Interpreter of Maladies
Pulitzer-winning, scintillating studies in yearning and exile from a Bengali Bostonian woman of immense promise.A couple exchange unprecedented confessions during nightly blackouts in their Boston apartment as they struggle to cope with a heartbreaking loss; a student arrives in new lodgings in a mystifying new land and, while he awaits the arrival of his arranged-marriage wife from Bengal, he finds his first bearings with the aid of the curious evening rituals that his centenarian landlady orchestrates; a schoolboy looks on while his childminder finds that the smallest dislocation can unbalance her new American life all too easily and send her spiralling into nostalgia for her homeland…Jhumpa Lahiri’s prose is beautifully measured, subtle and sober, and she is a writer who leaves a lot unsaid, but this work is rich in observational detail, evocative of the yearnings of the exile (mostly Indians in Boston here), and full of emotional pull and reverberation.

Numbers Don’t Lie: 71 Things You Need to Know About the World
Is flying dangerous? How much do the world’s cows weigh? And what makes people happy?
From earth’s nations and inhabitants, through the fuels and foods that energize them, to the transportation and inventions of our modern world – and how all of this affects the planet itself – in Numbers Don’t Lie, Professor Vaclav Smil takes us on a fact-finding adventure, using surprising statistics and illuminating graphs to challenge lazy thinking.
Packed with ‘well-I-never-knew-that’ information and with fascinating and unusual examples throughout, we see how it is too soon to judge shale gas, that vaccination yields the best return on investment, and why electric cars aren’t as great as we think (yet). There’s a wonderful mix of science, history and wit, all in bite-sized chapters on a broad range of topics.
Should you trust unemployment figures? Is China’s rise unstoppable? And what’s worse for the environment: your car or mobile phone?
Unclouded by pessimism or optimism and unafraid of big questions, Smil explains why calls for the Anthropocene era may be premature but why the Paris Agreement does not go far enough. These issues are not straightforward and progress takes longer than you think, but with Smil as our authoritative and entertaining guide we get a healthy shot of realism.
Urgent and essential, Numbers Don’t Lie is a powerful rallying cry for interrogating what you take to be true in these significant times. Smil is on a mission to make facts matter, because after all, numbers may not lie, but which truth do they convey?

Win Your Inner Battles: Defeat The Enemy Within and Live With Purpose
Do you want to change your career? Start a business? Stop losing sleep over a deadline? End your relationship? Or maybe, just live a fulfilling life? Everyone has goals and ambitions in life. But we often don’t pursue our inner desires because of one thing: Fear and a lack of self-confidence.
In Win Your Inner Battles (previously titled Massive Life Success), I document my own journey of conquering fear and a lack of self-confidence.
After years of failure and doubt, I finally had a wake-up call in January 2015. My grandmother, who helped raised me, passed away and I realized that time waits for no one.
Whatever you want to do, you have to do it now. It’s not the economy, politics, or your personal circumstances that are holding you back. You are the one that’s holding yourself back.
It’s time to win your inner battles and live on your own terms. And in this book, I will take you on the same journey I took to win my inner battles.

Rich People Problems (Crazy Rich Asians #2)
Kevin Kwan, bestselling author of Crazy Rich Asians and China Rich Girlfriend, is back with an uproarious new novel featuring a family driven by fortune, an ex-wife driven psychotic with jealousy, a battle royal fought through couture-gown sabotage, and the heir to one of Asia’s greatest fortunes locked out of his inheritance.
When Nicholas Young hears that his grandmother, Su Yi, is on her deathbed, he rushes to be by her bedside—but he’s not alone. The entire Shang-Young clan has convened from all corners of the globe to stake claim to their matriarch’s massive fortune. With each family member vying to inherit Tyersall Park—a trophy estate on sixty-four prime acres in the heart of Singapore—Nicholas’ childhood home turns into a hotbed of backbiting and intrigue. As Su Yi’s relatives fight over heirlooms, Astrid Leong is at the center of her own storm, desperately in love with her old sweetheart Charlie Wu but tormented by her ex-husband—a man hell-bent on destroying Astrid’s reputation and relationship. Meanwhile, Kitty Pong, married to China’s second richest man, Jack Bing, still feels upstaged by her new stepdaughter, famous fashionista Colette Bing.
In this sweeping tale that takes us from the elegantly appointed mansions of Manila to the secluded private islands in the Sulu Sea, from a kidnapping at Hong Kong’s most elite private school to a surprise marriage proposal at an Indian palace that is caught on camera by the telephoto lenses of paparazzi, Kevin Kwan hilariously reveals the long-buried secrets of Asia’s most privileged families and their rich people problems.

Pyramid Yantra for Vaastu
The Pyramid Yantra is an integral element of Vaastu Shastra, the ancient Indian architectural science focused on creating harmonious living spaces. This yantra uses the pyramid’s unique shape, believed to possess powerful energy-enhancing properties, to balance and amplify energy fields within a structure. By replicating the proportions and angles of the Great Pyramid of Giza, Pyramid Yantras are designed to harness cosmic energy effectively. They offer a practical solution to correct Vaastu defects, known as Vaastu doshas, without necessitating significant structural alterations.
Placement is crucial for the effectiveness of Pyramid Yantras. These small, three-dimensional models, often crafted from materials like crystal, copper, or brass, are strategically positioned in specific areas to rectify energy imbalances. Common locations include the center of a house (Brahmasthan), corners, entrances, and places identified with Vaastu defects. In larger spaces or for more complex energy corrections, multiple Pyramid Yantras can be employed to enhance the flow of positive energy and mitigate negative influences.
The benefits of using Pyramid Yantras are substantial. They promote health, wealth, and overall well-being by optimizing the flow of positive energy. Users report improved mental clarity, peace, and a more harmonious living environment. Additionally, Pyramid Yantras provide a non-invasive method for addressing Vaastu defects, avoiding the need for costly renovations, and protecting against negative influences and harmful radiation. Regular cleansing and proper placement of these yantras ensure their continued effectiveness, making them a powerful tool for aligning one’s environment with the principles of Vaastu Shastra.
