In the tapestry of life, there are threads that shine brighter than the rest, weaving tales of inspiration and resilience. "From Dust to Diamond: Life of Kukki Mama" is a heartfelt tribute to a remarkable man, Pankaj Khurana, affectionately known as Kukki Mama, whose life journey was nothing short of a brilliant transformation from the ordinary to the extraordinary. Within the pages of this book, I invite you to embark on a poignant exploration of Kukki Mama's life—a narrative crafted with love, admiration, and profound respect. Kukki Mama was not just a man; he was a scientist with a passion for unravelling the mysteries of the universe. His love for science was rivalled only by his deep and abiding love for his wife, Deepa, a love that stood the test of time and trials, creating a foundation for a family filled with warmth and joy. As you delve into the chapters that unfold the canvas of Kukki Mama's existence, you will witness the beauty of his relationships, especially the bond he shared with his two children, Malvika and Kushagra. Their lives were enriched by a father whose guidance was as wise as it was compassionate, leaving an indelible mark on their characters. Kukki Mama was more than a man of intellect; he was a beacon of kindness, radiating warmth and compassion to everyone fortunate enough to know him. His laughter echoed in the hearts of those who had the privilege of being a part of his world. This book is an attempt to encapsulate the essence of a person who, like a diamond, shone brightly through the sands of life. Through anecdotes, memories, and personal reflections, "From Dust to Diamond" unveils the tapestry of Kukki Mama's life—a life lived with purpose, love, and an enduring spirit. This is not just a recounting of events but a celebration of a soul who left an indelible imprint on the hearts of those who had the privilege of sharing his journey. May this tribute stand as a testament to the brilliance that was Kukki Mama, a man who transformed the ordinary into the extraordinary and whose legacy continues to sparkle in the hearts of those who knew him. With deepest gratitude, Top of Form Yamini Malhotra

As in many other traditional cultures, Hawaiian art, dance, music and poetry were highly integrated into every aspect of life, to a degree far beyond that of industrial society. The poetry at the core of the Hula is extremely sophisticated. Typically a Hula song has several dimensions: mythological aspects, cultural implications, an ecological setting, and in many cases, (although Emerson is reluctant to acknowledge this) frank erotic imagery. The extensive footnotes and background information allow us an unprecedented look into these deeper layers. While Emerson's translations are not great poetry, they do serve as a literal English guide to the amazing Hawaiian lyrics.
