Two Wheels

Do you have read the greatest epic ever told?

By the greatest epic, I mean 'The Mahabharata', yeah, did you ever get a chance to read it?

Yes?

No?

Whatever it might be, I will start with an explanation.

While the war was being played, Sri Krishna played his role as a charioteer, a guide to Arjuna, to win through his enemies that were Kauravas and their relatives.

Mahabharata

The pair was an ecstatic and the best combination to fight the battles and the war.
Being Sri Krishna as a guide, and Arjuna a keen learner, follower, warrior, they could win any battle or the war because both of them worked in a harmony, both of them worked in a partnership, both of them fought with diligence to achieve the best result they could ever get.

So, here I come to the topic called 'Two Wheels'.

Life is all about 'Two Wheels'.

Like a pair of husband and wife. Both of them are the wheels of their family and they need to work together, move together and in a parallel manner.
If one of them is not working, the outcome would be nothing but conflicts and chaos.

Whenever we are working with someone on project or a business both wheels need to speed up at the same time, both wheels need to be on the same page/plane with the equal force otherwise, your car of the life/business is going to meet an accident, and depending on the force difference it could get worse.

All I would say is to balance your life with your life partner, balance your work with your business partner, balance your health with your body and mind because each and everything needs to work in a harmony.

Loneliness

Loneliness has followed me my whole life, everywhere. In bars, in cars, sidewalks, stores, everywhere. There's no escape. I'm God's lonely man -- Travis Bickle taxi driver

I think of this line now and then whenever I become alone in my room, at home or anywhere from room to the office.

This line in the movie Taxi Driver tells you a lot of things about the loneliness (A grave problem nowadays we all are suffering from) even it was filmed in the year 1976.

It focuses on the one's life, who doesn't have anyone to share his feelings, his tremendous thoughts, and so his life.

Currently, we live in the age where even after having Facebook, WhatsApp, Twitter all social sites to connect with people worldwide, we are alone, living alone, dying alone. These sites are no doubt big platforms to connect, interact with people, but this has made as a lonely person who doesn't has any real friends, relatives with whom he/she could share anything that would bring some serenity in the one's life.

These all problems have arisen due to lack of trust, belief on another person.

Nowadays, people even feel doubtful of their families, relatives and so don't share their feelings, emotions, depressions often.

It has brought many disorders like depression, clinical disorder, bipolar disorder that ruin one's life.

Ahead to these problems, people become obsessive about things they like to do alone. It doesn't matter whether it's a sexual activity or intercourse, but widely there are many things, even harmful ones that just make them ill at physical and so at the psychological level.

We need to maintain our social, mental health balanced that offer us a great opportunity at each and every front.

In my book Bachelor's Marriage, I have mentioned this thing with the protagonist Sujay, who is a lonely guy even having good friends and the family. This is because of his fear of getting rejected or denied by his surrounding.

For young ones, the loneliness can be a bliss at this time, but when you grow old you understand the need of being with the people, friends, community and you understand the feeling of affiliation, which empowers your health and mind.

Below are the some tips to get rid of it.

Make a plan.

Do something — anything.

Explore your belief.

Have realistic standards.

Bond with a good friend.

Reach out to a lonely person.

Make time for relationships.

Talk to a trusted friend or relative.


I hope these things will inculcate some good habits in you.

Golden Habits of 21 year old ideal guy

I am not 22-year-old, but **soon **after 1 year, 1 month and 5 days I will become the same old.
I consider myself as an ideal person. (According to me every person should consider himself/herself an ideal person that leads his/her life to the best)
I follow the given habits, I hope this habits would be useful to whoever who reads this answer.
These are 5 golden habits.

**1. Regularly following some good basics of your religion**
Yeah, it's important to keep yourself motivated, enriched with good thoughts and many other things that would drive your life to the best of it could be ever. It comes under the psychological aspect of your life, and for everyone in this world it's an important part of the life. You need to be psychologically fit to fight with expected-unexpected situations. I, whenever I wake up from the bed in the early morning, recite prayers for myself as well as for other living beings. I have been following this since last 15 years. It doesn't matter for me whether I am home or at hostel room or at friend's home or traveling to any place, no matter what condition I am in it's important for me to pray for the betterment of the living souls.

**2. Health is Wealth**
After psychological part eventually you need to bother about your body. Yeah, your body, your place, the only thing in the world you own in return of nothing, but it's more important than anything. Going to gym of course, a good thing to do, but it doesn't mean that you're healthy, fit person living life with best things, but it has many more aspects than you could ever imagine. I try to follow some basic things along with my regular gym schedule that not only keep me fit and good looking one (It means having a clear body, face) but also keeps me fresh throughout the day. As you see the progress of your health, the body you start realizing that how filthy scum you're before. My mom had inculcated this habit in me a long time before and I have been following her since then. So, if your health is at it's best you can do whatever you want to do. I was caught in an accident in the Scorpio which was hit by a truck perpendicularly. You can imagine the situation of getting yourself hit directly by the truck on the face/head. I was immediately taken to the hospital, I wasn't uncautious even for a second (which doesn't happen normally), the blood was coming as fast as it could, but even after this much of unfortunate I didn't need a bottle of blood. It happened due to the way I had kept my health before. And after 3 days, I was ready to do anything. (I traveled 1000 km after that)
Read my blog on the same issue at
The Akshat Solanki


**3. Respect your grandparents, parents and your siblings**
These people on the earth have put many things aside for you no matter what condition they had been in. Don't use any explicit word, don't even talk loudly with these people. This will only bring nothing, but the wrath of the karmas on you. You can only live better if you have good relation with your family, the rest can be seen later on. If you're an Indian, always bow to your parents, grandparents at least once in a day. Their blessings are more than anything.I need not say that I follow this rule, it's a must for everyone, even to my parents, you, your parents, your siblings.

**4. Keeping track of daily routine/activities**
It means keeping track of whatever you could do. I keep track of many things, yeah, many means really many that counts number of days I exercised, the number of times I did that '**manly**' thing, the number of movies (Hollywood, Bollywood) I watched, and many other activities you can keep track on. Keeping them tracked lets you know how much progress you're doing in your life. I don't mean that you should start measuring your days and compare them with each other, but to improve yourself at an every stage of the life.These things really help you to keep yourself hooked to important things, goals. Buy a personal calendar for this. I have been practicing this for last 1234 days, I hope you'd understand the way I typed this number rather than typing 3 years. Yeah, for me, it was 1234 days, not just 3 years.

**5. Respect the opposite gender, their opinions**
This is the most important thing when it comes to your social life. It's not about being feminist or masochist, but about being human.

**Disclaimer**: I am not an endorser of Salman Khan and his work, but some good habits.
You need to listen to people more than taking out words from your mouth. Listen more, and then speak.
Respecting doesn't mean that derating, it means that you're an ideal person to think otherwise and speak like a scum before anyone on anything.
I know these are more basic habits, but surely these are only good habits that would lift you to a higher position no matter where do you stand.

Best wishes.

Indian Tolerance

Who does feel that India is an intolerant country?
Really?
Then I have something to tell you about.
1. Almost everyone spits, throws garbage on the roads and streets, but still no one cares, and you still feel that Indian is an intolerant nation?
2. When it comes to Ganesha festival or Navratri, people are busy making noise with their speakers under the name of God (In fact, god has nothing to do with that), and you still feel that Indian is an intolerant nation?
3. When it's time of prayer for Muslims, they blow their speakers to call people to join the prayer. Really? What about other religion? Why Islam doesn' care about other religious group, people who don't want to listen to their annoying Azaan, and you still feel that Indian is an intolerant nation?
4. People keep bragging about their community, religion, their culture, and you still feel that Indian is an intolerant nation?
5. Almost all the parliamentary members speak without making any sense, and you still feel that Indian is an intolerant nation?
6. Even oppoition parties, their leaders keep pointing out our respected prime minister Mr. Narendra Modi, and you still feel that Indian is an intolerant nation?
7. Indian PM Mr. Narendra Modi is being criticized for his works towards nation by people who don't want Indians to develop themselves, and you still feel that Indian is an intolerant nation?
8. Instead of thinking of development, we people are made busy by poltical leaders thinking all time just about cone's community and how to make riots, and you still feel that Indian is an intolerant nation?
9. India has suffered a lot of envaders starting from Alexander the great, Mohammed Ghazini, to Moghuls and lastly English, French capitalists, and you still feel that Indian is an intolerant nation?
10. India has always accepted each an everyone irrespective of his/her religion, and you still feel that Indian is an intolerant nation?
11. Hindus even after being a major communtiy of the nation get criticized in Bollywood movies by non-Hindu actors, and you still feel that Indian is an intolerant nation?
This is the real height.
These all things are just true enough to say you that India isn't an intolerant nation, she has accepted all shit before and will keep accepting that.
We Indians should focus on worldly affairs and should get united against all anti-Indian movements irrespective of what our religions are!

Nowadays, keeping your body and mind sound is the most important thing. When you go online, search articles related health, you might find a million of articles on the same, then why I am writing one?
I am not here talking about just health, but your habits, your diet.
I am a 20 years old guy, and follow below given steps to maintain my health and my mind.

STEPS

1. Drink a bottle of water at early morning.
2. Drink water before and after 1 hour of your meal time, don't drink water while having meals.
3. Drink at least 5-6 litres of water daily.
4. An apple, a banana, and a glass of milk daily keep you healthy, and away from doctors.
5. Walk daily 6-7 kms.
6. Try to inhale - exhale air for 7 times a minute.
7. Avoid eating oily, spicy food, bread, and biscuits. They are not easily digested.

BookRature Vision

​Good morning everyone.

"If you are working on something exciting that you really care about, you don't have to be pushed. The vision pulls you."

STEVE JOBS

The famous quote by one of the greatest visionary tells you about what it does mean by vision and the implementation of the same.

Ever since the earth is created, human beings have been busy in implementing their ideas, their vision to make this world a better place than what it was before. Hence, we witnessed many ages, and time periods that revolutionized the way we live today.

Just the examples of visionary organizations like Google (The internet), Apple (The smartphone), Tesla (Pollution free and energy saving), Amazon (Online shopping) and persons like Albert Einstein, Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam would be enough to let you know what exactly I want to tell you about.

These companies, people had/have something visionary, passionate with that they wanted to make this world a better place for the human beings.

When we started with the idea of BookRature, from very first we focused on how to make lives of authors and readers, publishers, and booksellers better by adding some core values, by offering them services in the sector they work.

At BookRature, we thrive to bring betterment in the lives of people by bringing a desired change in the literary culture.

The vision is to give society more than what we have taken and with you the visionary journey shall remain a great experience for us.

Thank you.

BookRature Author Program

Person 1
I want to publish my book, but they (publishers) are asking for money. I asked them, "For what?" and they replied me with, 'Your book needs professional editing and cover designing along with marketing expenses.' I am worried whether I should pay them or not, because their portfolio is of a traditional publisher.
Person 2
I want my book to get published, but I don't have money, what do I do? I can write better, but I don't have enough money. Is there any way I can do both things at a one stroke?
Person 3
I have good writing skills and enough money, that helped me in publishing my book, but it isn't selling well, what do I do then? They (publisher) told me that it takes time, but it's been already more than 8 months and according to my contract my book should have been available in all major cities, which is not yet, why?
I found these 3 types of authors when we started working on BookRature.
The publishing process for a book is followed with given steps. (It's assumed that manuscript is written, but it's in early stages.)
Professional editing and cover designing
Publishing
Marketing and selling
You might have noticed that the given persona examples are related to these 3 steps mentioned above. An author needs these all things, and it is not necessary that each and everyone is capable of paying a fortune to get his/her book published, and generally what happens, 95% of books are not sold well, not even they exceed their first edition limit that is merely 1000 books.
Why do such things happen, even after paying a good sum and getting published by a well-known publisher?
It has following reasons.
Publishers don't help authors to do active marketing by themselves.
The work or the books are not well edited & marketed even after paying.
I listed out these points and was thinking the same. It took a month to realize us the main problem and that is the lack of a complete solution or a package to authors that guarantees them with
Editing, designing, and publishing
Marketing
Selling
Here, I want you to focus on the point, the problem and then the solution that is 'BookRature Author Program'.
Under this program, BookRature has decided to publish, market and sell books for authors at no upfront cost that means BookRature is a traditional publisher, marketers and a seller for authors.
We want to give authors the best experience of the publishing industry that would even help them in standing out in the literary culture and with this program we tend to bring betterment in the lives of authors.

BookRature Student Ambassadors

​Do you remember, when you had read the first letter of your first book? Do you remember, what it was then, scribbling through pages with our tiny fingers was just one of the best memories we had.

I remember the time when I had read the first letter of the book and that was 'Mahabharata', the epic which was written by 'Sri Ganesha' and told by 'Ved Vyasa' around 5000 years ago. The book has an immense captivating power to hypnotize you, motivate you to the core, which kept me spellbound when I was not even 4 years old.

Everyone in this world has read something special in his/her childhood that has/had a great impact on their respective lives.

While working on the BookRature, we came across the same thought and eventually came to a conclusion that 'Why we can't be a catalyst for children, students by providing them an access to the best quality literature? A catalyst which not only would inculcate the habit of good reading but qualities like leadership, oratorship etc, that will help them to make their lives better with lives of people around them.

'The BookRature Student Ambassadors Program' came up with the same motivation and insight, under which we, the BookRature Team, want to establish a leading platform for students worldwide.

We have already started working on this and surely with your blessings and motivation we would achieve our great milestone.

Team BookRature

The BookRature Story

Hello Folks.

You might have given a thought that what’s the BookRature is? What is it actually? What does it do? Why does it keep bragging about literature and author all the time?

Let me tell you an incident I came across in the month of July.

BookRature Story

My book Bachelor’$ Marriage got published in the month of May and I was working on my second novel; when I received a dozen of emails and messages from my author friends across the world, enquiring and telling me about their low sales figure, that was bothering them immensely.

They were worried about how they would reach to an active user/reader’s base/platform that would provide them a tool to connect with readers, bloggers with no upfront cost and their ‘Worries’ worried me more than anything else.

On July 25, 2015, at 10 PM, I discussed the problem with my one of the close friends Shashi Agarwal and there itself on that time, our real journey to construct a product for authors, readers and publishers started.

Since then, we have been burning the late night lamp daily, to reach out to authors and readers, connect authors to theBookRature, to build a platform that is not only for authors but also for readers who expects the best quality literature from authors worldwide.

In August, we came up with the idea of ‘Author’s Week Program’, which is an exclusive tribute to the most celebrated authors world has ever witnessed. The idea was the product of their service and a notion of offering society something great that would change live of people.

Reading is the habit, that needs to be inculcated in the childhood or teenage itself. Being avid readers ourselves, we designed a program for students called ‘BookRature Student Ambassadors Program‘ which is solely dedicated to students of schools/colleges across the world. As of now, we have reached to more than 100 schools/colleges in not just India but countries like US, Singapore and Pakistan.

‘BookRature Author Program’ is the program for writers/authors providing them assistance in editing the manuscript, designing cover pages to marketing and selling books to millions of readers with no upfront cost. We believe that for authors, their books are their companies, organizations that need to sell well.

So, like this we have got a lot of exciting surprises for everyone, you just need to type BookRature and you are in the world, you never imagined before.

Before writing this post, BookRature established its connection with more than 70 authors, 5 international publishers, 2 magazine publishers, 100 plus schools and colleges. This is not just our journey but the journey of more than thousands of people who are connected with us in this.

We have surely come a long way to travel in this odyssey of the literary culture and we are sure that with you guys, it will be the best one could ever think of.

Untitled Situaton

I have exam going on nowadays and so you know we all colleagues do go to library, I go there for some change in atmosphere and other goes for study. I like to study things which are interested to me not which are supposed to be learnt according to University or for college degree.
So, our work wasabout to complete and then we left library and took lift. Just 2 floors down, door opened and unexpectedly she was there in front of me. What? Yes, you heard me right, she was just there in front of me, holding her books and with her as usual her bestie was there. Thing is her bestie was looking straight whereas she was looking down and my friend told me that she could have given a bit side but she preferred to go back. What was all that?
Okay, so I didn't make myself like feel like I got affected but I was. I accept that.
Followed to that we came to Cafe Aditi to get ice-creams and While Mohit was getting them I was just looking here and there and the hell she again crossed me.
I wish someone had taken our picture that time. Thing is I was looking straight into her eyes and same she did. But the fish is I just showed away my anger and turned like a hell.
God knows whatever happened there, was not expected from my side neither by her.
And then she is all stuck to my head again.
I don't know how things would turn up ahead but for then we were like taking a sip of scotch and discussing more or less of our shitty problems.
No one wants to accept and thing with me is I can't detail each and everything.
Sanil told me that at least I could have said her 'Hi', but who would tell him that 'Things are not how you see them, they were always been different and will be different ahead.'
One needs to understand that nothing happened between us but it felt like a much of hell was happened.
No matter what I thought about her or what people's comment were about her I am now just thinking of her.
I don't know whether I myself want to clear this part or not because if she could wait for this much time then I am the guy who can hold himself doing Plank for 5 min.
