“क्या आप जानते हैं—
• कि जिस धरती पर हम शांतिपूर्वक और स्थिरता से रहते हैं, वह खुद जरा भी शांत और
स्थिर नहीं रहती और 1,00,000 किलोमीटर प्रति घंटे की रफ्तार से सूर्य का चक्कर लगाती
रहती है?
• कि मानव-निर्मित सबसे तेज गति के यान से भी बहुत तेज गति से यह पृथ्वी रूपी यान
365 दिनों में सूर्य का एक चक्कर लगाता है और हमें इसका ज़रा भी अहसास नहीं होता?
• कि इसी के साथ यह धरती 1,669.8 किलोमीटर प्रति घंटे की रफ्तार से अपनी धुरी पर
भी घूमती रहती है और उसी से दिन और रात बनते हैं?
• कि सूर्य भी एक तारा है और हमारी आकाशगंगा में उस जैसे 200 अरब से ज़्यादा तारे और
10 खरब से ज़्यादा ग्रह हैं?
• कि हमारा सौरमंडल हमारी जिस आकाशगंगा का सदस्य है, वह खुद भी आकाशगंगाओं के
एक लोकल ग्रुप की सदस्य है और वह लोकल ग्रुप भी अपने से बड़े किसी समूह का सदस्य
है, और यह सिलसिला इसी तरह जारी है?
ऐसी ही अद्भुत जानकारी देती है यह पुस्तक।”

Adhura Sapna/अधुरा सपना
“कोमल के प्यार की कली अपने प्रेमेरी के सुखद स्पर्श से सहसा फूल बनकर खिल उठी। कोमल ने देखा कि उसका चहेता अतीत को काली-अंधियारी घड़ियों को सच्चे दिल से भुलाकर, उसे वरना चाहता है। बस, उसके अंतर के अमिट अंधकार में खुशियों के सैकड़ों सूरज एक साथ चमक उठे। वह जीने की लालसा से भर गई और प्रिय के लिए अपने हृदय में प्रणय की सेज सजाने लगी!
एक ऐसी सुकुमारी की रोमांटिक कहानी, जो ठगी गई—कभी पुरुष के हाथों, कभी भाग्य के हाथों।
लेखक धर्मवीर कपूर का एक बहुचर्चित उपन्यास।”
Albert Einstein/ऐल्बर्ट आइंस्टीन
आइंस्टाइन को थ्योरिटिकल फ़िज़िक्स का महान वैज्ञानिक, आधुनिक भौतिक विज्ञान का पितृपुरुष, एक विलक्षण गणितज्ञ, प्रतिभा और मेधा का पर्यायटा्टय तथा मिस्टर रिलेटिविटी कहकर सम्मानित किया जाता है। बाद में तो लोग उन्हें अंतरिक्ष का बाशिंदा और जीवश्म तक कहने लगे।
वे परम ज्ञानी और प्रखर वक्ता भी थे। जब भी वे बोले, तो गणित, विज्ञान, ब्रह्मांड, दर्शन, गॉड, राजनीति सभी पर बोले। उन्होंने विज्ञान के जितने भी सिद्धांत दिए, सभी को दूसरों से प्रमाणित करवा कर लोहा मनवाया। यहाँ तक कि E = mc2 की विनाशक शक्ति का भी सत्यापन कराया।
इसी सूत्र के कारण परमाणु बम बना, लेकिन विरोधाभास देखिए कि विश्व शांति के लिए ज़ोर-शोर से लगे रहे। बचपन का यह बुद्ध बालक नोबल पुरस्कार से नवाज़ा गया। वह गैलीलियो और न्यूटन जैसे वैज्ञानिकों के बराबर माने गए और सादगी में गांधी से दो कदम आगे।
Anubhav/अनुभव

Dastavez/दस्तावेज़
‘ज़िंदगी के दुःख-सुख, अपने और मेरे,
दो नदियों की तरह मिल जाने दो! और फिर जैसे
पानी में लकीर नहीं पड़ती, तुम्हारे-मेरे अस्तित्व
में भी कोई लकीर न खींची जा सके।’

Be Better Than Your BS: How Radical Acceptance Empowers Authenticity and Creates a Workplace Culture of Inclusion
A book on DEI in the workplace that speaks not only to executives but to employees at all levels of a company, by award-winning diversity consultant Risha Grant.
DEI consultant and corporate speaker, Risha Grant, shares her practice of learning how to welcome and embrace people’s full humanity, without BS, full stop. What’s BS? It’s bullshit for sure, but more specifically it’s the powerful and often invisible belief systems we’ve been steeped in since birth—the judgment and bias we carry with us that impact our own lives and the many others we encounter every day. Risha teaches us about the inner work and the outer work we need to do to dismantle our “biasphere,” and change how we see ourselves and how we interact with others. The more people are willing to acknowledge and address the biases inherent in their belief systems, the more those biases will dissipate and the better our work environments will become.
Readers will learn how to:
• Recognize when your BS manifests as “isms” and phobias that follow you to work
• Cure scarcity mentality, a damaging byproduct of fear
• Validate other people’s experiences
• Become a real ally
• Engage in micro efforts that can effect change on a macro level
• Create an environment that fosters a sense of belonging for everybody; that is, “get in where you fit in”
• Abolish groupthink and create space for diverse ideas
• Design explicit feedback channels
• Generate truly inclusive policies that people can trust
• Spot and stop bullying (it doesn’t always look the way you think it does)
• Understand that equality isn’t equity; the difference leads to everyone getting what they need
