Sunshine and Dynamites


Niket Raj Dwivedi - 2021
    No matter how much you relate to one of them, know that Poetry in itself is music to the eyes and it was always meant to be felt and forgotten. Rest, love has always been tragic and mostly meaningless and temporary. Poetry in young India has been wildly popular and the trend apart from romance novels, chick-lits and rom-coms has been observed in short form of writing too. As the written art evolves, Sunshine and Dynamites by Niket tries to explore this format and aims to inspire more such poets to express themselves freely. All the poems were crafted from incidents that lasted like poetry itself- temporarily. This poetry book might just have some poems that you read and get etched in your minds but you then have a hard time figuring out from which poetry book or poet it actually was from. Sunshine and Dynamites is the second poetry collection by Niket Raj Dwivedi, a 23 year old entrepreneur and author based out of Bangalore as of 2021.

N.A.S 2 (Niggas Ain't Shit 2)


Jessica N. Watkins - 2017
    They lie, cheat, and let you down. Yet, in part one, we learned that Nas was far from simply being a lying, cheating dog. He was a calculating manipulator that single-handedly ruined the lives of everyone around him, simply because of his selfish greed to get money. The only person with enough rage to end Nas’ wrath was his girlfriend of thirteen years, Tabitha. But at what cost will it be? Taking Nas out would cure her pain, but she didn’t realize that while doing so, she was still inflicting more chaos and hurt on herself and her children. Aaliyah finally confessed to Fabe, Nas’ brother, that she is just as much in love with him as he has been with her. She finally walked away from unknowingly being Nas’ side piece. She has given herself to the man that has been pining for her for over a year. But is it too late? Will Fabe choose her or his loyalty to his brother? Jaleesa and Moses’ relationship has been more down than up lately. Jaleesa is beyond tired of his cheating ways as he ignores his responsibility while dream chasing with Nas. Facing a charge that she has gotten because of Moses, she is done with their relationship. But with Moses now pulling through a near death experience, she has a change of heart. She can’t see herself walking away from him after praying that he lived to see another day. Is Jaleesa making the right choice, though? Will Jaleesa finally get her happily ever after, or will Moses continue to be more loyal to the streets than he has been to his woman?

Better Late Than Never: From Barrow Boy to Ballroom


Len Goodman - 2009
    Len Goodman tells all about his new-found fame, his experiences on Strictly Come Dancing, and also on the no.1 US show Dancing with the Stars and his encounters with the likes of Heather Mills-McCartney and John Sergeant. But the real story is in his East End roots. And Len's early life couldn't be more East End. The son of a Bethnal Green costermonger he spent his formative years running the fruit and veg barrow and being bathed at night in the same water Nan used to cook the beetroot. There are echoes of Billy Elliot too. Though Len was a welder in the London Docks, he dreamt of being a professional footballer, and came close to making the grade had he not broken his foot on Hackney Marshes. The doctor recommended ballroom dancing as a light aid to his recovery. And Len, it turned out, was a natural. At first his family and work mates mocked, but soon he had made the final of a national competition and the welders descended en masse to the Albert Hall to cheer him on. With his dance partner, and then wife Cheryl, Len won the British Championships in his late twenties and ballroom dancing became his life. Funny and heart-warming, Len Goodman's autobiography has all the honest East End charm of Tommy Steele, Mike Read or Roberta Taylor.

Alone In The Wind: A Journal of Discovery in 'The Summer of 88'


Charles Schiereck - 2015
     1988 would prove to be the worst drought since the ‘dustbowl’ of the 1930’s.  Yellowstone would burn,  Ronald Reagan would shake his fist at the 'Evil Empire', and the author, oblivious to it all, hit the road and never looked back. That trip would consume the entire summer, logging over twelve thousand miles from sea to sea and back.  “Alone In The Wind” is the account of that trip, with pictures, maps, historical & geographical notes, and rolling narrative. A few selected excerpts: The early evening sun is bright red and except for wind slapping the tents, all is quiet.  Other campers are talking in subdued tones.  The  scene has a timeless quality I can’t explain.  Maybe it’s how I’d picture an Oregon Trail  camp.  Everybody too exhausted to do more than whisper, anticipating the day ahead, trying to forget the ones behind. Kurt Vonnegut might have written that the Custer annihilation occurred solely to provide me with a ranger to give advice on the coming storms.  That irony rattled around in my helmet for the next forty miles. Chewing mindlessly I stare at passing trucks with red eyes.  This has been an endless, grueling day.  A far cry from the mystical experience that other writers claim.  The bone numbing reality of motorcycle touring is exhaustion, dehydration, disorientation. Vacant eyes seem to be nothing more than rubber stoppers that keep my liquefied brains from spilling out over my face. Carved out by the tides, the cave is probably underwater for most of the day.  At the entrance is a rock with a well-formed depression at the top.  Without thinking I dump both bottles of Atlantic Ocean into that shallow basin, move deeper into the cave and sit.  There’s a lot on my mind, and it all seems to be demanding immediate attention.  The mission will be accomplished.  The oceans will unite.  It will take a few hours, and I won’t be here to see it, but this is a better way.  Letting the sea take it on its own terms seems more fitting. Heat was the real problem.  Both the heat of a western summer day and the heat thrown off an air-cooled engine that's being pushed to its limits.   While it was never transcendental, the passage was always very real, very immediate, and unforgettable.  Thinking back to the other riders that I met, it seemed the same for them as well.  They were all worn down with fatigue and loneliness - while at the same time brimming over with confidence and satisfaction. I won't forget them.

Bomb: My Autobiography


Adam Jones - 2015
    These are the players who get the crowd on their feet, who set stadiums abuzz. But they only get to do these things because other, less glorified figures do all of the donkey work. Adam Jones is one such figure. And for a decade he was one of the world's best. On many occasions when George North or Shane Williams were careering under the posts to score a try, and the crowd was engulfed in rapturous joy, Adam Jones would be hauling himself up from the turf, spitting blood and mud, and massaging his aching neck. He hadn't scored the try; but more often than not it was his graft and strength which had made it. This is the story of 'Bomb': the self-effacing manual labourer from the Swansea Valley who traded laying paving slabs for running out in some of the world's most imposing sporting citadels. He rose to the pinnacle of his sport, winning virtually everything there was to be won: Grand Slams, Six Nations Championships, Lions tours, Pro12 titles. In a nation of rugby heroes, Adam Jones has become a legend. Only six Welshmen can say they've won three Grand Slams. He is one of them: not just as a bit-part player, but as the beating heart of the most successful squad in Welsh rugby history. His was one of the first names on the team sheet. He was - literally and metaphorically - the cornerstone of this Welsh side. In his autobiography, Jones reveals exactly what goes on in the murky depths of the front row: the tricks, the techniques, the physical and psychological warfare; and the mental fortitude it takes to endure in one of the hardest positions, in one of the world's toughest contact sports.
