ABY MAMBOLEO, TANY SOUSSANA

If you’re a woman juggling work, family, and the daily chaos with a smile (or at least a solid cup of coffee), this book was written for YOU.
You know the drill—wake up to the alarm that sounds more like a battle cry, race through morning routines like you're training for a decathlon, and try to be everything to everyone before noon. Whether you're doing it in heels, sneakers, or fuzzy slippers, we’re all in the same whirlwind of motherhood, marriage, and meetings. It’s messy, it’s exhausting, and yes—sometimes magical.
This isn’t another book telling you how to “balance it all perfectly.” Newsflash: perfect doesn’t exist. This is a book about how to keep showing up with purpose, reclaim your sanity, and rediscover the powerful woman underneath the to-do lists. You may have misplaced your Superwoman hat somewhere between school drop-off and deadline #3, but trust me—it’s still there. And we’re about to find it.
Inside these pages, you’ll:Learn how intention is the ultimate superpower—one you already have, you just need to remember to use it.Reconnect with the part of you that’s more than just a calendar manager and carpool queen.Get real strategies (not fluff) for managing the chaos while still pursuing your dreams.Laugh, nod in agreement, and maybe even cry a little—because this journey isn’t easy, but it’s ours.
This book is a love letter to women who do the hard, holy, and often invisible work of holding it all together. It’s not just what worked for me—it’s a celebration of us. Of the women who rise, stumble, keep going, and shine anyway.
So if you’ve ever wondered, Can I have it all without losing myself?—the answer is YES. And this book is your reminder.
Sis, I got you. Now let’s go find your sunny side UP.

Pragmatism - A New Name for Some...

William James

In Pragmatism, William James introduces and defines the philosophical movement that judges ideas and beliefs based on their practical consequences and real-world application. Drawing from thinkers like Charles Peirce, James argues that truth is not fixed or abstract but emerges from experience and utility. Through accessible lectures, he explores how pragmatism bridges the gap between science and religion, idealism and materialism, offering a flexible approach to knowledge and belief. Rooted in American intellectual tradition, the book champions open-mindedness, pluralism, and the evolving nature of truth. James presents pragmatism as both a method of inquiry and a way of life, challenging rigid dogmas while affirming the value of human experience in shaping meaning. This groundbreaking work remains foundational in modern philosophy, influencing thought across disciplines.

Vikrant Pande

'I did not come here just to receive the royal honour. My son is a panch hazari Mansabdar under the Badshah. He can be made to stand wherever the Badshah wishes him to. But I am not a servant of the Badshah! I am a Raja in my own right!'
The three of them returned, unable to convince Shivaji. They explained the situation to the Badshah when Ram Singh said, 'Alijah! It seems the hot Agra weather has not suited Raje. Please pardon him. He will present himself soon.'
'I can understand his feelings,' said Aurangzeb.
'Ram Singh, please sprinkle my special gulab jal on him to cool him down. Please request him to come back. We will then talk.'
