Nothing comes easy in life You will be grinded and churned by all sort of struggles in your life before you shine. Just like A diamond which is a piece of coal that never gave up and handled the stress exceptionally well,This is a story of an ordinary boy with an extraordinary vision and who went through lot of pressures in life and finally one day he fulfilled his dream of becoming an IAS Officer.

This book tells us that anything can be achieved in life if you have that insight and strong determination. Hard work and Perseverance are always paid off though it may take some time.

Apart from this ,the book also depicts the rural India especially farmers life and their sufferings because of ignorance and lack of education. As a kid he author tried doing all kind of work with utmost dignity and dedication which a daily wagers will do just to earn a few penny for his family. As a reader one can feel the amount of hardship he went through from selling breads especially in cold winter without a proper cloth or shoe to plucking the cotton or working as sewage boys.

Still his love for books and his long sightedness to achieve something big was always there. He had a good habit of reading different kinds of books , books of great man , history, biographies which broadend his vision in long run. This book is an inspiration for many of us who have seen the real world at an early age and have tasted the bitter truth but have come out of it with a strong determination and will power to pursue their dreams Every day is a learning..

U learn each day and u never know one day u can apply the knowledge somewhere. Another aspect which Mr. Rajesh Patil has mentioned is that our society has many lacunaes , there is corruption everywhere ,if we start complaining its never ending so its better to build ourself so that we can bring a change to the society ,a small change can make a difference. Thats what the book teaches us First bring the change in yourself if u want to bring a change in the society.

Yes, Its very difficult to stay clean when all you have around you is dirt but its not impossible As a reader I enjoyed every bit of the book and I would recommend this book to all those who are aspiring to achieve big in life It was really remarkable how a poor boy from a village could make it to IAS.

But it could have been written in a more endearing manner. Though the first 15 to 20 pages were dragging, it was very much interesting towards the end. With some guidance from editors, the book could have been written in a heart touching manner. Prachi Chitare on 27 March Rajesh Patil Sir. If you will go through this book and alomg with this go through the Dr.

This book is available in ePub and PDF format with a single click unlimited download. Your email address will not be published. This is a true story. An untold one that played out in the district of Kozhikode when a young IAS officer took charge as the District Collector in Over the next two years, he led the district and transformed the very concept of public administration with the use of social media, public consultation, usage of technology, volunteerism, and public participation in governance.

It still is. The District Collector descended from the colonial ivory towers and mingled as one amongst the common man, totally dismantling the hierarchical stereotypes that the society was used to. This book traces the story of how exactly this happened and how and why the public responded so overwhelmingly to such an initiative. It also chronicles how these experiences transformed the young officer also — from a hesitant public speaker to a crowd-puller, from an introvert to a seemingly extrovert energetic leader.

For the first time, the emotional roller-coaster of events that re-shaped the attitude and language of engagement by District administration is narrated with all the inside-stories.

The current focus of the group is music, video, and entertainment experiences such as the StarVista cruises as the Time Life book division closed in Its products have been sold throughout North America, Europe, Australia, and Asia through television, print, retail, the Internet, telemarketing, and direct sales.

Current operations are focused in the US and Canada with limited retail distribution overseas. Time Life was founded in as the book marketing division of Time, Incorporated. It took its name from Time Inc. Starting in , Time Life combined its book offerings with music collections two to five records and packaged them as a sturdy box set. After Walter Wanger ‘s death in , its Time Life Films subsidiary also acquired his production company Walter Wanger Productions and many of its films.

Throughout the s and s, the selection of books, music and videos grew and diversified into more genres. When record labels were no longer producing vinyl albums in , Time Life transitioned to CD. This company was subsequently sold off and is no longer associated with Time Life. Direct Holdings Americas Inc. By onward, a disclaimer on the copyright stated that it is “not affiliated with Time Warner Inc.

In addition to the company’s film and music core activities, it was also the holding company of television and radio combo stations. As Time Life Books , the company gained fame as a seller of book series that would be mailed to households in monthly installments, operating as book sales clubs , and known as the direct-to-consumer business model. The original publisher, Jerome Hardy, declared early on that the publisher would succeed through a strategy to “give the customer more than he has any right to expect.

Another series of high regard covered nature and the sciences, as well as the history of world civilizations. The science books are interesting as ephemera of their time.

The content of these series was more or less encyclopedic, providing the basics of the subjects in the way it might be done in a lecture aimed at the general public. There was also a series on contemporary life in various countries of the world. Some other series are much less highly regarded, especially the later output as the publisher moved away from soberly presented science and history toward sensationalism, pop history, and DIY-themed books.

The books, whatever their quality, are easy to find at low prices on the used-book market, due to their being published in millions of copies.

Some of the items in this list may also be single books not in a series, but followed the same types of themes as the book series. Non-USA-specific topic series were habitually translated into other languages French being the most predominant, due to Time Life’s desire to have to bordering French-Canada served as well , and disseminated through local branches of Time-Life Books in the intended target markets. For some, usually smaller language areas, Time Life resorted sometimes to licensing out their publications to local publishers, as was for example the case with The Old West and The Enchanted World series.

However, not rarely were these translated versions truncated for various reasons. Of at least one book series is known that it was initiated by a local branch and not by the American mother company; the —89 book series Australians at War was initiated by Time-Life Books Australia for that country, and therefore relatively rare on American soil. Time Life no longer publishes books, as its book division, Time Life Books including its foreign subsidiaries , was closed in January Aside from the translations, the English-language versions of the Commonwealth-derived series were published by a variety of publishers for the different English-speaking territories with Time Life as the USA designated one.

These Time Life versions are far less common in the used-book markets than Time Life’s own proprietary releases. Time Life added music in , selling box sets and collections through Time—Life Records. During the s and s, the collections released by Time—Life Records catered to an adult audience, with genres including classical , jazz , swing and orchestral music; and the music of operas and Broadway theatre.

On occasion, Time Life offered popular music generally pre music, as opposed to pop and rock music airing on contemporary hit radio stations in the United States at the time in box-sets. Although there were television advertisements, Time Life advertised most of these sets in magazines, specialty catalogs and direct mail.

In the early s, Time Life began branching out, offering a series of albums focusing on country music. The first series was ‘s “Country Music,” with volumes focusing on a particular artist and featuring eight or nine tracks per album.

Twenty volumes were issued, with many of country’s greatest artists of the time Charley Pride was the first artist featured getting their own album. But until the mids, Time—Life did not feature a rock music-intensive series for customers, preferring to cater to older adults with conservative music tastes. Time Life’s first successful foray into rock music came in , with a series called “The Rock ‘n’ Roll Era. Each volume had 22 tracks, and was said to contain the original hit recording by the original artist although this wasn’t always true on early pressings of the early albums in the series.

The songs themselves represented the most important and popular songs from the period or subject featured. An essay published by Both Sides Now Publications noted that Time-Life’s move into rock music came at a time when much of the adult audience Time-Life catered to grew up during the rock-and-roll era and, as such, the new series was consistent with its goal of catering to an adult audience. This paved the way for more country and pop music-intensive series, including ” Country USA ,” ” Classic Rock ,” ” Sounds of the Seventies ,” “Sounds of the Eighties,” ” Your Hit Parade ” a series featuring popular music of the s through early s and ” Super Hits.

Like the earlier box-sets featuring other musical styles and genres, the country and pop music series were advertised in magazines, catalogs and direct mail.

By this time, some of these collections were advertised on television: either commercials or minute infomercials. The television advertisements used slogans e.

Key selling points of these collections are that each track was digitally transferred to the desired format using the original master recordings, as opposed to being “re-records”; and that the most popular and requested songs by customers could be found in a single collection as opposed to a customer having to purchase many albums to obtain just a few desired tracks.

Customers were given a choice of which format they wanted their box set: either vinyl albums through , 8-track or cassette tape , or compact disc ; today’s box sets are offered only as compact discs. While most of Time Life’s box-sets and releases were critically hailed, there were also some minor faults pointed out by critics. For instance, several early pressings of the early volumes in “The Rock’n’Roll Era” series contained stereo re-recordings of the original hits something that would be corrected on later pressings, either with the correct original recording or a replacement track.

Sometimes, the most popular songs of a given time period were omitted, frequently due to licensing issues. Through , several different series Time Life had offered were available on a subscription basis, either by calling a number or sending a completed postcard-sized card and payment to Time—Life.

Purportedly, the customer would get a specific volume as advertised on TV or in a magazine first, before receiving a new volume roughly every other month on the format of their choice ; customers and had the option of keeping just the volumes they wanted.

In time, each volume was also offered for individual sale. Several of the series — especially the pop, rock, country and rhythm and blues series — had retail versions for sale, released after the entire series was issued. Additionally, the “Classic Country” series had special track single-CD versions of several of its volumes issued for retail sale in addition to budget 3-CD sets.

Since its launch Saguaro Roads Records has had seven Grammy nominations. The following list shows many of the collections the company has released, but is by no means exhaustive. Time Life’s video business has been growing quickly since Starting with documentaries including Growing Up Wild and the re-release of World at War , the company has more recently branched into nostalgic television shows.

Time Life is able to leverage their music industry knowledge and contacts to release television shows previously held back because of expensive music rights clearances. Their collections are known for having extensive bonus features, liner notes and packaging. Television show releases from Time Life include: [9].
