Seminar on Women Empowerment..........REALLY?

NOTE:- This article is my personal experience about a seminar on “Women Empowerment”. In this article , I have mentioned names of only those , whose names are deserved to be taken . What is the point of such seminars ? Why are these type of programmes organised ?  I am really confused whether this seminar was to support women or to suppress them . Many of the dignitaries spoke about progress of women like how many of them have taken admission in various fields etc . Everything was going very smoothly , but as soon as my senior  Ms.Bhumi Joshi showed them the reality , it  fell like an axe on their frozen heart . Suddenly the whole scenario changed . Our honourable vice-chancellor showed us the map of behaviour , with reference to The Ramayana . I guess he must have forgotten that this is 21 st century . Things have changed now . I have always heard people saying that education makes a person rational , practical and broad-minded . I don’t think its always...

Book Review: BEAUTIFUL CHAOS by Robert.M.Drake

Book Review: BEAUTIFUL CHAOS by Robert.M.Drake I had only found out about Robert.M.Drake by accidently visiting his Instagram page. Then I found out that he had written many books and decided to grab at least one of his books. And got BEAUTIFUL CHAOS. The title itself is so beautiful. Robert.M.Drake is a self-published writer. He is from Miami. He became popular not through the publicity of big publishing house but through social media. He has a huge fan following on Instagram , Facebook and Twitter. This book in particular is a beautiful collection of poems and thoughts. It draws you into his mentality and makes you never want to leave. He writes of love and life so passionately,as if the emotion and experience are sacred things to be treasured at all times. It is quite short I finished reading it in one sitting, but left a huge impression. I think , people can relate themselves with it. The way he plays with words is just amazing. In one word I can say this book is so...
