Soft cover. Condition: New. Lamps in the whirlpool is a story of the dilemma the modern Indian woman faces who she should be: a dutiful wife and mother, an obedient daughter-in-law or a woman with a life of dignity. The story is set in Delhi of the 1980s and Girija, the educated housewife, is forced to acknowledge the loveless e…mptiness of her life, burdened by the archaic Brahminical custom of Madi. For seventeen years, she has meekly accepted exploitation by orthodox matriarchy and typical patriarchy, until a visit to hardware and the river Ganges opens her eyes to the choice she must make between servitude to family or an Unfettered life and loss of access to her children. This story is considered the first feminist novel in Tamil. The author, Rajam Krishna, was the first Tamil woman to receive the Sahitya Akademi Award. Krishnan set a trend for women-centric novels in contemporary fiction in Tamil and deftly exposed the brittle bricks on which the much-glorified institution of family stands and how fragile the bonds of marriage can be. The story, thus, serves as beacon for the new woman, independent, self-reliant and strong, cutting across regions and class.

Soft cover. Condition: New. Kurinjithen, literally honey of the kurinji flower, is a timeless poem in prose that transports you to the lush Nilgiris where this beautiful blue flower grows wild and to the land of the Badagas who inhabit these hills. It is also Rajam Krishnan s eulogy to a vanished world and way of life. Once in t…welve years when the kurinji blooms in these hills, bees store the honey of the kurinji in combs in rock crevices and on branches of trees. When the Kurinji Blooms narrates the family saga of three generations of Badagas who have for long remained untouched by modernity. Then, as the winds of commerce and change invade their tranquil and sheltered lives, innocence and harmony are replaced by conflict and tragedy that herald new beginnings. The struggles and emotional turmoil of a close-knit people who live close to nature and their transition from a traditional way of life towards modernity are chronicled using the motif of the kurinji, which symbolises the passage of time. A poignant and compelling portrait of a unique community set against the breathtaking beauty of the Nilgiris, Krishnan captures the essence of the landscape and its people in vibrant and photographic detail, immersing us in the lifeworld of the Badagas, their culture and customs, their loves and fears, their hopes and aspirations, even as they negotiate change. Uma Narayanan and Prema Seetharam s masterful and sensitive translation of the acclaimed novel brings alive the many charms and rhythms of Badaga life, inviting us to rediscover the enduring magic of Krishnan s writing and the blue kurinji.

Condition: Sehr gut. Zustand: Sehr gut | Seiten: 194 | Sprache: Englisch | Produktart: Bücher | In the era of Information Technology, a large amount of data is getting generated to the digital world. The amount of data generated is expected to double every two years, from 2500 exabytes in 2012 to 40,000 exabytes in 2020. The exp…onential growth of data is now leading to the beginning of a revolution that will touch every aspect of human beings' life. Big Data is about analyzing large and complex data sets to learn new and previously unknown details. The "Big Data" is often referring to the huge amounts of digital information, companies and governments collect about human beings and our environment. Big Data is a collection of any data so large and complex that it surpasses the handling capacity of traditional data management systems and techniques.loud Computing with the ease of use and information stores supporting data variety and agility are essential to give the foundation to Big data handling. Given the volume and multifaceted nature of Big data, it is complex for most firms to get a solid handle on the substance of the majority of their information and to catch and verify it sufficiently. With the goal that classified or potentially private business and client information are irrelevant to unapproved parties. The expenses of an information protection break can be gigantic.
