So often, it's the simplest acts of courage that touch the lives of others. Sudha Murty-through the exceptional work of the Infosys Foundation as well as through her own youth, family life and travels-encounters many such stories . . . and she tells them here in her characteristically clear-eyed, warm-hearted way. She talks candidly about the meaningful impact of her work in the devadasi community, her trials and tribulations as the only female student in her engineering college and the unexpected and inspiring consequences of her father's kindness. From the quiet joy of discovering the reach of Indian cinema and the origins of Indian vegetables to the shallowness of judging others based on appearances, these are everyday struggles and victories, large and small.Unmasking both the beauty and ugliness of human nature, each of the real-life stories in this collection is reflective of a life lived with grace.

The last lecture by randy pausch — The last lecture by randy pausch

₹240

A lot of professors give talks titled 'The Last Lecture'. Professors are asked to consider their demise and to ruminate on what matters most to them: What wisdom would we impart to the world if we knew it was our last chance? If we had to vanish tomorrow, what would we want as our legacy?When Randy Pausch, a computer science professor at Carnegie Mellon, was asked to give such a lecture, he didn't have to imagine it as his last, since he had recently been diagnosed with terminal cancer. But the lecture he gave, 'Really Achieving Your Childhood Dreams', wasn't about dying. It was about the importance of overcoming obstacles, of enabling the dreams of others, of seizing every moment (because time is all you have and you may find one day that you have less than you think). It was a summation of everything Randy had come to believe. It was about living.In this book, Randy Pausch has combined the humour, inspiration, and intelligence that made his lecture such a phenomenon and given it an indelible form. It is a book that will be shared for generations to come.

₹300 ~~₹399~~

25% off

Avul Pakir Jainulabdeen Abdul Kalam, the son of a little-educated boat-owner in Rameswaram, Tamil Nadu, had an unparalleled career as a defence scientist, culminating in the highest civilian award of India, the Bharat Ratna. As chief of the country's defence research and development programme, Kalam demonstrated the great potential for dynamism and innovation that existed in seemingly moribund research establishments. This is the story of Kalam's rise from obscurity and his personal and professional struggles, as well as the story of Agni, Prithvi, Akash, Trishul and Nag-missiles that have become household names in India and that have raised the nation to the level of a missile power of international reckoning. This is also the saga of independent India's struggle for technological self-sufficiency and defensive autonomy-a story as much about politics, domestic and international, as it is about science.

Toppers study hack — Toppers study hack

A MUST READ FOR EVERY STUDENTAfter interacting with thousands of students and interviewing 100's of Toppers, I realized that most of the students score less not because of lack of knowledge or hard work or intelligence but because of lack of guidance, planned approach and poor study techniques. So, the problem most of the students face is not of potential but of converting that potential into performance. Hard work should bring achievement but only when coupled with efficient and appropriate study techniques and proper strategy.The book recapitulates and reinforces the basic strategies adopted by Toppers and helps in mastering study skills and techniques for efficient learning. This book would tell how to develop the right attitude towards an exam and also offer useful suggestions to overcome negativity and improve one's mental endurance and performance in crucial exams like Boards, JEE, NEET, and many more.Table of ContentsCompetitive Examinations: Myths & Realities• Board Exams Vs Competitive Exams• Are Toppers God Gifted?Five Steps of a Smart PreparationStep 1: Positive Attitude, Firm Determination & Well Thought PlanStep 2: Mastering Fundamentals and Learning New SkillsStep 3: How to Sharpen Problem Solving Skills?Step 4: Improving Your OutputStep 5: Action Plan# Consolidation Phase (6 To 8 Weeks before Exams)# Rapid Review Phase (7-10 Days before Exams)# Tips & Techniques on “How to attempt a Paper?”# How to Learn Physics / Chemistry / Mathematics / Biology better & Faster?# Beyond Marks# Role of Parents# Frequently Asked Questions# Values for Success # The Different Strokes
