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: The Tiny Wife by Andrew Kaufman and illustrated by Tom Percival

Book Review: The Tiny Wife by Andrew Kaufman and illustrated by Tom Percival Quote: The robbery was not without consequences. The consequences were the point of the robbery. It was never about money. The thief didn't even ask for any. That it happened in a bank was incidental. Can we take a moment and appreciate the cover! The only reason I picked this book from my friend Ashwin's bookshelf; the cover and the adorable illustrations inside. The Tiny Wife is a modern-day fable, it definitely is a weird and witty book! A perfect short distance read. It's the story of Stacey and David, Stacey gets robbed in a bank, where this flamboyant purple hatter robs an item of sentimental value from victims. David, Stacey's husband narrates the story, a smart narrative choice: a spectator and commentator. Each of the victims has their own 'shit' to deal with after the incident. Dawn's lion tattoo springs into life! Grace's husband turns...

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...

Book Review: The Missing Queen by Samhita Arni

Book Review: The Missing Queen by Samhita Arni Quote: Kaikeyi leans close to me. She reeks of tobacco. I can feel her hot, fetid breath on my skin. 'What's her story? That's a story that the loyal citizens of Ayodhya and your puppet newspaper may have trouble swallowing'. A nameless TV journalist, dares to do the impossible, on national television, she asks 'Where is Sita?' From then on the cat and mouse game of seeking the truth begins. Set in the city-state where Ram is the beloved king who is trying to bring Democracy. Ayodhya is an ever-growing kingdom that ate up Lanka's resources after defeating Ravan. In its omnivorous quest to be the shining example of development, many have been trampled. Our journalist keeps discovering secrets and ends up connecting dots to the other side of the story. From queen to princess she meets them all in her search for Sita. The book begins with Kaikeyi, within the first three pages I ...
