Being a working mother, I had to rely on domestic help to take care of my baby. I had taken special care to teach her about hygiene and diaper routine. Since I stay in a region that is known for extreme weather conditions, it was critical that there is absolutely no negligence.

Not knowing what to do can render a new mother completely helpless – and I was no exception to this situation. This is what I did to overcome the nightmare.

Women are wonderful creatures. Enigmatic and alluring. When they become an artist's muse, the charisma is multiplied manifold. Women, as characters in books, have been fantasized, admired and even envied. Some of them have come out of the bounds of books and become almost real. I bring to you 5 such women who are creation of an author's imagination but they seem to narrate their story in a voice of their own.

Hopelss Bibliphile…that’s me. Totally incurable, almost on the verge of addiction. In spite of having faced a lot of ridicule, ire and downright disregard, I don’t seem to learn a lesson. I have given up on myself. I LOVE BOOKS. Period. From chacha choudhary comics to Enid Blyton’s Famous Five and Secret Seven. From Byomkesh Bakshi to Sherlock Holmes. From Jim Korbett to Kenneth Anderson. From Rabridranath Tagore’s Gora to Shivaji Savant’s Jaanata Raja. Arthur Hailey, Sidney Sheldon, Munshi Premchand , Karan Bajaj, Nadia Hashimi, Ravi Subramanium, Khaled Hosseini….and the list goes on. Written in Hindi, English, Marathi. I just can’t seem to get enough of it. And hence, my maiden AtoZ Blogging challenge has to be around books.

Some of the weirdest myths about feminism I have come across are:

· Feminists hate men.
· They are wannabe men.
· They think they are better than men.
· Feminists should not work in the kitchen.
· Wear un-feminine clothes and shun make-up if you are a feminist
· Feminism means having sex outside of a marriage or a relationship.
· Hate everything traditional if you think you are a feminist.

And the biggest of all: We don’t need feminism.

I have been a feminist all my life….even when I was too young to spell out the word. There have been phases where I wanted to abandon the theory and surrender. But I guess being a feminist isn’t a choice. It is an attitude.
