The Extreme Ends" is the fact that an unlikely author Madathara Mohandas Pradeep has, in an unconventional manner, penned down 40 years of his life as the theme of the book. Madathara Mohandas Pradeep is a self taught creative professional with excellent research skills. Hailing from a small village in Kerala called Chennamkary, he came to Delhi to make a life for himself. However, in his book he shows that Kali Yuga has caused him extreme suffering and had taken him to the brink of devastation. At one stage he was what society would label a 'raving lunatic'; and he had that reputation for a while in his personal and professional circles. It was a period when he had lost everything in life - even himself. After recovery from this severe illness, he attained Realization. His driving motto in life is now "Save The Girl Child, Save Woman, Save Mother Earth and Save Life"; aiming for Oneness, Unity and Love in order to save our beautiful planet; and for the betterment of all lives, present and future. The Author has used the Great Epic Mahabharata as a metaphor to illustrate his life and to show how individuals can change Karma and bring positivity.

Soft cover. Zustand: New. 1st Edition. Most of the subjects covered in this book are dynamic and change with passage of time, perception of nations, outlook of leaders and bonding between states. For seeking solutions to complex problems, understanding its root cause is the key. This has been my intention in selecting specific articles. I have devoted space to articles on Veterans and the Armed Forces mainly because veterans are an important link between the serving and the nation as they are no longer bound by the laws of silence. A nation which respects its veterans would always be proud. Veterans also have a responsibility to the nation. Only powerful nations are respected in the present era and power ensures security of political, cultural and economic institutions of the nation. Power flows from a combination of economic, diplomatic and military elements. National security and development always go hand in hand. The Armed Forces remain a major element of power, without whose backing, other elements of power are partially ineffective. Politics implies challenging the government in power and questioning its policies. However, indulging in questioning the Armed Forces or its acquisitions, seeking to stall or delay development of capabilities would harm national security. India faces challenges from its neighbours, who would always desire to stunt our growth. Meeting these challenges remain a major security challenge. My articles based on the above topics have been written in a simplistic manner to enable easy assimilation.

"Zero Displacement" is the story of Siddhant, a middle-class boy, a dreamer, an idealist - a youth whose thinking is vastly different from that of his peers - and his childhood friends Satya, Prem and his ladylove, Vaishali. Siddhant meets with an accident with life altering consequences, an accident whereby he remains with an incurable injury that leaves permanent scars. The accident and its aftermath moulds his perceptions and his personality, which are in no small measure, further affected by the treatment meted out to him by others. This leaves traces upon his psyche. He is helpless to surmount the constraints that the abuse has left him with when he falls in love with Vaishali, a forward thinking, beautiful and intelligent girl. As the story unfolds Siddhant realizes his life's dreams; but does he also rise in love? The Author shows a skillful interaction between peripheral characters and the protagonist, as they bolster the narrative by being its backbone. Told without inhibition, bringing out stark reality of studenthood, youth, folly and social iniquity the story makes for a rollercoaster read as the Reader in turn feels empathy, amusement and at times anger.

It starts with the writer's stay in Srinagar where her husband commanded the Air Force station during the Kargil war of 2000. It is life from the perspective of an Air Force wife. There are things women have laughed and cried about. There are real life incidents. Observations about life on an AF station and life in the remote areas of the state of Jammu and Kashmir, where very few civilians reach.
