Rocking Invitation@ Afternoon at Four Fountains Spa

Rush, Rash, Running.. Past few days have been really hectic but the invitation to have a refreshing Spa and review it made my day.... Ooops but the day to review it somehow got delayed due to various reasons..

 

Though I had got this invitation almost a month back but I wasn't very much keen to have it as I have been really too busy with my books, classes and various meetings.  

Now, as the vacations are approaching, you can say, I am little less busy and stressed (not free exactly).

 I am writing my fifth book and 3rd fiction- a Romantic Historical one and wanted a break and  hence decided to visit one of the Spas of Four Fountains which had extended its warm invitation. They were very warm and wanted me to have it in any of their Centres  in India.

Now, I would like you to know  why at the first place, I wasn't very keen to accept this invite! It was because my experience till now in the matter of hygiene, cleanliness and relaxation have not been very good in many of the branded salons and parlours... and I took this Spa also to be one amongst them but I was grievously mistaken!

Reception of Four Fountains Gurgaon

But at Four Fountains, the experience was mind blowing. Ohh! I felt so relaxed after taking Summer Splash Spa with Swedish Massage Strokes. The ambiance was Super and Dr Meenu with her team very cordial! 

They took care of all my needs and gave a refreshing afternoon.

Over all all I can say, it is a great Spa Centre with  elite class facilites. In fact, I was stunned when they showed me their price list. The spas are not at all expensive and quite affordable! So everyone once in a while can go for them and burst their stress!

Negative bytes: Can't think any: Don't want to stress myself by unnecessarily criticising!!

Rashmi Singh is a Faridabad based successful author, best known for her novel, Love’s Journey, published by Pustak Mahal in 2011.

Rashmi Singh is a multi faceted genius. She is a columnist, writer, poetess, blogger, motivator, excellent portrait painter, and a very successful author. Her blogs, with write ups on self improvement and beautiful poems can be found on Riviera, and Lost Tranquility which is visible in the Asia section of an International website http://news.net

Originally she belongs to Patna and is the first woman writer from Bihar to write English fictions and self help books. Having done her initial schooling from Notre Dame Academy, Patna, she passed her I.C.S.E. exams from Loreto Convent, Ranchi. Later she graduated in Political Science from Patna Women’s College (Avila Convent). Singh was also the elected Joint Secretary of her college but as she belonged to a conservative royal Rajput family, she was married quite early and with marriage came endless responsibilities, curbing her talents and her expressions to define herself. During school days, she would spend hours after the dismissal to practice dramas but all such expressions were shut upon her after marriage. They only then found space in her diaries, which she never left writing. Rashmi initially tried to curb her expressions and wanted to live life as any other housewife but her hidden talents could not be forever subjugated.

She continued to pursue her studies after marriage. She had to face extreme difficult situations but successfully completed her post graduation in Political Science from Vinoba Bhave University (Hazaribag), where her husband was then posted as a Telecom District Manager. Thereafter, she did Masters in Business
Administration (Human Resources, IGNOU) and also secured a Certificate of Teaching English (CTE) from IGNOU. Problems of life could never deter her. There were breaks in her life but after every break, she emerged even stronger and resilient.

A passionate writer, Rashmi Singh has taught English at Senior Secondary level in various renowned schools across India, like St. Mary’s Senior Secondary Convent

(Moradabad), K.C.M. School (Moradabad), Mt Carmel School (Hazaribag), Amar Singh Children’s School (Gorakhpur). She has been associated with Manav Rachna Schools, Faridabad, and GBN School, Faridabad as a Counsellor and a Personality Development Trainer. She had been also the honorary member of Central School’s Teachers Selection Committee (Moradabad). The most interesting part of her teaching career has been till yet that in every Institution, she was offered the post first, employed and then was asked to submit her certificates. People were generally enamored by her scintillating innocent personality, coupled with intelligence.

This strong willed writer has written four books. Two fictions, Love’s Journey (Pustak Mahal) and The Fallen Love(Pigeon Books), and two self help books, Taming the Restless Mind and Back to School@30, both published by Pustak Mahal Publishers. Love’s Journey is already a big hit and Taming the Restless Mind has found its place in World catalogue(CAT).

Love’s Journey was conceptualized almost a decade back when she had to leave her studies to look after her family, but finally the book got its true shade in 2011. Rashmi always believed in life’s positivity and though several times being mentally disturbed, she sprang back on the platform of life with flying colours.
Being a true motivator, Singh thus wrote the self help books to help others from her experiences of life. Writing quenches her incessant thirst of knowledge and emotions.

She has been highly acclaimed for delving into human minds and breathing life to the characters of her novels. Her novels can be termed bold, but she has the courage to peep into the dark corners of human mind. Her fifth book and a historical fiction about a yesteryear’s ruler’s reign, power, lust and passion is expected early next year.

Rashmi Singh has two children, son Apurva Nandan and a daughter Ayushree Nandan.

Her books can be bought from:

Early marriage and family responsibilities did not stop author Rashmi Singh from doing what she loves most — writing. Rashmi, with her roots in Patna, is now riding high on the success of her four books. In a tête-à-tête with t2, the Faridabad-based writer talks about the journey of fulfilling her dreams

From being a soft-skill and personality development trainer to becoming an author — how did  it all happen? Writing has always been my first love. In fact, my blogs — Riviera and Lost Tranquility — depict my  passion for writing. When I got married, I stopped planning my life, as things didn’t work out the  way I wanted. But when I didn’t plan, I just found things falling into place. I was barely a graduate  when I got married and was clueless about how I could establish myself professionally. However, luck  favoured me and I became a teacher and taught at many prestigious schools across India. While  teaching in schools, I was constantly counseling the students. Hence I developed an acute sense  of analysing different individuals. This way, from counseling, I took to personality development training.  But writing didn’t leave my side. It was like my best friend, who always stayed by me in my ups and downs . I wrote my feelings continuously in my diaries and eventually it transformed into books. Are the characters in your book inspired by the people you have met? Well, honestly they are most of the time. I study and relate to people and everything around me,  including animals, very easily and quickly. Sometimes, articles in newspapers or magazines too influence my writing. Pain, pleasure, joy, fear and all other emotions experienced by a person  come alive in my novels. Probably, this is why critics praise the portrayal of the characters in my fiction. Tell us about your books Back to School@30, Taming the Restless Mind, Love’s Journey  and The Fallen Love. Back to School@30 is a self-help book for people in 30s and beyond. This book is meant to help a  person organise and manage one’s relationships. Taming the Restless Mind is also a self-help book for the youth and their fears and problems, like sexual myths, dating, divorce, pay packages,  emotional stability and others. Love’s Journey and The Fallen Love are fiction. Love’s Journey is  my debut book and very close to my heart. It is a story of Christian girl, who loses her parents in a  communal riot. She undergoes the trials of destiny in the form of four lovers, who teach her different meanings of love. She becomes an unwed mother and finally makes it big in the film industry. The Fallen Love revolves around the veiled crimes in our society. Critics found it fast-paced and  interesting, but the depiction of sex life of a character didn’t go down well with some… but this is my style. Tell us a bit about your school and college days in Patna. I was in Notre Dame Academy from preparatory till Class VII. It was not just a school, it was like a family to me. Every sister and teacher was responsible in grooming me and nurturing my outlook towards  life. Since I stayed close to the school, I have lot of happy memories that I cherish till date. Whether it was  taking part in one-act plays, school fete to other extracurricular activities, they helped me become what  I am today. NDA personifies Keats’ poem, ‘A thing of beauty is a joy forever, it never passes into  nothingness’. I passed my ICSE from Loreto Convent, Ranchi, and here I blossomed as an excellent speaker as I won the best speaker award from the Ram Krishna Mission Society consecutively for three years. I did my graduation from Patna Women’s College (Avila Convent). Marriage saw break in my studies, but I did my CTE, MA, MBA afterwards. It has been a real tough journey, but as they say  where there is a will there is a way! (smiles) Who are the writers you love reading? Whom do you consider the most promising among the  contemporary writers? I love reading Jane Austen, Arthur Hailey, Sidney Sheldon and Danielle Steele. Among Indian writers and poets, I have read Rabindranath Tagore, Premchand, Shivani, Amrita Pritam, Dinkar, Harivansh Rai Bachchan, Gandhi, Nehru and many more. Among contemporary writers I find Chitra Bannerjee Devakaruni as one of the most promising Indian writer. She has a very gripping style of narration. What challenges did you face while writing? Challenges are in every field. Without challenges, I feel achievements hold no meaning. Being a woman writer, I am very bold in my depiction of characters and don’t compromise on it. At first, I was a little scared, how my  friends and family would react. But after reading, all hailed my style of writing. The next big challenge was  to find a  publisher (phew!), especially for a fiction! I was initially laughed at for entering the literary scene late,  but now my success has made my critics dumb! But over all I feel, a woman faces challenges throughout her life. How has been the readers’ response? It has been overwhelming! Everyday, I get many fan mails and messages on Facebook praising my  writing and asking how I have become so popular within such a short span of time. I am really thankful  to God for this and also my readers, who love and criticise me at the same time. The readers of Bihar  and UP are extremely elated that a ‘saleable’ woman writer from their area, who writes in English, has arrived on the literary scene. Your books are based on relationships. Do you feel relationships are becoming flimsy these days? I do. My book Taming the Restless Mind deals with similar problems. Materialistic approach has taken the  front seat and emotions are dying. Internet has made life easier, but has made relationships complicated. Youth these days, even before reaching their 20s have almost 20 break ups. Consequently, this affects their  marital lives later. Was your family supportive when you decided to write? Do you feel early marriage is a  hindrance to a girl’s career aspirations? Despite having a rich legacy in writing, no one in my family had thought that one day I would become a  writer, except my father. My great grandfather had written Rasik Manoranjan, but a girl from our family  writing was not expected! My husband had made it clear to me from the very beginning that he had  not married a ‘working woman’. He told me that all I have to do is look good and take care of my family.  But with passage of time, he realised that talent could not be hidden and he let me do what I wanted.  My children are very encouraging and feel proud of me. However, the unconditional support of  my sister-in-law and brother and the determination that my late mother inculcated in me made me a writer.  Otherwise till now I would have been just writing diaries. (Laughs). I want to tell all parents not to get their daughters married early and curb their talents. Not everyone can fight with destiny as I have done.  Let them grow and spread their charm around. Early marriage can in fact create more problems. When publishers reject your book do you feel let down? Well obviously! It is very disheartening. But then I give a ‘pat’ on my back say ‘It’s alright Rashmi, failures are the pillars to success’. I heard that many renowned authors too had been rejected umpteenth time!  I take inspiration from them and surge ahead again with more vigour! I know many good publishers who are open to my non-fictions, but don’t want to publish a fiction. After Love’s Journey I had a  tough time finding a publisher, but Pigeon Books has always been open to all my fictions. Do you believe in “formula” writing (award-winning and bestseller books) that will earn you  more fame? No, if this had been the criterion then I would not have turned down a lucrative offer to write a ‘masala book’! The Fallen Love had lot of a lot of sleaze, which according to me is the depiction of crude truth of our society.  However, on the basis of this, some publishers thought they could ask me to pen down sensational books, but when they approached me I refused. I want to get my name engraved in the minds of the readers as  genuine writer and not as one of disgraceful books. As a Bihari were you ever looked down upon? Do you want to base any novel on Bihar? I have been never looked down upon as such, and I am grateful to my parents for this as they gave me the  best possible education available then. But yes, I have heard this, “Do you really belong to Bihar? You neither look, nor behave or speak like them?” At that time, I just wanted to scratch their face (humanly feeling!) but controlled my temper. I wasn’t able to understand why there was so much antagonism? Biharis are looked down upon in Mumbai. We forget we are Indians at large! We fight on petty issues of being Bihari, Gujarati, Punjabi and overlook serious problems of our society. Yes, I do want to base my novel on Bihar. Both my  fictions have incidents and scenes from Bihar. In fact, protagonists in both the novels — Jennifer Sebastian and Rohan Dixit — belong to Bihar. Your life must have changed in more ways than one with your fingers in many pies? How do  you juggle work and personal life? Well, my life has changed for sure. But I believe that if a person wants he or she can achieve anything. Coaching takes half of my time and I do freelance training as well. I write during the night and the break I get between my two jobs. Obviously, I have to look after home and children and I become tensed at times. But I try to maintain my cool. I am a very organised and plan my day-to-day routine. So, I don’t have  much time for friends. My life revolves around my work and my family. What is the piece of advice you want to give to upcoming writers? Please don’t resort to a spicy and eye-popping recipe to get instant success. I also advise them to listen to  their heart while writing and not the mind. I say this because mind is very practical and heart has feelings, which is important for being a genuine writer. What are your future projects? Do you want to script for films as well? My next book is a historical fiction, based on a dancer of Chalukyan King Pulkasein II’s era (610AD-643AD). This is a very intense fiction, which is again based on relationships and emotions  like infatuation, love, treachery,  conquests, wars, lust, acquisition, hate and finally repentance. This story is very close to my heart and I  have done a lot of research. It takes you to a whirlwind tour of events of a forgotten girl’s life and her  relationship with a king. I am open to everything. I believe ‘One’s script is already written by ‘Him’’ who is sitting up there. If scripting for films has to come my way, it will definitely come.  Otherwise I will always try to carve out something new!

“MIND OF A MAN is always active and fabricating
something. Even in its hibernation, it creates imaginative
zones, arenas where it ventures whenever it has time or
will to do so” Taming the Restless Mind.

So many thoughts are invading my mind these days. I have been also blamed for thinking from a woman’s point of view- fighting only for a woman’s cause. But I would let all to know, I am not a Feminist. In my fiction, ‘The Fallen Love’, I fought for the protagonist Rohan Dixit. All I want to say, I can’t tutor my heart. It is my heart which decides, which way I have to sail- it is my heart which feels the pain and associates itself with pain of the masses. And these days my mind and heart both have decided not to be practical.

There are so many areas to be ventured into, but my poor desolate mind gets stationed at one point-I am not able to forget the barbarous act of the Delhi Gang Rape. Though I know this that ‘it’ is not the only heinous incident happening around us as everyday news of revolting, abhorrent, unspeakable sexual abuse on small children, especially girls are being reported. I am then made to think that these children were too small to wear any provocative dress then why they were brutally assaulted? I am not able to retrieve my numb senses which are somewhere lost in the mass pain of all the mothers beating their breasts and lamenting, waiting for justice which has lost its path in the foggy, gloomy road of offensive selfishness.

 When justice in the Delhi Gang Rape is moving at snail’s speed even with the entire country coming forward in unison to protest against the apathy of administration, Government and people on road, then how can we expect that a child being murdered and sexually assaulted in a remote corner of any remote village gets her/his justice? How can we expect the child’s mother to breathe a single sigh of relief and believe that though her child, quartered by the fangs of animals hidden in our society, has meted with fair judgment and the culprit animals have been chained and lashed publicly! But if a proposal of such kind is made i.e. to publicly hang the culprits, then the Spokesperson of Human Rights would float on the scene, saying ‘if they are animals, we can’t become one!’ Okay then sit back in the comfort zones of your home and watch your children being snatched by the demons. Don’t kill these inhuman wretches. Fight for the ‘Human Rights’ of ‘Animals’. Try to make them human and while trying to do so let the ‘so called civilized jungle of humans’ breed more such animals to devour the innocents.

By deeds such culprits are hard core animals but when the time of justice comes, they are either ‘A Juvenile’ or ‘A Human’ who can’t be punished in full view of public. In fact they can’t be even given the punishment which they deserve due to their criminal pervert acts as they are juvenile!

We all expect a mother to brave the words of her dying daughter. The brave daughter  told her how the juvenile animal had inserted and pushed a rod into her up till her ribs, yanking it out with her intestines, lecherously shouting ‘mar saali’! This mother only wants justice, no money, nothing else! This mother’s mind fails to understand that how can a person doing such deed be a child?? She asks us all this question and huddles under old blanket in a cot. But we are humans and we have to behave like one! And even if animals rape and kill our children, the law expects us to be patient, calm and behave like humans and lets the Juveniles behave like animals!

We all know that law can be changed but only if those in power want to change…. The discussion is going on… The talks are going on… We are just silent Spectators, waiting and watching. Watching when breaths of all the grieving mothers would come to halt….with justice…or with long wait laced with injustice becoming their graves….

Delhi gang rapeprotest against rape in IndiaProtest march in FaridabadRashmi singh

“Sarfaroshi kee tamanna ab humaare dil mei hai
Dekhna hai zor kitna bazu-e-katil mei hai”

Yes the youth of Faridabad city came on the roads to protest against the system, the administration and against the inhumanly rape of Delhi, chanting these lines.

I was witnessing the Protest Rally against the brutal Delhi Gang Rape, organized by the youth of different schools of Faridabad. The rally started sharp at 4:00p.m. and it was a pleasant surprise to see the boys marching in huge number with the girls. The anger of the youth leapt like uncontrolled flame. Just then someone shouted, “This is Haryana, so we must first think of Haryana- let the Punjab people think of Punjab and so on”. I was dumbstruck and wanted to retaliate but before I could say anything, a boy shouted, “We are Indians and want our girls safe all over the world”. This time my heart welled up with pride! Half the battle against injustice was already won with the youth knowing their responsibility.

But then at the same time I was forced to contemplate while marching ahead with them, ‘Where are we going wrong? Why are we breeding animals in guise of humans? Who is responsible for it? Mental marathon is being done by many thinkers, philosophers on this and  ‘parents’ and  ‘school’ are being ‘zeroed at’ as the answer for the same. It is believed that the parents and the teachers should nurture the minds of the children in a positive way, so we do not breed criminals. If the guardians are abusive and are continuously torturing women at home naturally the children will also learn all this!  In India this kind of environment is very common, as Himani Mittal of Nach Baliye of Sector 14, Faridabad says, “I came for the Protest Rally because I somehow feel that there are many more Damini’s who are dying and being tortured everyday”.

 But it is believed that the guardians too sometimes fail in streamlining their children. What about those who are school dropouts- who do not listen to their parents? What about such people? I too was  little stuck up to find the answer, but today’s Street Play against injustice gave me my answer- There are so many N.G.O’s in India, many are run by government aid. These N.G.O’s can come up with such plays to guide and enlighten people- such people who never go to school. This evening I saw how masses respond to such plays and dramas..

But the most important thing is this that the daughters of this country have to lead a fearless life! We have to make the administration realise that we do not want any more of this sh**.  I am sorry for this language but it is high time the administration and police realise that such incidents are not mere incidents. It is high time the various political parties fighting on issues like ‘Reservation’ etc fight to amend the constitution so the daughter of India- The Fighter Damini, gets her justice! Justice, so that any Rapist before committing such heinous crimes would think twice that they could be hanged for their vile and animal play in city of humans! Or at least castrated as many of the students this evening demanded!

Delhi gang raperape in IndiaRashmi singhThe Psychic Psychos

Today, suddenly in the class, one girl, of D.P.S. Faridabad stood up and asked me. “Ma’am why we are demanding justice only in this case? Why not for all the 600 rape cases committed in the buses of Delhi?” I did not know at that time whether her facts and figures were correct or incorrect but I was certainly dumb! I had no answer. But I collected my senses, as being a teacher I had to give an answer- an answer which should seem little feasible. I replied, “Probably because we are finally coming to this realization that after all we are not animals but humans!” And to my disbelief she agreed.

Lately I have been getting mails of psychic men who think that I should refrain from writing on topics which are highly debatable and can actually lead me to trouble! According to them, I am trying to invite unnecessary problems. I should, they say, continue doing what I was doing- write novels and very unashamedly the said person has written I should explicitly harp on the sex scenes to make the books more sale able. I was stunned at the audacity of this animal existing in our society in a guise of a man! When the entire nation is crying over the barbarous act of a bus driver and his mates in Delhi, this man is trying to derive pleasure by virtually trying to thwart a woman mentally.

Actually the email had gone into the ‘spam’ of my id. Today, I casually checked the junk box, and I got to read something which was shameful to the hilt. He had tried all possible means to hurt me but I being a seasoned Writer and a Counselor could easily sense his motive- motive to hurt me!

The ‘feeling of supposed hurt’ probably gave him a ‘feel of superiority’ for sure as I had blocked him on all my personal pages, but he continues making different id’s and keeps landing on them. But this made me to realise ‘Yes! He is the one. He is the one who should be dragged out and publicly hanged!’ Probably my outburst of emotion was a direct repercussion of the Gang Rape of Delhi. The girl’s condition, we all know is unimaginably, unbearably painful. I cannot sleep at nights thinking what will after all happen to her? Even if she survives, what about her mental state? We all know this that ‘it is she and she only who has to suffer throughout her life’ But still I am praying for her speedy recovery though I am also dying in parts with her.

There have been many incidents in our country earlier too but still we just talk/shout and forget!  In this case it is said that since the criminals were from slums and uneducated, hence they committed such ‘rarest of the rare rape’. But what about the women who everyday at their workplaces, homes and at other places of importance are being subjugated to sexual perversions. Some survive and some die…

No one can put a stop to third rated porn sites but certainly we all can counsel and train our children. It is not only the children of slum who need sex education and awareness. The children of affluent societies should also be made aware of the repercussion of inhumanly deeds and that money of their parents can in no way be a savior if they, only to satisfy their whims and fancies lay hands on any woman- their parents’ money can in no way make them escape the punishment they deserve of their heinous crimes-. All should have fear- fear of law.

It has been almost three days of the brutal gang rape and I have been dying mentally bit by bit thinking about the psychic onslaughts of psychos and in all this a message floated in my inbox describing the physical condition of the girl and asking justice for her. After reading it I could not sleep, eat or think coherently. The message said, entire her life the Doctors say the victim will have to depend on her parents’ to feed her as her intestines had faced serious damage and has been taken out -but only if she survives. Nobody till now has seen such barbarous act. I am suppressing my tears though at the same time I know, I have to smile, look good, cook and do other necessary things of life, as life has to move and it will move… with India playing cricket with England, Modi reveling at his victory- everything once again will come back to track except the girl’s parents’ life.. her life..

THE VOICE OF THE YOUTH

Rashmi Singh Writes a Letter to the Prime Minister

The Voic

• Email
• S

Respected Prime Minister Ji,

When ‘The Viewpaper’ asked me to put forward my views/suggestions for the improvement of our country, which were to be sent to you, I had instantly agreed. But to be very frank, sir, I very comfortably forgot, as a very common feel had come over me.

‘Is going to make any difference in our lives?’ 

But, after getting a call from The Viewspaper and sensing the seriousness in the tone, I felt slightly ashamed at not taking up the issue seriously and in fact doubting the sincerity of the ‘de facto’ Leader of our country – doubting if he would be able to make any changes in any way, but now with great hope, faith and changed heart, I am writing to you…

To be very frank, sir, I am very junior to you in all respects – age wise, experience wise and knowledge wise, but yes, I know that I have been given the Freedom of Speech and Expression by our esteemed and highly respected Constitution. Lately, though, the IT Act 66A has left me very confused and baffled. Hence, while writing this letter, I feel a very different kind of feeling overpowering my senses. Would my views be taken in accordance with our Constitutional rights or seen as going against the country? The country for which are ready to do anything – the country where we feel free to lead a ‘free life’ and in my blogs, I have been constantly writing that the success of my write-ups is because of my country’s Constitution, which gives me this right to do so.

I am very bold in expressing my thoughts and going against what I feel is incorrect but the recent Palghar arrests and that of Aseem Trivedi has left me languishing, breaking the flow of my pen, because I do not want my family to be disturbed just because I wrote something somewhere.

In December 2011, an effort was made by IT and Communication Ministry to tame the social networking sites in the name of ‘code of conduct’. As a result, such sites were painted against this act. I think that, the final result has left all gasping at the unbelievable arrests and torture.

We have many serious issues to be discussed like ‘Gas Cylinder Distributions’, elections, poverty, rupee devaluation, experimentation with education, Khap Panchayats, scams, and the icing on the cake is Corruption!

Here is just one question; I would like to ask sir as my low brain is not able to reach ‘the definition of corruption?’ Sir, I am really confused as I very well know that even the Class 1 officers of this country have to walk on the path of half starvation if he leads a strictly honest life. Some are slightly dishonest and some are massively dishonest! A decent house/flat, maintaining a decent car, sending two children to a good school, occasional visits to restaurants/movies, good clothes, nutritious food, medicines, higher education, phone/computer expenses and many other borderline needs/necessities cannot be maintained in the salary received and here starts their entrance into the vicious circle of corruption.

But PMji, this is also not my concern. My real concern is WHY HAVE THE MINISTERS WORKING UNDER YOU BECOME SO VERY INDEPENDENT AS THEY TAKE UP ISSUES AS THEIR PERSONAL GAME?

I request you Sir, kindly strictly supervise your Ministers and chain them, so they do not take up ‘Mantralyas as their Maykas.’

I would be really thankful Sir, if you look into the Common Man’s problems and to some extent it can be achieved if the ‘Taming of the Ministers’ are done.

Thank you.

Yours Sincerely,

Rashmi Singh

BDSM, MOMMY PORN AND FIFTY SHADES OF GREY!

"Ma'am, why don't you pick up this book?", the Book seller lifted up a grey colored covered book, with a picture of shiny knotted tie printed on it. I took the book in my hands and flipped through some of its pages. 

"Ma'am, this is one of the bestsellers and very popular among women. This is the last copy left with me. Rest all sold to ladies", he said giving a broad mysterious smile. 

It was not that I had not heard of the book, but somehow, something stopped me from buying it- perhaps it was the dearth of time. "Its alright, I will buy some other time", I gave a sweet smile to him but when I came back home, I was little confused if I had done the correct thing. By the way, I have till now not read the book yet but yes, I have 'googled' about it and read its content, its reception and all the controversies attached to this book.

After this incident I became heavily busy in my other activities  and completely forgot about the most controversial and sale able fiction of the year! But it again came back into my life as one day as I was talking to my nephew on phone. He is an avid reader and travels a lot. Reading thus has become his pastime when on flights and as I am an author, he discusses almost all the novels he reads. The 'talk'  eventually halted at the book 'Fifty Shades Of Grey' and what he told me was interesting! The book was almost a 'soft porn' and mainly liked and bought by women! I instantly recalled what  few months back the Bookseller had told me grinning broadly! So this was what he was hinting at! I got the key to the lock of his wide mysterious smile! So the big grin was because of  common women liking sex very openly!

Well, it should be have been a point of extreme joy that at least women are liking sex and are openly coming forward by buying the book and relishing the read! But I  was at least not happy! 

Why? Because of the realization that why only men are blamed as enjoying sex and howled at for this. The surveys have proved that 'Mommies' actually enjoy kinky sex more than men! The pundits of Book Trade Business have predicted that ladies really like BDSM i.e. "Bondage and Discipline, Sadism and Masochism".

I am really baffled and I am convinced that man is actually an animal! And BDSM satisfies his/her animal sexual ways..

I was also upset because for me love and sex have been no less than worship but the sale of Fifty Shades... has really left me baffled!!!

Or perhaps this is so because a woman's subjugation over the years have lead her to fantasize about having a top position in sex! What say mommies?

Rashmi.
