He fi nds freedom and companionship outside, but pressure building to revolt against the city’s insidious regime of social control. Leadership is thrust upon him, with only his visions for guidance, only a small band of friends for support – and the fates of both Newcity and the outside world at stake.

श्री हरिवंश राय बच्चन का काव्य-संग्रह - मधुकलश Free Download

महान कवि और लेखक श्री हरिवंश राय बच्चन का काव्य-संग्रह - मधुकलश ।

मधुकलश की रचना लेखक ने १९३५-३६ में की थी ।

अग्रणी कवि बच्चन की कविता का आरंभ तीसरे दशक के मध्य ‘मधु’ अथवा मदिरा के इर्द-गिर्द हुआ और ‘मधुशाला’ से आरंभ कर ‘मधुबाला’ और ‘मधुकलश’ एक-एक वर्ष के अंतर से प्रकाशित हुए। ये बहुत लोकप्रिय हुए और प्रथम ‘मधुशाला’ ने तो धूम ही मचा दी। यह दरअसल हिन्दी साहित्य की आत्मा का ही अंग बन गई है और कालजयी रचनाओं की श्रेणी में खड़ी हुई है।

इन कविताओं की रचना के समय कवि की आयु 27-28 वर्ष की थी, अतः स्वाभाविक है कि ये संग्रह यौवन के रस और ज्वार से भरपूर हैं। स्वयं बच्चन ने इन सबको एक साथ पढ़ने का आग्रह किया है।
कवि ने कहा है :

‘‘आज मदिरा लाया हूं- जिसे पीकर भविष्यत् के भय भाग जाते हैं और भूतकाल के दुख दूर हो जाते हैं...., आज जीवन की मदिरा, जो हमें विवश होकर पीनी पड़ी है, कितनी कड़वी है। ले, पान कर और इस मद के उन्माद में अपने को, अपने दुख को, भूल जा।’’

मधुशाला और मधुकलश के बाद पाठकों के लिए आज प्रस्तुत है - महान कवि और लेखक श्री हरिवंश राय बच्चन का काव्य-संग्रह - मधुबाला ।

मधुबाला की रचना लेखक ने १९३४-३५ में की थी ।

अग्रणी कवि बच्चन की कविता का आरंभ तीसरे दशक के मध्य ‘मधु’ अथवा मदिरा के इर्द-गिर्द हुआ और ‘मधुशाला’ से आरंभ कर ‘मधुबाला’ और ‘मधुकलश’ एक-एक वर्ष के अंतर से प्रकाशित हुए। ये बहुत लोकप्रिय हुए और प्रथम ‘मधुशाला’ ने तो धूम ही मचा दी। यह दरअसल हिन्दी साहित्य की आत्मा का ही अंग बन गई है और कालजयी रचनाओं की श्रेणी में खड़ी हुई है।

कुछ अंश:

मैं मधुबाला मधुशाला की,
मैं मधुशाला की मधुबाला!
मैं मधु-विक्रेता को प्यारी, मधु के धट मुझ पर बलिहारी,
प्यालों की मैं सुषमा सारी, मेरा रुख देखा करती है मधु-प्यासे नयनों की माला।
मैं मधुशाला की मधुबाला!

texts on which to base the translations and in part because of a desire to render the texts in a more contemporary English. Simpson (classics and philosophy, CUNY) has produced a fresh and lively translation that is perhaps more logically ordered. He makes a strong case for rearranging the standard order of the books of the Politics to provide a sequence more in keeping with Aristotle's intentions, positioning Books 7 and 8 to follow Book 3. The text begins with a translation of Book 10, Chapter 9 of the Nicomachean Ethics, which Simpson argues is a precursor to the Politics.

2 States By Chetan Bhagat

noreply@blogger.com (Prashant Dubey) — Sun, 07 Feb 2010 19:17:00 +0000

2 States - The Story Of My Marriage is a 2009 novel written by Chetan Bhagat.

It is the story about a couple coming from two different states of India, who face hardships in convincing their parents and persuading them to get married. The novel is a fiction, but is said to be inspired from the real story[1] of the author and his wife Anusha who are from Delhi and Tamil Nadu, respectively.

Synopsis: The story is about Krish and Ananya who hail from two different states of India, are deeply in love and want to get married against their parents' wishes.

The story begins in the IIM Ahmedabad mess, where Krish, a Punjabi boy from Delhi sights Ananya, a Tamilian girl from Chennai, quarreling with the mess staff about the food. They become friends in a few days and decide to study together every night. In time, they become romantically involved. They both get good jobs, and have serious plans for their wedding. The story is based on how they struggle to convince their parents for the marriage, and eventually succeed in doing so. It is narrated in a first person point of view in a humorous tone, often taking digs at Tamilian and Punjabi culture. The plot is loosely based on the life story of Chetan Bhagat and his wife Anusha, who are from Delhi and Tamil Nadu, respectively. This is the first Chetan Bhagat book based largely on his life. He wrote this novel after quitting his job at an investment bank. [2]

Understanding Open Source and Free Software Licensing

noreply@blogger.com (Prashant Dubey) — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 21:33:00 +0000

If you’ve held back from developing open source or free software projects because you don’t understand the implications of the various licenses, you’re not alone. Many developers believe in releasing their software freely, but have hesitated to do so because they’re concerned about losing control over their software. Licensing issues are complicated, and both the facts and fallacies you hear word-of-mouth can add to the confusion.
Understanding Open Source and Free Software Licensing helps you make sense of the different options available to you. This concise guide focuses on annotated licenses, offering an in-depth explanation of how they compare and interoperate, and how license choices affect project possibilities. Written in clear language that you don’t have to be a lawyer to understand, the book answers such questions as: What rights am I giving up? How will my use of OS/FS licensing affect future users or future developers? Does a particular use of this software–such as combining it with proprietary software–leave me vulnerable to lawsuits?
Following a quick look at copyright law, contracts, and the definition of “open source,” the book tackles the spectrum of licensing, including:

The MIT (or X), BSD, Apache and Academic Free licenses

The GPL, LGPL, and Mozilla licenses

The QT, Artistic, and Creative Commons licenses

Classic Proprietary licenses

Sun Community Source license and Microsoft Shared Source project

The book wraps up with a look at the legal effects–both positive and negative–of open source/free software licensing.

Licensing is a major part of what open source and free software are all about, but it’s still one of the most complicated areas of law. Even the very simple licenses are tricky. Understanding Open Source and Free Software Licensing bridges the gap between the open source vision and the practical implications of its legal underpinnings. If open source and free software licenses interest you, this book will help you understand them. If you’re an open source/free software developer, this book is an absolute necessity.

Python Create Modify Reuse

noreply@blogger.com (Prashant Dubey) — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 22:46:00 +0000

Python: Create-Modify-Reuse is designed for all levels of Python developers interested in a practical, hands-on way of learning Python development. This book is designed to show you how to use Python (in combination with the raw processing power of your computer) to accomplish real-world tasks in a more efficient way. Don’t look for an exhaustive description of the Python language––you won’t find it. The book’s main purpose is not to thoroughly cover the Python language, but rather to show how you can use Python to create robust, real-world applications.

In this respect, the goal is similar to foreign-language books that identify themselves as “conversational,” focusing on the vocabulary and concepts that people will need the most. Likewise, I focus specifically on the Python knowledge needed to accomplish practical, specific tasks. Along the way, you will learn to create useful, efficient scripts that are easy to maintain and enhance.

This book is for developers with some experience with Python who want to explore how to develop full-blown applications. It is also for developers with experience in other languages who want to learn Python by building robust applications. It is well-suited for developers who like to “learn by doing,” rather than exploring a language feature by feature. To get the most out of the book, you should understand basic programming principles.

Because this book is project-based, you can approach it in numerous ways. You can, of course, read it from cover to cover. Chapters 2 through 8 each cover a different project, so the chapters are independent of each other. However, because each chapter project is covered individually, there may be some overlap of information. I also sometimes refer to explanations of particular topics covered in previous chapters. This will help to reinforce important concepts.

The end of the book contains two appendixes. The first one is a listing of Python resources you can check out for more information. The second one will help you with installing additional components used in some of the examples.
