Book Review| Nirbhaya & others Who Dared

I am not a big fan of non-fiction books. I prefer my reading to be my escape from the complications for the real world. nonetheless, there are times when a book comes by that can change your choices temporarily.

On the bookshelves where lay half-brained books like Half Girlfriend, there was a book that i just couldnt keep away from. Nirbhaya & Others who Dared is a breeze of cold air on a hot day that shakes you and sends a shiver down your spine. It is a revolution through reality that doesn't jar, but shows hope!

With stories that show you how trauma and violence doesn't ensure that a woman's life is ruined, this book resonated with every principle that i live with. it is fearless, just like it's name. In this  book, Nirbhaya lives! i know of rape victims who survived, molestation victims who succumbed to drugs and a wasted life, violence survivors who tasted success and women who have beaten every attack that has come their way. this book is a salute, a lesson and a reality to all those women!

Like all the other reviews I write, i will not give out much. But one thing that i am going to do is tell each woman to grab a copy and read, and tell every man to read so that he is shown the mirror to the harsh realities of his gender.

Enraged Again



A friend forwarded this news piece to me. So shaken am I after reading it that i cannot get myself out of this enraged feeling.

I know this has been spoken about tooo much by now. But what all Jyoti went through, our politicians should not be speaking about "understandable rape" or spiritual leaders shouldnt claim that it was her fault for not calling them bhaiya!

Read this. My hands are still trembling at the sheer inhumanity about things!
