Being Ritu is the story of a woman who shed her shyness and stepped into the limelight, taking on a variety of roles - entrepreneur, insurance advisor, author, negotiator and pioneer. It's about her quiet determination, grace and courage as she lived every moment to its fullest, even while battling a dreaded disease, and touched the lives of everyone around her. It's also about those who added colour to the kaleidoscope of her life - her family, friends, colleagues and well-wishers. With tributes from her sambandhi Amitabh Bachchan, family members Randhir Kapoor, Rima Jain, Kareena Kapoor and Ranbir Kapoor, as well as friends such as Karan Johar, Sonali Bendre, Kiran Mazumdar-Shaw, Gauri Khan and many others, this is the story of a woman like no other.

Download or read book Biofabrication written by Ritu Raman and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2021-09-14 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How engineered materials and machines powered by living biological cells can tackle technological challenges in medicine, agriculture, and global security. You are a biological machine whose movement is powered by skeletal muscle, just as a car is a machine whose movement is powered by an engine. If you can be built from the bottom up with biological materials, other machines can be as well. This is the conceptual starting point for biofabrication, the act of building with living cells--building with biology in the same way we build with synthetic materials. In this volume in the MIT Press Essential Knowledge series, Ritu Raman offers an accessible introduction to biofabrication, arguing that it can address some of our greatest technological challenges. After presenting the background information needed to understand the emergence and evolution of biofabrication and describing the fundamental technology that enables building with biology, Raman takes deep dives into four biofabrication applications that have the potential to affect our daily lives: tissue engineering, organs-on-a-chip, lab-grown meat and leather, and biohybrid machines. Organs-on-a-chip (devices composed of miniature model tissues), for example, could be used to test new medicine and therapies, and lab-grown meat could alleviate environmental damage done by animal farming. She shows that biological materials have abilities synthetic materials do not, including the ability to adapt dynamically to their environments. Exploring the principles of biofabrication, Raman tells us, should help us appreciate the beauty, adaptiveness, and persistence of the biological machinery that drives our bodies and our world.
Book Synopsis The Empath's Journey by : Ritu Kaushal
Download or read book The Empath's Journey written by Ritu Kaushal and published by . This book was released on 2019-03-18 with total page 301 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Have you been called "too sensitive" all your life and tried to fit yourself inside the box of the "normal"? Do you absorb other people's feelings like a sponge? Do you find yourself drowning in these feelings and sensations? Do you feel that your acute sensitivity sometimes lets toxic people in and makes you into a victim? If yes, you might be an empath, a Highly Sensitive Person who is finely tuned in to energy but who can also get overwhelmed because of this tendency to notice details. In The Empath's Journey, San Francisco Bay Area-based writer Ritu Kaushal takes you on an intimate journey to rediscover and recover what it means to be an emotional empath and a Highly Sensitive Person. Combining personal stories with insights from Jungian Depth Psychology, Transactional Analysis and Art Therapy, The Empath's Journey shows empaths how to reclaim the core of their sensitivity from the deeply injuring stories they have been told about it. In this behind-the-scenes look at an empath's life, we first meet the author at a pivotal point after she has relocated from India to the United States. As she gets inundated with noticing thousands of small differences in a new culture, she finds herself face-to-face with the same old dilemma: Is feeling and noticing so much really such a great thing? Over the next six years, we journey with her as she struggles with questions that every emotional empath has battled with. How do you cut through overwhelm when you feel swamped by noticing subtle details and feelings? How do you set boundaries when you almost feel other people's emotions in your own body? Is being an empath even a real thing, or is being an empath a maladaptation, the same as being codependent? As the author cuts through the muck of old beliefs, we see her finding pieces of her answers. We accompany her as she assembles different tools to channel her crackling sensitivity so that it can be harnessed as a source of power instead of leaving her feeling overwhelmed and spinning out of control. Instead of seeing themselves through the lens of the labels of "too weak" and "too soft," The Empath's Journey shows empaths that many of their struggles with being highly sensitive come from the fact that they've been taught to treat their sensitivity like a dragon, something to fight against, instead of seeing that this seeming dragon guards their very treasure. In this believing mirror of a book, you will find all those lost, wounded parts of yourself that have numbed out because they were not seen. You will also find the thread back to that soft sensitivity that makes you You, that You you have always been, and will always be. The Empath's Journey is calling you back home to your sensitive self. Editorial Reviews: The Empath's Journey is essential reading for anyone struggling with being an empath or seeking support as a Highly Sensitive Person. If you have ever felt misunderstood as an intuitive, this is the book for you. It's a powerful key to unlocking the enigma of the empath and helping unearth our gifts as well as our purpose here. -- Lauren Sapala, author of The INFJ Writer. Empaths have an intimate experience with the world around them which is hard to describe and even harder to write about. Ritu masterfully takes other empaths on her inner and outer journey from self-discovery to self-mastery. She journeys across cultures, archetypes, and psychological challenges to claim the gifts of being a highly sensitive person and an empath. This is an inspirational book for other empaths seeking their journey to self-mastery. Highly recommended! -- Maria Hill, Founder, Sensitive Evolution and author of The Emerging Sensitive.
Download or read book Raj Kapoor written by Ritu Nanda and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2017-12-14 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Raj Kapoor, the creator of some of Hindi cinema's most enduring classics, is one of the greatest film-makers India has ever produced. As producer, director, actor, editor, storyteller, he blazed a trail for subsequent generations of film-makers to follow and aspire to. He was also known to the world as an extraordinary and controversial showman, an entertainer par excellence, someone who created the template for Hindi cinema.Raj Kapoor: The One and Only Showman is a unique experiment, both an autobiography and a biography. While the autobiography uses his own words, culled from interviews, journals and anecdotes, to provide an intimate glimpse into the mind of a genius, the biography is an attempt to record for posterity the lesser-known facets of his magnificent personality through the recollections of his family, colleagues and friends. As revealing as it is engaging, this is a fascinating portrait of the man regarded as the last of the true movie moguls of Indian cinema.
Book Synopsis Teach a Woman to Fish by : Ritu Sharma
Download or read book Teach a Woman to Fish written by Ritu Sharma and published by St. Martin's Press. This book was released on 2014-06-10 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the old axiom goes: "Give a man a fish and he eats for a day. Teach a man to fish and he eats for a lifetime." But teach a woman to fish, and everyone eats for a lifetime. In this firsthand account, Ritu Sharma shares how women can, and are, overcoming the forces that keep them in poverty. She chronicles her travels through four countries—Sri Lanka, Burkina Faso, Honduras, and Nicaragua—and the intimate interactions she had with the women living there. Sharma's story not only details her experiences, but also looks at the broader systems that prevent women from leaving poverty behind. From lack of property rights and government corruption to the scarcity of basic infrastructure like roads, these women are restricted by the external limitations placed upon them. Sharma draws from her experiences to frame a larger exploration of how Americans can be instrumental in helping women break free of restrictive systems and begin to facilitate women's upward mobility. Written in her engaging personal voice, Teach a Woman to Fish provides an insider's look at women in poverty, how Washington works, and how change really happens—from the United States to the rest of the world.

Download or read book Stages of Capital written by Ritu Birla and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2009-01-14 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Stages of Capital, Ritu Birla brings research on nonwestern capitalisms into conversation with postcolonial studies to illuminate the historical roots of India’s market society. Between 1870 and 1930, the British regime in India implemented a barrage of commercial and contract laws directed at the “free” circulation of capital, including measures regulating companies, income tax, charitable gifting, and pension funds, and procedures distinguishing gambling from speculation and futures trading. Birla argues that this understudied legal infrastructure institutionalized a new object of sovereign management, the market, and along with it, a colonial concept of the public. In jurisprudence, case law, and statutes, colonial market governance enforced an abstract vision of modern society as a public of exchanging, contracting actors free from the anachronistic constraints of indigenous culture. Birla reveals how the categories of public and private infiltrated colonial commercial law, establishing distinct worlds for economic and cultural practice. This bifurcation was especially apparent in legal dilemmas concerning indigenous or “vernacular” capitalists, crucial engines of credit and production that operated through networks of extended kinship. Focusing on the story of the Marwaris, a powerful business group renowned as a key sector of India’s capitalist class, Birla demonstrates how colonial law governed vernacular capitalists as rarefied cultural actors, so rendering them illegitimate as economic agents. Birla’s innovative attention to the negotiations between vernacular and colonial systems of valuation illustrates how kinship-based commercial groups asserted their legitimacy by challenging and inhabiting the public/private mapping. Highlighting the cultural politics of market governance, Stages of Capital is an unprecedented history of colonial commercial law, its legal fictions, and the formation of the modern economic subject in India.
Book Synopsis Rethinking Aesthetics by : Ritu Bhatt
Download or read book Rethinking Aesthetics written by Ritu Bhatt and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-03-05 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rethinking Aesthetics is the first book to bring together prominent voices in the fields of architecture, philosophy, aesthetics, and cognitive sciences to radically rethink the relationship between body and design. These essays argue that aesthetic experiences can be nurtured at any moment in everyday life, thanks to recent discoveries by researchers in neuroscience, phenomenology, somatics, and analytic philosophy of the mind, who have made the correlations between aesthetic cognition, the human body, and everyday life much clearer. The essays, by Yuriko Saito, Juhani Pallasmaa, and Richard Shusterman, among others, range from an integrated mind-body approach to chair design, to Zen Buddhist notions of mindfulness, to theoretical accounts of existential relationships with buildings, to present a full spectrum of possible inquiries. By placing the body in the center of design, Rethinking Aesthetics opens new directions for rethinking the limits of both essentialism and skepticism.
