I Am Like This Only!

Anshumala Singh

Welcome to I Am Like This Only! Before you start flipping through the pages, let me offer a quick word of advice: prepare yourself for a good laugh! This book isn't your typical political drama or an intellectual deep dive into governance. Far from it! It’s a light-hearted romp through the world of politics, filled with quirks, comedy, and the kind of misadventures that can only come from one very unique individual. 
Our main character, Dewan, is unlike anyone you’ve ever encountered. He has his own way of doing things, his own rules (which he often ignores), and an approach to life that is best described as… unconventional. Some might call him eccentric, others might call him unpredictable, but Dewan himself would probably just say, “I am like this only!” 
In this story, nothing is ever quite what you’d expect, and that’s exactly the point. We often take life too seriously, but through Dewan’s escapades, you’ll see that a little humour, a bit of wit, and a touch of madness can make all the difference. 
I’m not going to spoil what’s ahead, but I promise it will keep you smiling, chuckling, and possibly shaking your head in disbelief. This book is a celebration of embracing life’s quirks and laughing at our own imperfections. So, buckle up and get ready for a whirlwind of fun and surprises. 
Enjoy the ride, and remember: life is much more enjoyable when you don’t take it too seriously. 
Warm regards, 
Anshumala Singh

The Tao of Taylor Swift - 13...

Lindsey Smith

Discover the Taoist philosophy within Taylor Swift’s ever-evolving eras—messages and actions of resilience, self-discovery, and the pursuit of authenticity—and let them guide you back to your own natural beat."Can you remain unmoving till the right action arises by itself?"“Would it be enough if I could never give you peace?”Is it a quote from The Tao or a Taylor Swift lyric? At first glance, the Tao Te Ching and Taylor Swift might seem like an unlikely pairing—one is a poetic text of ancient Chinese philosophy, the other a modern pop icon. But look closer, and you’ll find an invisible string of wisdom, transformation, and words that hold the power to inspire generations. The Tao is the general life force that flows through everything in the Universe—or, in Taylor terms, “forever going with the flow.” The Tao cannot be described with words alone; it must be experienced and lived. From the fearless rise of a teenage songwriter to the soft power of reclaiming her music, Taylor’s journey embodies many core Taoist principles: strength through softness, presence over perfection, and becoming without forcing. The Tao of Taylor Swift explores 13 Taoist principles through the lens of Taylor’s lyrics, life, and legacy, inviting you, Dear Listener, to harness both the spirit of Tao and the essence of Taylor and leverage them to live a happy, free, and balanced life, mostly at the same time. Whether you're a dedicated fan or a seeker of timeless wisdom, The Tao of Taylor Swift invites you to connect with Tao informed by the life and playlist of one of the most influential artists of our time.
