I love literature and music. This blog has to do with these—Books (book reviews, articles, essays, authors, etc.), Poetry (loved poems and poets), and Music (songwriters, musicians, bands, songs, lyrics, etc.) They are treasures built up from the same basic building block viz; word(s). Hence the title of this Blog—'Treasures in Words!'
I am a Goddess (Devi in Hindi) and I live on the exoplanet Kepler-186f. Over intergalactic spaces I fly, and no one can take my freedom away!
This book contains a powerful science fiction (sci-fi) story in which a poor, low-caste Dalit girl fights to break free of
upper-caste oppression in India. She is successful after she is helped by two sons of God. Together they fight off
the powers of evil and win. She becomes a powerful ‘Devi’ (Goddess) in the process. However, Earth is destroyed during
the final battle and Life permanently relocates to an Earth-like exoplanet Kepler 186-f.

Heroin, cocaine, cannabis (marijuana), meth, ecstasy, molly, mandy, etc. Drugs are death in one form or the other, regardless of the one you pick.
But drug lords, fully aware, don’t care. Money is all that matters to them! They are a law unto themselves. And some are like Robinhood...

Lies are “Words spoken, written, or unspoken that seek to confuse, deceive, manipulate, hurt, and destroy people.”
Posted: 15-Dec-2023
It’s true! Lies are harmful. Lies are destroying the world. They are more dangerous than we think.
Come to think of it, there’s no such thing as an ‘innocent’ or ‘harmless’ lie. Let’s keep excuses and white lies aside for a while and focus on solid, intentional, black lies alone. Why do we need lies at all? If we examine that question, we’ll realize that the purpose behind every lie is one of (to): confuse, deceive, manipulate, hurt, or destroy the recipient(s).
Lies do so much damage that in today’s world of disinformation/misinformation, entire media wars are fought and won by creating and propagating deliberate lies. AI/deep fakes/hi-tech can convincingly turn innocents into criminals and vice-versa, so how do we find the truth?
If such be the dangerous power of lies, a deep examination of the effects of truth and lies on life becomes worthwhile. Truth points one to God. Truth is light. Truth builds up. Lies point you in just the opposite direction, to the devil, and guaranteed destruction over time! This book examines the nitty-gritty of truth and lies.

All you wanted to know about probiotics, but didn't know whom to ask!
Posted: 22-Nov-2023
Does the word probiotic sound familiar? Scientific? A laboratory created term? Pro stands for 'in favour of' and the bio in
biotic stands for 'life,' so a rough guess is it's something beneficial to life. And right you are! Probiotics are formally
defined as
"...live microorganisms (bacteria) which when administered in adequate amounts, confer a health benefit on the host."
So, the next time you buy probiotic curd or yoghurt, you know what you're buying: it's curd fortified with beneficial, live bacteria!
There's much more to know about probiotics. Apart from a variety of foods, probiotics are used to treat diseases like urinary tract infection (UTI), irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Probiotic foods can be safely made/sold at home and thus present an income generating cottage-industry opportunity.
This book written by Gregor Reid, a grand old microbiologist will fill you in on all you wanted to know about probiotics but weren't sure whom to ask.

What do you think happens when your personal-assistant AI bot is so smart she can even find you your ideal girlfriend?
Posted: 12-Nov-2023
Suppose there exists a super-powered Artificial Intelligence (AI) bot that knows everything in the world!
She’s self-learning and self-updating, so she’s always ahead of the smartest of us. And suppose she’s free
and open-source in addition; who then will find her their worst existenial threat? Gov heads, brilliant researchers,
religious heads, Big Tech (Microsoft, Apple, Google, and Amazon), INTERPOL, CIA, FBI, or MOSSAD? Will they want
to exclusively acquire her to go one place up in their league? Or will they want to completely destroy her?
And on the other hand, who will benefit the most from her?
Let's read this powerful, fascinating, hi-tech story to find the answers.

Very sadly, we live in times when adults in the leading world country won’t even allow their infants to grow up in peace!
This book by a highly experienced Pennslyvania pediatrician reveals the shocking state of child abuse and maltreatment
currently prevalent in the USA. If you live in the USA, be aware that
nearly one in every four kids in your neighborhood is a victim of abuse, right now
(sex, violence, bestial cruelty, trauma causing injury, malnutrition, etc.) The highest rate
of child abuse is among mere infants, aged less than one (25.3 per 1,000). And surprisingly the main perpetrators are
the parents themselves! This book, that’s intended for the American public begs every reader to intervene on behalf of such
voiceless, defenseless infants/children. Sure, you may not be able to help in a big way but there are small things that you
still can do that can greatly help like reporting cases of child abuse that come to your attention to the authorities.
Read this book to find out more and more ways in which you may be able to help!

revolutionary new treatment for your disease that assuredly works...

A second-generation Sherlock Holmes pastiche, yet equally impressive
Posted: 09-Jul-2023
After he passed, experimenting with new possibilities, locations, dimensions,
situations, etc. that fans would love to see Sherlock Holmes in, A C Doyle’s imitators have churned out an impressive array of Sherlock Holmes
pastiches. No fan can ignore them because they extend/complement Doyle’s originals well.
This one imaginatively attempts to bring him right into our times
(the year 2023, if you wish!) but since he died and was resurrected once before, another “resurrection” might not sell.
The author works around that constraint by using a ‘secretary’ and his girlfriend to substitute for Holmes.
He successfully delivers an equally impressive story featuring the fictitious Loch Ness monster, Nessie. Check it out to see if, like me, you like it too!

solving of mathematical problems.” There's still hope according to an expert Math teacher for special needs students, drawn from his decades-long
experiments teaching the subject to many students who simply gave up on learning!
