Dreams from my Father:Obama autobiography
This book is a narrative of Obama´s quest to unravel the puzzle of being a black man. The personal pursuit took a public dimension when he forced himself to embrace the cause of the black community, starting from the time when he was a college student. He looked at himself, looked at the whites and analysed what passed in the looks between the whites and blacks. He dug deeper into the issue by introspection and reading. He heard the stories of discrimination and frustration from fellow blacks. Finally, he decided to contribute to the black cause in his own way by volunteering to become a community organiser. Many black leaders and intellectuals had gone through that, before Obama. But what makes the case of Obama different is that his story is not a typical, plain and simple black and white one.

A great indian capitalist biography sharing with u feels me happy
KALAM at his first death anniversary
"he has taken his task of delivering the first memorial lecture very seriously and had prepared for it by "reading many books" and "even going to the Internet." His lecture, ‘Growth is Life’, was illustrated with two couplets by the classical Tamil poet Thiruvaluvar. A true leader, he noted, would always defeat problems and never be defeated by them."

He was unhappy these days. A few days later his unhappiness turned into severe depression. His heart felt like trapped between the two powerful forces; each one pulling it in the opposite direction. He went on extravagant shopping sprees, ate his favorite food, talked with his closest friends but nothing and no one brought peace to his doleful heart.
He opened his safe and took out some more money for his lavish spending. He thought of visiting Bali to cheer his dismal soul up. However, what that pitiable man didn’t know was that black money can buy everything but happiness.

100 words fiction:break up
For three years she told him every hour of every day that she loved him. Then the girl got fed up. She realized he was dominating her life and in order to bring peace she had to throw him out. She did. He yearned. She disliked him. He begged. She hated him.
He said he couldn’t live without her. She said she was unsure of their future. He started writing imaginary letters to her. He would talk for hours about their imaginary future. When imagination took control of his sense he lost touch with reality and ended in lunatic asylum...

Prisoners and hats puzzles: differnt
4 prisoners are caught and are to be punished. The Judge allows them
to be freed if they can solve a puzzle.
If they do not, they will be hung. They agreed.
The 4 prisoners are lined up on some steps (shown above). They are
all facing in the same direction. A wall separates the fourth man
from the other three.
So to summarize:-
Man 1 can see men 2 and 3.
Man 2 can see man 3.
Man 3 can see none of the others.
Man 4 can see none of the others.
The prisoners are wearing hats. They are told that there are two white
hats and two black hats. The men initially don't know what colour
hat they are wearing. They are told to shout out the color of the hat
that they are wearing as soon as they know for certain what colour
it is.
They are not allowed to turn round or move.
They are not allowed to talk to each other.
They are not allowed to take their hats off. Who is the first person
to shout out and why?
