Every life has its defining moment, an experience that changes everything. For three Irish military veterans - John, Ger and Kevin - that moment continues to echo through their lives. An explosion. A vow. A chance decision. Now each must live with the fallout from his actions. There is no going back and no rewriting the past. But there is another decision to make, and there is a prayer to pray. A man can set a different course and continue his life with a fresh purpose. Anyone who has served will recognize these stories of heartache and happiness, troubles and blessings. In About Face, three extraordinary veterans share their experiences and offer us something more: an invitation to take the next step, encouragement to look for the next defining moment.Show book
Written with wit, humour and candour, Regrets, None is a rare memoir that is unafraid to bare it all. It follows veteran theatre personality Dolly Thakore's life and career -- growing up in Delhi and an assortment of Air Force stations, getting her start in theatre in college, her time in London, involvement with social issues, casting for Gandhi and filming it across India, working in radio, television and advertising while returning always to her first love, theatre. Dolly Thakore brings alive another era -- the glitz, the glamour, the struggles. She speaks candidly about love, sex, infidelity, motherhood, commitment, the ecstasy and the heartbreaks. She emerges as a true-blooded embodiment of what it means to be a strong, empowered, vulnerable, courageous (and sometimes outrageous) woman.Show book
This is small part of introduction of the book: Greetings, dear reader, and welcome to a journey through the remarkable life and enduring legacy of one of the greatest minds in human history Albert Einstein.

From humble beginnings in Ulm, Germany, to his later years as a celebrated figure on the world stage, Albert Einstein's life story is one of curiosity, perseverance, and ground-breaking discovery. Born on March 14, 1879, Einstein's early years hinted at the extraordinary path he was destined to tread. His insatiable thirst for knowledge and his uncanny ability to unravel the mysteries of the universe set him on a course that would forever change the landscape of modern physics. This book is more than a mere collection of dates and events; it is a chronicle of a man's quest to understand the fundamental workings of our universe. As we journey through the chapters that follow, we will witness the emergence of his revolutionary ideas the Special Theory of Relativity, the General Theory of Relativity, and the famous equation E=mc². We will stand alongside him during pivotal moments such as the solar eclipse expedition that confirmed his theories and the Nobel Prize recognition that solidified his place in history.Show book
