KARN: THE LUMINOUS WARRIOR (Part-1): Mahabharat (In Poetry) - Through Story of Karn by Akshay Raghav (1 Review)    Price verified 7 hours ago

Karn: The Luminous Warrior is a work based on "Rashmirathi", which is a highly celebrated Hindi poem written by Ramdhari Singh Dinkar, one of the most prominent poets of modern Hindi literature. He was also popularly referred to as 'Rashtra Kavi' i.e., National Poet. The poem Rashmirathi was first published in 1952 and is considered one of the finest examples of Hindi literature. The poem is a dramatic monologue delivered by Karn as well as a few other central characters of the Indian Itihasa epic Mahabharat. As I grew up, Rashmi Rathi became one of the greatest sources of inspiration for me over time. It is interesting to see how the poem 'Rashmirathi' goes beyond being just a piece of poetry and contains a deep philosophical aspect. This poem serves as a reminder of the valuable teachings of the Indic knowledge systems that are still relevant in today's world. Therefore, I have made my best effort to translate and render the meaning of the Hindi poem into its truest sense in English, with some changes to keep the proper flow of poetry. I wish that this timeless message and teachings of Rashmirathi and Mahabharat can reach a broader readership in India as well as beyond.

Siouxie Peter-son faced their leader and asked, "Aren't we here to find a hidden relic?" A quick chuckle escaped Tex's lips before he said, "Right you are. Honey knows were all of the spiritual Hot Spots are in the past." His wife pursed her lips as she recalled a recent revelation and then Honey spoke boldly, "The relic is two bowls.

Second is the Blackfriars monastery. I believe that it was a secret medieval mint. The third place is Canterbury Cathedral." The nanny bounced Tex 2 on her knees as she timidly asked, "Where will the treasure be uncovered?"

Forever to Ruin (Roommate for Roommate Book 2) by Maia Aaron (11 Reviews)    Price verified 14 hours ago

Elle Hart had three rules: 1. You only get one night, 2. No sleepovers, and 3. No staying in touch afterwards. She had followed those rules diligently -- so diligently, in fact, that she had managed to keep away from anything remotely resembling a relationship. And she planned to keep it that way. James Dolan had decided to put love and relationships on the back burner during his college years, and that meant avoiding any possibility of a 'What are we?' conversation. In order to do that, he made himself unavailable for anything more than a late night roll in the hay, and he was more than content with that arrangement. Sort of. But after a fiery night together, friendship started to bloom, and the lines gradually began to blur, until Elle ended up doing the one thing she promised herself she would never do: she fell in love. Scratch that -- the two things she promised she would never do. She fell in love, and she broke James's heart. Now, eight years later, she's back in town, her best friend is happily married to his best friend, and there's nothing they can do to keep their lives from intertwining again. So, James proposes a deal: friends. And Elle, wanting nothing more than for them to put the past behind them, happily agrees. Because surely, after a messy breakup and eight years of barely any contact, there's no way that spark -- that wild, electric, beautiful spark that blew up their lives once upon a time -- could still exist between them. Right? (This book contains scenes and material that is unsuitable for people under the age of 18.)

He was a real-life hero, and I was... what was I? Filth, that was what I was. The daughter of a gangster, the niece of the reigning king of Chicago's underground.

One Life Well and Truly Promised by Richard D. Parker Price verified 6 hours ago

It began six thousand years ago, before the birth of the Akkadian Empire, with a pair of young lovers. Destinies entwined around a first, pure love, a tragic ending, and a promise. "I want you to promise me a life," she whispered so softly he barely heard her. She slowly sat up and searched the gloom of the hut warily. "Akhila!" Akintunde hissed quietly, glancing about fearfully. It was strictly taboo to speak of future lives and a well-known harbinger of ill luck. If an attentive god should hear, whether good or evil, they might strike you dead so that you could quickly begin the new life you so coveted. Akhila flinched but quickly regained her resolve. "I'm afraid Tunde," she admitted and then leaned closer and lowered her voice. "The gods could all be gone... or dead. One life... just one full life... promise." Akintunde paused, straining his senses, wildly searching for the presence of a god. Of course, he failed in the endeavor, but his eyes fearfully scanned the interior of the hut nevertheless. "I promise," he mouthed, just above a whisper and a wave of dread swept through him. Though there was no outward sign of change, he knew his words were the beginning. He could feel it. The destiny of his soul had been forever changed. Spanning the breadth of recorded history, this timeless historical saga follows two unfortunate lovers across the globe in their never-ending quest to fulfill a promise of love and life.
