Human rights abuses are rife in some regions of the world, but they tend to escape the spotlight. Eritrea is one of these countries; its citizens are kept in the dark because of the government's authoritarian rule. Education, healthcare, and the armed forces are all areas where Eritreans have reported receiving unjust treatment, and any who try to flee the nation do so at great personal risk. But this book is about more than simply Eritrea and its people's plight. It is about how strong the human will can be even when confronted with adversity. This is a story about the importance of never giving up on a better tomorrow. We learn more about the suffering and loss felt by the people of this country, as well as their resilience and fortitude, from the accounts of individuals who have lived through it. Everything about Eritrea is explored in this book, from the country's complicated history to its control of technology. This is a tale of perseverance and defiance in the face of adversity; of loss and injustice, but also of the light that may be found in the darkest of times. The plight of the people of Eritrea serves as a sobering reminder of our common humanity and of the urgency with which we must pursue justice and freedom.

Written in 1532 CE, the same period as Martin Luther, and just prior to colonial rule in India, A Portrait of Lord Shree Krishna,(for which the Sanskrit is Vidagdha Madhava) is a romantic drama, retelling the youth-hood of Lord Shree Krishna, the favourite divinity of the Indian sub-continent, who lived in Uttar Pradesh c. 1000 BCE, or earlier.The dominant theme of the drama, whilst unorthodox, gives a clear vision of the dramatic power-play between fabulous blue-blackish Shree Krishna, and the fabulous cowherd girls of His village. The give and take is shared, but predisposes in favour of the cowherd girls. Krishna is a great hero, defending His kingdom against formidable antagonists, but He Himself is governed by the love of Shrimati Radharani. Radharani's epithet Madana-mohanamohini, lauds Her as the 'Enchantress of the enchanter of Cupid.' The narrative comprises a timeless exposition of power-sharing among genders.For more information, visit author's website: www.arjundasadhikari.com

BETWEEN THE UNREAL AND THE FAKE IS REALITY. The splendour breaks down walls to shine,The hero's journey is about living your gift and healing your wounds.To live is to be born again after walking among wolves in disguise.Man becomes enslaved and forgets that happiness is in the simplest things.Silence is a diamond that only shines with effort.The religious pray to not go to hell and the spiritual seek peace because they have already gone through hell.Death disguised as a soldier,Wears down the young men who fall to defend the Eagles.We only give what we have inside and we only take what we lack from the inside.You can't lose or win when love is eternal.As long as you don't know the inner power you can't know who you are,An egg dies when it breaks from an outside force,An egg is born by breaking from an inner force,Magic is always inside you,you just have to wake up the magician. LISTEN WITH YOUR EYES AND SPEAK WITH YOUR HEART,The caged Serpent must be disciplined for a lifetime,The proud Lion must be tamed from the ego. WE ARE ALL fires that must be lit,To enjoy what is, one must experience what is not.BE AND NOT SEEM .THAT IS THE QUESTION.
