The last few days have been tumultuous for everyone in urban India. If you are a working professional, or have worked at some point in your life, or if you strongly believe in gender equality, it is hard to not get affected by the #Metoo movement. The #Metoo movement has taken off in India, like the metaphorical snowball. I too, like many of you, have been following closely, in shocked silence, as it has been unfolding. I can't tell you how happy I am that women in India, are standing up in solidarity, taking back their dignity.
Several powerful men have been named.The stories have come POURING out.
I shall not go into details of the men named or the incidents here, as it is all over the media.
When
something happens in your field of interest, it is natural that it
affects you more than the incidents that happen in other fields. For me,
what has been particularly disturbing was that the names from the field
of literature that were coming out as well.
Earlier, in press in…
Congrats on the new book..looking forward to grab the copy.. but as far as the video goes, too much of waiting needed to read the content and the reverse order of focus is a distraction

DeleteAgree with Reshmi. As I am half-way through, the text disappears. Nevertheless, awaiting eagerly! Why not put up more contests?
ReplyDeleteWill do!
DeleteAs far the category of genre my 'fanciful' author has chosen to brainstorm and reflect on, I'm curious to know what corners of life have been discussed, and how it will differ from the other versions of her composition (fiction genre). Although I must admit I'm fascinated and riveted to her fictitious approaches, I find them narrating life right to the marrow, this exclusive book is straightly a keenness, and if possible, I'm waiting with suspense to grab an autographed copy of the author, my inspirational 'Preeti Shenoy' Ma'am.

Thank you!
DeleteEagerly awaiting this book :-) Congrats for this new book :-) Coming to the video .. reverse order is difficult to get immediately ... and after all the words appear in the screen... within fraction of seconds it goes even before we read the full screen.I had to pause to read the screen fully. And yes too much waiting time in between. I loved the music in this:-)
ReplyDeleteThank you!! :)

ReplyDeleteThe sentences appearing in random order do not register immediately and disappear very quickly before i can appreciate the meaning. It would have been better if the sentences appeared slowly as complete sentences so that the meaning would actually dawn upon the person reading it. Anyways , eagerly waiting for the new book . I wonder what depth of relations have been touched upon in the new book. Waiting with a baited breath. Why not set up a pre book launch with flipkart or amazon ??
ReplyDeleteMy publishers will be doing that :)
DeleteThanks!
Waiting eagerly to grab a copy of the upcoming book. So far your works have never turned me down. Relationships being one of the integral part of our lives, definitely calls for a lot of unexplored questions and answers. The content look pretty interesting so far and it looks obvious that all of us can have a lot of take away from this book. Wishing you All the Best for the Book Launch!!!
ReplyDeleteKeep Writing!! Lots of Love!!
