Pinky Aunty's Gym for the Soul
Author: Saheba Atal
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 156
Book Description
Pinky aunty is not one person or one character, I have put together the term 'Pinky Aunty's to describe the culmination of segments of a woman's life. The book talks about a woman's childhood, her youth, her maturity, the rage, the evolution a woman goes through and 'pinky aunty' refers to a form every woman surfaces to, after all her drama, giggles, struggles, battles and conquests are put behind her. The following poems are a beautiful scatter of a woman's experiences and her untold emotions. You might relate to all poems or some poems. But you will feel a close connection to the pinks and punks of your life. It's a composition about women and their lives only to acknowledge and celebrate them. Sending you bronze love covered with drama, laughter, glory, joy, empathy, strategy, coy, tears, lust, essentially the courage and light from the lives of the so called second sex or the brown goddesses. I have dyed women in a clichéd colour, which is pink, hence every woman has elements of pink in her persona, she emerges in different shades of pink. Baby pink, hot pink, plain pink, pastel pink and many other pinks, hence let's call her Pinky Aunty. In this book, we are purely speaking about the emotional twirls of a woman, her battles to stay sane, her sliced methods to handle changes in her life and we are connoting her with different shades of life. These are intercepts that are taken from the varied incidents that occur in a woman's life in terms of her relationships, responsibilities and the emotional swirl that follows. It must be an intrigue to notice that we have so much to express when it comes to women.This book of poetry is not a beyond reality book. A woman is naughty, she is flamboyant and promiscuous. She is talking about her infidelity, let alone accepting it. She is not interested in being an idol, she is interested in breaking a few ideal images. She is funny and sad, all at the same moment, yet can laugh her way out on her high heels with a voluptuous ass. It's a screening of reality of women in many large segments of our society. Sometimes what is happening in front of us carries a lot of shame to be showcased to an audience.Yes! we have uplifted our women tremendously over the past three decades but there is still a huge pile of work to be done there. Our women have become stronger, fierce, rebellious, courageous and also more demanding. Essentially women have become masters of coping mechanisms in their situations and circumstances.The real emotional elements in the book which will instantly identify with the semi-modern women of India will prove to be its unique selling point. We have always been ceasing to talk about our feelings, because we feel ashamed of embarrassed to address our weaknesses. But this book is about how women over the years have used their energies to combat their personal and social struggles.

Book Description
Do you sometimes feel that no matter how much wealth you accumulate, toys you own, friendships you make or physical and mental mountains you conquer, you're still at the end of the day unfulfilled - with a gnawing deep down inside that something is "still missing" or that you're meant for something greater than what you're doing right now? You're not alone. That loss of direction, purpose and deep, fulfilling meaning is absent in the lives of some of the most successful or fit people you'll ever meet.Over the past several years, as Ben has repeatedly witnessed in both himself and others the ultimate unfulfillment of a sole focus upon carnal, fleshly pursuits, and as he's observed great thinkers and philosophers while continually seeking wisdom, he's become increasingly convinced that caring for one's spirit is as important-no, actually far more important-than caring for one's body and brain. But after your muscles have atrophied, your skin has sagged, your brain has degraded and accumulated with plaque, your blood vessels have become clogged, and your nerves have become weakened-long after your relentless pursuit of fitness or health or longevity has become a vain effort-your spirit can be just as strong and as bright as ever. How about you? Have you gained the world yet left your soul behind? Do you feel like that most important part of you - your soul - is shrunken, neglected and unfit? Do you crave for more meaning, purpose and fulfillment in your life? Then this book - Fit Soul - was written exactly for you. Within the pages - written in a practical, easy-to-understand way with tips, tricks, strategies and solutions that will be simple to implement within your own life - you'll discover everything you need to know to care for your soul, attain true spiritual fitness, discover union with God and find the happiness you have always craved for and deserve.
