Hope will dawn on you.



Hi
I heard yesterday a commonplace comment from a young IT professional returning from USA for a few days to Pune.
“What a rotten country is this?”
And yes, the venom was spitted on commonly perceived and agreed upon villain, the politician, and on the proved rotten systems here.
On backdrop of this irritated outbreak I wondered what inspired William Carey to leave his country in 1790 and live all his life in mud called India?
How come he migrated to India from much developed England?  Why the system could not defeat him?
And why he did never ever grumble like my beloved IT fellow?
I wished this young fellow has read my novel on William Carey.
For all of those who are sincere in their outrage for sinking India, I pray, please read this novel.
Hope will dawn on you.

The D Day is here.


The D Day is here.
My four books are now available on Kindle.
Detailed synopsis is available on Kindle website.
Here are few liners for each book.
1: My beloved darling: A booklet for a 12-13 years old girl. Mom is talking to her about oncoming menarche.
2: A Tale of Fengado: An Award winning pre-historical, pre-social novel.  When Margaret Meed a noted Anthropologist was asked, when did she declare that Human Civilization began here at that spot of excavation, she answered, when she gets a healed femur bone! It’s a story of that first ever human being named – Fengado.
3: Sentence of death: An award winning social novel. There is a similarity. When HIV destroys the God given immunity the person takes up her cross, and when the religious fanaticism destroys the  collective conscience of a  community, it starts walking towards the cross. The novel depicts this very similarity and the complex fabric of Indian middle class.
4: William Carey – a Saga: William Carey was a cobbler, with education till standard four; who came to India in 1790 against dictate of East India Company.  Carey was a linguist with working knowledge of ninety languages.  He was professor of Sanskrit, Marathi and Bengali. Carey himself taught astronomy, botany, and forestry besides, of course, languages and the Bible. He single handedly fought evil social system of sati. He was the rare person whom system could not defeat.

Here are the first 5 stars for my Book on Kindle by Tina Elders.


I am pleasantly surprised. Here are the first 5 stars for my Book on Kindle by Tina Elders.
It says
 “A Sometimes-Difficult Subject that is Well-Presented, March 28, 2012
For Moms out there who are struggling to find the words and tone to use with your daughters during this wonderful and frightening time for her, this is an excellent book“
I am thrilled.
Twenty five years back late intellectual Mrs.  Durgabai Bhagwat described  my Marathi version of this booklet  as - Adhunik Streeche Upanishad. (Scripture of a modern woman)
The booklet is short, to the point and in language a mother uses. It’s a dialogue. And it explains about menarche to 12 years old darling daughter, written as if a mom is talking to her daughter.
It also advises her to avoid sex till she gets mature enough to select a partner for her, has decided about her own career and has become self-sufficient.
I was wondering how the American, British women and their daughters take it! I was also curious whether the booklet is a necessity in the first place in such a well literate English speaking society with such a high level of school coaching with emphasis on sex education. Here in India the schools don’t teach the subject officially.
I am happy.
My drive to make girls well informed about menses has been quite a success in Marathi, with 13000 copies sold, (Normal Marathi book sells hardly 2000 copies) and now there is a flicker of hope in English press.
I am sure now after these five stars that my appeal for this booklet will be well taken by thousands of moms all over the globe.
Appeal: Intuitively every mom irrespective of her culture and country wants to advise her 13-14 years daughter the ‘chastity’. See the impact of the present culture! When I searched the word ‘chastity’ on Word thesaurus, the result was blank! BLANK.
This is how in this age of post-modernism and relativism we all are under influence of a politically correct world.
We are in difficult age.
Value based scientific information is the only answer to this dilemma. And if this information is given by mom herself, it does wonder. This booklet is meant for that!
I have a dream that this booklet will be used by girls all across the globe irrespective of her country, language and culture. I dream of every woman becoming truly independent, mature and healthy individual, totally in control of her own body, mind and spirit. Free from peer pressure for unwanted sexual relationships and fears! Free from unwanted pregnancies, STI and of course HIV!
Join in my dream. Will you?
Thanks and regards,
Dr Arun Gadre.M.D.
