March Read & Eat: Cook & Cake!

Nor did I cook, neither did I bake. But I did read and still reading Books by Robin Cook and Ate and still eating Cakes! Advantage of the birthday month.

I got lucky; three more Robin Cook Books from the library: Read—Crisis and Reading—Cure and Harmful Intent.

Crisis: Gives an understanding on concierge medical practice along with in depth analysis of a narcissistic personality with interesting courtroom sessions. You get to experience a good balance and dependency between forensic medicine and legal practice. Words etched in memory: Narcissism, Perfidy and Foibles.

And applying the C&C combination to my life so far…

Calm & Chaos
Constancy & Change
Comfort & Challenge
Crisis & Confusion
Charm & Cute
Colour & Cloud
Choices & Consequences 
Case & Chase
Care & Concern
Compassion & Cure
Classy & Creative
Curious & Cautious
Coffee & Clicks
Coasts & Coins
Contemporary & Conventional
Celebrations & Ceremonies
Conversations & Conclusions
Chapters & Continuations…

Women’s Day, Today & Every Day!

I was wondering what should I write this women’s day, and there arrives my Amazon delivery: The Golden Secret Of Divar Island by Vandita Mitter. A young talent and a very dear friend’s daughter.

A grade 7th student, a thirteen year old and an author! 

I am writing this post as I watch Mission : Impossible Ghost Protocol for the nth time on Prime Video. However, this time it reminds me that a few years back, and in a few circumstances still, women as writers was or still is, a mission impossible. Centuries back, women writers had to adopt musculine pen names or gender ambiguous pseudonyms to get a book published. And yet today, we have women writers across all ages as novelists, authors, journalists, bloggers, influencers, life coaches and the list goes on. 

This arduous journey from years to today is almost captured by Ethan Hunt’s Leap Of Faith Expressions in the MI-4 movie. Even ‘impossible’ can be read as I’mPossible. It’s just when, not if, you take that leap of faith. No, I don’t mean anybody to jump from any building or any height here, but to break the stereotypes and move ahead with confidence. 

I’m yet to read Vandita Mitter’s book. But I am sure it will be a fun read.

Until next, Happy Women’s Day to all women and all those who empower women!
