चर्चा में बने रहने के लिए लोग आजकल क्या नहीं करते दूसरी ओर, चर्चा का अपना कोई सुनिश्चित चरित्र नहीं होता...मरीचिकाओं में भटकते-भटकते चर्चा स्वयं एक मरीचिका का रूप ग्र्रहण कर लेती है। साहित्य भी दुर्भाग्यवश इस मरीचिका से नहीं बच पाया। साहित्य में अनेकानेक गढ़ बनते-बिगड़ते रहे और उसमें राजनीति भी चोरी-छिपे पैर पसारती रही। अपवादस्वरूप, कुछ ही लेखक हैं, जो साहित्य में उपजे वादों-विवादों से बचते हुए अपनी साधना में तल्लीन रह सके। ऐसे ही स्वनामधन्य साहित्यकारों में एक हैं डॉ. सीतेश आलोक, जिन्हें साहित्य न तो विरासत में मिला और न किसी मठ अथवा मंच से। आत्मसम्मान के धनी डॉ. आलोक ने अपनी शर्तों पर चलते-जूझते हुए स्वयं अपनी राह बनाई और कला की अनेक विधाओं में साधानारत रहते हुए अपनी रचनाओं को मर्मस्पर्शी अनुभवों से समृद्ध किया। वैसे तो डॉ. आलोक ने लगभग सभी विधाओं में महत्त्वपूर्ण योगदान दिया है, किंतु कहानी के क्षेत्र में उनकी अपनी अनूठी शैली है। जीवन के प्रति अपनी मौलिक दृष्टि के कारण उनके कथानक पाठकों के मन में निरंतर एक जिज्ञासा उत्पन्न करते हैं। पाठक उनके चरित्रों में कभी स्वयं अपने आप को पाता है तो कभी अपने संबंधियों अथवा पड़ोसियों को। संभवतः एक कारण यह भी है कि उनकी कहानियाँ चर्चा का विषय बनकर पाठकों के मन पर स्थायी प्रभाव छोड़ती हैं।

Food, Economics, and Health

Alok Bhargava

Oxford University Press
2008
sidottu
Drawing on the author's extensive and varied research, this book provides readers with a firm grounding in the concepts and issues across several disciplines including economics, nutrition, psychology and public health in the hope of improving the design of food policies in the developed and developing world. Using longitudinal (panel) data from India, Bangladesh, Kenya, the Philippines, Vietnam, and Pakistan and extending the analytical framework used in economics and biomedical sciences to include multi-disciplinary analyses, Alok Bhargava shows how rigorous and thoughtful econometric and statistical analysis can improve our understanding of the relationships between a number of socioeconomic, nutritional, and behavioural variables on a number of issues like cognitive development in children and labour productivity in the developing world. These unique insights combined with a multi-disciplinary approach forge the way for a more refined and effective approach to food policy formation going forward. A chapter on the growing obesity epidemic is also included, highlighting the new set of problems facing not only developed but developing countries. The book also includes a glossary of technical terms to assist readers coming from a variety of disciplines.

Achieving Successful Business Outcomes

Achieving Successful Business Outcomes

Alok Sinha

CRC Press
2020
sidottu
Achieving Successful Business Outcomes: Driving High Performance & Effective Transformations in a Continuously Evolving Business Environment Navigating in space is exponentially more difficult than navigating on the road – because there are too many directions to investigate, too many unknowns to be prepared for and infinite pathways to chart in the galactic system. So it is with business. Business environments are extremely demanding and change continuously, precipitated by innumerable actors and conditions. Business success cannot be predicated on the pedigree of a leader or a prescribed theory alone, as start-ups have amply proven. Large companies have tried to copy nimble-footed start-ups while start-ups, after achieving a certain size, have been forced to adapt to unchartered territory. Disruptions seems to be the order of the day.This book is about achieving successful business outcomes. An aircraft has a complex dashboard of dials, where only a critical few need to be monitored continuously, and other subsets warrant attention only during specific phases of the flight. A well-modeled business can be managed successfully using a similar strategy. But the larger question is how to model a business, with closely correlated variables, to represent the reality of the environment and to allow for devising, formulating and adjusting business strategy and actions in real-time.The author uses a simple but well-researched STA-Triangle (space, time and action) model to achieve this purpose. The core of the STA model is to help navigate effectively in a rapidly changing business environment. Unlike traditional business studies that use a single lens to define business rules or organizational practices, it uses the combination of space, time and action as the driver of outcomes – something fundamental and core to human thinking across the ages. This book contains both theoretical and practical applications – the former helps propel further research and analysis and the latter helps practicing leaders confidently drive their firms forward in any environmental conditions. It will also help causal readers understand how the future is evolving and how different organizations are responding to this change. The author includes more than a hundred supporting examples and tools that help create highly incisive and unique views for calibrating strategy and execution.Visit the authors' website at www.alokksinha.com

Orwell and the Politics of Despair

Orwell and the Politics of Despair

Alok Rai

Cambridge University Press
1989
sidottu
Alok Rai recognises that George Orwell was both a political writer and a literary artist, and that any adequate study must do justice to both aspects of his work. Drawing on a wide range of Orwell's writing, including unpublished and previously unused material, Rai charts his progression from rebellion through reconciliation to despair. Making use of the insights of contemporary critical theory, he demystifies the idea of Orwell as a 'transparent' writer, simply concerned with basic human values, and by means of close reading relates the literary style to the political beliefs, asking how a writer who is from one perspective, a relatively minor talent, can come to occupy such a culturally central position. Rai's discussion reopens the question of the nature and necessity of Cold War attitudes and perceptions, and examines the ideological apparatus of the Cold War consensus, of which Orwell was an influential guarantor.

Vibration of Mechanical Systems

Vibration of Mechanical Systems

Alok Sinha

Cambridge University Press
2010
sidottu
This is a textbook for a first course in mechanical vibrations. There are many books in this area that try to include everything, thus they have become exhaustive compendiums, overwhelming for the undergraduate. In this book, all the basic concepts in mechanical vibrations are clearly identified and presented in a concise and simple manner with illustrative and practical examples. Vibration concepts include a review of selected topics in mechanics; a description of single-degree-of-freedom (SDOF) systems in terms of equivalent mass, equivalent stiffness, and equivalent damping; a unified treatment of various forced response problems (base excitation and rotating balance); an introduction to systems thinking, highlighting the fact that SDOF analysis is a building block for multi-degree-of-freedom (MDOF) and continuous system analyses via modal analysis; and a simple introduction to finite element analysis to connect continuous system and MDOF analyses. There are more than sixty exercise problems, and a complete solutions manual. The use of MATLAB® software is emphasized.
