To overturn a ban enforced by the Government of Karnataka on the spiritual leader Maate Mahadevi’s book, Basava Vachana Deepthi. After all, scarcely a year had passed since the Madras High Court’s ruling in Murugan’s case, when the Supreme Court, which sits at the apex of India’s judiciary, refused Censorship continues to be rampant, and the judiciary still sees the right to free speech, not as a trump, but as a liberty exercisable at the sole command of the state. Now, just over a year later, it is difficult not to view the court’s verdict as anything but an aberration. Write.” This was how the Madras High Court concluded its landmark ruling in July 2016, in S Tamilselvan v The Government of Tamil Nadu, where, in question, was a ban on Perumal Murugan’s Tamil book, Madhorubagan, and its English translation, One Part Woman.

I went through and requested every book by this publisher on NetGalley. Isaiah I got an ARC in return for an honest review on NetGalley. It’s a great series for teens, on very real issues, and it’s Canadian!”- Bailey Randolph, Librarian NetGalley If you haven’t read a Sidestreets book, I highly recommend it. It’s a quick read, and very to the point, and it outlines the aftermath of the horrific event, and the healing, rather than the event itself. It tackles a very difficult issue that is very relevant in today’s society of social media and cell phones. “I love the Sidestreets series, and this book is no exception. Two years later, photos of the incident appear on social media, which has serious consequences for everyone involved. EPIC FAIL – A 14-year-old Aboriginal/Caucasian girl is raped at at party she attends with her two friends. The bringing of order to consciousness, 'control of the mind', is therefore the key to happiness. That healthy human beings find order pleasing is a clue to its intrinsic value, and to its role in the creation of happiness. He says it is best to think about the universe in terms of order and chaos (entropy). While religions and mythologies have been created to provide some security against this fact, first-hand knowledge cruelly reveals its truth again and again. The linking of the two is the essence of his theory of 'flow'.Īt a general level, the author's answer to the first question is surprisingly obvious: it is difficult to be happy because the universe was simply not built for our happiness. But in devoting his life to answering the first, Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi (pronounced 'Me-hi Chicksent-me-hiee') found that it could not be divorced from the second. Not many dare to provide answers, and fewer again are equipped to try. 'Why is it so difficult to be happy?' 'What is the meaning of life?' Whether in idleness or frustration, we all mull over these big questions. Flow: The Psychology of Optimal Experience But trouble begins in senior year with a slowly growing attraction between Zach and Lexi, who take great pains to make Mia comfortable with the change in the dynamics. The friendship flourishes, and Mia's mother, Jude, relieved and pleased for her daughter, draws Lexi into the family circle. Despite financial problems, the two are glad to have found each other, and though Lexi resolves to stay safely on the periphery at her new high school, she soon meets Mia, unhappy and awkward despite a solid family life, a loving twin brother, Zach, and a closetful of clothes. After a string of foster homes and the death of her heroin-addict mother, Lexi Baill is taken in by a newly discovered great-aunt who lives a spartan life near Seattle. Hannah follows up Winter Garden with a strained story of friendship, social pressures, love, and forgiveness. Art by Indian tribal artist Subhash Vyam from his book Water. “Like all profound mysteries,” the Scottish poet and mountaineer Nan Shepherd wrote as she regarded the might and mystery of water, “it is so simple that it frightens me.” Across the Atlantic, contemplating the ocean as a lens on the meaning of life, the poetic marine biologist Rachel Carson reverenced Earth’s waters as a portal to comprehending “our place in the stream of time and in the long rhythms of the sea… in which there is no finality, no ultimate and fixed reality.”Ī generation after her, Ellen Meloy (June 21, 1946–November 4, 2004) - another uncommonly lyrical observer of the natural world, who channeled the native poetry of its processes and phenomena in her perceptive prose - celebrated water as a portal to transcendence in a passage from The Anthropology of Turquoise: Reflections on Desert, Sea, Stone, and Sky ( public library) - the slender masterpiece that came to life months before her untimely death. “Every story is a story of water,” the Native American poet Natalie Diaz wrote in her stunning poem “lake-loop.” Water is central to the creation myths of every indigenous culture, central to Bruce Lee’s metaphor for resilience, central to the pulse-beat of life on this Pale Blue Dot. They don’t want her to have to become a laborer like them, at the mercy of fickle customers. Being a young Korean-American girl, Yumi isn’t confident that people will connect with jokes about her most awkward moments, and she also worries that putting her “flaws” front and center will go against her parents’ teachings to always put her best foot forward.Īt the same time, the story challenges the stereotypes concerning “tiger parents” and “strict Asian upbringing.” While Yumi’s parents are hard on her, it’s because they want a better future for her. This book really explores comedy as a space for vulnerability, where comedians share intimate parts of their personal lives as a means to connect with the audience, using storytelling to both heal from and make sense of their experiences. As an aspiring comedian, Yumi fears there isn’t enough room on stage for her own experiences and stories to shine-because when all is said and done, comedy is really just another form of storytelling. Stand Up, Yumi Chung! is a heartfelt story all about family and self-discovery. He’d hoped that this weekend at the school both he and Jill plan to attend in the fall would give them a chance to have alone time together and have her see him as something other than just friend material. Which is making Jack’s tour of Whittier College especially painful. He almost made class valedictorian, he would have been the school mascot if another boy hadn’t executed a far superior somersault, and his best friend Jill (Jillian) would be his girlfriend if his other best friend Franny (Francisco) hadn’t asked her out first. Combining a touch of the movie About Time with a little bit of The Fault in Our Stars and a heaping helping of charm, Opposite of Always is a story about true love that examines all the things we discover on our way to happily ever after.Īt the start of our story, Jack King tells us he is an expert on “just missing out”.
