Me thinks

As a woman since the time I can remember I have always witnessed eve teasing and molestation throughout my growing up years both in school and college. All this took a very different form in the corporate world not to forget the increase in the rape cases around the country.

Every day as I read about them in the newspaper I feel scared though I am black belt in self defense but somehow it all feels inadequate suddenly.

The moment I saw this book it reminded me of the times when I had learnt such tricks that would help me safe guard myself whenever need be. The beauty of this book is its simplicity and the photographs which help you understand the positions and actions that need to be taken.

An out and out informative book completely and a must read for every woman in today’s times to keep herself updated about all that she needs to know and not know too!

Book Review: Desiccated Land by David Lepeska

  ISBN: 978-9395481205  Genre: Non-fiction Publisher: Vishwakarma Publications  Bringing together his experiences as a journalist and a keen observer, David Lepeska writes a raw and gut-wrenching book on Kashmir. Part memoir, part travelogue, and part reportage, Desiccated Land is a page-turner.  The book starts by tracing the history of the region along with his own history, as a student who was dimly aware of the history of Kashmir and the turmoil it has been causing for centuries between India and Pakistan. Lepenska takes us to Nilamata Purana ( likely written in the 7th century ) which tells us the story leading to the birth of this region. He also shares an alternate possibility of the word being derived from a lake ‘Mira’ named after Vedic Sage Kashyapa.  His first visit to Kashmir closely followed by his second (and much longer) visit as a journalist working for the Kashmir Observer after the 9/11 attacks, make for an interesting read. Lepeska had questions, a lot of them. An

Louella is a Christian, Binaifer, a Parsi and Shalini, a Hindu. The novel’s main plotline surrounds Shalini who has fallen for an impetuous student activist, Bhagu.
