  Why The Poor Don’t Kill Us  The Psychology of Indians  by Manu Joseph, published by Aleph Book Company in 2025. Before I put my own words in the blog, lets read the author's note which states,  “This book is about how Indians behave, narrowly by a mystery – why is there peace between the classes in one of the most unequal regions on earth?” Manu Joseph ( Here ) is an Indian writer, journalist and editor of Open magazine. Previously, he has written fictions and has long and illustrious literary career. As a reporter, he has covered many stories across the India and world. This book basically sums up his observations on such assignments and othwerwise and its analysis.   The author has divided this book into 18 chapters and in chapter 1, he deals with " Who is Poor ".

My Inventions : Nikola Tesla Nikola Tesla, born  10th July 1856, Smiljan, Croatia. Recently, I've read his autobiography “My Inventions”. He was God gifted serial innovator and from very illustrios family. His mother belonged to one of the oldest families of the region having impeccable record as inventors and who invented several tools and implements. His father was military officer and later on turned to work as priest. Infact, his grandfather served in the army of Napoleon Bonaparte. From childhood he was suffering from light flashes and he could intuitively imagine the exact drawings without any assistance of pen or paper. He had clarity of vision but knowledge of principles of physics was a limiting factor in his earlier life. Firstly he proposed to transport letters and packages across seas through submarine tube in spherical containers. The pumping plant would force the water through the tube. In yet another project he proposed to construct a ring around equator to float f...
