Uncover the surprising origins behind customs like cake and candles, which weren't always part of the festivities.

The book progresses by tracing the evolution of these celebrations and revealing how they reflect societal values, historical influences, and human connections.

 
The book delves into specific birthday customs from around the world, from smashing piñatas in Latin America to giving lucky red envelopes in Chinese traditions. These practices reinforce social connections and celebrate individual achievements.

 
Furthermore, Birthday Rituals investigates the commercialization of birthdays, examining its impact on the authenticity and meaning of these modern celebrations.

    Ruskin Bond is eighty-nine years old: long past sixty, the age at which one becomes a senior citizen; also the age around which it is said one should think of retiring from active life. As the years go by, his contentment with living the life he has chosen--keeping to himself, with his family and his books, in Landour--has only grown stronger. He takes great joy in the world outside his window: the changing shades of nature, interesting people, good food, nice walks. Inside his room there are thoughts and memories, and the journal and letters he writes every day. 
    All of it makes for a wonderful life--and that is what this book is about. In his trademark warm, witty, whimsical style and his marvellously simple prose, Ruskin tells us how to enjoy the advancing years some of us are blessed with, and how to make the most of the amazing gift called life.

    The term ‘Disruptive Innovation’ was given in the year 1995 by Clayton M. Christensen and is regarded as one of the most influential and important innovations of the 21st century. Disruptive Innovation refers to the innovation which helps in creating new market and value network in place of the existing market and value network which leads to the disruption of the market-leading firms, alliances, and products that had already been established earlier. Each and every innovation cannot be regarded as a disruptive innovation even if they are bringing about change in the existing system. 
    In accordance with the ‘Theory of Disruptive Innovation’ disruptive innovation has been classified into two types- “low-end disruption” and “new-market disruption.” The low-end disruption is a type of disruption which occurs when the changes within the product take place at a higher rate than the customers are able to adapt to the changes made within the product. The new-market disruption occurs when a new product emerges in the market that has not been served earlier by any of the incumbents of the industry and which fits itself within the new or emerging market segment. 
    The process of disruptive innovation is considered important for business leaders because of the benefits that it provides to the customers of the market. A disruptive innovator provides the products at a favorable price to its customers as well as years at creating a new and improvised value of his/her product by making additional changes in the product. The process of disruptive innovation has been proven beneficial for executives also. 
    The first disruptive innovation was encountered by the human beings in around 10,000 BC in the Middle East, and since then it has continued to take place.

    For every woman, from the young to those in midlife and beyond, who has ever been told, "You can't" and thought, "Oh, I definitely will!"—this book is for you. 
     
     
     
    Women are expected to be many things. They should be young enough, but not too young; old enough, but not too old; creative, but not crazy; passionate, but not angry. They should be fertile and feminine and self-reliant, not barren or butch or solitary. Women, in other words, are caught between social expectations and a much more complicated reality. 
     
     
     
    Women who don't fit in, whether during life transitions or because of changes in their body, mind, or gender identity, are carving out new ways of being in and remaking the world. But this is nothing new: they have been doing so for thousands of years, often at the margins of the same religious traditions and cultures that created these limited ways of being for women in the first place. 
     
     
     
    In The Defiant Middle, Kaya Oakes draws on the wisdom of women mystics and explores how transitional eras or living in marginalized female identities can be both spiritually challenging and wonderfully freeing, ultimately resulting in a reinvented way of seeing the world and changing it.

    "Reflections on Gandhi" is an essay by George Orwell, first published in 1949, which responds to Mahatma Gandhi's autobiography The Story of My Experiments with Truth. The essay, which appeared in the American magazine Partisan Review, discusses the autobiography and offers both praise and criticism to Gandhi, focusing in particular on the effectiveness of Gandhian nonviolence and the tension between Gandhi's spiritual worldview and his political activities.
