Subho Noboborsho! Wishing everyone a very happy Bengali New Year. I had a scrumptious home cooked meal today and spent a lot of time dusting and rearranging all the Bangla books on my shelf. Sharing with you all one of my favourite women-centric books in Bangla by Ashapurna Devi called "Prothom Protishruti" (The First Promise). The first of a trilogy, this book is a gift to Bengali literature, telling tales of women through three generations and how time and society affects their lives. It is time I revisit this book and realise how ahead of her time Ashapurna Devi was. Question : Name one writer you thought had more progressive thoughts and ideas than their peers. Although I didn't get time to join @sant.reads #litwithregionallit but here goes a recommendation for her commendable initiative.
#ourdaughtersdaughterssociety Although a little late but I have discovered this amazing forum on bookstagram where unusually insightful topics related to feminism are discussed on #feministfriday . This week's topic is Women and Witchcraft. The patriarchal society has always shunned, called out and tried to demolish powerful women. Women who challenge the status quo. And innumerable times, these women have been portrayed as witches, who would snatch away young men's souls and kill little babies. However, in modern times this witch has evolved to whore. When in medieval times, young women reaching the epitome of power would be questioned on their means of having reached their position, blaming it all on voodoo or dark magic; in the recent times, such power is considered synonymous with the young woman's capability to seduce the men who must have helped her reach that position. Funny how it is assumed that women always rely on anything but their own abilities to become successful. Question : Do you think that all that you have achieved, so far in your life, is because of some external force?
Something terrible happened to me. I lost about 100 of my posts saved as drafts on IG for future use. I have been in a really bad mood ever since and have lost all inspiration to post. 😖 Has this happened to you? In other news, I have been meaning to share with you this book that I have been reading, Conspirator by RV Raman that was sent to me by @hachette_india Book Blurb: When headlines are for hire, greed is inevitable. So is murder. – A YOUNG REPORTER dies a dramatic death. – A VETERAN JOURNALIST investigating paid news is murdered in his hotel room – A BUSINESS TYCOON tries to seize control of a large media group In the midst of a private party hosted by a media mogul in Coorg, murder strikes, sending shockwaves through its influential guests. Revealing a world where ethics are scarce and lucre is abundant, Conspirator weaves a thrilling tale about how the people who uncover others' secrets often have the most to hide. Conspirator is the fourth novel in RV Raman’s corporate thriller series that explores white-collar crime in India.
I am writing this post to tell you guys about this BRILLIANT thriller I have come across called "Hush A Bye Baby" written by @dpanjana and readily available on @juggernaut.in app. Imagine this eminent feminist you know who not only preaches about women empowerment through media but also does immense philanthropic work for the underprivileged girl child. What happens when this same woman gets arrested for illegal abortion of female fetuses? Would you believe that this otherwise epitome of kindness kills unborn babies like a cold-blooded killer? You have to read this piece of awesomeness. Published on a weekly basis, the serialisation concept by @juggernaut.in makes it even more addictive and I am on the edge here waiting for the next episode. Go download the app and start reading and let me know what you think. Question : Do you think you will love it if crime thrillers were published one chapter at a time on a weekly or monthly basis? I, for one, would definitely find the thrill and suspense edgy.
Thanos' Steak 😶 The moment I entered this god-so-awesome cafe themed on some famous characters from DC and Marvel comics, I knew I would fall in love. Deviating from the bookish pictures to post this massive steak I devoured with little help. Comment with your favourite food emoji if you would love to see me post food related pictures every now and then.
A huge thanks to @bloomsburyindia for sending this gorgeous new white edition of Norse Mythology by @neilhimself which not only enthralls me but forced me to dig deep and read many reference texts related to it. Neil's writing has a beautiful way of making you imagine things, see things that you normally wouldn't think of. He incites vision and rediscovers unusualness in the most exciting ways. Question : Favourite character from Norse Mythology? Mine has got to be Loki. 😁 Full review will be soon uploaded on my blog.
