The Nights are Quiet in Tehran By Shida Bazyar Book Review and Critique
Book Review and Critique By Harsimran Kaur | Rating: 5/5 Can a revolution be melancholic? The heart that melts into the roots of disdain, dilapidation, and then we see a complex quandary of resistance. And why does the heart melt? It resigns to ‘love’, and if the lover that one does not see coming, and is still felt […]
Red Fire Blue Smoke By Haimanti Mitra Book Review
Book Review By Harsimran Kaur | Rating: 4/5 ‘Red Fire Blue Smoke’ is a collection of children’s short stories, full of adventure, certitude of spirit, a dogged courage to achieve the unachievable. The stories that they are, immersive and inspiring, expand magnanimously from the tiny village of Narang to Thekkady forest of Kerela spiralling magic around the […]
The Witch By Marie Ndiaye Book Review and Critique
Book Review and Critique By Harsimran Kaur | Rating: 4/5 Lucie is a witch. She wants her daughters to carry further such rehearsed consanguinity of witchcraft. She tries hard but to her chagrin, there is despondency to see her daughters learn in neglect such craft of witchery. She foresees a disdain, a distortion as her daughters becomes inaccessible […]
The Correspondent By Virginia Evans Book Review and Critique
Book Review and Critique By Harsimran Kaur | Rating: 5/5 Let’s talk a bit about old age; a deficit of youth in the otherwise progressive body. What would an old age be like? Repulsive tantrums; I see my parents decoding life at 75 as if they have been ultimate warriors, and now when they are perfectly aligned to […]
Exhibitionism or an Implied Prerogative?
By Harsimran Kaur Are you rich by right or poor by choice? It is a flavoured idea roused over time’s malleability, and then it turns out to be flawed because how we think is an imperfect crackling of characteristic ambiguity. And then we have destiny to fraught over, which is the lemon that must be […]
MY FUNERAL PYRE
The imperceptible dying of a woman By Harsimran Kaur The death of a woman is no different from a man; it comes to both without folly. It’s not prejudiced; neither does it vociferously march along holding a placard of who will be coveted first; a man or a woman. Neither does it slip in error; […]
Laws of Love and Logic By Debra Curtis Book Review and Critique
Book Review and Critique By Harsimran Kaur | Rating: 4/5 In the glimpses of such illusions that I often wander to, ‘love’ is an altruist. Isn’t there something comforting about it? It’s a bit quixotic at time, and in its melodramatic scalar, it carries the pleasure of allegories. I often think why ‘love’ is in despair, deranges, and […]
Reservation or Delimitation?
The women today feel mislead—I thus carry ‘reservations’ By Harsimran Kaur I, as a woman, today feel abandoned. I have merely become an incendiary issue of belonging & identity. Why I am bitterly roasted in the incumbency of incandescence politics, and then put to debate; an unruly polemic that has disgraced the entire validity of […]
A jury-rigged Ceasefire, the fragmented negotiations and a displaced power dynamic
By Harsimran Kaur There are three major problems insinuating the lofty war, which has gradually transitioned from the war of propaganda to dilettantes by Trump that stimulates Iran as a desperado. Now, that Iran has muscled catastrophic delights to protect its sovereignty, and through such eclosion, it is somewhat turning out to be triumphant, ‘power’ […]
