mineralogical composition, quality control, and reported experiences. It also
examines the provisions of national standards on the admixture’s addition to
cement and concrete. Offering a deeper understanding of mineral admixtures, it

(b) Blissful Souls All Of Us: Author: Dr Jayant D Bapat:
Publisher: CreateSpace, USA.
The Book is a
result of author's quest to remain happy forever. It focuses on
self-improvement through meditation. The real and original nature of self,
common to all human beings, is empathic, pure and joyful. However, that ‘self’
has deviated considerably from its original nature. Meditation is a time-tested
tool to reach the original nature of self. Like exercise is for the body,
meditation is for the mind. Practice controlled breathing or pranayam to assist
meditation. The book gives helpful tips to practice meditation for
self-improvement. Blissful experiences gained during meditation are useful
resolving conflicts, reducing stress, building durable personal relationships
and recording improved performance at the work. Meditation and controlled breathing
balance the intelligence. The exercise teaches to take a holistic view of life
and life’s problems. Book is available in both print and Kindle version. Visit
the link to buy/review the book.
