Revolving around the life of a distressed woman, namely ‘Ram Asari’ and her adopted son ‘Munna’,it is a saga which tells about her unprecedented motherly love and affection towards him, even at the cost of her own life. It won’t be an exaggeration to say that like the protagonist, Pelagea Nilovana of the famous novel ‘The Mother’ of the great Russian Writer Maxim Gorki, Ram Asari, despite being uneducated woman also emerged as a lustrous idol of a woman of strong will and feelings. The only difference in between them is that where Nilovana is a face of radicalization, Ram Asari is a symbol of affection and selflessness. With a hope, kindled in her mind, she did hard labour to raise her Munna as a personage and in this pursuit she ultimately loses the race of her own life. This is such an affectionate story that there could hardly be any reader who won’t shed tears from the core of his/her heart by reading this book. It is a very fascinating novel full of attractions, horripilation and curiosity and thus has great appeal to keep the readers engrossed in it till the finishing of the last line.

The Grandmother Principles
Author: Suzette Haden Elgin
Publisher: Abbeville Press
ISBN: 9780789205858
Category : Family & Relationships
Languages : en
Pages : 228
Book Description
According to the author, "Grandmother skills" are disappearing because in our highly mobile society, women may now remain in the workforce or live far from their grandchildren. Elgin (The Gentle Art of Verbal Self-Defense), herself a grandmother to 10, attempts to fill this gap by providing grandmothers of all types and ages with this chatty and good-natured guide to successful grandmothering. Included among Elgin's 21 sensible principles are advice for mediating family disputes, tips for helping grandchildren with money problems while maintaining one's own financial solvency, as well as the importance of passing down family myths and stories to the next generation. Elgin also discusses family crises or illnesses when it may become necessary for a grandmother to take over the running of the household of one of her children (whom she coyly refers to as a "chadult"). Elgin firmly believes that once the emergency is over, a grandmother must return the household to the parents as soon as possible and gracefully return home. Elgin includes lots of nitty gritty advice but most of her book is aimed at reminding readers how to give families the advantage of their experience without giving in to the frailties of age. “ 35 b/w illustrations
