In the vast tapestry of the Ramayana, one figure speaks only a few lines—yet those words change the course of the war. Jambavan, the aged king of the bears, appears at first as a minor advisor in the search for Sita. But when Hanuman sits dejected, unaware of his own latent strength, it is Jambavan who reminds him of his divine purpose and boundless power. This book explores that single, pivotal scene with the reverence it deserves, drawing on Valmiki, Kamban, Tulsidas and other traditions...

Water water everywhere n**or any drop to drink Data data everywhere no time to stop and think! There is scarcely a role that does not require us to understand analyse and present data. Charts graphs and maps are everywhere. However many of these data visuals leave the viewer bewildered confused or (even worse) with an incorrect understanding of the data. In contrast if designed well data visualizations help us make sense of data and communicate our insights better. Bringi...
