One of my favorite songs is by Cher and it is called "If I Could Turn Back Time." Wow, does this hold true for me as I write this blog. Last week I was in a horrific near fatal car crash and broke my wrist, my C2 in my neck, and that is on top of the fractured shoulder and tore rotator cuff I am recovering from that I injured last June. For me, last Wednesday night, the night of the wreck, if only.... This brings me to this beautiful book of the day, "i wish i could" by sneha vishwakarma. This book is uplifting and came at the right time in my life and I know out of my 2.1 million readership, someone out there needs this book. Take a look.
1.chapter 1: the disparate world of women –the world we see, the world we desire, and the world we live in are three disparate places, and each breath of our life passes through each of these one by one.
2.chapter 2: all yours - depression, sadness, loneliness…and countless emotions. Why is it so difficult to move on?
3.chapter 3: can i live? – so you think living a woman’s life is difficult? this part of the book will tell you being born as female is even more difficult.
4.chapter 4: i wish i could - there could have been a better ending if at all this soulful relation deserved an end, is what bothers all the time. it gets hard for her to accept the fact that still, in the 20th century marriages are decided by caste and color.
5.chapter 5: being beautiful - it is said that beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder. does this mean that the more the number of eyes, the more the meanings of the word beauty? i debated this topic with myself throughout my life: does the word “beauty” connote a “perception” or a “feeling”? is it really something that depends on a person or is it merely a reaction to the action of seeing someone?
6.chapter 6: love = life – we were never told what love is and what it should be. we were always taught that love cannot exist by itself, that it must be associated with marriage and sex for it to survive. but that’s not the case….
7.chapter 7: magic has no color – she could have lived a normal life; she could have fulfilled her dream had she not been punished by society that too just on basis of misperception.
8.chapter 8: carrier to career – no company will knock on the door and hand over a joining letter, the mind and soul need to build the nerves of steel to find and survive a job in the corporate world.
9.chapter 9: 5+5=5? the need for equality is felt through the absence of it. this part of the book talks about the inequality a woman starts facing from an early age.
10.chapter 10: feel it to heal – the only required remedy to heal a wound is to know the wound. acceptance is the first step to heal anything in this world, be it our body, mind, or soul.
11. chapter 11: my makers – this slice talks about how the sacrifices made by our parents can be turned into a piece of learning.
enough is enough,
i will find love for myself,
let me create a 30-day plan
that, i cannot deter,
even if it goes rough
