A SHORT COMMENT ON LADY ORACLE-A BOOK WITH A DIFFRENCE

"it’s a book away from the league"

That’s how we can describe "the ladies oracle" in the shortest possible sentence. Authored by heinrich cornelius agrippa,"an infallible prophet of the male sex",contemprory of nostradamus,a personal astrologer to emperor Charles V in 1500s,the book unfolds beautifully the answers to many questions which often trouble the maiden minds or hearts of those who are on the road to find love. “Nothing is more easy or simple,"agrippa tells us. The book answers questions like"shalli marry young?"Or "the man that I love is he faithful to me?"the ladies oracle never fails you or your expectations for an accurate answer.

since its a book on charms and spells, the days like January 1,2,3,4,10,20,22,february 6,17,28,march 24,26,april 10,27,28,may 7,8.june 27,july 17,21,august 20,22,sept5,30,october6,november 3, 29,,december6,10,15 are unlucky to work out the oracle. Also it’s not well to try the same question twice in the same day. The end of the book consists of some charms and ceremonies by which one can either see a future partner or can compel ones lover to meet him or her as soon as possible. The charms, no matter how un-believable they might appear make an extremely entertaining read.

And whether it be “you will marry the one that often makes you sigh "or "yes he loves you with sincerity”, your journey with the book is going to be not only memorable but also a delightful one.

Cutting people off isn’t strength—It is a trauma response

Your ability to cut people off and self-isolate is not a skill you should be proud of—It is a trauma response Cutting people off and self-isolating may feel like a protective shield, but it is often rooted in unresolved or unhealed trauma and an inability to depend on others. While these behaviors seem like self-preservation, they end up reinforcing isolation and blocking meaningful connections. Confronting these patterns, seeking therapy, and nurturing supportive relationships can help break this unhealthy cycle. Plus, a simple act like planting a jasmine plant can symbolise the start of your journey towards emotional healing. Why do we cut people off and isolate? If you’re someone who prides themselves on “cutting people off” or keeping a tight circle, you might believe it’s a skill—a way to protect yourself from betrayal, hurt, or unnecessary drama. I get it. I’ve been there, too. But here’s the thing: this ability to isolate yourself is not as empowering as it may seem. In fact, i...

Not Quite Dead Yet- Holly Jackson- A review

Is Not Quite Dead Yet All Hype and No Heart? A review of Holly Jackson’s thriller You pick up Not Quite Dead Yet expecting a clever, grown up thriller, but you are handed melodrama dressed as urgency. This long form review questions the hype, critiques its shallow characterisation, and asks whether a ticking clock can replace emotional depth, moral consequence, and believable storytelling. Why do you pick up a book that promises a woman will die in seven days? You know this feeling. You walk into a bookshop or scroll online, tired after a long day, and you want certainty. You want a hook that grabs you by the collar and says, “This will matter.” A countdown does exactly that. Seven days to live. A woman solving her own murder. The premise feels urgent, cinematic, and engineered to keep you turning pages even when your better judgement whispers otherwise. Publishing statistics support this instinct. According to data shared by The New York Times and NPR , thrillers with ...

Does India need communal parties?

I think, it was Tan's post on this blog itself, Republic Day Event, where this question was raised. My answer. YES. we need communal parties even in Independent, Secular India. Now let me take you, back to events before 1947. When India was a colony of the British Empire. The congress party, in its attempt to gain momentum for the independence movement, heavily used Hinduism, an example of which is the famous Ganesh Utsav held in Mumbai every year. Who complains? No one. But at that time, due to various policies of the congress, Muslims started feeling alienated. Jinnah, in these times, got stubborn over the need of Pakistan and he did find a lot of supporters. Congress, up till late 1940's never got bothered by it. And why should we? Who complains? No one. But there were repercussions. The way people were butchered and slaughtered during that brief time when India got partitioned, was even worse than a civil war scenario. All in the name of religion. And there indeed was cr...
