Aren't we chubby, aren't we cute?Aren't we lovely, as sweet as fruit?Give us a bear hug, give us a kissRegret not later for giving it a miss.Don't go by these sweet words-for all little asura kids are naughty and troublesome and always up to something! Little will you know when you land in a muddy puddle or your long hair gets chopped off into a bob. They will prod, pull and tug you till you yell-just like the gods in the heavens, especially Vishnu and Shiva who are simply fed up!Indulge in some very, extremely, most funny naughty tales of asura twins Kundakka and Mandakka, who hate going to school; clumsy Bhasma and pet pig Nakura, who create trouble in the village; brothers Atapi and Vatapi, who like to eat ninety-six cartfuls of fruits as dessert; the great Bana who claps with his thousand hands and so many more!
Todos reaccionamos o actuamos de forma distinta frente a ciertas circunstancias cuando interactuamos con las personas; ello permite generar las impresiones que otros tienen acerca de nosotros. Esas virtudes o defectos nos delatan y muestran rasgos de nuestra personalidad que terminan definiendo quiénes somos y por qué tenemos más compatibilidad con unos que con otros. Hoy deseo mostrarte qué tipo de temperamento y personalidad domina tus emociones. ¿Estás listo para conocerla y como puedes enriquecerla? Alguna vez te has preguntado ¿por qué no eres tan creativo cómo otros?, o si eres creativo, ¿porque no eres detallista como otros?, o si eres muy flexible, ¿porque otras personas son más organizadas que tú? O si eres muy extrovertido, ¿porque hay otras personas que son más reflexivas? La respuesta es la siguiente, todos somos distintos y tenemos diferente temperamento y personalidad que provienen de una mezcla de genética que se da con nuestra formación temprana desde niños.
Sinceramente, ¿siempre pensamos lo que decimos? Honestamente no. Todas las personas tenemos momentos incongruentes donde nos desconocemos y nos desconocen los demás, esto es parte de la vida. Incluso hay personas que nos consideran ecuánimes y eso en general es cierto, pero la verdad es que cuando estamos en situaciones de vulnerabilidad cuando nos sentimos atacados perdemos el control de nuestras emociones y esto nos hace decir cosas que no reflejan lo que somos. Descontrol, desconcierto, desequilibrio, desorden, incomodidad, desajuste, enojo, etc., cuantas palabras para definir que perdimos la estabilidad emocional que los demás están acostumbrados a ver en nosotros y que no nos es posible mantener en momentos en los que se rebasan nuestros límites.

Meet the next big thing in the world of official Minecraft novels: zombies!
Looking after a little sibling can be a real headache . . . especially when they're a zombie trying to eat your brains!
Life is good for Bobbie in the sleepy village of Plaintown. Sure, her villager parents only ever say "Hrm," but you pick up the local language quickly. And maybe her little brother, Johnny, is always getting into trouble, but the village's iron golem is there to look out for him. And, yeah, things are too busy for exploring when you're the only one in town who ever takes their hands out of their sleeves. But maybe that's for the best. After all, there are things out there beyond the torchlight that are better handled by adventurers.
But one night, a stranger comes to Plaintown-and he's followed by a horde of ravenous zombies! Bobbie's village is overrun, and her world is turned upside down as her friends, family, and neighbors fall victim to the zombies' endless appetite.
Life is not so good for Ben, an adventurer with nothing left to his name but the armor on his back. When dawn's light shows him an abandoned village, he sees it as a chance to pick through the wreckage and get himself back on track. What he wasn't expecting to run into was a desperate girl with a baby zombie villager on a leash.
Bobbie and Johnny are the only ones left . . . and her brother's a lot greener and a lot bitier than he was last night. There's still some of Johnny rattling around the little zombie monster's mind; Bobbie just knows it. And Ben might know a way to bring him back.
As the two journey across the Overworld, dragging Johnny along (literally), they brave dangerous depths, terrifying mobs, and an expanding mystery. Was the zombie attack on Bobbie's village really just bad luck? Where did the rest of the zombies go? And how exactly do you take care of a little brother who can't stop trying to eat you?
Hold onto your brains-and your bows-and get ready to enter Minecraft: Zombies!
A humorous, heartfelt, and fashion-filled contemporary novel about Macy Weaver, a young girl struggling with how to be her true self and make a best friend. Perfect for fans of From the Desk of Zoe Washington and Stand Up, Yumi Chung.
Eleven-year-old Macy Weaver knows relationships are complicated. Fresh off her latest friendship breakup, she's spent most of her summer break on her own. So when Macy's mother decides to go back to college three states away, Macy jumps on the chance to move-anything for a fresh start.
But Macy's new home isn't exactly what she expected. Her mother's never around and her dad's always working. Lonelier than ever, Macy sets her sights on finding a new best friend. When she meets Brynn, who's smart and kind and already seems to have her whole life figured out-down to her future as a high fashion model-Macy knows she's it. The only problem is that Brynn already has a BFF and, as everyone knows, you can only have one.
Resorting to old habits, Macy turns one small lie into a whole new life-full of fantastic fashion and haute couture-but it isn't long before everything really falls apart. Ultimately, Macy must determine how to make things right and be true to herself-rather than chasing after the person she thinks she's supposed to be.
