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
From the creator of the popular website Ask a Manager and New York’s work-advice columnist comes a witty, practical guide to 200 difficult professional conversations—featuring all-new advice! There’s a reason Alison Green has been called “the Dear Abby of the work world.” Ten years as a workplace-advice columnist have taught her that people avoid awkward conversations in the office because they simply don’t know what to say. Thankfully, Green does—and in this incredibly helpful book, she tackles the tough discussions you may need to have during your career. You’ll learn what to say when • coworkers push their work on you—then take credit for it • you accidentally trash-talk someone in an email then hit “reply all” • you’re being micromanaged—or not being managed at all • you catch a colleague in a lie • your boss seems unhappy with your work • your cubemate’s loud speakerphone is making you homicidal • you got drunk at the holiday party Praise for Ask a Manager “A must-read for anyone who works . . . [Alison Green’s] advice boils down to the idea that you should be professional (even when others are not) and that communicating in a straightforward manner with candor and kindness will get you far, no matter where you work.”—Booklist (starred review) “The author’s friendly, warm, no-nonsense writing is a pleasure to read, and her advice can be widely applied to relationships in all areas of readers’ lives. Ideal for anyone new to the job market or new to management, or anyone hoping to improve their work experience.”—Library Journal (starred review) “I am a huge fan of Alison Green’s Ask a Manager column. This book is even better. It teaches us how to deal with many of the most vexing big and little problems in our workplaces—and to do so with grace, confidence, and a sense of humor.”—Robert Sutton, Stanford professor and author of The No Asshole Rule and The Asshole Survival Guide “Ask a Manager is the ultimate playbook for navigating the traditional workforce in a diplomatic but firm way.”—Erin Lowry, author of Broke Millennial: Stop Scraping By and Get Your Financial Life Together

Pages : 0
Book Description
Ever wondered why your grandmother threw a teabag into the pressure cooker while boiling chickpeas, or why she measured using the knuckle of her index finger? Why does a counter-intuitive pinch of salt make your kheer more intensely flavourful? What is the Maillard reaction and what does it have to do with fenugreek? What does your high-school chemistry knowledge, or what you remember of it, have to do with perfectly browning your onions? Masala Lab by Krish Ashok is a science nerd's exploration of Indian cooking with the ultimate aim of making the reader a better cook and turning the kitchen into a joyful, creative playground for culinary experimentation. Just like memorizing an equation might have helped you pass an exam but not become a chemist, following a recipe without knowing its rationale can be a sub-optimal way of learning how to cook. Exhaustively tested and researched, and with a curious and engaging approach to food, Krish Ashok puts together the one book the Indian kitchen definitely needs, proving along the way that your grandmother was right all along.
