LOCKDOWN READING.
In the middle of a pandemic like most of the world and my brain is in lockdown mode.
A charming ,light hearted ,fun read.
A collection of horror stories which make you question life ,death and everything in between by the acclaimed writer Ratnakar Matkari who donned multiple hats(director,playwright) and who sadly passed away due to the dreaded virus in May this year.
Reading horror stories everyday in the news and being in a constant state of stress and panic isn’t helping.I find myself feeling dejected and anxious.
The present feels dystopian.
In stressful times books offer me the much needed solace.I will be writing detailed reviews about what I’ve been reading very soon.
These are the few books that Ive read over time but right now there’s just too much to handle and I’m barely getting into reading mode.
But getting back to talking about books,I picked up these few to write about:
A thought provoking ,compelling and emotional read ,a reminder to never bow down to injustice ,ever relevant now as it was then.The unwavering love of a mother for a child she chose to have and raise in the difficult age of apartheid. #Blacklivesmatter .Trevor Noah is brilliant!
Unsettling ,gut wrenching ,powerful ......What a punch packed story this was and a bold statement in the times we live in.
