Chase your dreams - An autobiography by Sachin Tendulkar
मेरे पिता ने मुझे 11 साल की उम्र में ही आजाद पंछी की तरह छोड़ दिया और मुझसे बोले, ''अपने सपनों का पीछा करो, लेकिन यह शर्त है कि तुम उनको पाने के लिए शॉर्टकट नहीं ढूँढ़ोगे।'' अपने 24 साल के लंबे कॅरियर के दौरान शायद ही ऐसा कोई क्रिकेट रिकॉर्ड होगा, जो सचिन तेंदुलकर से अछूता रहा हो। टेस्ट और एक दिवसीय मैचों में सबसे ज्यादा रन बनाने के अलावा वे पहले और एकमात्र ऐसे बल्लेबाज बने, जिसने 100 अंतरराष्ट्रीय शतक लगाए और 200 टेस्ट मैचों में अपनी मौजूदगी दर्ज कराई। उनकी स्ट्रोक खेलने की विशिष्ट शैली ने उनको ऐतिहासिक हस्ती बना दिया, क्योंकि यह उनकी ही विलक्षण क्षमता थी कि वह दुनिया के किसी भी हिस्से में और मैदान के किसी भी कोने पर गेंद मार सकते थे। बंबई में एक मध्यवर्गीय परिवार में जनमे सचिन ने, जो कि एक शरारती बच्चे थे, बड़े हुए तो दिखाया-एक खिलाड़ी और कप्तान के रूप में कैसे लक्ष्यों को हासिल किया जाता है और कैसे सपनों को सच किया जाता है! हैरत की बात नहीं, खेल के प्रति उनका जुनून, देश के लिए उनके मन में सम्मान और मैदान एवं उससे बाहर उनका शानदार व्यवहार ही वे बातें रहीं, जिन्होंने उनको करोड़ों लोगों का चहेता और आनेवाली पीढ़ी के लिए रोल मॉडल बनाया था। सचिन तेंदुलकर के शिखर को छूने की रोचक और प्रेरणाप्रद यात्रा, उन्हीं की जुबानी। यह पुस्तक न केवल पठनीय है, वरन् असंख्य युवाओं और खेल-प्रेमियों के लिए प्रेरणा का खजाना है।

MANY EVERESTS
As the first IAS officer to climb the world's tallest peak, Ravindra Kumar in this book has presented Mount Everest as a symbol of life's problems beyond the limit of a physical barrier. Introducing the innovative technique of 'Advanced Positive Visualisation', the author explains how the various Everests of life can be conquered with this success key. Kumar has tested the impact of this technique personally and has achieved many feats-starting from his selection in the prestigious IIT entrance examination to his selection in the premier Civil Services Examination and becoming an IAS officer after working at sea for many years and, thereafter, climbing the highest peak of the world in his maiden attempt. It is through his life journey and after analysing its impact, the author has presented to the reader the innate power lying dormant in the human mind. Kumar's claim is based on the fact that our brain catches the image of anything before any other sensory perception like speech, hearing, smell, touch, etc. Although this is a daily phenomenon we don't notice it. The author has not only documented his observation from day-to-day life but has also explained it scientifically by connecting the dots of old as well as modern scientific researches, including Einstein's theory of relativity, findings by yogis, experiments on human brain by modern research centres such as Harvard Medical School, Leningrad Military Laboratory, etc. He has explained this technical subject in a simple lucid language to be understood by all. By demonstrating the miraculous effect of this technique in the lives of ordinary people through the example of his life, the author explains to the readers, and in the process motivates them on how, despite life's vicissitudes, one can achieve one's dreams.

APJ Abdul Kalam : Wings Of Fire
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.
