 “Straight from the Heart : Thoughts and experiences of an HR professional” is a book by Rajeev Moothedath. As the author says diverse subjects that affect the HR professionals are discussed in the book. Sweeping issues under the carpet will not help in solving them. It is only after the first step of ‘acceptance’ happens, that we will be able to move forward. Time has come for HR professionals to stop treading the same beaten path. It is necessary to understand the needs of the internal customers, empathise with them and accept their inputs before embarking on solutions that are more suited to the local situations according to the author. These views of the author are conveyed in 33 brief articles under four sections : Direction and signposts, Leadership thoughts, Experiments in L and D, and Introspection and way forward.
What helps people cope with disaster? What aids in their recovery? What factors support capacity for individuals and communities to build positive futures ‘out of the ashes’?(Pulla, 2013).
In an era of economic rationalism and individualist political ideology, resilience has become the catchcry for the contemporary social work. The advanced capitalist system has brought seemingly endless challenges, a faster pace of life, displacement from familial structure and a globalised world where cultural boundaries have been transformed. In this globalised world the onus is on the individual to survive and to succeed. Coping and resilience have become the seminal concepts for social work in the quest for continuing work with people, groups and communities within a system that promotes personal responsibility and a reduced welfare state. Perspectives on Coping and Resilience is an inspirational text for social work as we endeavour to adapt to the challenges that contemporary life provides.  Author: Gijubhai Badheka (1885-1939) Publisher: Prakashan Samsthan, 1999 No. of pages book contains: 87 Price of the book: Rs.100.00 Divaswapna is a story, written by Gujarat’s famous educationist and teacher, Gijubhai Badheka (1885-1939). The same year, Kashinath Trivedi, the well-known educationist of Madhya Pradesh, took the initiative to publish Divaswapna in Hindi. Trivediji had learnt from Gandhi that right action requires untiring patience for its success. His dream of seeing Gijubhai’s writings on education widely disseminated has come a little closer to fulfillment today. But the dream of bringing about a change in education can materialize only after a prolonged struggle along the line in which Gandhi, Tagore, and Gijubhai had moved. The educational theory propounded by all three of them emphasizes the child’s need for an atmosphere of independence and self-reliance. Gijubhai gave ’this idea an institutional basis by establishing his Bal Mandir in 1920, and in his writings he identified the different facets of the idea.
