अपने अंदर की आग हीं
मोमबत्ती को
जलाती
गलाती और
रूलाती है .
पर जलते हुए यह राह रोशन कर जाती है .
Veils, Halos & Shackles is a great anthology of international feminist poetry edited by Charles Fishman and Smita Sahay. The book was conceived in response to the horrific rape and manslaughter of Jyoti Singh Pandey in Delhi and to the unprecedented public protest that followed it.
Congratulations to Charles and my daughter Smita Sahay.
Thank you, Shikhandin and Kitaab journal for this wonderful review.
Five years ago, in January 2013, Charles Ades Fishman and Smita Sahay conceived of Veils, Halos & Shackles, dedicated to ‘Jyoti Singh Pandey, Nadia Anjuman and the uncountable number of other women and girls who have been victims of gender violence’.
This is a two-part feature consisting of the book review and an interview with Charles Fishman and Smita Sahay. Today we carry the review to be followed by the interview tomorrow.

1. Trust no one but respect everyone.
2. What happens in office, remain in office. Never take office gossips to home and vice versa.
3. Enter office on time, leave on time. Your desktop is not helping to improve your health.
4. Never make Relationships in the work place. It will always backfire.
5. Expect nothing. If somebody helps, feel thankful. If not, you will learn to know things on your own.
6. Never rush for a position. If you get promoted, congrats. If not, it doesn’t matter. You will always be remembered for your knowledge and politeness, not for your designation.
7. Never run behind office stuff. You have better things to do in life.
8. Avoid taking everything on your ego. Your salary matters. You are being paid. Use your assets to get happiness.
9. It doesn’t matter how people treat you. Be humble. You are not everyone’s cup of tea.
10. In the end nothing matters except family, friends, home, and Inner peace.
My blog has always been an open and honest safe space, where mental illness can be discussed without judgment. Something I haven’t discussed on here before is my medication. I have been taking medication for generalised anxiety disorder with depressive and obsessive episodes for around 5 years. In that time I have switched medication a total of three times, each time very different. When I was switching I looked for other bloggers that had written about their experiences switching meds – I couldn’t find any, so I thought I would write one.
A Little disclaimer – I am just a patient sharing my experience of various medicines and I am definitely not a medical professional. Everyone reacts to different medications differently.
