Difficult Women By Helen Lewis Book Review
Book Review By Harsimran Kaur | Rating: 4/5 I have hope. I have faith. I love and live. I am a woman!! But still I am considered to be difficult. Why?? Helen Lewis answers the imperative question with a cornucopia of thick-skinned feminist who dared to change the unblemished patriarchy and impregnable subservience. ‘Difficult women’ is about […]
DARKNESS
By Harsimran Kaur The womb; it’s dark, prevails the living in dimness the breathing, quickens and flutters perfect world it is; dulcet and dark anomaly, the fear is in propinquity of such black the conscious reckons decrepit it is, in the hollow grid epithet so dark the mind slayed, by the solipsism, so stark […]
An Unnecessary Woman By Rabih Alameddine Book Review
Book Review By Harsimran Kaur | Rating: 4/5 There is something persistent in life; in my life, your life that we live by innocuously, even if the invader that life is, sucks the fermented blood of the penetrating skin ridged in conceited folds of idiosyncratic reasoning and observation. To live on such persistency and these marked systemized […]
Chokher Bali By Rabindranath Tagore Book Review and Critique
Book Review and Critique By Harsimran Kaur | Rating: 5/5 Here, I would explicitly talk about the intentions of Asha, Mahendra, Binodini and Bihari—the four main characters in the book. The story is complex but there is a flamboyancy of characters, often indiscernible in their attempt to know each other, and in the course of their transitions, one […]
The Battle of Belonging By Shashi Tharoor Book Review
Book Review By Harsimran Kaur We live in a country that is entrapped in an idiosyncratic wheel of beliefs and ideologies.

The pride with which we march the caravan […]
The Sense of An Ending By Julian Barnes Book Review and Critique
Book Review and Critique By Harsimran Kaur | Rating: 4/5 The story of our life is ambushed by a beginning & an end and somewhere in the middle, new beginnings take structure. Their endings are often muted in the isolated departures and somewhere unknowingly, the beginning & ending convulse and it is at that very moment, something extra-ordinary […]
Whistler By Ann Patchett Book Review and Critique
Book Review and Critique By Harsimran Kaur | Rating: 4/5 ‘Whistler’ is the sub-conscious that meets you in the darkness, the blankness and in the absurdity of life when nothing makes sense. No doubt, there are triggers that awaken the sub-conscious and the unconscious to comprehend the dormant state of the continuity, when the idea to live; its […]
Born a Muslim By Ghazala Wahab Book Review
Book Review By Harsimran Kaur | Rating: 4/5 Who is a Muslim? For centuries, the question has created paradoxes and illegitimate perceptions camouflaging a Muslim with innumerable identities. To put it unpretentiously, a Muslim is a person who follows Islam, irrefutably following the holy book “Quran.” Doesn’t it sound familiar to how we describe a Hindu following […]
I Who Have Never Known Men By Jacqueline Harpman Book Review and Critique
Book Review and Critique By Harsimran Kaur | Rating: 5/5 The narrator along with 39 other women are imprisoned inside a bunker, oblivious to their reason for captivity. She is twelve years old.
