We should all be feminists- Book review

Image
We should all be feminists Chimamanda ngozi adichie Genre- essay, biography #Feminist  - A person who believes in the social, political and economic equality of the sexes. #Feminism  is a taboo in our society. It has become such a small and filthy thing to announce yourself as a feminist. The concept itself is losing its meaning. #chimamandangoziadichie  , with this book "We should all be feminists" establishes the lost and devoured meaning of feminism with its actual essence. Every person should read this book to understand the core meaning of feminism and it's importance. It's subtly explained how we forget and accept things instead of changing them. Every girl, once in her lifetime must have been oppressed, for sure. We don't realise it as oppression because we are used to it. Now is the time to realise and take a step forward. This book has inspired me to step forward and stand for myself. I hope it helps every woman and man to realise the unrecognised...

Blog Writing- Book Review

Image
Blog Writing- Marvin Ford A randomly picked book with an attractive title. Better content found in web than in this book. Could hardly find any new ways to develop your blog. All the info about how to write your blog is taken and dumped at one place. Should have researched properly to have given basic understanding to the beginners.

Who to vote this elections?

Who to vote this elections? Is this your first time casting a vote? Mine too!! So I did my research about elections, parties, who to vote, what’s the procedure, etc etc. I thought a small blog would help you understand whatever I’ve learned so far. So here we go!!!  Firstly, As a civil services aspirant, I’ve been in touch with national politics for over 7 years now. The time since congress was in rule, when bjp swept majority and now, it’s a hell of a journey! So I wish to help avoid the mistakes and remove the misconceptions before we cast our votes tomorrow! Let us understand basics of parliament. Parliament consists of loksabha, Rajya sabha and the president. We shall discuss Rajya sabha and president later. Tomorrow we are going to have Lok sabha elections in our constituency. A state is divided into multiple constituencies for the convenience of voting. Different states have different number of constituencies. Each constituency will be represented by an MP who...

Trying some poetry

Image
1) Crush me and take me inside, For your halo to hover around my outside. Protect me with your arms spread out wide, For our hearts are forever tied. 2) My body doesn't work, not a cell. Doesn't it ring a bell? My heart aches to a boiling swell, Because you're holy unwell. I could suffer terrible Harm and yell, To get you out of this endless hell. 3) Life has taken a turn to sunlight, Where I believed I wouldn't let go off the darkness' sight. It all turned out to be a delight, After you became my knight. The feelings between us finally ignite, And we eternally unite. 4) My words topple over when I try writing a poem about you, just like my heart flutters when I look at you. 5)When you're my observer, I resurrect and grow, When you're not, I simply perish. 6) In the stream of a river called the universe, I'm a tiny pebble and you're the engulfing sand. Blessed I say to be engulfed in y...

My experience with the Art of Living

Image
Every fruit in the fruit basket tastes different. If you do not experience all the flavors, how can you choose your favorite fruit? You cannot leave trying a fruit, influenced by others' tastes and wishes. In the same way, I was one of many who judged spiritualism all my life, until I stumbled upon an opportunity to experience it myself. I have begun my spiritual journey on Feb 1, 2019, with so much reluctance. In respect to my idle days, I chose this path I am thankful for it. I want to share this today because there are so many people, teenagers, youth, parents, relatives, friends who do not know the importance of mental peace and make fun of these meditation start-ups. Mind peace can make you great, help you out of depression and negative emotions, help you succeed in any relationship, helps you carry a smile in every grave situation, gives you a clear mind and helps you love everything.  I have attended the Happiness Program of the great institution " The Art of Livi...

Bell Jar- Book Review

Image
Bell Jar Sylvia Plath Genre- Fictional Autobiography, psychological fiction, Roman à clef Reading about depression, melancholy and desolation over internet is one but unraveling about it in a book takes you on a different journey altogether i.e., We live through the pain of the narrator in every stage of his or her life. Sylvia Plath makes this book so relatable putting forth her experiences with social awkwardness, hopelessness and despondency . Every man jack has a psychological trauma, for it is extreme to his/her own level. Bell jar is about a college student Esther Greenwood who aspires to become a poet. She interns for a famous magazine during the summer in the New York City where she realises her societal inhibitions and distort. The ups and downs in her journey makes our heart leap forward and backward.  Though a controversial subjectwith disputed reviews, this book helps you perceive that the bright sunlight is in wait for yo...

The Awakening- Book Review

Image
The Awakening Kate Chopin Genre- Novella, literary fiction, Psychological fiction, feminist literature, Classic This is an uninhibited and beautifully written novella in 1899 about the women’s self-discovery- the awakening. This book talks about the spiritual, psychological, emotional and sexual awakening. Mrs Pontellier, a young married woman, though has so many social restrictions as a wife and the mother of two children, dreams to be independent. It is not that she was un happy with her husband. She didn’t love him the way she should have. Instead, She is in love with someone else. The story not only talks about the women’s passion but her struggle for independence from the curb of the society. It is a feminist novel, a daring one for that age. I personally enjoyed reading this book and the ending blew my mind. “An indescribable oppression, which seemed to generate in some unfamiliar part of her consciousness, filled her whole being with vague anguish.” “She had ap...
