"BEHIND THE SCENES" Thank you for joining us as we go behind the scenes of Fred's Diary 1981, with the Seventh edition of "Behind The Scenes". Robert Fear takes us on his journey, as he travels in Asia taking daily notes in a diary. This authentic look into his dairy has been extended by going behind the scenes with Robert as he reveals himself to us each week with an original inside look. This week Robert Reflects with "Heading North To Nepal" Heading north to Nepal After a couple of days in Agra, I have been travelling north towards Nepal. The robbery on the train from Delhi had shaken me up more than I thought at the time. I ended up buying a collection of gems as I was persuaded by some locals in Agra that it would be a good way to recoup my money. The idea is to sell them in Nepal for two or three times the price. We will see! History of The Taj Mahal Saw some of the sights while I was there, including the magnificent Taj Mahal and the Red Fort. The weather was extremely hot, almost unbearable. It is now a relief to be heading towards the cooler climes of Nepal. I have been doing a lot of thinking, especially critically of myself and my personality traits. It has dawned on me that I was totally unprepared for this part of my travels. Having had my expectations geared to South-East Asia and my ideas adjusted to accept that, I was within two days plunged into India and a completely different way of life. History Behind The Red Fort Whatever happens during the rest of my time here in India and Nepal, I don’t think that it will be quite the same Fred returning to Frankfurt that left in February. The journey north by train has been tiring but fascinating at the same time. Varanasi was the first stop-off after an overnight ride from Agra. On the train I found my berth fairly quickly. It was right on top of a three-tier bunk. The bed was basically a wooden board so after dusting it off I got out my towel to use as a blanket and used my bag as a pillow. After a night and day in Varanasi I then spent a fascinating night on the train with some fellow westerners. As we chugged along it felt as though we were riding along with Casey Jones, made especially realistic with the hooting of the steam whistle. Our compartment was only dimly lit, which made everything really mysterious. It got even more so when the Swiss guy produced a couple of joints of some great Afghan gear. Got off really well and the journey turned into a bit of a fairy tale as we headed off north. Am now staying overnight in a hotel called ‘Delicious’ with a Dutch guy called Allas. Earlier this evening he took me along to a tiny little temple tucked away at the corner of the square here in Birgunj. We spent time with the guru who lives there, along with some local men, smoking chillums. It was strange to see a group of men aged anywhere from 20 to 65+ all sitting around in this manner. In a different context I could only compare it with a night up the pub with the lads. Early tomorrow morning we will be heading to Kathmandu by bus. Who would have imagined at the start of this trip that I would now be in Nepal, soon to be arriving in its wonderful capital. Arriving in Kathmandu Our bus stopped many times at small settlements along the way and also for breaks at little street side stalls where Allas and I refreshed ourselves with tea. The journey started off with us riding over the flat plains as the sun rose and later winding up the switchback road heading into the hills. The views were fantastic as we drove higher and higher and saw the countryside in action. Nepal is a fertile country with skilled use of irrigation meaning that they are self-reliant for food and in fact export some surplus goods apparently. We eventually reached 8000 feet before starting to head downwards again into the valley of Kathmandu at 5000 feet above sea-level. The road was bad a lot of the way. It was built twenty years ago and has not been maintained very well. Some History of Kathmandu The weather changed drastically as we got higher and later on into the valley. There were a lot of clouds with some rain. The whole feeling was cool and overcast. This quite surprised me as I had expected sunshine and some warmer weather, but we were informed that the monsoon conditions have set in early this year. Arrived in Kathmandu exhausted. Took a taxi around a couple of hotels and guest houses to check prices. We eventually found somewhere a little way out of town which is quiet and simple, a guest house charging only R15 a night for a double room. Accepted the room and went inside to relax. I made a small joint of grass which was excellent and relaxed us both. We went out at 6 p.m. totally unprepared for what the evening had in store for us. Still stoned I floated into Kathmandu and we found a great little place where we sat down cross-legged at low tables.

How do you write a good first chapter to captivate agents and readers? Use this checklist to master your book's start.
They say that the study of science opens up a world of possibilities. I suppose that's true, but I have to admit I didn't enjoy my high school science class. The teacher was a sterotype: bowtie, pocket protector, thick glasses, eyebrows permanently singed from leaning over Bunsen burners. My lab partners were freaky. The girl on my left enjoyed dissection way too much and was prone to gleefully shouting out, “This frog’s guts look just like the inside of an eggroll!” The boy on my right kept stealing beakers and test tubes from the equipment locker because “my brother can use this stuff in his meth lab, man.” Halfway through the semester I dropped Science and started working in the school library during that period. Considering my teenage apathy for the subject, you may be surprised to learn that whenever I visit a used bookstore these days I invariably make a beeline for the science section. (And speaking of bees, did you know that scientists still don't know exactly how bumblebees are able to fly? No, I didn't learn that in biology class; I got that from the Robert Cormier novel THE BUMBLEBEE FLIES ANYWAY. Once again, literature trumps science.) The reason I rush to the science shelves is that I'm hoping to find a copy of this book: Most old science textbooks are virtually worthless, yet 1947's ATOMICS FOR THE MILLIONS is highly valued by children's book collectors. A true first edition (identified by its herringbone-patterned endpapers, price of $3.50 on both front and back flaps of the dustjacket, and notice on the copyright page stating “The quality of the materials used in the manufacture of this book is governed by continued postwar shortages") of ATOMICS FOR THE MILLIONS can be sold FOR THE THOUSANDS. I've seen copies priced as high as $1500. What makes this book so valuable? Is it because the lead author, Dr. Maxwell Leigh Eidenoff, was part of the Atomic Bomb Project at Columbia University and the University of Chicago? No, it has more to do with the fact that its co-author, Hyman Ruchlis, was a science teacher at Brooklyn’s Lafayette High School. While working on the book, Mr. Ruchlis asked one of his students at Lafayette High, a gifted young artist, if he would provide the illustrations for the volume. The student agreed to do the artwork in exchange for $100 and -- now here’s a kid after my own heart -- a passing grade in class. This kid also got his name on the title page: ATOMICS FOR THE MILLIONS was the first-ever book illustrated by Maurice Sendak. He was only nineteen when it was published and it would be another four years before he illustrated his first children's book, THE WONDERFUL FARM by Marcel Aymé. Since that time, of course, Maurice Sendak (WHERE THE WILD THINGS ARE; IN THE NIGHT KITCHEN) has become one of the premiere children's book creators of our time. Is it any wonder that so many book collectors want a copy of Mr. Sendak's very first published work...even though it is a science textbook? Here is his debut illustration from Chapter One of ATOMICS -- and chapter one of his career: Reportedly, Mr. Sendak wasn't happy with his illustrations for this volume (he later inscribed one copy of the book with the phrase, "My first + worst") and it clearly is the work of a young artist -- a little primitive, a little messy and unpolished, but also bursting with enthusiasm, talent, and unfettered creativity. It's fascinating to look at the wide array of illustration styles Maurice Sendak employed in these pages. In fact, it's easy to imagine the young artist going off in any number of career directions after finishing this book. He could have specialized in portraiture or caricature: He could have illustrated nonfiction and historical novels: (Incidentally, you can click on any of these pictures to supersize them.) He could have gotten into advertising illustration: (And what a far cry those bunnies are from the rabbit he later drew for Meindert DeJong's SHADRACH!) He could have illustrated funny middle-grade fiction: Or worked in comic books: This one looks like a panel from a newspaper comic strip: And of course he could have continued illustrating science and technical books: Or branched out into animation: ...But do you think that anyone looking at this illustration: would have predicted a career as a picture book illustrator? I'm not sure I would have. You'll recall that ATOMICS FOR THE MILLIONS started with a picture of a road. It ends with one as well. And, of the dozens and dozens of varied illustrations Sendak contributed to the book, I think that last picture is my favorite: Reminiscent of an editorial cartoon, the illustration depicts mankind at the crossroads after dropping the atomic bomb. But I read other significance into this picture as well. To me it symbolizes the young Maurice Sendak who has just spent the past two hundred and fify pages showing us the breadth and depth of his talent. Now he's at the crossroads, ready to start his career. Which direction will he go? Science books? Advertising? Comic strips? Editorial cartoons? He had a world of possibilities to choose from. How lucky we were that he ended up following the road that led to children's books.

Thomas Raher has written a very insightful book of Haikus, entitled, HAIKUS in the Time of Coronavirus About The Book: For Thomas Raher, 2020 started with a bang. The beginning of a new decade. Then the Coronavirus turned the world inside out. Using the standard haiku format, he noted everything as he sheltered and stared out the window. Raher utilized this strict structure to express his thoughts simply. Sheltering in place was a means to be creative. He captures the many aspects brought on by the virus. His chronology and metaphors illuminate the big picture affecting us all. Although the time frame was a mere three months, he manages to grasp the seismic shifts in society. This work can be read as staccato prose, or the poetry he intended. Also by the author: Letters from a Working Stiff (Lulu Press) Smiling Eyes: Memories of Youth (Lulu Press and Amazon) About The Author: Thomas Raher is retired. He was most severely influenced by the “Beats.” San Francisco, his home, has a significant role in the who and why of Himself. Although he completed a career as a public servant (transit operator), and helped raised three sons, his mind has always been “on the road.” He has two other publications: Letters from a Working Stiff (2013) - A composite of writings to family and friends reflecting on the challenges of raising a family, driving a bus, and maintaining an individual sense of identity. Smiling Eyes - Memories of Youth (2019) - Short stories of youth written to his dying mother.
