This planet of ours, the earth is a home to countless species of birds, animals, insects, and, most importantly, to human. Human came last. Of all the living beings, remarkably, human is the finest creation of Nature. It is because he is gifted with intelligence, though physically he is no match against animals. Yet he is a master and animals, however strong and ferocious they may be, say lions, elephants, rhinos, etc, are his slaves treated as he likes, be it fair or unfair. And that's simply because animals lack intelligence. It means not physical power, but mental makes one strong in a real sense. To speak rationally, physical power is a brute force while mental is a divine one, for it uses distant modes of defeating one's rival rather than a direct grappling with them, which typifies animal's instinct. So human is, all things considered, the best and supreme creation-a universally acknowledged fact. Eventually every human has to pay his debt back to Nature by handing his moral remains over to Her, none can escape this obligation, but when good deeds, if any, serve as contribution, they count towards some reward, as spiritually conceived as the Final Judgement.

It's a categorised study of our society, which also predicts how it will possibly look like in the far-ahead time in future.The irony in a zany life is a beautifully penned lyrical-story, about an adventure of a young man named Deb, who endeavours to reach the moon. And how Deb's life teaches him lessons on different levels of the journey justly resembles the irony an eccentric-person has in its life.

Dr Bhatti's book is a pioneering work based on real insight into the mystical phenomenon of the Sikh Gurus, especially the unique and distinctive aspects of Revelation received by them-verbal direct revelation as against non-verbal or revelation through an agent. The author's development of the concept of "Creative Mysticism" in Sikhi context is a very comprehensive thesis as compared to elementary treatment elsewhere in the literature on Mysticism especially by the Sikh scholars. I got almost overawed when I tried to do an analytical study of his book. Every repeat reading of the book opened up every time a new dimension of the mystical phenomenon. -Pritam Singh, President, Institute of Sikh Studies [IOSS], ChandigarhThis book is a fine piece of research on the study of human experience revealed through poetry and architecture, a rare combination. No doubt the Department of Guru Nanak Sikh Studies, Panjab University, Chandigarh, is very proud of this product, but those for whom it is produced would surely feel indebted to Dr Bhatti for exploring the depth of aesthetics in art and culture. I feel extremely proud in presenting this volume to the community of academicians, awakened souls, and readers in general. At the same time, I pray for many more such valuable gifts from Dr Bhatti's pen. I wish this book to be part of every library in home or institution. It will add to the existing set of knowledge. -Dr Darshan Singh, Chairman, Department of Guru Nanak Sikh Studies, Panjab University, Chandigarh

Despite great strides in the space of modern medicine and public health, we aren't necessarily enjoying the best of health, well-being and quality of life.100 years ago, the leading cause of deaths were infectious (or communicable) diseases such as Pneumonia, Flu and Tuberculosis. Today they are replaced by non-communicable diseases like Diabetes, Cardio-vascular disease and Cancers. Communicable diseases continue to affect our lives in the form of pandemics such as the COVID 19. At the roots of these challenges, lifestyles emerge as important factor that needs attention.Lifestyle medicine is an evolving science and much has been learnt over the years in terms of nutrition, physical activity and other interventions to promote good health. Traditional disciplines such as Yoga and Meditation are increasingly adopted as part of lifestyle change. Ayurveda, the native Indian science of healing offers rich and customized lifestyle recommendations for prevention of disease and promotion of good health. While more and more people are embracing healthy lifestyles, the adoption is piece meal and in isolation, and hence the benefits are not optimal. Unless they are effectively integrated, the various facets of holistic health and well-being i.e. physical, mental, emotional, social and spiritual dimensions continue to remain unrealized.'Integrative Health and Well-being Lifestyle' addresses this need, and is informed by the science and practice of four disciplines: Lifestyle medicine, Ayurveda, Yoga and Meditation. The handbook synthesizes and compiles the latest evidence from these disciplines for enriching our lifestyles and quality of life. The book also provides a template, practical tools and inspiring guidance for embracing Integrative Lifestyle into one's routine in a step by step manner.

The book narrates the memories of the best experiences of my life and is a useful insight into the culture of Punjab. It illustrates life in Punjab before India's independence. It was simple living and more social. Living was natural as people used to sleep on rooftops, lived in mud houses, and harvested rainwater. Marriage had another institution of muklawa. The homegrown industry was thriving, such as cotton thread making with charkha and then weaving cotton bed mats or floor mats, desi ghee making, wheat flour grinding, vermicelli production, jaggery production, phulkari embroidery, etc. Entertainment was of native origin. The book emphasizes on: - Life is what we still grow- Our values are the very essence of living- Life is to cherish and what we have to enjoy- We owe to society, and now it is the time to repay

"Remember! We all have that uncomfortableness in us, urging us to walk away; away in search of another life; away in search of things mightier than us, only to make us realize that these mightier things dwell in ourselves, not in society. They lie in deepening of the valleys, shallows of the brooks, narrow stretches of the trees, voids of the wilderness. They lie deep inside you; on the plains of the knowledge, in the vastness of the love and fountains of the youth." This is the story of finding freedom, of breaking shackles, and of how life experiences are far beyond enriching and educating. This is about a fourteen-year-old boy, inspired by Tolstoy and Twain, staggering in search of another life.

Walking with Roli, join him on his journey between life and death, happiness and sorrow, societal and secluded life.

In the big city of dreams live creatures most people no longer dream of. One where Medusa creeps through the quarters of a brothel, a cartel of birds burgeons a drug racket; a struggling actor cracks the chromosome to superstardom, and mermen kidnap fishermen by the coastline. Between the cramped by-lanes, behind the glittering skyline, beneath the dirt of the Arabian Sea, ordinary moments take an extraordinary turn as people rub shoulders with magical beings lurking in the shadows.

CHANDIGARH: Planning - Architecture - Landscape - Urban Design - Art - Services is the richest exposition, with an enlightened evaluation, of actual Chandigarh which grew out of Le Corbusier's planning theories and their realisation. It comprehensively deals with Planning, Architecture, Urban Design, Landscape, Art, and Services, in the context of Le Corbusier's written word and his realised works, vis-à-vis the dynamics of urban phenomena by virtue of which the citizens have acquired a new lifestyle. This book is based on the author's first doctorate (earned in 1991) that had won the 5th JIIA [Journal of the Indian Institute of Architects] National Award for Excellence in Architecture [Research Category] in 1993. Though enormous literature, mostly journalism spiced with glossy pictures, exists worldwide on the City, Dr SS Bhatti shows for the first time how the creation of Chandigarh--a state capital that outrivals national capitals of the modern world, and is the Mother City to some of them--is, in fact, An Irony of History! The uniqueness of this publication springs from the author's amazing professional versatility, with insightful expertise in the History of Modern Architecture along with the History of Indian Architecture, which has enabled him to put Chandigarh in the right global perspective. Having lived in Chandigarh since 1961 and seen it grow--from a daring experiment (drawing-board graphic representation) to an unforgettable experience (palpable reality)--the author brings to his doctoral thesis a rare authenticity. Discountenancing the hypothesis-based method which is used worldwide in the study of Human Settlements, the author has developed a holistic system of scholastic enquiry that he calls "PAR-SOM". With his characteristic tenacity he assures that his method could be used to a great advantage beyond opinionated perceptions and sentimental preferences for the comprehensive investigation and critical evaluation of city that he regards to be "a social organism and a work of art". Plan, Action and Reality, in tandem with the Subjective, Objective and Metaphysical dimensions of Modern Urbanism, constitute his novel procedure of holistic research. As a rich resource for future research, this book is a definitive work which should be compulsory reading for all those concerned with planning for vital communities in the 21st century.
