Download or read book Talking Is Wasted Breath written by Rasana Atreya and published by Scrub Tree Media. This book was released on 2020-12-29 with total page 315 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a world where family expectations outweigh personal desires, tradition isn't simply a guide—it's an ironclad rule. Madhav is a young man with an engineering job that pays rather well. He also has: · A mother who doesn’t understand why it is so wrong to demand dowry for her son. Especially when she paid out a generous dowry for her daughter. · A father who feels so obligated to his beautiful wife for consenting to marry him, he will not deny her. · A grandfather whose wacky schemes occupy his own time and Madhav’s. · A grandmother whose sharp tongue hides a kind heart. · A girl who has possession of his heart but not of the dowry his mother so desires. Traditionally, as the eldest son, Madhav must marry a woman who will perform his ancestors’ afterlife rituals—a responsibility he’s ready to shoulder. Yet, when it comes to selecting a bride, he'd rather deviate from tradition and choose his own partner—an idea his parents are not willing to accept. Set in rural India, where old traditions and new ideas often collide, Talking Is Wasted Breath is a compelling drama about the challenges of generational differences, societal pressures, and the power of love. In a world where family ties are both valued and limiting, the story follows one man’s search for happiness as he disrupts long-standing traditions. Engaging and insightful, this novel explores themes of change, hope, and the complexities of human relationships. ◆ This book was previously called 28 Years A Bachelor. ◆ Spellings used in this book are British/Indian. ◆ All books in this series may be read independently.

So begins Julia Sarcone-Roach’s delicious tale of a bear, lost in the city, who happens upon an unattended sandwich in the park. The bear’s journey from forest to city and back home again is full of happy accidents, funny encounters, and sensory delights.

Download or read book When the World Becomes Female written by Joyce Burkhalter Flueckiger and published by Indiana University Press. This book was released on 2013-07-23 with total page 335 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “A carefully crafted ethnography on the South Indian festival of the village goddess Gangamma in the pilgrimage town of Tirupati” (Choice). During the goddess Gangamma’s festival in the town of Tirupati, lower-caste men take guises of the goddess, and the streets are filled with men wearing saris, braids, and female jewelry. By contrast, women participate by intensifying the rituals they perform for Gangamma throughout the year, such as cooking and offering food. Joyce Burkhalter Flueckiger argues that within the festival ultimate reality is imagined as female and women identify with the goddess, whose power they share. Vivid accounts by male and female participants offer new insights into Gangamma’s traditions and the nature of Hindu village goddesses. “Flueckiger’s rich and colorful descriptions of the stories, festivals, and worshipers connected with the goddess Gangamma evoke a world that previously had been accessible to very few living outside southern India. This work makes available to readers a close-up view of an extremely fascinating aspect of living Hinduism.” —David L. Haberman, Indiana University “Carefully crafted. . . . Through these rituals, stories and lives, the author reveals new ways of comprehending gender both at the cosmological and human level.” —Ann Grodzins Gold, Syracuse University

The plot of this novel is the miserable life of its heroine, who always stood for the wellbeing of those in her life.” Mathrubhumi weekly special issue, October 2013. “The theme of this novel is the fretting and fuming of woman life which gets entangled in the labyrinth of family intricacies, even in this modern era.” Grihalekshmi magazine, March 2014 “The main character Amminikutty, who has suffered endless hardships all throughout her life, remains as the personification of sufferings”Kumkumam magazine, November 2013 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M4Nl7WuOoPY http://www.amazon.in/AMMINIKUTTY-Amminikutty-D-J-ebook/dp/B00O4C52R6/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1421749497&sr=8-1&keywords=amminikutty
Download or read book Dalit Women written by Clarinda Still and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-06 with total page 211 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the only ethnographic studies of Dalit women, this book gives a rich account of individual Dalit women’s lives and documents a rise in patriarchy in the community. The author argues that as Dalits’ economic and political position improves, ‘honour’ becomes crucial to social status. One of the ways Dalits accrue honour is by altering patterns of women’s work, education and marriage, and by adopting dominant-caste gender practices. But Dalits are not simply becoming like upper castes; they are simultaneously asserting a distinct, politicised Dalit identity, formed in direct opposition to the dominant castes. They are developing their own ‘politics of culture’. Key to both, the author argues, is the ‘respectability’ of women. This has significant effects on gender equality in the Dalit community.

There has a be a better way, a biblical way, for mamas to grow and thrive. As a daughter of Christ, you have been called to be more than an average mama. Attaining excellence doesn’t have to be unsettling but it will take committed focus and a desire to parent well according to God’s grace and for His glory. M is for Mama offers advice, encouragement, and scripturally sound strategies seasoned with a little bit of humor to help you embrace the challenge of biblical motherhood and raise your children with love and wisdom. Mama, you are worthy of the awesome responsibility God has given you. Now it’s time to start believing you can live up to it.
