Synopsis

 In late 2019, the Coronavirus emerged and spread quickly around the world. With it went the invisible virus of fear. No one knew how many of those who caught it would die, but the fear of death was in the air. Most of the world was locked down. No public figure asked or tried to answer the questions, at one time so deeply felt: ‘Is death the end?’ ‘Is there an afterlife?’ Perhaps they assumed the answers ‘Yes’ and ‘No’ respectively, but the author argues those answers are not to be taken for granted. Unasked questions cause untold psychological trouble.
 
The author tackles these questions in a direct, open way of interest to believers and non-believers alike. In fact, he asks, ‘If you do not believe, do you wish there were an afterlife?’
 
He acknowledges that he feels great sympathy with and respect for those who do not believe in the life of the world to come and admits that he was once one such. In the book, he explains frankly what he now believes and why.
 
He argues that it is the most important question that any of us faces: Are we or are we not created by God to live forever, first in this world and then in His nearer presence in the life of the world to come?
 
It is not a comfortable question to face, but which answer is true?

    What does it take to make a dictator answer for his crimes? Hissène Habré, the former despot of Chad, terrorized, tortured, and killed on a horrific scale over eight years in power—while enjoying full American and Western support. After Habré’s overthrow, his victims and their supporters were determined to see him held responsible for his atrocities. Their quest for justice would be long, tense, and unnerving, but they would not back down. 
     
     
     
    To Catch a Dictator is an insider's account of the hunt for Habré and his momentous trial. The human rights lawyer Reed Brody recounts how he and an international team of investigators, legal experts, and victims worked across three continents to unearth evidence and witnesses, petition courts and skeptical governments, and rally public opinion. They faced many obstacles and constant threats. Habré fought back bitterly, drawing on secret bank accounts and extensive political connections to preserve his life of luxurious exile. Yet Brody and his allies ultimately triumphed: Habré became the first former head of state to be convicted of crimes against humanity in the courts of another country. This fast-paced, suspenseful book shows that there is nothing inevitable about the impunity that too often protects the powerful and that even the worst tyrants can be brought to justice.

    A raw, bold and unfiltered exploration of sex, love, and society. 
     
    It is time to get sex out of the closet. 
    Is it better to have unsatisfying sex than to masturbate? Is it okay to seek sexual satisfaction outside marriage? Do women really lose interest in sex after menopause? 
    Though sex is considered a 'dirty' word in Indian society, its role in our lives is undeniable. The Toilet Seat takes a deep dive into how sex is perceived and portrayed, the stigma around premarital and extramarital sex, and the perversions that suppressing natural instincts can cause. 
    With fearless honesty, it dissects myths, exposes hypocrisy, and challenges rigid ideas about love, fidelity, and pleasure. Urging readers to rethink deep-rooted norms, it encourages open conversations about sex and relationships. Packed with eye-opening insights, it also offers guidance on understanding a partner's sexual needs. 
    And what does the title of the book---The Toilet Seat---have to do with all this? Read on to find out why this phenomenal book became a runaway Tamil bestseller.

    Did you know that Loki is the father of the monstrous creatures that are prophesied to kill the gods of Asgard? 
    When Heimdall blows his horn to signal the beginning of Ragnarök, the gods of Asgard are left with no choice but to face the forces of chaos on the battlefield of Vigrid. This is when Loki and his monstrous sons, Jörmungandr the World Serpent and Fenrir the Giant Wolf, will exact their revenge, a mission they will succeed in, although it will cost their lives. On this day, everyone, including the mightiest of gods, will spill blood on the battlefield. The entire world will perish, leaving only an empty void for life to happen all over again. 
    The stories and myths of the Norse were passed down by the Vikings in oral tradition until they were recorded in manuscripts by anonymous authors in the mid-13th century. The myths that survived tell the story of how the world was first created by the gods using the dead body of a primeval giant, the existence of the different realms surrounding the universe, and various tales and lore about the gods’ adventures. 
    Here’s just a small fraction of what you’ll discover: 
    • How the body of the primeval giant, Ymir, was used to shape the earth 
    • A detailed description of all nine realms in the Norse world and the World Tree, Yggdrasil 
    • The famous legend of how Odin lost his eye in exchange for wisdom 
    • How Loki tricked the dwarves into creating Mjölnir and other treasures for the gods 
    • Three of Loki’s monstrous sons and their roles in killing the gods at Ragnarök 
    • The unexpected death of Baldur and the gods’ failed attempt at resurrecting him 
    • Loki’s gruesome punishment that led to his revenge during Ragnarök 
    • The vicious battle between Thor and the World Serpent
