Days when I clean up really well 🙈 🇮🇳 . . . #sarees #sareelove #handloom #ilovehandloom #cottonsaree
#DiscoveringIndiaReadathon Announcement !! Hey you guys! As promised, we are back with the much loved readathon from last year, #discoveringindiareadathon . Paddy ( @thebookishtales ) , Akku ( @theblue_balloon ) and I had a blast last year hosting it and the discussions were oh-so-amazing. Controversial too! 😉 And, we are back with it this year including some minor changes. ~ With 5 different prompts, this time it's a 15 day readathon starting from the 1st of August to the 15th! Read according to the prompts and tag your pictures with the hashtag #discoveringindiareadathon . You don't really have to finish all the prompts. You can read as much as you can make time to. There is no such rule except that this readathon is dedicated to exploring Indian literature and discovering its gems and we hope help us fulfill that spirit. Psst- There might be a few giving away of books. So watch out! ~ You can check the hashtag too for further recommendations! If you have any questions, feel free to DM any of us. So get your books ready and start posting your TBR piles with the hashtag 😍❤️
Today I was humiliated by two men. One, virtually, humiliated me by saying I was privileged and didn't have a right to speak about feminism because I haven't had to struggle "enough" in my life. Me, with my "English medium educational background", haven't gained enough experience to talk about gender equality because apparently, women like me are much more privileged than men like him what with all the women tuition waivers and seat reservation in public transports. Two, physically humiliated me, by yelling at me in his loudest voice to shut up because I accused him of pushing me and my companion on the road to get ahead. I have tried to mull over my head over the reasons behind him shouting at me and I could only deduce one thing. He didn't think a woman should have raised her voice accusing him of something he thought wasn't a big deal like "shoving someone unnecessarily". He wasn't accustomed to a woman calling out his bullshit. So two men humiliated me today. One thought we (by we, I mean women) have it all and still cry for more and the other thought we do not deserve whatever basic rights we have today. What do they both have in common?
"Freedom is the right to tell people what they do not want to hear" ~George Orwell A very happy birthday to one of the most brilliant writers in the world. After reading Animal Farm I was left astounded at myself for not having read it sooner. Hence I started with 1984 during my Darjeeling trip. Question : Have you read anything by George Orwell? #unitedbookstagram
I know I have been MIA for too long now and I wish I could say I was on vacation or sick or give you any such plausible reason but the truth is I cannot. I didn't post cause I simply couldn't bring myself to. Hence I took the time off and decided to dedicate it completely to my work and I have no regrets about it. But now that I am back, let's talk some books, shall we? TBH I read next to nothing these past few weeks. I tried and I tried but I have been in a major slump where nothing I read seems to work any wonders for me so I have been juggling from one book to another. May be it is time to host a readathon to get back my reading mojo back, which effectively reminds me of something that I have been meaning to remind you guys of. Last year me and my two favourite people @thebookishtales and @theblue_balloon hosted a four day long #DiscoveringIndiaReadathon during the month of August and we plan to continue it this year. Expect a more fun and more engaging experience this year. For those of you who don't know about it, you can check out the posts under the hashtag and be prepared to get some kickass recommendations.
*READALONG UPDATE & GIVEAWAY* . @hachette_india has organised a readalong of this brilliant literary piece by Anuradha Roy and I have already finished the first 15 chapters. . "In my childhood, I was known as the boy whose mother had run off with an Englishman" - so begins the story of Myshkin and his mother, Gayatri, who is driven to rebel against tradition and follow her artist's instinct for freedom. . QOTD : Women like Gayatri are meant to sing and dance but not for a limited audience, they are meant to nurture and grow but not within a congested household, they are meant to have an identity other than that of a housewife. Do we fail to recognise the Gayatris living among us, day in day out, losing their real identities amongst the confines of the multiple labels that have been slapped upon them? . Rules to enter the giveaway : - This giveaway ends on 13th June. - To be eligible participants need to answer the QOTD in the comments below and follow @hachette_india on Instagram. - Participants who comment on this post stand a chance to win special prizes from @hachette_india - Indian residents only and above 18 years of age. . The next Sunday discussion will be hosted by @rufusreads . Grab a copy and readalong with us.
