<\/b><\/i>\"Stand up against the wrong happening around you\" his words keep nagging behind my mind. If only I hadn\u2019t been dependent on someone my life today would\u2019ve been different. It\u2019s been 4 years I\u2019m married to this devil and till date, I haven\u2019t gathered up enough courage to punch him down. Just as I was about to put the curry in the bowl I felt a tug on the corner of my shirt, my eyes then met a pair of black eyes, Zara, my daughter \u201cMommy grandmother and daddy are very angry. They\u2019re asking you to bring in food as soon as possible\u201d she said picking up the plates and left. My heart clenched looking at her. \u2018Oh God, I wish I could give my daughter a better life than this\u2019 I silently prayed. I had to serve them before they lash out at me again, so I pushed away from the thoughts and was on my way to the dining area. My body froze just as I heard a tight slap and saw my angel on the floor. \u201cShe is teaching you that, right? How dare you back answer me\u201d He barked. <\/p>
Fear and anger came rushing down in my veins. Fear because he\u2019ll punish me again and angry because he hurt my daughter for no reason.<\/p>
Nevertheless, I had to protect her. Gathering all my leftover courage I said in a low yet stern voice \u201cKelvin, don\u2019t hit her. She didn\u2019t do anything wrong. Hit me as much as you want but please don\u2019t do anything to her\u201d. Just as those escaped my lips, I heard my mother in law\u2019s humourless laugh while she said: \u201cYou and your daughter are the faults in our lives\u201d. \u201cThen why don\u2019t you just leave me?\u201d I politely asked. Both of them exchanged glances then she said \u201cI need a housemaid\u201d followed by him \u201cand I don\u2019t live here so I have to keep her with a maid who wouldn\u2019t run away and that is the only reason we won\u2019t let you go\u201d with that he violently caught hold of my wrist and led me to the hell to endure the torture. I didn\u2019t fail to look back at my horrified daughter and show her a thumbs up saying \u201cMomma is fine\u201d. <\/p>
\u201cMomma?\u201d I heard Zara sneak in through the curtain. Despite the pain I was drenched in, I sat up just to make her feel better. \u201cCome in sweetheart\u201d my voice came out broken. \u201cI brought you a glass of water mommy,\u201d she said handing me the glass. Her eyes glistening with tears yet she didn\u2019t let them come out. I slowly gulped down the water and kissed her cheek. \u201cMomma is all good Zara, don\u2019t worry\u201d I forced a smile. She was just looking down at her laps. Taking my hand in hers, she lifted the sleeve of my shirt only to see the fresh belt marks \u201cAfter all this, you say you\u2019re fine mommy? You are a liar\u201d she said. I felt a pang of pain rush inside me. Not because she said I was a liar but because she had to go through all this pain because of me. Nevertheless, I had to comfort her. \u201cNo honey, this is just a little price I have to pay, to live here\u201d \u201cWe can go far away from here mommy?\u201d she whispered expecting I would consider her idea. \u2018Oh, how I wish I can take you somewhere else to a better place than this\u2019 I had nothing to answer her, I just kissed her forehead and let my chin rest on it.<\/p>
Sensing that I had no intentions to answer her, she stood up angrily and yelled \u201cSee, you always ignore my question. You can run away if you want but I don\u2019t understand why do you like to be tortured like this. Anyways, I just came here to tell you that I heard dad and grandmother talking that dad\u2019s flight is tomorrow morning but he said he\u2019ll leave today from home and stay the night in some hotel\u201d with that she just exited the room angrily. I agree her anger is genuine but how will I ever tell her how helpless I am? No one to stand up with. Even after being a qualified engineer, even after working as an assistant professor for a year, even after having tons of brothers and sister, I stand completely helpless. Just because I wanted to give all my time to my new family I left the job, and this torture is what I get in return. My father, my hero died two years before I got married. My mother, brothers, and sisters say I have to adjust here just because they got me married to this devil, and I have to serve them till my last breath. I can not ask for a divorce because I need a home to live and I won\u2019t get a job anywhere because it has been years I studied and I don\u2019t remember anything. Now I'm abused by only one devil, and after divorce, I'd be abused by the whole society. Not only me but Zara too be a victim of this. When I ask my family like as in my real family they say I can not live with them just because I don\u2019t belong to them anymore and that my daughter would have to face the world without a father. Even though they\u2019re well aware of the fact that she is a result of marital rape.It was then I realized how my family who raised me all along just disowned me within a day.<\/p>
If only I had stood up for myself before it was too late. If only I could stop the beast before allowing him to change my life. If only I had acted upon the words dad told me before dying \u201cStand up against the wrong happening to you\u201d, my life would\u2019ve been different today. <\/p>

When you are alone in the house and there's no Swiggy to deliver delicious food to you but you have all the resources you need to whip yourself one up, and you still complain about there being no food in the house and rolling around on your bed, that is squarely nobody else's but your own fault. <\/p>
I realised this one fine day when I was left all alone in the house and had no money to eat but the fridge and the kitchen was stocked to the brim with everything I needed to make whatever I wanted. So I decided to make myself some food, I remember making Tomato Dal and Rice, and when I ate it, I swore to learn how to cook. <\/p>
Because it was horrendous. <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1508847960166","data":"59f073ca8b653"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1508847962114","data":"
I remember Robert Downey Jr. talking about how he turned his life around after he ate a burger so bad, he stopped and thought just what exactly he was doing with his life. As the story goes, Downey Jr. was struggling with drug abuse for years, so much so that it was affecting his professional career, with directors and casting agents simply refusing to work with him. So one day he took a drive in his open top car - he was already a famous movie star by then - and not knowing what to do and high on drugs, he stopped at a Burger King and ordered a burger. <\/p>
Downey Jr. narrates this story and says that the burger he ate was so terrible, he stopped midway and thought to himself just what he was doing with his own life, he examined his life up until that point and decided that he would never use drugs again. He threw away the drugs he was carrying into the ocean and went home and into rehab. <\/p>
Eating the food I cooked was my personal Robert Downey Jr. moment. <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1508929887021","data":"59f074b2b762a"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1508929889337","data":"
So after that moment, I've dedicated at least an hour a day to learn how to cook and, if I may be allowed this humble brag, become somewhat of a decent cook. When your friends start asking you for your recipes and make requests for some of your dishes, you know you're doing good. <\/p>
Coming to the topic at hand, it doesn't matter if you can or cannot cook delicious food, what matters is that you can cook food that can sustain you. Don't put yourself on Survival mode when you have the time and resources to cook yourself a half decent meal, one that you can eat yourself and push on. <\/p>
Students of today will eventually become working professionals, expecting someone to do your cooking for you is an arrogant thought that you must expunge from your mind, if you can't cook your own food, there is no way for you to complain about why there isn't any when you are privileged enough to afford the resources and often the time required. With students eventually moving to different cities for their careers, it is extremely important that you teach yourself this essential life skill. <\/p>

In a world full of chaos, finding a semblance of order is a rarity. When such an opportunity\npresents itself, it is hard not to grab hold of it with both hands. Therefore, when the world\u2019s\nnations get to be a part of a common assembly where each one\u2019s voice can be heard, one\ncan expect a huge turnout. This is exactly what the United Nations has achieved since its\ninception.

Life is an unsettling period, with many physical, emotional, psychological and social changes that accompany us.<\/p>

There is a certain meditative pleasure in travelling alone to a place you've never been before. It is fraught with risk, for one, but it is also exciting, adrenaline pumping thrilling, all of that in the multiples if you're a woman who's traveling solo. <\/p>
I still have no idea how my parents not only agreed to let me travel on my own, but even actively encouraged me to do so. My father, being in the army, even encouraged me to go check out the remotest places in the country, places where only the army has reached. But I decided that I would rather go to Shillong, partly because Meghalaya is beautiful without a doubt, and partly because Steve Vai is performing at NH7 Weekender. <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1508830050359","data":"59eeee438e500"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1508830051907","data":"
Pictured above: This is what peak perfection looks like<\/i><\/p>
I feel there is an aura of mystery and adventure around travelling solo that is, as it the case with anything that gains some modicum of popularity, grossly misrepresented. Travelling solo is perceived by people to be some kind of soul-searching exercise which will solve all your life's problems, but the truth is that nothing of the sort happens. The loneliness of the road is real, it is melancholic and it will freeze you in your tracks as you contemplate your life and your mind automatically takes you to places you wish it didn't go, memories it didn't access. <\/p>
In that way, travelling solo is a fantastic experience. The long periods of solitude allow you to truly introspect all issues in your life because your mind keeps wandering, but the actual solution to this issue is something which will only come to you if you are ready for them. Soul-searching, yes, life changing, no, not until you want it yourself. <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1508830271853","data":"59eeee5f00e77"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1508830273988","data":"
Travelling solo as a woman is, in itself, a tremendous challenge in this country. I admire my fellow sisters who think this country is safe enough to travel, but I would rather be safe than sorry. To this end, I took a number of precautions that I do not regret having done, I was indeed accosted by a few men I did not want to encourage, and I defended myself sufficiently, enough to ensure nothing untoward happened, except the fact that patriarchy still exists and men like that still think women, all women, owe them sex just for existing. <\/p>
But that is an issue that I will write about at length, for now, let us conclude with the fact that unless you confront yourself with your own faults, there is nothing on this planet that will help you. If you're a believer, not even God can help you if you're blind to your own faults. So, before you travel solo, make a pact with yourself, a pact that says if you confront your own personal issues on the trip, you will face it head on and not make excuses. <\/p>
Doing that, truly doing that, will change your life. I guarantee it. <\/p>

Look, I get it, Mondays suck, Tuesdays are even worse, Wednesdays are the worst. It is right in the middle of the week, the weekend is as far away as the last time you had some fun, which was the last weekend. If you have any video games, movies or TV shows coming out, you'll have to wait till Friday, which is one full extra day in between. Wednesdays, then, become the worst part of the week in a week you're already detesting because you have things to do because otherwise you will not survive. <\/p>
Sounds like you? It sure does sound like me. I'll be honest, with Wolfenstien II: The New Colossus, Stranger Things and Assassin's Creed: Origins all releasing on the same day, it has got me excited but it is still one full day away and that is so incredibly annoying, I cannot even begin to tell you how much I wish I could put myself to sleep and wake up automatically on time, you know, like how they do it in Fallout and Skyrim, and also Witcher. But since that is in-game and fictional, we're stuck with the reality of our situation: having to deal with your own animosity towards the week you're going through. <\/p>
As fancy as it is to hope that we had super powers or could sleep forever, it is up to us to turn our week from Kryptonite to something that energises us. It also dramatically improves your performance at work or in college. So how does one do it?<\/p>
1. Plan your week every Sunday evening: <\/b><\/p>
No, this is not a joke, I'm being quite serious. Instead of sulking around the house and cursing the inevitable onslaught of Monday on all your free time, sit down, grab a pen and paper (or use Evernote, that is a great option) and plan your week starting Monday morning. Make sure you give yourself appropriate time to unwind and promise to yourself that you will stay focused and finish tasks according to your planner. Which brings us to point number 2. <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1508828200501","data":"59eee98735a70"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1508828202110","data":"
2. Focus on what is important: <\/b> <\/p>
No, that funny edgy meme you just got on WhatsApp doesn't need your immediate attention, neither do you need to look at it and laugh before you type 'nice meme'. When you're at your workplace or your college, focus on the task at hand even if its killing your brain cells with the tremendous amount of soporific powers it just developed. In this day and age of internet and social media, our attention spans have been reduced to ridiculous amounts. There is an entire generation of children growing up with attention spans so horrendous, I fear they'll ever pick up a book to read, but that is a problem for another time. For now, keep your focus, it may become a privilege tomorrow. <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1508828389036","data":"59eee99b0de28"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1508828391004","data":"
3. Sweat a bit: <\/b> <\/p>
Don't be just confined to a small cubicle or a class room, wake up early, go for a run, cycle, hit the gym, make the right choices. The amount of positive impact a routine like this can have on your week and by extension your entire life is heavily underreported. A daily morning (or evening if you're a gym rat and are trying to bulk up) workout routine can tremendously improve any week you're having. Personally attest to that fact. <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1508828769221","data":"59eee9b16ceaa"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1508828771310","data":"
4. Do something positive: <\/b> <\/p>
Read about social classes, understand social issues, support the right causes, lend a helping hand to those who need help, even when you get nothing in return. Expect nothing from anyone else but be willing to lend a hand when needed. Be excellent to the people around you, it will help. <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1508828836885","data":"59eee9c35ab14"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1508828839617","data":"
5. Be The Change you want to see: <\/b> <\/p>
Rome was certainly not built in a day, first there was Romulus and the whole wolf thing, that was a great story. But I'm going off track, the point here is that you can start not hating your week by starting to change how you see life itself. I know you can love your life and hate yourself, which leads to even more negativity, but the power to change this is in your hands, and I believe in you. <\/p>

Writing novels is not an easy task, in fact, I'd go on to say even the basic act of writing itself is more difficult than it seems to be, difficulty that we often take for granted because most of us will not be writing as many words as someone like Orhan Pamuk - who won a Nobel in Literature - would be. Most people, then, are left to the devices of wordsmiths who manage to craft the words we know into prose we will remember. <\/p>
Pamuk's 'My Name Is Red' was a book I pretended I had read for a long time, no idea why I did that. Maybe I was seeking approval and inclusion in the 'cool' group that read as many books as I do, and in many cases - to be fair, in all cases - read more than me. The natural tendency to lean towards over-expectations when you hear so much praise of a book coming from people you trust makes you, I fear, think that the book they were recommending is not as good as they claim it to be. It is kind of hard to take people seriously when everyone comes up to you and says a particular show or book they were watching\/reading at the moment was the best thing since sliced bread. But it wasn't, and Pamuk's flourish in writing earned him a fan in me. <\/p>
Which brings us to the main event time, the question at hand, the billion dollar question (or really, a few hundred rupees, since that is how much the book costs) is if the book is worth picking up or not. <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1508737480837","data":"59edb6bd11e97"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1508737482739","data":"
Of course, it is. <\/p>
That was always going to be the answer to 'Should I read Pamuk?', yes, you should, and yes, you should talk about it as much as you can. <\/p>
The Red-Haired Woman is Pamuk's 10th novel, released earlier this year. A short novel that takes you through its pages filled with a young 16-year-old and a grizzled old man, scarred over the years with wounds on both the soul and its vessel - going through the trials and tribulations of building a friendship. Of sorts. <\/p>
With a father that was more devoted to the ideology than his own son, Cem found himself without a father figure at the age he needed one the most. As is wont for any teenager his age - the desire to be independent for example - Cem seeks work and finds the grizzled old Mahmut, in-charge of digging a well for the local residents in the nearby town, and joins as an apprentice. <\/p>
Manual labour is hard work, building a well even more so. As Cem and Mahmut would continue to find out, it was also a great tool in bringing them together, with Cem seeing the old man as his surrogate father, and it is with this surrogate father - on one of his breaks - he sees The Red-Haired Woman for the very first time. <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1508749237417","data":"59edb6ee22b59"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1508749239387","data":"
Pamuk's style has always evoked strong emotions in me. The narrative shifts focus to the interactions between Cem and the people he meets, thoughts about the Red-Haired Woman and it is done so in Pamuk's signature style, that ethereal play of words that come together and leave you breathing shallow and starting at what you just read. While My Name Is Red was absolutely incredible in breaking out the emotions and burdening you with them, The Red-Haired Woman is slower, with bits and pieces of brilliance thrown around across its pages, but it is truly near the end where the book shines. <\/p>
Pamuk's use of narrative tropes over the course of the book and then bringing it all together at the end with a neat little twist of its own is a pleasure to read. My complaint, perhaps my only one with this book, is that the final twist and the narrative that follows it seems like it was crafted first before anything else was written because the final few pages are simply sublime. <\/p>
They say a good movie is one that changes you as a person, but I believe books have a greater impact. Throughout history, great folk have learned a lot from books, some people even went on to write their own and become legends in their own right. The Red-Haired Woman is not Pamuk's best work, but it is still a fantastic read, and you should definitely pick it up. <\/p>
