ലക്ഷകണക്കിനു മലയാളികള് ഗള്ഫില് ജീവിക്കുന്നു, ലക്ഷങ്ങള് ജീവിച്ചു തിരിച്ചു പോയിരിക്കുന്നു. ഇതില് എത്ര പേര് മരുഭൂമിയുടെ തീക്ഷ്ണത സത്യമായും അനുഭവിച്ചിട്ടുണ്ട്. ആ തീക്ഷ്ണത തൊട്ടറിഞ്ഞ, അഥവാ മണല്പരപ്പിലെ ജീവിതം ചുട്ടുപൊള്ളിച്ച നജീബ് എന്നയാളുടെ അനുഭവമാണ് ആടുജീവിതത്തിനു പ്രേരണയായതെന്ന് നോവലിസ്റ്റ് ബെന്യാമിന് പറയുന്നു. പ്രവാസജീവിതത്തിലെ തികച്ചും വ്യത്യസ്തമായ ഒരേട്.
Richard Branson: Losing My Virginity
"Oh, screw it, let's do it."That's the philosophy that has allowed Richard Branson, in slightly more than twenty-five years, to spawn so many successful ventures. From the airline business (Virgin Atlantic Airways), to music (Virgin Records and V2), to cola (Virgin Cola), to retail (Virgin Megastores), and nearly a hundred others, ranging from financial services to bridal wear, Branson has a track record second to none.Losing My Virginity is the unusual, frequently outrageous autobiography of one of the great business geniuses of our time. When Richard Branson started his first business, he and his friends decided that "since we're complete virgins at business, let's call it just that: Virgin." Since then, Branson has written his own "rules" for success, creating a group of companies with a global presence, but no central headquarters, no management hierarchy, and minimal bureaucracy.Many of Richard Branson's companies--airlines, retailing, and cola are good examples--were started in the face of entrenched competition. The experts said, "Don't do it." But Branson found golden opportunities in markets in which customers have been ripped off or underserved, where confusion reigns, and the competition is complacent. And in this stressed-out, overworked age, Richard Branson gives us a new model: a dynamic, hardworking, successful entrepreneur who lives life to the fullest. Family, friends, fun, and adventure are equally important as business in Branson's life. Losing My Virginity is a portrait of a productive, sane, balanced life, filled with rich and colorful stories: Crash-landing his hot-air balloon in the Algerian desert, yet remaining determined to have another go at being the first to circle the globeSigning the Sex Pistols, Janet Jackson, the Rolling Stones, Boy George, and Phil CollinsFighting back when British Airways took on Virgin Atlantic and successfully suing this pillar of the British business establishmentSwimming two miles to safety during a violent storm off the coast of MexicoSelling Virgin Records
The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin
An apprentice to his brother at twelve, a writer at sixteen, a printer at twenty-two, and an inventor at thirty-six, Benjamin Franklin was a renowned polymath and a scientist extraordinaire. A member of the Committee of Five that drafted and presented America's Declaration of Independence, Benjamin Franklin was one of the Founding Fathers of the United States and was titled 'The First American. With his wit and wisdom shining through every page of this remarkable autobiography, Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin brings for us one of the first examples of the fulfilment of the American Dream. Though an unfinished record, this work continues to remain the most influential autobiography ever written. Author Description: "I was born in Boston, New England, and owe my first instructions in literature to the free grammar-schools established there. I therefore give one hundred pounds sterling to my executors, to be by them ... paid over to the managers or directors of the free schools in my native town of Boston, to be by them ... put out to interest, and so continued at interest forever, which interest annually shall be laid out in silver medals, and given as honorary rewards annually by the directors of the said free schools belonging to the said town, in such manner as to the discretion of the selectmen of the said town shall seem meet.''
NCERT class 10 Helen Keller
Fictionalized but factual biography of Keller, for young (age 10) readers. #45 in the Grosset & Dunlap Signature Books series.Helen Keller would not be bound by conditions. Rendered deaf and blind at 19 months by scarlet fever, she learned to read (in several languages) and even speak, eventually graduating with honors from Radcliffe College in 1904, where as a student she wrote The Story of My Life. That she accomplished all of this in an age when few women attended college and the disabled were often relegated to the background, spoken of only in hushed tones, is remarkable. But Keller's many other achievements are impressive by any standard: she authored 13 books, wrote countless articles, and devoted her life to social reform. An active and effective suffragist, pacifist, and socialist (the latter association earned her an FBI file), she lectured on behalf of disabled people everywhere. She also helped start several foundations that continue to improve the lives of the deaf and blind around the world.As a young girl Keller was obstinate, prone to fits of violence, and seething with rage at her inability to express herself. But at the age of 7 this wild child was transformed when, at the urging of Alexander Graham Bell, Anne Sullivan became her teacher, an event she declares "the most important day I remember in all my life." (Sullivan herself had once been blind, but partially recovered her sight after a series of operations.) In a memorable passage, Keller writes of the day "Teacher" led her to a stream and repeatedly spelled out the letters w-a-t-e-r on one of her hands while pouring water over the other. This method proved a revelation: "That living world awakened my soul, gave it light, hope, joy, set it free! There were barriers still, it is true, but barriers that could in time be swept away." And, indeed, most of them were. In her lovingly crafted and deeply perceptive autobiography, Keller's joyous spirit is most vividly expressed in her connection to nature:Indeed, everything that could hum, or b
