Book Review # 116 Left Untold: Vydehi Paravada

Blurb:

The word "girl" still sends negative vibes across the mindsets. Why should the so called developed society still have gender discrimination? What if a girl is born and brought up with zeal to live her dreams? Why can't a girl have a sensible love story, emotions, dreams and a fruitful career? How would a determined girl succeed in her life?
Yes, every girl does have an untold story in her life. This is a sensible journey of a girl from the womb to the tomb. Every girl expects a soul mate who can fade away her untold story and sinks her life in the ocean of happiness and freedom of thoughts.

Clearing all the diplomatic confusions, this story sails you through the realistic thoughts.


"Few wounds never bleed they just give us pain. And these scars are meant to remind them. Such chronic and desperate scars."

Such a bold and very apt statement. Sums up almost all our feelings.


My Take 

A very interesting take on a girl's life. The way her transition from a girl to a women is explained is commendable. A beautifully crafted tale that every girl would connect to, would argue all the boys/ men to read.  

Lot of untold emotions a girl feels are expressed very boldly. Their efforts to fit in the society, live life on their own terms and carving a niche in the otherwise men dominating society makes it a compelling read. I loved the way the feminism part is explained. It's not that we thrive to challenge everything just that we also are a part of the society as a large and can be the ones making rules.

Its time the old tainted glasses to be removed and see women in a different perspective. Its time the society start answering the questions we pose.  A ode to all the wonderful women who multitask, manage home ,kids, give up their dreams, chase their dreams, lead and make their decisions, follow and accept the choices of their families.

Do read this ladies. It has something we all connect to. I would rate this 5/5
