The 4th August 2020 transformed the beautiful Beirut to a ghost town. The human race should not experience a disaster like experienced in Beirut ever. The book titled "PAIN: Explosion that ravaged Beirut" is written on this backdrop.

Though the fire, explosion, and the shock waves from the massive blast that ripped the port city Beirut in Lebanon is over; the trauma, mental shock, after effects, deaths, and injuries resulted from the blast are painfully alive. People are in shock. The investigation for the reasons for the blast must be underway but the first information that the genesis of the blast is from the stored 2750 tons of ammonium nitrate reminds a repeat of Texas incident on the 16th April 1947. The photographs of the Beirut blast area are scary.

This book is written to make everyone aware of the fertilizer Ammonium Nitrate (AN). This innocuous-looking inorganic salt contains an enormous amount of gaseous and heat energy in it. When initiated with electrical spark or fire it decomposes and explodes violently. The material is however very useful as fertilizer as well as for converting chemical energy into mechanical energy to do excavation in mines.

But as we grow chronologically, layers of impurities get settled over our pure hearts, and gradually these get spoiled. We do not take diligent care, the way we take care of our jewelry, to keep our hearts shining. We ignore the layers of dirt over it. A stage comes when the pure heart does not become visible and it is the dirt only that reflects from our personality. How can dirt reflect rays of shines? We should take care of our Golden Heart so that the Heart remains resplendent.

Economic Recovery post-covid19: a Layman’s Viewpoints : Dr. Manoj Kumar Patel : Economy and Economics: An economy encompasses all activity related to production, consumption, and trade of goods and services in an area. An economy applies to everyone from individuals to entities such as corporations and governments. A region's economy is connected with things like how many goods and services are produced and how much money people can spend on these things. The economy is measured by the Gross Domestic Product or GDP. When the GDP growth rate turns negative, the economy enters a recession. The most important part of the economy is consumer spending. So, as a rule of thumb, more the transactions and spending by the consumers better is the economy of that country. Thus money should be available in the hands of the consumers. The other three components are business expenditures, government spending, and net e...
