the inner Witch

                                         

                   Ever since, God has put the power to interlace wishful thinking with reality in my head. I have gone bonkers. Truly, I suffer from a disease  called Day Dreaming. This ailment is really  dangerous one.... No cure, no other way out to reduce it.... This has made me believe I am a Witch. But a good one of course....
                     Luckily no witch hunting takes place where I live. I do believe I am a witch to the extent that  I almost  bought spell books... The only reason no one will think I am one as, I know no spells, have no witch's kitchen, no broom, no hat, no long ugly nose or face. Neither do I live isolated in woods.Nor I am follower of Satan... I am plainly fascinated to the word witch. 
 Witches in ancient time were like the medicine man. No bad in intention. People always associated witches with witchcraft and black magic. But again the society was always under Man's sole, they might have hunted the so called witch who were independent in ideals, liberal in mind and were against conventions .  No one knows what was the truth...
 I have always idealized  a witch , she appears  a woman who represents  whole ideal of true WOMAN. She is alone, isolated yet feared, she stays single and is unapologetic to any deed of her. She cares no society, no bondage, no authority: - She is a Free and Ideal Modern woman.
                          So I feel the urge to be a modern  Witch, not wicked but of course standing to my Ideals. There is inner witch in each and everyone of us. The  Path we choose makes what we are not what the world brands us with... Relations make us woman, Education makes us respected , Standing up for what we believe makes us Followed. All three together makes us a WITCH.
                I have my respect to every witch in this world who was hunted, who were and are fighting for Rights, who are raising kids alone, who are single yet happy,..  The inner Witch in me has motivated me to go forth and speak what I want. I fear no one ( a little lie).  WE have to free the trapped witches  in our hearts..... and say better a Witch then being Which One on  man's lips.................

P.S :- Yes someone was right, in that huge old tree it was I who was trapped not the wizard, but the                              
      Witch

thanking you to bear with me

Book Review: When The River Sleeps by Easterine Kire.

Book Review: When The River Sleeps by Easterine Kire. Quote: Perhaps the answer lay not in striving but in being. In simply accepting that the loneliness would never be eliminated fully, but that one could deal with it by learning to treat it like a companion and no longer an adversary. Ville a hunter wakes up from a dream, ventures out to search for the heart-stone; that holds the power of the river that's asleep. And this stone is guarded by wailing-angry-widow-spirits. Many attempts have been made at magical realism in Indian English writing, and I didn't like them. My personal opinion is that magical realism needs a deep connection with nature, maybe never explicitly explored in the text, but the traces of that connection always shows in the words written. And I have always argued that North East India is the most fertile ground to plant the seeds of magical realism in. Easterine Kire, pens our deep connection with nature for the national readership to gawk...

Webcomic Review: Fools by Yeongha and Bagdam Quote: If this were a relationship between a male and a female, wouldn't it be safe to assume that we were 100% attracted to each other? But because I'm a male and just an underclassman, Eungi Hyung would never consider anything like that, would he? Fools is a Korean Webtoon written by Yeongha and adorably illustrated by Bagdam.

Book Review: Whom Can I Tell? How Can I Explain? By Saroj Pathak

Book Review: Whom Can I Tell? How Can I Explain? By Saroj Pathak Quote: But Poorbi was impatient. She was a woman alone, and men were never very trustworthy. If she could once and for all wear the wedding sari that would bind Sambal to her for good! She didn't care about caste or class. The trouble was that she had lost all joy in the red of wedding sari; there was no other reason why she felt h esitant. An anthology of twelve translated stories that Stree published almost two decades back. My interest grew in the book when one story, The Vow was selected for an upcoming Reader. But due to space and budget crunch, we had to drop it later. Originally written in Gujarati, Saroj Pathak remains one of the first Indian authors to delve into the psychological and social strains the men, the women and the society go through. From divorced women to unmarried women to women in an extramarital affair, all sorts of character from lower to upper-middle-class society get a glimpse. Sh...
