How Can I Talk If My Lips Don't Move? by Tito Rajarshi Mukhopadhyay Pdf

An astounding new work by the author of The Mind Tree that offers a rare insight into the autistic mind and how it thinks, sees, and reacts to the world. When he was three years old, Tito was diagnosed as severely autistic, but his remarkable mother, Soma, determined that he would overcome the “problem” by teaching him to read and write. The result was that between the ages of eight and eleven he wrote stories and poems of exquisite beauty, which Dr. Oliver Sacks called “amazing and shocking.” Their eloquence gave lie to all our assumptions about autism. Here Tito goes even further and writes of how the autistic mind works, how it views the outside world and the “normal” people he deals with daily, how he tells his stories to the mirror and hears stories back, how sounds become colors, how beauty fills his mind and heart. With this work, Tito—whom Portia Iversen, co-founder of Cure Autism Now, has described as “a window into autism such as the world has never seen”—gives the world a beacon of hope. For if he can do it, why can’t others? “Brave, bold, and deeply felt, this book shows that much we might have believed about autism can be wrong.”—Boston Globe

Feminism and World Religions by Arvind Sharma,Katherine K. Young Pdf

Addressing religion and feminism on a global scale, this unprecedented book contains a nuanced and fine-tuned treatment of seven of the world's religions from a feminist perspective by leading women scholars. The fact that these authors share a dual but undivided commitment both to themselves as women and to their traditions as adherents imparts to their voices a prophetic quality, and if Mahatma Gandhi is to be believed, even scriptural value.

As it Happened in 1942 by Anandamayee Singh Pdf

In the 1940s, amidst the crumbling British Government and India’s struggle for self-governance, two stubborn teenagers strike an unlikely friendship over a game of gilli danda. In 2011, David and Nandini—now in their eighties—recall past events, revisit memories and share them with their grandchildren. As it Happened in 1942 is a story of revolutions—in society and within people. It is about finding the courage to accept your faults and forgiving others. But mostly, it’s the tale of two friends who push each other to grow and face a world determined to change them. Anandamayee Singh is a second year English and Psychology student at University of California, Los Angeles. Prior to that, she lived in Switzerland for nine years, studying at the International School of Geneva. It was there that she developed her love for cheese, chocolate and writing. Her parents and teachers encouraged her, and at the age of nine, her mother sold her stories to a mobile company, which turned them into audio bedtime stories for children. At school, she won several writing competitions and regularly wrote for her school’s literary magazine: Expressions. She has also forayed into journalism by interning with Jiji Press and the Times of India. At the age of fifteen, she penned the first draft of As it Happened in 1942 which was later picked up by Om Books International for publication. She is currently considering adding film or theatre to her long list of subjects to study due to her fascination with different forms of storytelling. Her biggest fears include being asked where she’s from, and snakes. Talking Points - Foreword by dancer-turned-journalist-turned-author Radhika Jha -Focuses on the ordinary yet forgotten stories of people in pre-independent India -A heart-warming tale of friendship that crosses barriers of identity, religion, class and colour -Highlights the importance of human relationships, universal love, peace and brotherhood

The Last Two Crayons by Leah Freeman-Haskin Pdf

Sienna looks forward to drawing a picture for her school’s spring art show, until she ends up with the last two crayons ... By the time Sienna arrives at the art table in her classroom, all the crayons are gone except dark brown and light brown. Now how can she make a special picture for the art show? Andy teases that all she’ll be able to draw is mud and dog poop. Her teacher tries to cheer her up, telling her that lots of wonderful things are brown. So Sienna imagines some of her favorite things — her grandma’s rose garden, her new bicycle, rainbows — but none of them are brown! Her friends remind her that chocolate ice cream is brown, and so is the grizzly bear at the zoo. Sienna draws both, with the help of her friends, but neither picture seems special enough. In the end, inspired by an early memory, Sienna comes up with her own idea for a drawing that’s perfect for the art show. The Last Two Crayons looks at the beautiful world of brown, with a heartwarming and empowering ending that celebrates diversity, creativity and family.
