After graduating from the Indiana University School of Business in 1980, he moved to the Chicago area where he began a career as a human resource professional, married his wife in 1988, and had two children. In 1993, the family moved to the Atlanta area where Duane became a devout Christian before his wife filed for divorce in 1996 setting Duane on an emotional, intellectual, and spiritual course that would lead to the writing of his book. In 1997, Duane began his career as a pupil transportation professional, starting as a school bus driver and working his way up to supervisor, and spent his free time composing his book in his mind.

Shades of Life: Sublime Joy is in Living by Dr. Mohammad Akmal and Vasundhara Raghavan Fifteen-year-old Aditya was like any other teenager—busy in school, horsing around with a brother at home, pushing things around in the kitchen to try out daring recipes of his own, cheering lustily at games of cricket and, generally, being boisterous. His parents had begun to wonder whether he’d ever take life seriously. Would he toughen up to withstand the pressures of the outside world? In the winter of 1996, life suddenly got more serious than anyone had wanted. One day, his mother, Vasundhara, took him to see a doctor for a headache that refused to go away despite over-the-counter pain relievers. The ensuing prognosis revealed that Aditya’s kidneys were headed towards complete failure. In this heart-wrenching account, Vasundhara Ramanujan shares more than that worst nightmare of all—a child being afflicted with a life-threatening condition—she relates a story of instinctive courage. She narrates how her family, instead of letting their circumstances devastate them, summoned every emotional and psychological resource to provide a young boy, and themselves, with hope. In their quest for the best cures available, they were guided by many well-wishers, one of them being Dr Mohammad Akmal, who lent his medical expertise to authenticate the treatments outlined in the book. The ultimate purpose of Shades of Life is to prepare others to meet such exigencies of renal failure, and to help them find a life-saving solution. Vasundhara Raghavan retired as general secretary of Mumbai-based Media Research Users Council. She and her husband Srinivas live in Dubai. They have two sons. You can contact the author at v.ramanujan@yahoo.com Dr. Mohammad Akmal is a professor of medicine at the USC Keck School of Medicine and has directed its dialysis programme for more than twenty-five years One of USC’s reputed and experienced nephrologists, Dr Mohammad Akmal influenced Aditya positively while he pursued his post-doctorate programme in the United States. The doctor’s unique approach to treatments and sharing medical information benefited Aditya in managing his health better. Akmal’s greatest attribute is his humaneness. His kindness and warm-heartedness endear him to his patients and associates. https://www.amazon.com/Shades-Life-Sublime-Joy-Living/dp/1643243039/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&dib_tag=se&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.ly_7MD8hBTaW8AdeVia0Vlbs0_aNvrNUDG5Tdr-2kDPxW4GSIFk3mqk5COUXSyThrCSflqsN2dXrTQ2S54uhRA.oK6aiIfToNyu63n3adimDd4jmkMWBt1OKQoz0tGH1Yg&qid=1715716334&sr=1-4 https://shadesoflife.org/home.htm http://www.PageTurner.us http://www.bluefunkbroadcasting.com/root/twia/6624drapt.mp3

Eight Fought to Live: The Story of My AIDS Therapy Group, 1988-1990 by Florence Rosiello, PhD 1988: 82,362 gay and bisexual men had AIDS. 1989: 100,000 gay and bisexual men had AIDS. 1990: 307,000 gay and bisexual men had AIDS. These are the two years Dr. Rosiello led an AIDS therapy group at Gay Men’s Health Crisis in New York City. Within two years each man in her group passed away from AIDS complications. One of these men was Vito Russo, an AIDS activist and historian. This is the story of eight gay men living with advanced AIDS and one inexperienced fresh out of training psychoanalyst. Each man's intimate story is peppered with Dr. Rosiello's anxiety and her growing awareness regarding the importance of emotional authenticity in psychotherapy. The group members had no spare moments for Dr. Rosiello to use her newly learned psychoanalytic techniques. There was only time to be real. Early on these group members pledged to not die. They pledged emotional support for the life of the group. This pledge held true for over a year. Blood brothers in their fight to live. Florence Rosiello, PhD opened her private practice in New York City, in 1988. In 2008, she relocated her private practice to Sedona, Arizona. Her first book, Deepening Intimacy in Psychotherapy, was published in 2000, Jason Aronson, Pub.
