In this book, Sinhala king Dattha Gamini starts off where he left in the previous novel of series.

Dark characters attract. The grey shades that we want to avoid, the traits that we dread, have their appeal. Thomas Cromwell, in Tudor-ruled England, was one such character who is at the centre of Hilary Mantel’s recent novel, Bring Up the Bodies.

Ananya first came to me because she wanted to study Psychology and wanted to meet me regarding the same. I had seen her in some of my psycho educational groups and she was a born leader. Jovial, vivacious, friendly were some of the words her group members used to describe her. Ananya came across as an extremely bright child but I started to see signs of restlessness in her eyes when we spoke about anxiety provoking topics like abuse and trauma.

Menopause. The word technically means an end to a woman’s reproduction capabilities. And a lot more physically. So your baby making days are over. Estrogen production stops, making your bones brittle. That also makes your heart as prone to heart attacks as a male who has less of the same harmone. It gives you those hot flashes. And…. the list goes on. Of course, all this is bound to depress you.

By Abhay Apte Advocate There is always some breaking news about a new law relating to women getting enacted or some existing law being amended. Topics like live-in relationship, domestic violence, property rights are then hotly debated. Such new provisions are at times looked upon as a magic wand, to eradicate all the injustice.
