  Honesty: The Light of Truth -...

  Honesty is often considered a fundamental virtue, a cornerstone upon which trust, respect, and meaningful relationships are built. At its core, honesty means being truthful with oneself and others. It is the practice of aligning our words, actions, and thoughts with the truth, regardless of how uncomfortable or inconvenient it may be. Without honesty, connections with others become shallow, and personal integrity is compromised. In this chapter, we explore the foundational aspects of honesty and its significance in both our personal lives and society. 
  To understand honesty fully, we must first examine what it entails. It is not merely about avoiding lies; it is about living in alignment with the truth, expressing ourselves openly, and being transparent in our actions. Honesty goes beyond just telling the truth when asked—it involves a deep commitment to truth in every aspect of our lives. This means that our words, our actions, and our thoughts should reflect what is genuinely real, without embellishment or deceit. 
  The importance of honesty cannot be overstated. When we are honest, we cultivate trust—both with others and within ourselves. Trust is the bedrock of any healthy relationship, whether personal or professional. Without honesty, trust erodes, leading to misunderstandings, broken relationships, and a sense of disconnection. Moreover, honesty fosters a sense of clarity and peace within ourselves. When we live truthfully, we are no longer burdened by the weight of deceit or the need to maintain false facades. We are free to be ourselves, unencumbered by the fear of being exposed or found out.

  Over the last few years, I have spent considerable time deepening my spiritual quotient. It all started in 2013 when I took up Vipassana meditation and started practicing seriously, and later developed an interest in reciting certain mantras. 
  ​​I have titled it "UnSexy Spirituality". The reason for this title is pretty straightforward, I am sharing insights into the core concepts of Sanatana Dharma (Indian Spirituality) without any hype. The intent is to share the insights I have gained from my journey thus far. 
  You will find many books on the shelf that mix mysticism with Indian spirituality, my attempt is to present Indian spiritual concepts as is without mysticism and hence the play of the word Unsexy. 
  The Audiobook is thoughtfully designed for people to “Listen”; and “Contemplate”. The process of repeat listening and then contemplating the concepts mentioned in the audiobook is the key to fully digesting these concepts. It allows seekers to find clarity as well as uplift themselves to higher awareness levels. 
  I have compiled this wisdom into 14 chapters that simplify the core concepts which have kept me as well as other Indians and many westerners confused. 
  #1 Neeyati, The Play Of Destiny 
  #2 What is Karma & Suffering  
  #3 Is There an After-Life 
  #4 Adding Positive Karma Points in Life 
  #5 Atheists, Believers, and Seekers 
  #6 Being Spiritual and The Path 
  #7 Burning Karma with Meditation 
  #8 Ego Barometer 
  #9 Is This A Dream World 
  #10 Why Religion 
  #11 Understanding Our Relationship With The Nature 
  #12 Trust, Truth, and Belief World 
  #13 How Women Can Reach Her Highest Spiritual Truth 
  #14 Saturn's Energies

  Producing the Acceptable Sex...

  Producing the Acceptable Sex Worker considers how sex work is produced in news media narratives, a site where much of the general public draws its understanding of the industry in the absence of lived interaction with it. Taking New Zealand as a case study, this book considers an emerging discourse of acceptability for some sex workers, primarily those who do low-volume indoor work. Their acceptability is established in comparison with other kinds of sex workers, resulting in a redistribution but not a reduction of stigma. The conditions attached to acceptability reflect persistent anxieties about sex work: workers who are acceptable must give the impression that the sexual labour of the job is enjoyable and virtually indistinguishable from their personal life, eliding the work involved. Unacceptable workers have existing marginalisations magnified by their association with the industry, with migrant sex workers produced as devious or exploited, and transgender women’s involvement with the industry used to deny them the right to public space. The conditions attached to acceptability reveal how neoliberal discourses of choice, desire, authenticity, and personal responsibility inform the formation of sex work in the public eye.

  Cities are living, breathing organisms that reflect humanity's most ambitious dreams and most pressing challenges. More than mere collections of buildings and infrastructure, they are complex ecosystems where social, economic, technological, and environmental dynamics interweave to create the spaces where human life unfolds. This comprehensive exploration—encompassing City Planning, the Evolution of Urban Planning, and Urban Design—offers a deep dive into the art and science of crafting urban environments that are not just functional, but transformative, sustainable, and responsive to the ever-changing needs of human communities. 
  The narrative of urban development is fundamentally a story of human adaptation, innovation, and collective imagination. From ancient civilizations' first planned settlements to today's smart, technologically integrated metropolises, urban planning represents a continuous dialogue between human potential and environmental constraints. By examining the historical trajectories, contemporary challenges, and future possibilities of urban design, this book illuminates the intricate processes that shape our collective living spaces. Readers will journey through the strategic thinking, technological innovations, social considerations, and visionary approaches that transform abstract concepts into tangible urban landscapes—revealing how thoughtful planning can address critical issues like sustainability, social equity, technological integration, and quality of life in an increasingly urbanized world.
