In this brilliant and original book, Malcolm Gladwell explains and analyses the 'tipping point', that magic moment when ideas, trends and social behaviour cross a threshold, tip and spread like wildfire.

Philosopher and writer Jiddu Krishnamurti’s life has been a source of intrigue and curiosity for those who are acquainted with his oeuvre. In this Hindi translation of Krishnamurti: His Life and Death, Mary Lutyens shares a personal and philosophical account of his life, staying aligned with his beliefs about the world, the nature of knowledge, self, life and death.

A Hindi translation of J. Krishnamurti’s On God - by Sanjeev Kumar Sharma, Vinay Kumar Vaidya and Shakti Kumar - the audiobook is an inquiry into the search for the divine. Can we ever know the unknowable? How do we understand it through our thoughts and experiences? Krishnamurti peels off layers within the eternal quest to know that which is beyond human reality.  

In this Hindi-language translation of The First and Last Freedom, Krishnamurti emphasises on the importance of self-understanding, arguing that truth cannot be found within formal institutions, organised religions and their dogmas or in any guru or outside authority. He claims that we are all operating with the sole focus of the self and its context in time and place - this results in competition, conflict and the constant promotion of one's own self over all others, even those closest to us.  

The journey of motherhood can be a challenging and tumultuous one for a woman.

While socially, motherhood is assumed to be a fulfilling phase in a woman’s life, it is also beset with challenges, and at each stage, the woman also makes a choice about her body, her life, relationships, family and future.
