The households in India have been run by women primarily, following the centuries old tradition. From taking care of the child's breakfast to ensuring that the mother in-law's morning cup of tea is served on time, it is always the woman of the household. She is a wife, a daughter, a daughter in-law, a mother.... But who is she in reality? Mrinalini. The name was abruptly forgotten the moment she stepped into the Acharya household as a married woman. She became Mrinal for her husband, Bouma (daughter in-law) for her in-laws and other elders, Boudi(sister in-law) for her brothers in-law and Mrs. Acharya or Acharya Boudi for outsiders. Her identity was forgotten as she gradually accepted her duties as a married woman, as a daughter in-law and as someone who was expected to sacrifice. Their home wasn't a mansion or even a bungalow. There were financial constraints and there were challenges like every other middle class home. Not everything was easily available, apart from that one thing that was abundant and pravalent: PATRIARCHY She was taken for granted like most women in India are. Maybe there was love, maybe there was no mistreatment yet Mrinalini felt the walls around her constricting on her and causing her asphyxiation. This is the story of a bird compelled to live in a locked, golden cage... Will she ever liberate herself and fly? ... Dedicated to all the Indian mothers and women and to women all around the world who dedicated their entire lives to raise their children, to give love and to be selfless. ... This story doesn't aim to hurt or offend anyone's thoughts or sentiments. This is a work of pure fiction that came to my mind after watching the Bengali movie, 'Mukherji da r Bou'. The concept and the story and the characters explored in the story are all going to be my creation and my own original ideas. No plagiarism intended or supported. My work is copyrighted

It was two months after The Battle of Hogwarts. Many had lost their lives. Families were torn apart. The wizarding world was in mourning. But. Suddenly, as if the very forces of life and death had heard the unsaid plea, people were coming back. Back. To. Life. Every member of the light side who had been murdered by Voldemort and his army of Death Eaters were coming back. Wasn't it known that no spell can reawaken the dead? Then how? How were people long dead walking the Earth very much alive? Was it a gift ? A gift for finally ridding the Wizarding World of Voldemort? Or was it because a certain someone was the Master of Death?

Everyone has a story to tell. A story no one has ever heard. A story that someone is definitely willing to read. In this book, I write short stories that I couldn't find anywhere else to put. A figment of my imagination or a part of my soul? Who could tell? ~ Started on: February 4th, 2019 Ended on:

"I don't want to become a mother." This line is a taboo for women in some parts of the world, and so was for Khusi Mukherjee. At the age of 25, independent and single, she wanted to live her life according to her rules. But everything changed when she met Bhaskar Goswami, a potential groom selected by her mother. They met, talked, liked each other and got married. Sounds like happily ever after, isn't it? But no, there's a small twist to it. Khusi never wanted to bear a child, and that's what made her a pariah in Indian society. Will Khusi be able to endure the pressure of her decision? Will she keep her head high and stick to her beliefs, or bend to the social norms? What will happen when Bhaskar comes home one day, with an absurd proposition and a revelation, that could change Khusi's life all together? She has to face the biggest challenge of her life, her husband's child. What new surprises and people awaits her, and would it be for good or will it shatter her forever?
