Book Description
Sunita and Mukesh are friends. He's cynical, from Calcutta, cocky and well-read. She's clever, curious and amused by him. It's the 1960s, Delhi University. Fashionable movies play at the art deco cinemas, Nehruvian poshness is stylish, The Beatles are the rage. They meet over a quotation game involving William Shakespeare and whisky. They both realise there's something special here. They have burning questions, as young people do, about things literary, philosophical, existential, romantic. The answers lie in an endless set of conversations with Sunita over Scotch, Mukesh imagines. Till she thinks America will be the answer, and leaves for a PhD in her search. He follows her. What happens, over the next forty years, is a journey - to carry on that conversation. Across continents, campuses, decades, marriages and life. To find what it is they really want to say. Chaos Theory, as loosely defined in particle physics, talks of two particles that circle around each other but never connect, which exactly descibes Mukesh and Sunita's situation. Their uncertainties translate into an immigrant's story of intellectual survival. In this exploration of missed connections between the abstract theories of modern physics with the equally abstract emotions of an aging pair of irreverent professors, comic and tragic mix together in a search for comfort which remains, at best, ephemeral and fragile.

The Judge Lied

Publisher: Strategic Book Publishing & Rights Agency
ISBN: 1631353454
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 750
Book Description
The Judge Lied: True Story “Someone must be trusted, let it be the judges.” –Lord Denning “Transparent, equality, and EXACT laws.” – President Thomas Jefferson In recent years, there has been a rising crescendo of complaint over the legitimacy – sometimes even the honesty – of particular judicial conduct. From political conservatives come charges that judges are overriding the will of the people as expressed in statute and referenda relating to abortions, gay rights, affirmative action, religion, and other subjects. From political liberals come charges of bias against women, sexual misconduct, harshness towards the interest of minorities, and forced imposition of deeply conservative political views. From both sides come charges of overriding the people’s views and protecting the professional politicians by striking down term limits. From all venues, even high-priced corporate lawyers, comes tyrannical and arbitrary conduct by trial judges. Misuse of position and even bribery are known to have sometimes existed. Beyond these matters, one dean of a law school’s thirty-four years as a law professor and litigator persuaded him that there is yet another problem, one that is widespread. It is that judges too often are unwilling to listen to facts or reasons. They start with predilections heavily favouring one side; predilections, which they, of course, deny, and then prove impervious to facts and resulting reasons contrary to their bias. When judges act on the basis of their prior predilection, ignore facts, and even make up supposed counter facts, they destroy a central tenet of the judicial system: the decision of cases based upon facts rather than prejudice. They also destroy faith in the judicial system.

Albert Okura The Chicken Man
Author: AuthorHouse
Publisher: AuthorHouse
ISBN: 1491868058
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 224
Book Description
At a growth rate of baby chick to full adult in less than two months, chickens are one of the fastest growing food source known to man. It seems that chickens were put on earth to supply the world?s population with eggs and meat. This book tells the story of Albert Okura?s belief that his destiny in life is to sell more chickens than anyone else in the world. Although sounding preposterous at first glance, it needs to be noted that Colonel Sanders did not sell his first franchise until he was 60 years old. Albert was born in 1951 and grew up with the fledgling fast food industry. His first full time job was working at Burger King as a hamburger cook. Recognizing that mental toughness as well as the ability to train, develop, and motivate others was critical for long term success, Albert gravitated to those who inspired him. Lessons learned from life experiences helped him realize his destiny. In 1984, at the age of 32, Albert opened a rotisserie chicken restaurant with help from his uncle. Albert has become Southern California?s foremost expert on mass producing, tender and moist rotisserie chickens. Juan Pollo is now poised to go into the bigtime. This is their story.

Rise and Rise of Imbecile Lawyers
Author: Yinka Bamgbelu
Publisher: Strategic Book Publishing & Rights Agency
ISBN: 1631353446
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 857
Book Description
“The one great principle of English law is to make business for itself.” – Charles Dickens The legal trade is a very broad church (too broad) that admits geniuses and intellectual peasants alike. Parts of the legal trade seem to be illogical and a baseless (unscientific) SCAM! The bottom lawyers have sunk below the lowest basement level – just below the deepest sewers – while the top lawyers seem to have descended to the bottom from whence the previous bottom lawyers vacated. There is change, but there is no relative change, since top lawyers seem oblivious to the notion of relativity. Although the brightest students in law school did a lot of math and physics, they delude themselves that it is their birthright to be top lawyers, when in fact, they are in a state of flux based entirely on the notion of relativity. They are simply the new bottom lawyers. Almighty God is a lawyer (judge), but He is a scientist first, because He had to create those that He will judge. “In my school, the brightest boys did math and physics, the less bright did physics and chemistry, and the least bright did biology. I wanted to do math and physics, but my father made me do chemistry because he thought there would be no jobs for mathematicians.” – Dr Stephen Hawking Dr Hawking implies that as lawyers (not all) are less likely to have done a lot of logical reasoning enhancing mathematics and physics at school, they are likelier to be imbeciles.
