Welcome to my blog! This is where I write my thoughts on various issues such as meditation, books I have enjoyed, website development, being a mother and so on. If you are interested in a particular topic, then check the section under categories. I hope you will find something here that might interest you. So, sit back and read along.
I just couldn’t put down Snow Flower and the Secret Fan
Although the story is set in the nineteenth century China, it seems to be an in-depth inspection of the temperament of all women in general. I think I’m kind of like Lily and so, it was interesting for me to learn about her shortcomings. It led me to introspect. The history of nu shu (“women’s writing”) is enchanting.
I felt that Maya Angelou in “The Heart of a Woman
This is the first time I read about struggle against racism from an activist’s perspective. It’s fascinating. Also, it’s amusing to learn about the expectations of an African husband, Vusumji Make. It sounds same as Indian husbands especially during that era. It’s inconceivable to know that Dr. Angelou’s had to sit through the palaver to find out if she was right to leave her husband or not. Above all, her dynamic, enterprising and versatile personality has left in awe.
Following encouraging words from “The Secret Life of Bees
This is a very sweet story about a 14 year old Lily Owens. I admired the character of August Boatwright as she is intelligent and full of wisdom. Also, I learnt a lot about bees. While reading this novel I had a craving for honey. So, I recommend buying a bottle of honey before you start reading this novel.
I enjoyed reading “A Tree Grows in Brooklyn
The story demonstrates that with education we can conquer poverty. Education is a necessity to improve our standard of living. Education can give us wisdom that can empower our character. It’s a classic for all ages.
Two months ago I became a mother. It was the joyous event of my life. I didn’t know that I was capable of loving someone so much. My heart melts whenever I look at my son’s face. During this momentous period of my life it was enchanting to read “I Don’t Know How She Does It
I enjoyed the humor of Kate Reddy. There were so many times when I laughed aloud while reading. This book will be my gift to my friends who think that a full-time career will make them a fulfilled person and staying at home to look after the children is a waste. I feel that moms should work but not at the expense of neglecting children.
