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!

Books on Cinema

For a long time, cinema was a world I wasn’t allowed to enter. I grew up in a home where movies were banned. No television, no glimpses of silver screens, and no songs echoing from old classics. For nearly a decade, cinema was a forbidden word like a secret behind a closed door.  And yet, like all things that carry truth and longing, it found its way to me. Stories have a way of finding you, slipping through cracks, whispered between pages, caught in melodies. Sometimes through the corners of borrowed books, sometimes through whispered summaries from classmates, sometimes just through the magnetic pull of posters and songs I wasn’t supposed to hear.

His earlier books had shown that in spite of material and digital comforts in the world today, we are still living a life of dualities. Happiness-unhappiness, good-bad, God-devil, all exist side by side. Following spiritual teachings of gurus or masters do not give the much needed solace; there still seems to be something missing. The mind, with its constant chatter and habit of delving into past experiences and anxieties about the future, does not allow to live in the present moment and be aware in the 'now'. By the time our mind can register it, there is already a new 'now' which has taken its place. Here, the author has brought us into a deeper existence, where through experiential realiz...
