Like the life I am living is not what I dreamed of
But no one see me complaining.
Why!
You can never know the life you never had
And what you have is nothing like you had before
The guilt is there deep inside hidden
In the same chamber where a few months back
You have dug a grave to bury the future you so wanted.
———–being ungrateful.
Nothing losts for ever
I don’t believe it, i don’t
When you lose trust its
never coming back
It crumbles and sits in a place
where you cant reach
You can be assertive about it
Its never coming back
the shards of broken trust
piercing you soul
And the doubts stand guard
Where the last pieces lays,
it is fading
Is desmating into nothingness
And the time when you wont feel
When you wont care
When the guards are down
When nothings left to
No ones left.
Trust fades too.
Invisible women, Exposing Data Bias in a World Designed for Men is written by Caroline Criado Perez and is published on 7 March 2019.
Its a perfect book for feminists and people who think their is gender bias and for everyone who do not think the latter too.
From the first itself, it was captivating. It took around 2 months for me to finish it because I wanted to get all of it to be processed in my little brain. Finishing it in one go is not going to work anyway.
It is not similar to any book I have read, it is provided you the figures, numbers, percentages of every little detail, every sentence in the book is perfectly researched and written. At several places I felt furious for being the world this way as a gender-biased and when I say that I now have proof. Certainly, this book is both focusing on “How it should? “and “What is happening right now?”. At moments I wanted to throw the book away, to read the miserable and limited access women have and how we are not noticing is extremely irritating on some level.
The content as we see from the title is exactly what it is. From the early time onward as a species women were never allowed to come in limelight. It has become a need more than a want now for it to change. Like many of us, both the genders are not realizing how much of an effort woman put in daily to keep the wheels running. Even if we see it every time, we are not acknowledging anything and how much of the things we don’t know which is leading to women dying all around the world. Why is male species a default even if women were here from the first too?
Let it be research fields, politics, making of a car, or medical field which is not even considering women’s anatomy any different from men, which leads to cases where telling pains that women suffer are in their mind,” Seriously”!!! and getting diagnosed with literally deadly problems after 10 years. It is not stopping there though and for knowing that you have to read the book and I am not spoiling any of it.
Invisible Women is a book with which you can go anywhere and argue about women’s rights and you won’t fail. Everything is covered, cause it’s there….. all of it!!.
It’s a must-read, and everyone should read it. Must Must Must Read.
Peering out of the car window
To the nearest clock shop
Seeing all the time running parallel
All those moments
the tailoring shop adjacent
see the tailor working on a piece
There too I could see the time’s work on his face and fingers
Thuck thuck thuck…the sound of the machine
In the evening street light 126,125,124…
That’s time too ticking
Looking at that one almighty traffic post
The vigorous wooshing of vehicles on the other side…
All those reds blinding blinking sometimes blushing
waiting for that one green light
That moment of relief
Like a present,a gift at the end of a fugly day.
I know I am late to read this book but hey I read it …
It was an experience.
To be honest I have tried to read this book for a very long time, although as I have mentioned in my earlier blogs that each book chooses its time to be read and for me, Wild chose me right about 15 days ago.
The book was altogether an experience and throughout the book even I though man even I also want to do this, to the trail through PCT which I have not heard about before. And meet new people and experience it all but who am I kidding right. For sure I am not that person but still, I got a chance to go with Cheryl on her trip of finding herself. On many places in the book, I could relate to her story and I got a lot of validations for some of my guilt trips through this book.
I also liked the systematic way of doing things throughout the trail even however we know it’s all in chaos and as a reader, this gave you calmness and got you to move forward each page as Cheryl also tries to move forward in the journey.
It is a beautifully written book with pauses between major events with minor jolly things to get the readers grip.After all, I too had the trip of my life with this book so far. We could feel the pain and heartbreak as well as the emotion coursing through her, the relief in reaching each destination, the frustration, irritation and mostly the calmness of being alone and all the other feelings.
After all, at least for some time I also fancied the idea of going on backpacking with all your belongings in just in a bag. Maybe I will have the guts one day. A must read if you like travelling and it will give you a clear and general idea from start to end of how difficult bag packing can be from the perspective of a bag packer.
Each and every character in this book feels so alive with flesh and blood. Mainly we can also see her as a single woman conquering, rationalizing and deciding each and everything which is very impressive. She is an inspiration to me and a lot of people i am sure.
PS:I did not see the movie yet.
And have a great life…
