We live in a world that moves so fast that we re in a perpetual race to keep up without even realizing it. Living in fast-forward mode with no time to breathe is sadly seen as a sign of a successful career or a fabulous social life.

What we re losing sight of is that stress holds us back from reaching our full potential. It makes us uptight.

And it s not just our body that s affected, but also our peace of mind. We re tense, edgy and reactive, effectively blocking the free flow of our creative energy.

The documentation of several havelis in different regions of Rajasthan is further supported by an examination of the various determinants of the haveli (less)

Carrington Turner worked for the Indian Forest Service, and this book is a result of thirty years spent among the animals in the Indian Jungles. Each of these stories is true, but what makes this book different is the author's understanding of the forest and his respect for animal life.

Through these well-told dangerous tales of man-eaters, the author constantly explains the reason why such beautiful, clever and graceful creatures like leopards and tigers who in the ordinary course of their lives feed on natural prey suddenly turn savage and evilly-disposed to humans. The reasons hold true (less)
