enchanted, surrounded by the natural beauty of Montana's outdoors. The community fosters a sense of camaraderie and a shared love for Tolkien's world, often gathering for potlucks and storytelling around crackling fires.

Eerie and Love story

In the shadowed hills of Montana, where the Hobbit-inspired homes nestle like jewels in the earth's embrace, there began a tale of two hearts entwined by fate's gentle hand. It was here that Elara, a painter whose canvases captured the soul of the land, met Rowan, a carpenter whose hands shaped wood as if whispering to it. Their love story unfolded beneath the verdant canopy, in homes that hummed with the warmth of hearth fires and the scent of pine. They found in each other a kindred spirit, a shared love for the tales of old, and a passion for the beauty that lay in simplicity.

As the seasons turned, their bond deepened, much like the roots of the great oaks that stood sentinel over their abode. Their days were filled with laughter and soft words, their nights stargazing from atop their green-roofed haven. Yet, as in all tales, darkness crept upon them in the form of an eerie legend that whispered through the hills—a tale of a wandering spirit, lost between worlds, seeking the warmth of love it once knew.

The spirit, they said, was once a dweller of these very hills, a soul who had loved as fiercely as the winds that swept across the plains. But fate, in its caprice, had severed the bond, leaving the spirit to roam, its heartache a palpable chill that seeped into the bones of the living. It was said that on moonless nights, one could hear the wistful sighs of the spirit, see the fleeting shadow at the edge of vision, and feel the lingering touch of sorrow in the air.

 

Elara and Rowan, bound by love yet touched by the spectral tale, found their love story entwined with the eerie lore of the land. They became the warmth that the spirit sought, their love a beacon that pierced the veil of shadows. And so, their story became a legend of its own—a love that transcended the earthly plane, reaching into the realm of spirits, offering solace to a soul adrift.

 

In the end, the hills of Montana bore witness to a love that was as enduring as the earth and as tender as the first light of dawn. And the eerie tale that once whispered through the night became a testament to the power of love, a story that would be told for generations, of two hearts that brought peace to a wandering spirit in the Hobbit-inspired abodes nestled in the hills of Montana.

 

The spirit, known in hushed tones as Aelwyn, was once a being of flesh and blood, a soul as vibrant and full of life as the Montana hills are of wildflowers. Aelwyn had lived in the time when the hills were untamed, a time of legends and uncharted wilderness. A lover of nature and the open sky, Aelwyn's heart was as wide as the horizon, and love came to Aelwyn as naturally as the rivers flowed to the sea. It was in these very hills that Aelwyn found love, a love so profound that it seemed to echo through the valleys and over the peaks.

 

But as the seasons change, so too did the fate of Aelwyn. A tragic turn of events led to a separation from the beloved, and with that loss, Aelwyn's spirit could not find rest. Bound to the land that held so many cherished memories, Aelwyn's spirit lingered, caught between the joy of the past and the sorrow of the present. The spirit roamed the hills, a silent guardian watching over the land and its inhabitants, unseen but ever-present.

 

As the years passed, the legend of Aelwyn grew. The spirit became a part of the land's lore, a whisper on the wind, a story shared by the fireside. Some say that Aelwyn's presence could be felt in the gentle rustling of leaves, in the soft glow of twilight, or in the comforting embrace of the earth. The spirit was not one to inspire fear, but rather a sense of melancholy, a reminder of the enduring power of love and the marks it leaves upon the world.

 

The homes that now stood upon the hills, the Hobbit-inspired abodes, became a new chapter in Aelwyn's tale. The residents, with their love for the earth and for the stories of old, brought a new kind of warmth to the spirit's existence. They honored the land and its history, and in doing so, they honored Aelwyn. The spirit, in turn, watched over them, a benevolent presence that blessed the homes with peace and serenity.

 

Aelwyn's story is one of love, loss, and the eternal hope that love can bring. It is a tale that speaks to the heart of what it means to be connected to a place, to its past, and to the people who share in its story. The spirit of Aelwyn is a testament to the enduring nature of the human spirit, its capacity for love, and its resilience in the face of time's relentless march. In the hills of Montana, Aelwyn's spirit remains a gentle echo of a love that once was and the hope that it will be once again.

My ‘Novel’ Account of Human Possibility

Whenever I look at my body of multi-genre work in English, the underlying human possibility intrigues me no end, and why not for my mother tongue Telugu, touted as the Italian of the East, has no linguistic connection with it whatsoever.

To start with, I was born into a land-owning family in Kothalanka, a remote Indian village, of Andhra Pradesh to be precise that is after the British had folded their colonial tents from the sub-continent, but much before the rural education mechanism was geared up therein. It was thus the circumstances of my birth enabled me to escape from the tiresome chores of primary schooling till I had a nine-year fill of an unbridled childhood, embellished by village plays and enriched by grandma’s tales, made all the more appealing by her uncanny storytelling ability. Added to that, as my great great maternal grandfather happened to be a poet laureate at the court of a princeling of yore, maybe their genes together strived to infuse their muses in me their progeny. 

However, as the English plants that Lord Macaulay planted in the Hindustani soil hadn’t taken roots in the hinterland till then, it’s the native tongues that held the sway in the best part of that ancient land. No wonder then, well into my secondary schooling, leave alone constructing an English sentence, whenever I had to read one, I used to be afflicted by an unceasing stammer. Maybe, it was at the behest of the unseen hand of human possibility, or owing to his foresight, and /or both that, in time, my father had shifted our family base to the cosmopolitan town of Kakinada to admit me into Class X at the McLaren High School. And with that began my affair with the English language, facilitated by Chinnababu, my classmate, which, courtesy Abbimavayya, my maternal uncle, found fruition in the continental fiction, in translation, however to the detriment of my mechanical engineering education to the chagrin of my vexed father.     

Nevertheless, even as the Penguin classics imbibed in me the love for language that is besides broadening my outlook of life, my nature enabled me to explore the possibilities of youth. That’s not all, all through; it was as if destiny tended to afford my life to examine its intrigues while fiction enabled me to handle its vicissitudes with fortitude that stood me in good stead throughout. Besides, in those days of yore, as letter-writing was in vogue, I was wont to embellish my missives to friends and the loved-ones with the insights the former induced and the emotions the latter stirred in me. So to say, all those letters that my latter-day novels carry owe more to my ingrained habit than to the narrative need of my muse.

Providentially, when I was thirty-three, my eyes and mind seemed to have combined to explore the effect of the led on the leader, and when the resultant ‘Organizational ethos and good Leadership’ was published in The Hindu; I experienced the inexplicable thrill of seeing one’s name in print. Enthused thus by the fortuitous development, I began to articulate my views on general, and materials management, general insurance, politics, and, not to speak of, life and literature in over a score of published articles. But fiction writing was nowhere near my pen and the thought of becoming a novelist was beyond my horizon for Leo Tolstoy, Fyodor Dostoyevsky, Nikolai Gogol, Ivan Turgenev, Emily Zola, Gustav Flaubert et al (I hadn’t read Marcel Proust and Robert Musil by then) were, and are, my literary deities, and how dare I, their devotee, to envision myself in the sanctum sanctorum of the novel.

All the same, when I was forty-four, having been fascinated by the manuscript of a ­satirical novella penned by one Bhibhas Sen, an Adman, with whom I had been on the same intellectual page for the past four years then, it occurred to me, ‘when he could, I can for sure’. It was as if Sen had driven away the ghosts of those literary greats that came to shadow my muse but as life would have it, it was another matter that not wanting to foul his work, as he hadn’t obliged the willing publisher to pad it up to a ‘publishable size’, that manuscript remained in the literary limbo.

So, with my muse thus unshackled, I set to work on the skeletal idea of Pardonables, the working title of Benign Flame, with the conviction that for fiction to impact readers, it should be the soulful rendering of characters rooted in their native soil, not the hotchpotch of the local and foreign caricatures sketched on a hybrid canvas, the then norm of the Indian Writing in English. Yet, it took me a full fortnight to make the narrative flowing with the opening – ‘That winter night in the mid-seventies, the Janata Express was racing rhythmically on its tracks towards the coast of Andhra Pradesh. As its headlight pierced the darkness of the fertile plains, the driver honked the horn as though to awake the sleepy environs to the spectacle of the speeding train.’  

However, from then on, it was as though a ‘novel’ chemistry had developed between my muse and the mood of its characters that shaped its fictional course, and soon I came to believe that I had something exceptional to offer to the world of letters, nay the world itself. So, not wanting to die till I gave it to it, I tended to go to lengths to preserve my life that was till I delivered it in nine months with a ‘top of the world’ feeling at that. Then, when one Spencer Critchley, an American critic, thought that – “It’s a refreshing surprise to discover that the story will not trace a fall into disaster for Roopa, given that many writers might have habitually followed that course with a wife who strays into extramarital affairs” – I felt vindicated about my unique contribution. Just the same, as there were no takers to it among the Indian publishers and the Western agents, I was left with no heart to bring my pen to any more paper (those were the pre-keyboard days) though my head was swirling with many a novel idea, triggered by my examined life lived in an eventful manner.  

Nevertheless, sometime later, that was after I happened to browse through a published book; I had resumed writing, owing altogether to a holistic reason: while it was the quality of Sen’s unpublished work that set me on a fictional course from which I was derailed by the publishers’ apathy, strangely, it was the paucity of any literary worth in that published book that spurred me back onto the novel track to pursue the pleasure of writing for its own sake. It’s thus; I could reach the literary stations of - Crossing the Mirage and Jewel-less Crown that was before my pen, in the wake of the hotly debated but poorly analyzed post-Godhra communal riots, took a non-fictional turn with the Puppets of Faith. 

Thereafter, as if wanting me to lend my literary hand to other genres, my muse heralded me into the arena of translation, ushered me onto the unknown stage, put me on a stream of consciousness, took me to crime scenes, dragged me into the by-lanes of short stories, and driven me into the novella fold. However, as a prodigal son, I took to my first steps into the Telugu short story field with my ‘Missteps’ తప్పటడుగులు.

Whatever, it was Michael Hart, the founder of the Project Gutenberg, who first lent his e-hand to my books ever in search of readers. But who would have thought that life held such literary possibilities in the English language for a rustic Telugu lad reared in the rural Andhra, even in the post-colonial India? So, the possibilities of life are indeed novel and seemingly my life has crystallized itself in my body of work before death could dissipate it.

The Story of the Hidden Text Part I

Mr.Rahul Ghose, Mr.Raj Roy, and Dr.Madhusudan Gomez have been friends since childhood. They all attended the same school and college. After completing their education, one of them started his own magazine, Ghose became a mystery novelist, and Gomez became a lecturer at a government college after acquiring his doctorate from the University of Kansas in Engineering. Although they are all from Kolkata, the City of Joy, their professions have led them to different locations. Raj Roy is in Delhi, Rahul Ghose is in Mumbai, and Madhusudan Gomez is in Damchara, Assam. Despite the distance between them, they share a common interest in historical texts and enjoy deciphering the mysteries encoded within them. All three of them can read, write, and speak in 13 major languages and 27 minor languages, as well as three ancient texts that are no longer spoken by people in the modern world.

Now let us begin our story. This will be the first instalment.

Dr. Gomez was sitting in his living room on a Sunday morning, reading the English newspaper while sipping on his favorite Darjeeling tea. Once he was done reading, he planned to enjoy a delicious breakfast of Puri and Alur Dam, which was prepared by his wife, Mrs. Sulata Gomez.

She had come to stay with him for a few days while her office was closed for some holidays. She had also applied for leave for a few more days, and if approved, she would be able to stay with her husband for a few more days. Dr. Gomez and Mrs. Sulata got married last year in an arranged marriage, but their love for each other had blossomed quickly. However, due to their jobs, they lived in different locations and could only meet during their holidays or if one of them took leave from work.

Mr.Gomez was just going to finish his tea when the doorbell rang for two times. Upon opening the door, he was confronted by an unfamiliar figure.

“Hello Dr.Gomez”

“Hello…you are ?”

“I am Dr.Paresh Chandra Nath from Benaras Hindu University. I work there as a Professor of Linguistics.”

Since he didn't know this individual and didn't have an appointment with him, Dr. Gomez wasn't entirely confident. He therefore felt uneasy about allowing this stranger into his quarters.

Prof. Nath appears older. He has a pretty thin moustache and is rather tall. However, he is bearless. His nose stands out the most amid his exceedingly sharp facial features.

“But why have you come to meet me. I am an Engineer and I have no relation with Linguistics”…Dr.Gomez query the Professor.

“Yes you have. I know that you are interested about ancient texts and the reason I have come here to see you relates to that.”

Gomez was surprised to hear this. As the passion for unravelling mysteries from the ancient text is one of the secret that was only known to three of them. Not even his wife knows about Gomez's passion. How could this person have known this?

Prof. Nath grinned and said, "Do not be amazed, Dr. Gomez.""Your acquaintance Mr.Ghose has given me your address and informed me that you are the only person who can help me in solving this mystery. You will also be delighted to know that both of your friends are coming to your place day after tomorrow for this same purpose.”

“But why in my place?”..Gomez was a little irritated as he was planning for a sweet holiday with his lovely wife. But now it seems that plan will not take place as he knows his friends. They were not coming here without any reason. Something is really important here.

“May I come in?”

“Yes, Professor…please come in and take your seat.”

“Thank you.”…Prof.Nath took his seat and started his story.

"The mystery pertains exclusively to Damchara, and that's why myself and your friends will gather in your home. as you are staying here for a long time"

“What” Dr.Gomez got startled…”Tell me the entire story, Professor”

“Sure.”

TO INCULCATE THE HABIT AS GOOD LISTNER

TO INCULCATE THE HABIT AS GOOD LISTNER

Another important prerequisite to become highly successful and win the excellent good relationship is to be a good listener.

If you observe the people around you, most of them would take up the role of speakers, but not the listeners. If you are giving any chance for the person to talk, he will talk to you more and more about the problem, his life adventures and goes on and on, because in reality, there is a huge shortage of listeners.

If you are a good listener, you will understand the other persons personality trades, which were in turn help you to detail him accordingly.  You will come to know for example, about your priorities, hobbies, his positive and negative points and lot of other aspects about which you will stimulate some kind of emotional interest in him and get the job done. 

On the other hand, if you are a speaker you will not be able to gain anything much because you are giving more and more about information to other persons and you are not getting anything from him. So, the exchange is imbalance.

Hence, in life, please try to cultivate the habit as good listener than speaker. Whenever asks for any suggestion at that tie you can give him in a subtle way and positive way, that is again using the technique ‘Agee to Disagree” or ‘Yes But No’ technique. This way, it is very easy to understand other human being as a very good listener.

A person who talks very less and gets the jobs done is the real creative sales person according to most successful managers of a highly reputable firm.

We were having a very light dinner at one Restaurant. This manager whose name was Mr. Gopalakrishnan was very well known and very much experienced in a multinational company.  Casually we were discussing and when I asked him, according to him, who was the best person in sales, he told me a person, who talks less and gets more, would be the best and is a matured sales person.

This is what he told me. Never interrupt any person who has been telling about himself on any subject, never, never and ever try to interrupt. One should do it so out of some curiosity or some hastiness or may be to impress the other person; you would have lost the track. Never interrupt when somebody is talking to you particularly in official life.

In personal life, if you are finding the subject very boring, you can break it up. But, in real life, when you talking to an elderly person with whom you had some proposal or some official work, never interrupt and never impose your ideas or impressions without asking for, on him.

THE UNIVERSAL PRINCIPLE OF EXCHANGE OF ENERGTY

THE UNIVERSAL PRINCIPLE 
OF
EXCHANGE OF ENERGY

The Universe is full of exchange of energies. There is a standard and universal principle in the nature and there is always exchange of energies. When we say exchange, this exchange takes place between two or more number of people. We are living in the society and we are not alone in the society. All of us are contributing something to the society and hence there is always exchange of energies. This is the guiding principle in the famous proverb which says “What you sow so shall you reap.” To make it very simple if you sow the seed of love, in return or in exchange you will get many folds of energy of love.

Just as when you are sowing a seed, when you are offering water, when you are preparing the salt and you are taking care that the plant is receiving proper sunlight if you nurture the seed regularly it means that you are spending some energy of love, care. And as a result of spending the energy a small sapling comes out and grows into a plant or tree and against one seed you will get plenty of fruits, vegetables, flowers, fruits and also oxygen. A plant takes carbon-di-oxide and gives out Oxygen. Therefore, you cannot expect anything in return without giving anything from your side.

There is a deepest urge in all the human beings to get appreciation, attention, recognition and feeling of importance, honor etc. If you want people to appreciate, in return you need to appreciate others, if you want attention from the other people or the society; you need to give attention to the people or the society. If you want to get name and fame you also have to give name and fame to others. Like this we can give plenty of examples. On the contrary if you are giving the negative energy, you will get or you will receive negative energy only in many folds just like if you are planting a seed of thorny plant which gives a plant or a tree only with thorns. If you are doing a misdeed or harm and this misdeed or harm will manifest by many folds in the form of thorns and poisonous seeds. Hence, we need to remember that there is always an exchange of energies. If you are giving out the negative energy, in return you will receive the negative energy by many folds as we have illustrated in the above example. This is how the nature awards us.

If you want to be successful in your life, if you want to be well acceptable by the society first of all, you have to learn to give out something useful for the society. Even if you do not expect also you will be rewarded. Most of the people complain that they were not rewarded properly in spite of the fact that they have put forth lot of hard work. But this is not true. Nature is never biased. Everything is guarded by the standard well set rules by the nature. Nature does not have any discrimination. Hence, we need to be very careful in what we say and in what we do. In most of the spiritual books the wise men have confirmed that the most powerful energy is the energy of the love. This energy of love can change the atmosphere around you. And only thing is this energy has to be pure without any selfish desires. This is how the nature responds and awards. Hence whatever you want from the society because it is the society first gives you. You need to give the same kind of energy to the society unconditionally. Now let us examine the pre-requisites of a successful and a happy human being who is very well accepted by the society. First let us discuss about the physical appearance. As a person you need to interact with the other person or persons in your day-to-day activities. The people will not see your personality and most of the people they misunderstand by the word personality. They think that physical characters or the physical attitudes are the personality. But personality is nothing but the sum of physical and mental attitudes. More so, the mental attitudes as they reflect in the physical attitudes. Mental attitudes cannot be seen. When you are meeting any person or persons in your life for the first time may be if you are attending the interview, playing a game or any sports, attending a social function for the first time the people will not see your inner personality, your mental attitudes. What they see is your physical appearance. Hence the physical appearance is very important when you are meeting the people on different occasions. The dress code is very important. If you are attending an interview wearing sober colored dress, polished shoes and properly trimmed hair cut with a smiling face, the interviewer will be impressed and will give a positive response. Neat dress need not be costly one but simple one light colored and neatly pressed without any folds as wise people long time back told that “The first appearance is the best appearance”. Hence, we need to give definitely a lot of importance to our physical appearance. Then why only these sober colors why not dark colors? The Light colors have a very soothing effect on the other person as colors have their own vibratory levels. They have their own vibrations and these vibrations are very magnetic. These vibrations are the manifestation of your inner personality which is your mental attitude. This magnetic field around you will affect the other person in a positive way. When you are alert, disciplined, self-confident, thorough in the subject and you know how to behave will be reflected through your physical attributes. Therefore, the dress code is very important. If you are wearing dark colors definitely these dark colors distract the attention of the other person and you will not get a positive response in most of the cases. A lot of research has been done on the effect of colors and many giant organizations pay huge amount of money to the experts. Experts have done lot of research on the colors. Even though you are highly educated, a very knowledgeable person, but your dress code is not proper and imagine you are facing the interview for the first time there are chances that the interviewer will not be having a positive impression about you. Once an impression is made it is very difficult for him to change the impression on you. Hence the physical and the mental attitudes they have to match perfectly.

Most of the time even the odor or the smell of the sweat disturbs other person. And hence If you have the tendency of too much perspiration you can spray mild perfume which will give out pleasant response from the other people

VISION AND REMEDIES ON DIVORCE

VISION AND REMEDIES ON DIVORC 

Marriages and performing marriages are very old traditions.  Marriages are performed in great style.  During the marriage functions, huge amounts are spent, for various purposes.  Marriage is a onetime function in one’s life.  Everybody hopes and expects that the bride and bridegroom should lead a happy marriage life.  After marriage, both bride and bridegroom should understand each other in every aspect, including financial, domestic, relationships and also professional career aspects.  It is, of course, to have a good insight on these aspects.  In earlier years, say during 1950’s to 2000’s, many marriages that took place and were successfully established their family in spite of many difficulties including financial aspects.  The problems were not there with the husband and wife till 2000 year.

            The problems slowly started emanating since the introduction of computerization.  Everybody became qualified, everybody became software engineers and everybody became earning members.  Moreover, huge salaries were being received especially by the ITeans in the IT sector.  Slowly, likes and dislikes started amongst many newlywed couple.  One does not know why?  There was lot of resentments with the newly married people.  The reasons are self-explanatory and may be plenty.  During the recent past, mostly in IT field who were working on software side and other related fields, love affairs became common.  Many marriages took place.  Simultaneously, there were many divorce cases.  The reasons for divorce are not well known.  Some people work at America, some people work at UK, some at Singapore, Australia, and Germany etc. 

Generally software people, who ones leave India for careers sake, never return to India.  People get settled at somewhere in some country.  They even become green card holders.  These people never bothered to get married up to the age of 35-40 years.  Many of the divorce cases are pending in various courts in India. These cases go on dragging.  Even parents are never bothered about their children’s marriage performance.

            One B Tech Itean marriage took place in India four years back with one B Tech girl.  Both went to America.  What transpired between them was not known.  The girl opted for divorce.  The divorce came after 5 years. The bridegroom had paid compensation around Rs 10.00 lakhs to the bride. There were several divorce cases pending in the courts for want of divorce. It looks that divorce has become common and regular feature.  On many petty, silly and waste matters, young couples are opting for divorce.  Most of the parents are the worried lot.  One does not know why things are leading to divorce.  It looks; we have been observing so many of misunderstandings with the new couples.  In some cases, in spite of counseling, people are not adhering and going in for divorce cases.  It looks, there is somewhere, some problem exists.

            In another known divorce case, one B Tech boy, software engineer married to one MCA girl.  Within three months, the girl opted for divorce from the boy.  One does not know any reason for this.  The bride’s parents looks to have played a major role in this. This incident happened one year ago.  Both bride and bridegroom are presently living separately.  The bride is yet to file a divorce case in the court of law.  It takes another 3-4 years easily for getting divorce in the court of law.

Before the Marriage engagement function, Both the Bridegroom and the Bride have to register their names with the competent authority of that jurisdiction or with Sub-Registrar of Marriages or any Authorized Nodal Agency or with any Government nominated Nodal Agencies either directly or through eSeva or Mee Seva Center’s, and a Certificate to the effect that so and so would like to get Marriage engagement on such a particular day, month and year and following by Marriage on a particular day, month and year.  This is only an intimation to the Government through proper channels, so that, the Government would be kept informed about the Marriage engagement and Marriage Function of particular Bridegroom and Bride. So also, local Station House Officer [Police Station] also to be kept informed about the Marriage engagement and Marriage Function with dates fixed for these functions. This will definitely, avoid future problems, troubles and other unforeseen marriage litigations and post-marriage complications, if any, arising out of misunderstandings in both the family groups. This system will work out well, and could possibly avoid post-marriage mis-understandings which may lead to divorce.

Presently, after Marriage is over, the new couple are going in for Marriage Certificates and approaching the Sub-Registrar’s Office or any authorized e-Seva or Mee Seva Centre’s for issue of Marriage Certificate. These are all called post-de-facto Certificates.

In advance, obtaining the Marriage Engagement Certificate and followed by Marriage Certificate, could reduce divorce cases.

            Parent’s involvement with the young couples looks to be the primary aspect.  Parents influence is the cause for many broken marriages.  One do not know why parents to interfere in the newlywed couple’s life.  Always new couples should be asked to live separately.

            Brides parents in India are afraid to perform marriage to bridegrooms working at foreign countries, fearing break-in marriage may take place. Moreover, there are many marriage sites existing in the websites.  It has become a very common feature to search for brides and bridegrooms.  All personal profiles look to be good and attractive.

            Now-a-days, every bride needs a software engineer bridegroom.  The main criteria are the salary package of the bridegroom.  How much bridegroom is earning.  Whether the bridegroom is having any property, lands, own building or flat including a car.  This is the criteria for any bride.  Moreover, brides are not getting married up to the age of 30-35 years. These brides want to earn as much as possible before marriage takes place.  This is the state of affair. When compared to present trend of marriages, alliances in olden day’s marriage, alliances took place in a very simple manner. Though in olden days, there was no much of money circulation, all the marriages were performed well and almost all the marriages got well established.  The problem has cropped-up, when the IT field is in full swing.  It looks, IT field only the root cause for divorce cases and break-in-marriages. One will pray The God that no more divorce cases are foreseen in the near future.

The Vision of a Bride before marriage alliance is needed, so as to assess the bridegroom’s habits.  This vision is to be counselled to all would be brides well before hand. This vision will enable would be brides to assess the bridegroom’s habits.  If this is assessed well before hand, then there will not be much of Divorce cases in the near future. This type of vision is essentially needed in these years.

To some extent remedies, after marriage, to avoid divorce would also work-out. But, however, such remedies go a long way and sometimes it may work out positively or may not work. But, divorce cases shall be avoided if proper care and remedies are taken. The first and the foremost point is to see that the Husband should not take any alcoholic drugs or drinks.  This is the main reason where marriage life get broke. For example, I will give below a small article like story, which will enlighten the couples and also would be bride and bridegrooms.

The main reason for the divorce are the habits of husbands. Husbands bad habits like drinking, drug addicting, gambling committing more debts and making uneasy environment in the family circles lead to Divorce. The remedies are essentially needed for such people. More of counselling is needed to such alcohol addicted husbands.

As an Author, I have number of friends who are regular drinkers in the social circles.  Drinking alcohol is not an issue. One can drink on few occasions. There is no problem.  But, continuously taking alcohol, day-in and day-out and dreaming high and building castles in the air, is not at all correct.  Many people lost even their lives due to high and regular drinking.  In this aspect, I would like to project few of the incidents below for the information and knowledge of all the readers.

            DRUNKARDS live in third world, enjoy and dream more. In this world of life, some people are accustomed and habituated to social drinking of alcohol including wine, vodka, brandy, and cocktails.  Taking alcohol in business sector for maintaining business relations is one thing.  Consuming alcohol of different types including foreign brands, standard brands, local made alcohol by upper middle class people are another thing.  Enjoying all types of alcohol brands each day by middle class people and lower middle class people on some occasions, looks to be common everywhere.  Taking local made liquor and other local made cheap liquor and toddy is very common and frequent by the hard labor.

            All the Governments are getting quite a good amount of revenue through the sale of different types of various liquor brands.  Few Governments depend for substantial revenue through various types of taxes.  Some Governments encourage liquor sales and some Governments do not encourage liquor sales.  Few Governments, on earlier occasions banned liquor sales in their respective States, landed in trouble due to huge loss of Government revenue thereby failed to run the governance and administration and even lost the political power. On later years, the same Governments which banned the liquor revoked the sale of liquor to raise the revenue substantially.

            Drinking alcohol in top circles (social, business, and political circles) has become the order of the day.  Lest, it is difficult to maintain the good business-socio-political relations at all levels.  Taking top alcohol brands, foreign brands, whisky and scotch in such top circles, looks to be a fashion and necessary; whereas, consuming liquor each day-in and day-out and partying every day may lead to problems.  Few people only can afford to lead such lavish style of life.

            Some upper middle class people in various business fields and sectors take regular drunks. Mostly now-a-days is seen in Information Technology field, consume liquor on week-ends and enjoy a lot.  But, this is also a costly affair.  Many people are in the middle class sector habituated to liquor of all brands and consume liquor on daily basis, by spending their hard earned money.  Even hard labor consumes local made liquor brands each day by almost spending their 60 percent of earnings.

            There are many risks involved after consuming liquor.  Number of people each day fall prey to road accidents, while some people who drive in intoxicated condition their two and four wheelers also meet with accidents.

            I have seen many people and few known friends who take alcohol on regular basis right from morning and evening are financially helpless condition to meet their family expenses and are unable to meet their regular needs for their children’s education.  It is quite a saddening affair.  Even some people who consume liquor daily are branded as ‘Drunkard’ and no social respect is given to them.

            I will give one example which I had. On one occasion, I engaged an auto-rickshaw to go to city shopping mall.  The auto driver had put on start the digital auto meter.  After passing some distance, I was getting some alcoholic type smell in the auto-rickshaw.  I thought, it was some petrol or diesel smell.  After some time, I thought it was gas auto-rickshaw. After few minutes, I thought it fit to ask the auto driver about the smell which was emanating from the auto. I was able to judge that it was alcohol smell coming from the auto driver.  No doubt, I was correct in my thinking. It was alcohol smell. Then I asked the auto-rickshaw driver whether he was intoxicated with alcoholic drunk.  He replied boldly, stating that Sir, I took a small quantum of liquor. I told him to stop the auto-rickshaw.  Immediately, the driver of the auto stopped.  I asked him, why you took alcohol when you are taking the passengers, while charging for auto service.  Is it not your duty to see the passenger’s safety?  He politely replied, sir, sorry.  It was a mistake taking alcohol and driving the auto.  I told him that, if you continue to take liquor or alcohol at this middle age, then, I don’t think you will live long and you will not be able to see your children’s marriages and your grandchildren.  Moreover, I told your spouse will have to do servant-maid job, or beg people for survival in case of any harm is done to your life.

            I told the auto driver straight-away that, people who are intoxicated with third brand liquor, or local made liquor will not live long.

            Then the auto driver replied, sir, I will stop drinking habit from now-on.  The driver realized the truth in my speaking to him on the facts.  I got down at my place and the auto driver refused to take auto charges for my good advice.

Drunkard habits are like this:

They abscond to offices.  They never work.  They make money by pledging various articles including gold and silver for the sake of drinking.  They quarrel when they are in bad moods.  They don’t speak properly.  They even speak vulgar language outside as well as at home.  They even quarrel with counterparts and their own children.  They live in third world and their dreams are high.  They make unnecessary chit-chat, speak on waste subjects and make time pass without any productive work.

            Intoxicated and drug addicted people never listen to others. They spend money towards alcohol, wine and on intoxicated items and never give money to their spouse and children.

            I have seen many of the drunkards lost their jobs, dislocated their family status, landed in many criminal cases.

Generally drunkards become gamblers in one way or the other. Gambling in the sense, playing cards, horse racing, Number games, Lottery, betting on various sports.  It is observed that quite a number of horse racing punters consume liquor and bet during horse races on horses.  It is very common that people play cards while consuming liquor of their choice and simultaneously smoke cigarettes.

One could see in many places very lengthy parked motor cycles and cards in front of wine shops, Bars and Restaurants, Toddy shops and in front of Janata Bars and Star Hotels.  Many of the Wine Shops are located in thick residential places, near to temples, and even adjacent to schools/colleges/offices/bus stands/railway stations.  Every drunkard spends money on local brand liquor and waste time, energy and loose health.  Even some regular drunkard’s beg small amounts of money and ask hot drinks from some known drunkard-mates.

Some Governments owned Wine Shops earn substantial revenue directly. All the people are influenced to take the liquor on one occasion or the other.

It is a very well-known fact, that in any major political election, municipal elections, local body elections, panchayat elections, company/factory elections, society elections etc., the liquor flows like water.  Without the supply of liquor, people looks like not tempted to work or participate in elections.  These are the back-door methods to tempt a person.

Some people consume liquor due to frustrations, family problems, financial problems, domestic problems and what not problems.  Of course, reasons are plenty to consume liquor.  Persons who are alcoholics have one reason or the other to substantiate them.  Naturally regular alcoholics will not find their growth easy.  Their family life gets dislocated and disturbed.  They often lose patience. They land in financial troubles.  They never get social respect in family and friends circle.  They are never able to meet good medical treatments in needs of time, due to lack of funds.  People never come forward to help morally or financially to drunkards.

In some States, liquor flow looks to be seen as more than cash flow.  In some States and villages drinking water is not available to common person; but, all types of liquor is made available at cost.  At some places, whoever purchases liquor, water of 100 Milli Liter or 200 Milli Liter sachets are given free of cost.

It is, many a times observed that drunkards and regular alcohol drinkers are always irregular to their professional works, due to uneasy, ill-health and hangovers.  Regular drunkards mind will be very simple, that they want to consume liquor some-how.  Drunkards always speak non-stop and good orators at that particular intoxication ti8me and power of speech will be more. They get extra energy at some particular point of time.  But, drunkards become weak and slowly lose their health and land in major health problems.  Drunkard’s longevity is reduced.  Drunkards lose their social status, family reputation will be lost, living standards will fall-down, and social respect will be lost, children’s education will be disturbed and many long run family troubles and disturbances are to be foreseen, which even can lead to divorce of husband and wife, all due to consumption of alcohol, infighting within the family and domestic circles will be frequent and regular.

For alcoholics and drunkards, there are de-addiction centers, rehabilitation centers, nature cure centers and many other Non-Governmental Organization centers could be seen at number of places.  Such centers addresses could be located through search engine websites like yahoo.com, google.com, rediffmail.com etc.

Drunkards can reduce their drinking habits, smoking habits and other narcotic drugs habits slowly, if they want to stop consumption of all types of intoxicated items.  Every person has got The God given Will Power.

All the good habits Pay on one day or the other to a person and for bad habits one has to pay the cost at one time or the other.

 

Thank  You

Literary Field Research on

WORDS, WORDS, WORDS

NON-LINGUISTIC LANGUAGE is generally mingled and used in other languages by many people, when they are in other languages spoken places.

Even the foreigner's languages are quite often mingled with other languages due to expression of words and speaking problem People who live in State/Country borders, the impact of mingled or clubbed languages used will be high and is very often observed. 

European languages like Italian, Russian, Spanish, Greek, Latin, are sometimes inter and intra-mingled and like that in Indian Languages, Sanskrit, Pali, Devangari, Dravida, Arabic, Parsi words are mostly mingled and inter & intra-connected while speaking and writing. In the present globalization scenario, many words of different country's languages are used very often so that people are able to understand what the other person is saying.

People like motherland and mother tongue language, respect their language and shower affection on their local language and would like to express their feeling while speaking/writing. This is called Sahityam, which speaks of literary expertise in respective living literary areas.

The language spoken/written indicates people’s culture and national integration.

The word makes magic in our lives. The love, passion fashion, mission, relation etc will be in order, when we use words properly, sensibly and tactfully.

Languages are made to use accordingly to the situation using proper proverbs, quotations, phrases, short stories, examples, experiences to give effective suggestions when people in problems will definitely give solace when you work with proper modulation. 

It gives more impact and importance to the situation.

When you want to give the information, you should use words properly and with firm voice. 

Use minimum words and try to convey the message. 

Lengthy and deviated conversation weakens the purpose.

They may lose the interest to get information or suggestions. 

All the time we can not practice the type of procedure.

By seeing the situation, we can change phrases, quotations, proverbs make the conversation very interesting and effective.

A balanced positive talk with durable pleasant positive vibration makes the other person feel like spending more time in your company.

A kind of bond will be created.

We should use the language with proper pitch and it should depict your feelings, emotions, reactions and your moods.

Accordingly, the other person should understand and react into the situation.

The language or the words should convey the message correctly without confusion.

Practicing this usage of words is very easy.

Keep the mind cool and clear in your thoughts.

Be firm when you want to convey the message. 

Do not get confused when others disturb you.

While you talk with others, words usage should be limited.

When you put it on the paper it can convey the message properly and completely with balanced good expression.

Indian languages have so many appropriate, expressive words.

We can play with the words to convey any impression, expression, emotion, reaction or feeling and son on.

But think with the mind, heart and soul.

Think in a positive way and deliver with proper words.

People should remember and think of you like a human being 

Another important aspect which could change and transform your life in a better way by increasing your influence and improving your relationship and lead to the road of success depends on using the words carefully while speaking to others.

The words are very important and powerful tools and it all depends on how you use these words.

As explained in earlier lectures, these words carry tremendous energy of your strong intent or will.

The energy of confidence, the energy of your assertiveness and these words which are nothing but sounds carry a very powerful magnetic field which is very intelligent.

When these words are spoken with 100 percent pure intent, honesty, conviction etc of the positive energies, it will affect the magnetic field of listener or listeners.

Every human being, being a magnetic will have his own magnetic field which is invisible and forms a circle around the body.

When we give speech in the form of words of magnetic sounds, it touches the magnetic field of listeners and in physics one reaction takes place which is called as inductance. 

Here, when they are meeting at one point, there will be an exchange of energies and these energies carry your thoughts, your suggestions, your ideas your concepts. 

If your thoughts are full of inner conviction, honesty, pure in nature, will definitely influence the magnetic fields of listener in a very positive way and all will be attracted towards how you and will be more receptive.

While addressing, you should also follow certain tactical steps which we have already described in various prerequisites like change your voice i.e., modulating your voice ups & downs will also have a very good positive impact on others.

This was proved by the scientists working at NASA.

Vedas are recited with a very specific and particular modulation of voice.

When you speak this way, sending the messages in the form of mantras create a very magnetic field which will influence the magnetic fields offers and brings about a positive reaction and response.

Hence, try to culture your voice and you can practice at home, learn how to modulate the voice, when to take the voice up, when to take the voice down.

But one thing, use words in a very proper way.

They should be very polite and very appealing.

I also give lot of importance to the usage of words and nothing but words, because the words are the only powerful tools of the communication.

If the words are not there, there is no communication and when there is no communication there is evolution.

Hence, try to use words very sparingly and talk only when you required.

Thus, you can conserve lot of inner energy.

One small wrongly used word will spoil the entire interview or inter-personal relationship.

Hence, always practice and practice your presentation at home.

One very well-known marketing or a director of a very big pharmaceutical company who had graduated from the Business School of Harvard University had the habit of always doing the presentation all alone much before the actual meeting begins. 

I had seen lot of seniors and highly successful people plan much before and list out things on a piece of paper, make rehearsals, before the actual presentation and achieved tremendous success.

Only one word about which most of the people, mostly the ‘teenagers do not understand, but use vey frequently the word as “individuality”.

Without knowing the deeper meaning of this word, it is misused, misunderstood and misinterpreted by most of the people.

A teenage boy or a girl when the elder’s comment about their dressing code, they react that they had their own individuality, they had their own freedom to wear what they would like to wear. 

This they call as individuality. 

According to them individuality means to have their own freedom starting from the dressing code, their physical appearance, their conscious, their ideas, they germ all these in one single capsule called individuality.

But, one thing they forget is all these impressions, ideas; concepts are formed by watching around their environments.

The type of movies now-a-days they see, the type of magazines, the type of advertisements, the type of concepts they are highly influenced by the surrounding environment.

Even the greatest scientists they confirm those factors with more than genetic effect, the environmental effect works on the personality of the human beings.

Unfortunately, the reading hobby has come down and the type of books available in the market they will never help in the self-development of the individual persons. 

The idea, the concept or the personality trades of the writers are imposed on the young readers who could not differentiate between what was required for their personality development, but on the contrary their emotions are easily influenced. 

As discussed in earlier lectures, the human beings could be stimulated or through their emotions rather than their intellect or the rational thinking. 

The same thing here, it is applied by the producers, directors, actresses and the politicians, the entire environment does not give practical meaning for life.

They always take you in higher up in the fantasies in the dream world.

They always take you away from the reality 

That is the reason most of the teenagers are frustrated and before they realize their potentials, most of them are becoming addicted to alcohol. 

Most of celebrities are having depression, frustration, anxiety, and neurosis and are terminating their lives 

The reason is very simple. It is nothing but the influence of the external factor is influencing your inner personality.

Right from the child-hood, your college atmosphere, the school atmosphere, the ragging by the senior students, in the most uncivilized ways and then the pictures you see, the books reading, the magazines you are reading and the type of friends and the type of movies, all these are making the artificial personality.

Earlier, the scientists used to behave with the genetic influence would be more on the personality trade, but the recent studies have proved that the environment influence is greater than the genetic influence.

Now-a-days, the entire generation is under the influence of the surrounding environment. 

Thus, the real potentials are masked by the artificial real personality trades.

There is always a conflict between the natural personality trades and the acquired personality trades from the surrounding environments and the social conditions. 

That is the reason the teenagers are unable to resolve the inner conflicts, one is natural and the other one is unnatural.

This is the reason most of the youngsters are terminating their lives before realizing the potentials.

The influencing personalities like the cinema stars both actresses and actors are super imposing on the natural personality trades of the youngsters mostly the teenagers.

That is how they lost their own hidden potentials and talents.

Mostly, they have become imitators than originators.

They are capable of producing and contributing so many useful things to the entire world, but unfortunately as informed earlier, that their own personality is being suppressed as they imitate the personality trades of the actors and actresses. 

The quality of the movies, of late, has come down with lower and lower moralities.

Actually, there are no moralities at all in the movies. 

The visual impact is always more influencing and that is what happening at this time and even the advertisements are misleading 

The celebrities do not care for the welfare of the society and for the sake of money, even promote the cheapest products.

The common people will imitate the same thing like smoking cigarettes or using sub-standard products since their beloved heroes advertise.

Thus, unfortunately, the present youth is embracing the un-useful personality trades of the people whose contribution to the society is less than zero.

At least, time has come for the present youth.

This is a wake-up call. Don’t be an imitator. You have tremendous potential.

Try to imitate patriots, the greatest people who have contributed to the society and to the common people of this world.

Also, try to logically analyse what is the meaning of individuality.

You cannot have your own freedom when you are living in a society.

For example, you are studying in a particular school and the school decides the uniform which could be standard for all the students and if you rebel and refuse to wear because there your individuality was hurt, then you will be losing the opportunity of studying in the school along with other students. 

Similarly, if you refuse to follow the dress code in an organization, then you will not get a job.

The present youth of India have got great potentials to develop their own personality instead of being an imposter.

Spend time qualitatively. 

The life is a gift from the God and use the life for the betterment of the society.

Expand your consciousness and live life independently with your own inborn personality trades.

Now, we are dealing with some of the negative energies.

I don’t wish to call them as prerequisites. 

Now-a-days, the entire world is suffering from one disorder or disease called depression or frustration. 

These two are negative energies, but, in my view and frustration are very common.

There is nothing negativity in these energies.

Even the most successful people when they were interviewed confessed that they have also passed different phases in life, the negative energies like depression, anxiety, and frustration.

Most of them could come out from these energies within short span of time.

When a human being is sick immediately the doctor will advise some pathological test.

The patient will be weak, he will have high temperature, he will not have appetite and the blood report reveals there was a presence of bacteria and increased number of WB cells which forms the defensive mechanism of the human body.

Similarly, depression is also a mental action to an inflection.

This is very common and natural. 

Every human being, at one stage or the other will have to pass through these depressions, frustrations, anxiety and lot of other negative energies.

But only thing is that this depression we should not analyse it to survive for a long time.

So, what is the best way to combat this depression or anxiety? 

Even in my case, I had depressions and frustrations on many occasions.

But I allow it to exist for not more than 15 minutes. 

What I do is that, I immediately change my clothing, I take fresh bath, sing a song and whistle the song, and I think all positive achievements in the life and I just go out for a walk, maybe I go to restaurant, have snacks, tea and relax myself. 

The depression has gone within 15 minutes.

Whenever you undergo depression or a frustration, just think of the best moment you had in your life and think all your best achievements in your life.

Every human being is born with tremendous potential and is capable of doing many greater things. 

Unfortunately, because of environmental influence one gets depression.

But he starts remembering his positive achievements and how he had achieved set goals in his life and how he was successful in different fields, he goes to the past and thinks about the happiest moments, the energy of depression will be dissolved and disintegrated immediately.

When you start thinking off your own achievements slowly you gain confidence and when you gain confidence the depression cannot survive in the company of confidence. 

I am once again repeatedly assuring and emphasizing that every human being including the most successful people in the world have passed this depression, anxiety, frustration and disappointments and negative energies. 

But the great quality they had is all are optimistic and hopeful for their future and constantly put forth their efforts.

Similarly, even a common man can become a celebrity or could become potential contributor for the good cause of the society.

For God’s sake, do not to be worried or scared about depression, frustration and they are the part of the life.

Sometimes, the depression will stimulate self confidence in most of the people who have positive thinking. 

This is also a feedback mechanism.

If Mahatma Gandhi was not insulted and not thrown out of the compartment and abused, he would have not become a great leader.

Similarly, you can see the life history of great people, all negative situations, and negative events made them very strong.

Then why you can’t? You can also become and achieve greater things in your life. Never give up hopes always live with hopes. 

After the storm, there is always calm. After the sunshine there are showers of rain.

I once again appeal to all the youngsters, kindly think that you are also made by the God, and the God’s creation there are no clause.

Similarly, in you there is no clause, you are born to do greater things.

You are born to achieve so many things. 

You are born to contribute to the society many good things.

Do not give up.

Wait and wait, try and try, you will definitely achieve your respective goals.

There are so many books which are written on Human Management.

But these books are not necessary to be appropriate in all the situations. 

The human beings are different throughout the world because of their cultures, their habits, and their customs.

What is applicable in India may not be applicable in other foreign countries like African continent or in European countries.

These books will only help to a certain extent.

What you need is your own analysis, or own logical deductions.

Whenever there are failures take some time, analyse and immediately take remedial measures. 

Constantly you have to do self-analysis that is the best way managing the human beings rather than reading the books and applying the same.

The only exceptions in some of the books, which discuss the basic psychological trades, are very useful.

The Upanishads are the best human management books because they have discussed the human personality trades in depth.

As a Training Manager, I read only few books on human management and was not convinced except some books which deal with the human psychology.

I have given lot of examples from my own experience under this title The Game of Life.

Basically, if you want to be successful you have to take lot of interest in other human beings.

By reading books, you are not able to achieve anything.

By reading the human beings in your own practical way, you would understand them and then when you apply the set principles definitely you will be more successful.

The same law is not applicable to every case of human beings.

You need to change your strategies in the same interview many times.

When the customer is closing the door your approach, you need to open another door. When closes that door, try to open another door.

In between these spaces, you should be able to assess the personality of the other human being and then open the door very wide. 

I have tested all these in my personal.

Hence my humble request that you read more and more about human beings’ personality and have your own experience.

Your own experience is the best teacher and the best guide to you.

It does not mean that you should not read other books, but you can read other books.

I try my best to list out all the important prerequisites, but there are many more that you need to find out for yourself.

It is also equally difficult thing for me to write-down lot of other training methods or techniques which could consume volumes and volumes and it would not be appropriate to put those things in our website.

However, those who are interested they van contact me on my contact phone.

Life is an interesting game.

Take lot of interest involving you.

Play the game according to the rules & regulations and improve the skills and enjoy yourself.

The Book Blast Boost: A Tale of Three Words

Once upon a time, in a world not so different from our own, there lived a young girl named Alice. She was an avid reader and spent most of her free time exploring the vast realms of the written word. Alice's favorite pastime was to visit the local library and lose herself in the endless stacks of books.

One day, as she was wandering through the library, she stumbled upon a peculiar book with a worn, leather cover. The title read, "The Book Blast Boost." Intrigued by the unusual name, Alice took the book to a quiet corner and began to read.

The story was about a kingdom ruled by a powerful and wise queen. The kingdom was known for its vast collection of books and the people's love for reading. However, a mysterious curse had befallen the kingdom, causing the books to lose their magic and the people to lose their passion for reading.

Determined to save her kingdom, the queen sought the help of three magical creatures: the Book, the Blast, and the Boost. The Book was a wise old tome that knew the secrets of the written word. The Blast was a fiery creature that could ignite the passion for reading in the hearts of the people. The Boost was a powerful being that could amplify the magic of the books.

Together, the Book, the Blast, and the Boost embarked on a quest to break the curse and restore the kingdom's love for reading. They traveled through enchanted forests, crossed treacherous mountains, and braved the depths of dark caves. Along the way, they encountered many challenges, but their determination never wavered.

Finally, they reached the heart of the curse, a dark, swirling vortex that threatened to consume the kingdom. The Book, the Blast, and the Boost joined hands and combined their powers. A blinding light filled the sky, and a powerful blast of energy swept through the kingdom, breaking the curse and restoring the magic of the books.

The people of the kingdom rejoiced and once again embraced their love for reading. The queen was overjoyed and forever grateful to the Book, the Blast, and the Boost. She declared a grand celebration in their honor, and the kingdom was filled with joy and laughter.

Alice closed the book and smiled, feeling a sense of warmth and happiness. She realized that the power of books, the passion for reading, and the magic of stories could overcome any challenge and bring people together. From that day on, she cherished her time with books even more, knowing that they held the key to a world of endless possibilities.

And so, the tale of the Book Blast Boost became a beloved story in the kingdom, reminding everyone of the importance of reading and the magic it holds.
