City Times and Other Poems : Vihang A. Naik
City Times and Other Poems
Vihang A. Naik throws light on the life of a city in all its shades, glory and misery in his City Times and Other Poems. It is an anthology of his intuitive and philosophical poems. The Poems are divided in 6 segments. ‘Love Song of a Journey Man’ is more or less an inner travelogue, The segments, for instance, ‘Mirrored Man’ is about the other chimeras in the city .
The people in the city are capricious like the walk of a crab or the colours of a chameleon. While, ‘The Path of Wisdom’ is about the beginning of meditation and knowledge. ‘At the Shore’ records the poet’s sense of futility, memory, pain, exile and alienation at the shore of life.
The title of this collection is also the heading for the last of its six sections, in which the city is unfolded as a market place, as a heaven for underdogs, and as a seed bed of change and is observed at evening, at mid-night, by moon light and through fog and haze.
The poem titled ‘Self Portrait’ starts with the diagrammatic sketch with 7 blank pages where the reader finds only 3 words at the tail-end of the page…Here “the poet envisions in an epiphanic moment, the true nature of ones self when he wakes up, ‘to see my / Self ‘ ‘discovered beyond thought’ . Between ‘my self’ and ‘discovered beyond thought’ are five blank pages. The ineffable epiphany of ambiguous. It may either suggest the discovery of a transcendental Self beyond all thought and language or it may suggest the discovery of an Absence beyond the human thought and speech.

A Patient’s Guide to Pain Management : Harvey Jenkins MD PHD
A Patient’s Guide to Pain Management
I’ve written a book about pain management and navigating through the stigma that encompasses people in pain to find the care that they need.
It is written in plain english, rather than medicalese, and hopefully will help someone out there in pain. It explains how to find a doctor, what to expect when you are there, and how to avoid the “traps” of being “fired” as a patient.
As the climate of treating pain and seeking pain treatment become increasing repressive, this ebook will put you ahead of game, so you can worry about the more important things in life, and not just your pain.

PJ is a proud member of the gay community of the city: Director of the District Art Gallery, self confident and possessive man. In the most casual way, he met Brigitte, a school teacher who enjoys the nightlife without concern.
The unusual encounter will let them emotionally engaged. The initial attraction confuses PJ but it does not mean that he will give up. Brigitte knows that she is playing with fire and has high possibilities of being hurt. Her efforts to walk away from this relationship that only can give her frustration are useless.
They have no alternative but to explore this attraction in the middle of a society that is not ready to accept them. In a city near the sea, in the middle of anonymity, arises this story about the complexity of an out-of-common relationship. A gay man. A straight woman. It is just absurd.
But despite society, reason and even themselves, their love survives and remains almost intact across a journey of self knowledge, overcoming discrimination and, at the end, the evolution of their souls. They will discover that nothing is predetermined by the rules and that barriers are useless when an authentic feeling is burning their hearts.
