Usually books on partition are sob stories, but not this one. ‘Rising from the Ashes of Bengal’s Partition’ is an untold story of the journey of a child born around the time of partition, who battled many hurdles and aspired to lead a new life - like a Phoenix. This is a story of his - and his generation’s - unflinching determination to move ahead. This is the story of the real people who did not curse their fate and sit idle shedding tears. It covers a child’s - and his generations - torturous journey from refugee camps and colonies to the world above the sky. The story covers a span of seven decades of time and space - people and events, politics and economics, corporates and their leaders and above all the kaleidoscopic panorama across the journey through Bengal and India. The book opens up several untraveled terrains - personal experiences, a person’s struggle, sufferings, tears, joys and smiles. It documents people’s perception about critical contemporary events, which conventional history does not cover. The author writes from the ringside, for example on how it was to work for the most reputed corporate of the country and, what happened in the business and economy when the ‘Tiger’ was ‘Uncaged.’ Sure, readers would like to run through the author’s experiences. The author has poured his heart and soul out into writing this story.

When Captain Lana Fiveworlds seizes on a lucrative contract to fly a rough-and-ready bunch of grave robbers between the worlds of long-extinct civilisations, she’s expecting a nice easy ride for her misfit crew on board the starship Gravity Rose. After all, those unlucky perished alien species died of climate change, atomic wars, comet strikes, plagues, and mass solar flare ejections thousands, if not millions of years ago. So, what can go wrong? Plunder a few failed planets for priceless abandoned antiques and lost technologies and make out like an interstellar bandit! Sadly, the karma of the universe has other ideas - and easy, it surely ain’t. When their troubles slowly mount, Lana, Calder, Zeno, and the other crew members battle for far more than their lives. The ultimate cost could be more than the captain - or her dear friends and family - can bear. --------------- ABOUT THE BOOK 'Voyage of the Void-Lost' is the 6th book in Sliding Void series.

You follow hundreds of influencers, but do you follow the influencer within? You believe in the instincts of others, but do you believe in the intuition within? You look for expert advice outside, but have you ever realized that you are simply paralyzing your decision-making capacity by seeking bits of advice from others. You and I don't realize that there is an insane power simmering within. And that is where the mantra 'You! Are the Guiding light' comes in. To visualize this power, you and I need a medium of expression. That is why 40 writers have worked as a team to express the 'You' in them and silence the 'we' for a while. We are all a part of the human community. The only qualification required to sustain in the community is to focus on 'us' and not 'I.' Due to this, we don't know who we are as individuals and what each one's purpose is. You see, the guiding light is 'You.' Because when you walk on a particular path, you use your legs; when you see the world around you, you use your eyes; when you memorize something, you use your logic. When cooking a dish, you use your taste buds to judge the food. Then why do you have to borrow advice, confidence, and selfesteem from others? You can be your go-to person, and that is what you and I can call complete independence. So now that you have read the preface, don't stop right here; keep flipping to find unique ideas about 'You.
