Gaddafi’s Harem By Annick Cojean

Gaddafi’s Harem By Annick Cojean



This book will, for sure, is going to bring tears in your eyes. The book is horrific account of life of a little school girl Soraya, who was one of the latest addition to Gaddafi Harem. She suffered endless torture, rape and abuse by Gaddafi and his militia. 

Annick in this book bring to fore the disturbing suffering of females of Libya during reign of Gaddafi. 

Even after elimination of Gaddafi, things are not under control, or rather it has become more worse. Today, Syria has collapsed and refugees are fleeing to Europe looking for greener pastures and to have a decent re-start to their life. All this, I personally feel, started by west and developed nations who created these militia's for their own political motives against other developed nations, and now see what we all are getting as a ‘Return Gift’. 

I do not know, where we all are heading to, but I do not see bright and peaceful survival for our generations to come. 

I also fail to understand where is UN and where are Human Rights Activists, and why no one could contain what is going on in Libya, Egypt and Sirya. I think, time has come to scrap United Nations and a new robust and effective Organisation could be established…just a wishful thinking. 

Read this book…not as novel, but as a true account of sufferings of girls from this part of the world. 

I pray to God (which one… I am also confused…there are so many… Hindu, Buddhist, Sikh, Christian, Islam, Jew, Parsi…list is endless) to put all these sufferings to an end and let all live in peace and harmony…..  I know… arms manufacturers must be praying otherwise. 

Anyway, give it a read and drop your feelings and comments on my blog. Please do not criticise any religion… all are equally good and bad… its all in its implementation and following. 

I rate this book as 10/10.

I am another You- Priya Kumar (Book Review)

Image
This is a self help book written by Priya Kumar, a motivational speaker. Apparently, this is true story of author who tried to escape from the materialistic world. This book is written in the backdrop of Netherlands and Priya’s journey with shamams, ancient tribesman known for their mystic world of communicating with the spirit world. Priya takes its reader through her tough journey of learning, unlearning, and coming face to face with obstacles which made her think of running away from the world of shamams as well. But, yes, she was determined to awaken her sub-conscious mind and to understand the ways to fight with her troublesome past life. The lessons in the books are worth implementing, though they are bit difficult in real life, but atleast if we can start with say atleast ten percentile of the same, it’s worth. I must say this is indeed a great book and I strongly recommend reading the same.

A Hermit in the Himalayas: by Paul Brunton Yesterday, I concluded reading this book. Paul in this book is simply describing his experience of staying in Himalayan region of Tehri and other nearby places. Through this book author is trying to explain you yogi’s principle of staying alone in the state of meditation, rejuvenating oneself and then go back to the world and face it with all new strength and vigour. He is also trying to explain the that one in his lifetime need some time to explore oneself and talk to the inner soul and nature and seek guidance.  The author, takes you to his Himalayan journey in simple manner and explains you what majestic Himalayas can offer you. There are certain important teachings in the book, my favourite being:  “ Nature is the mother of every man aspiring towards truth, peace, and happiness, yes, and will help him….but the child which wants to stay for ever in the safety of its mother’s lap will never become a real adult- Paul Brunt

Women Against War: Personal Account of Forty Japanese Women

Women Against War: Personal Account of Forty Japanese Women This book is compiled by the Women’s Division of Soka Gakkai, Japan. This is a compilation of personal account of sufferings of forty women of Japan who witnessed blood bath of the World War II. These women came out to share their personal account of horrors of war, and wish this never ever happen again. After reading these forty stories, I now really know what “war” means and what it delivers….  We all must have read about war/military conflicts in newspapers or books but never ever have had a chance to read or listen personal account of people who had to face it day and night.   All these forty stories will definitely bring tears and a feeling of sadness. These are only forty selected stories of sufferings, but I am sure that there are so many similar stories around the world that never get reported or reach our ears.  I am sure lot many souls must be dying to share their stories of sufferings during p
