Musings of a Military Maverick
‘Maverick’s Musings’ start with a tender tribute to a soul-mate. The young officer (YO) who had wooed and won the heart of a girl from an alien land shares his ‘Jab We Met’ (when we met!) moments of 1958. There was little in common between them except their humanity and core values of two ancient civilisations. They overcame impossible odds to create a relationship that lasted for 55 years. It is a heartwarming story that triggers emotions at a deeper level. The ‘episodic’ narrative then follows a linear timeline. It runs on two intertwined tracks. The personal thread follows his life from infancy to an awkward adolescence. Fortunately he finds a more confident life partner. Th...

Complaint!
In Complaint! Sara Ahmed examines what we can learn about power from those who complain about abuses of power. Drawing on oral and written testimonies from academics and students who have made complaints about harassment, bullying, and unequal working conditions at universities, Ahmed explores the gap between what is supposed to happen when complaints are made and what actually happens. To make complaints within institutions is to learn how they work and for whom they work: complaint as feminist pedagogy. Ahmed explores how complaints are made behind closed doors and how doors are often closed on those who complain. To open these doors---to get complaints through, keep them going, or keep them alive---Ahmed emphasizes, requires forming new kinds of collectives. This book offers a systematic analysis of the methods used to stop complaints and a powerful and poetic meditation on what complaints can be used to do. Following a long lineage of Black feminist and feminist of color critiques of the university, Ahmed delivers a timely consideration of how institutional change becomes possible and why it is necessary.
Thoughts and Perils of a Baby
Thoughts and Perils of a Baby shows how serious abortions are. They not only take the life of a baby but also affect the life of the woman having the abortion, the family of both parents and other people around her. An abortion not only stops a heartbeat, which starts by the second month of pregnancy, but can also possibly affect the woman for the rest of her life. Thoughts and Perils of a Baby shows there are other alternatives to abortion like adoption. I believe and show the unborn has a right to life just like we do. I use scripture and research to prove this fact. The unborn (baby) is not part of the mother's body. In some cases, the baby can have a different blood type than the mother. We are all human beings and have a right to live. In Thoughts and Perils of a Baby, I list the types of abortions and how they can affect the woman having the abortion. I list ways that some people have to use like artificial means to survive to no fault of their own. This is to show everyone has a right to life. Read this book and then come away with your own opinion. Is the unborn a baby or not?
