The Communist Party's attitude toward art in this period was, in general, epiphenomenal of its economic policy. A resolution of 1925 voiced the party's refusal to sanction anyone's literary faction. This reflected the New Economic Policy (NEP) of a limited free-market economy. The period of the First Five-Year Plan (1928-1932) saw a more or less voluntary return to a more committed artistic posture, and during the second Five-Year Plan (1932-1936), this commitment was crystallized in the formation of a Writers' Union. The first congress of this union in 1934, featuring speeches by Maxim Gorky and Bukharin, officially adopted socialist realism, as defined primarily by Andrei Zhdanov (1896-1948). Aptly dubbed by Terry Eagleton as "Stalin's cultural thug," it was Zhdanov whose proscriptive shadow thenceforward fell over Soviet cultural affairs. Although Nikolai Bukharin's speech at the congress had attempted a synthesis of Formalist and sociological attitudes, premised on his assertion that within "the microcosm of the word is embedded the macrocosm of history," Bukharin was eventually to fall from his position as the leading theoretician of the party: his trial and execution, stemming from his political and economic differences with Stalin, were also symptomatic of the fact that Formalism soon became a sin once more. Bukharin had called for socialist realism to portray not reality "as it is" but rather as it exists in socialist imagination.

There are three parts in this book.The first part covers philosophical learning. It captures the imaginary thoughts of a newborn baby. It touches upon the aspects of its readiness as a part of this birth. Will it find out the details of "Runa" (Roughly translated as Debt), what is required to find out the balance, what actions are required to achieve zero balance, what is the purpose of this life, etc. Finally, it requests the supreme to grant just two boons.The second part is all about professional learnings captured in the form of formulas. During the early phase of learning from educational institutions, it is all about structured learning. Be it the number of subjects, syllabus, guidance, regular assessment etc. The idea is to prepare the subject (person) to be ready to solve the future challenges. When one gets into any professional life, one would figure out that all those learning subjects and techniques are necessary but not sufficient. In this phase (career phase), learning is never structured. Everyone has to figure out their own style of learning and form the compilation. The second part of the book possesses my learnings compiled into formulae. The formulae also represent the abstraction of concrete concepts. That is also one of the key learnings. It touches various topics across notion of infinity, importance of preparation, office politics, Usability, work related stress, innovation etc. It is totaling to 52 in numbers, one per week lasting for one year (52 weeks).The third part is about the fun element. It provides the reader riddles to solve. It provides cryptic ways of describing a thing and makes the reader guess. Of course, it captures the answer at the end of the book. This is an attempt to engage the reader to let his/her imagination run wild with the way of describing a thing.

Mark Twain observed, "I'm in favour of progress; it's change I don't like." Coal dominates Indian energy because it's available domestically and cheap (especially without a carbon tax). If the global focus is on the energy transition, how does India ensure a just transition? Managing winners and losers will be the single largest challenge for India's energy policy. Coal is entrenched in a complex ecosystem. In some states, it's amongst the largest contributors to state budgets. The Indian Railways, India's largest civilian employer, is afloat because it overcharges coal to offset under-recovery from passengers. Coal India Limited, the public sector miner that produces 85% of domestic coal, is the world's largest coal miner. But despite enormous reserves, India imports about a quarter of consumption. On the flip side, coal faces inevitable pressure from renewable energy, which is the cheapest option for new builds. However, there is significant coal-based power capacity already in place, some of which is underutilized, or even stranded. Low per-capita energy consumption means India must still grow its energy supply. Before India can phase out coal, it must first achieve a plateau of coal. How this happens cost-effectively and with least resistance isn't just a technical or economic question, it depends on the political economy of coal and its alternatives. Some stakeholders want to kill coal. A wiser option may be to first clean it up, instead of wishing it away. Across 18 chapters, drawing from leading experts in the field, we examine all aspects of coal's future in India. We find no easy answers, but attempt to combine the big picture with details, bringing them together to offer a range of policy options.

In terms of Articles 53,73, 74,75, 154, 155, 156, 163 and 164, President should rule Indian Union with help of Governors in the states. Ministers are only helpers and advisors appointed and removed by President and Governors at pleasure. In terms of Article 1, India is union of states and hence unitary, not federal. President is the only elected authority in India. "Republic" means a country ruled by a President. Multiparty system, Regional party system, political alliances are illegal. Election manifestos which offer specified benefits to specified people are "Considerations" and hence illegal. Executive Power of the President extends to whole territory of India in terms of Article 53 and 73. Hence, state ministers have no right to alienate lands in the states. Mid-term elections are unconstitutional. Terms of Lok Sabha and state assemblies are five years in terms of Article 83 and 172. They can never be dissolved mid-term under the constitution, much less, on the advice of the Prime Minister or Chief Ministers who are after all political rivals to opposition members. Cancelling the memberships of hundreds of elected opposition members, mid-term, en masse, without their fault, is a sin against democracy and an atrocity against constitution.

The main software when using the computer is the operating system. The operating system defines all the experiences when using a computer; it manages the hardware and software resources of the computer system, provides a way for applications to deal with the hardware without having to know all the details of the hardware, and it is the software that makes all the programs work. It organizes and controls the hardware on computers.

Here we have a collection of a little over hundred verses, most of which were a part of the common man's knowledge not long ago. These are from the Mahabharata, the Pancatantra, the Hitopadesa, the Subhashita-s of Bhartrihari and such other texts. Some verses teach ethical behavior and some others realistically and bluntly tell about human behavior in different situations. Most of the present day societies are focusing more on imparting job-oriented skills to children, paying little attention to their emotional growth. The governments too are cutting back on the liberal arts which are essential for the emotional intelligence and maturity of our children. Such trends have negative manifestations which are sadly realized at a later stage in life. We realize that progress cannot be at the cost of human values and goals in life. These verses are like the 'box of truisms' and 'words to live by', in Louis Mac Neice's words. They may not be fully understood by the kids straightaway, but they reveal their full flavor as the kids grow and face the realities and problems of life. They are like the time release capsules which release themselves slowly. Dr. Aravinda Rao K.
