I love seeing a project come to fruition. 🎧 . Over the past few weeks, I’ve been working on a commissioned poem for @raggededgeproductions, inspired by conversations with & between residents of Ewanrigg estate in Maryport. . This poem was then recorded by local climbing legend Bomber Thompson, and interspersed between a programme of audio of music & conversation by the wonderful Stefan Escreet - to create an Audio Adventure, which wound around the streets of Ewanrigg, while members of the community created visual performances along the route. . The project was loads of fun to be a part of, and I can’t wait to share it with everyone when the performance goes online in the near future! . (And thank you to @lorencafferty for the photo!) . #poetrycollections #amwritingpoetry #amreadingpoetry #lgbtwriter #queerwriter #wordswordswords #booklifeisagoodlife #iwroteabook #bibliophilelifestyle #igreader #readapoem #writersofinstagram #writersofinstagramcommunity #novelists #novelistsofinstagram #whatareyoureading #whatareyoureadingnow #northernbookbloggers #northernwriters #writingplace #ruralarts #writerinspiration #writerinstagram #walkingtheatre #audiotheatre #artscumbria https://instagr.am/p/CeRijUsscOM/

Do Deities really Curse the human-beings?

I got a WhatsApp message, today morning, which shook me, as I then only, could realise, the extent to what low levels one could think and sadly about a primitive or medieval mindset or the thinking too, of that particular person, whom I thought to be a very seasoned one and well educated (by education I only mean university degrees).

Though, the contents of message didn’t surprise me, which are only an outcome, based on some religious beliefs, because of which women in our patriarchal society are considered second grade, inferior and impure, despite worshiping the Deity of Power-Maa Durga or Maa Kali or Maa Chandi, Deity of Wealth & Prosperity- Maa Lakshmi and Deity of Wisdom & knowledge- Maa Saraswati or Maa Sharda.

Why we blame any other religion or a society, when our own backyard is rotting with such illogical mindsets and thinking!

The WhatsApp message read as:

“Why corana is more in Kerala.

It is the curse 🤬 of Lord Ayyappa.

If allowing ladies into sabarimala is stopped corana will vanish”.

My reply to him was:

“Please stop developing such wrong notions and stop spreading such rumours!

No deity is human so no deity has the nature and behaviour of a human-being of jealousy, hatred, or vengeance.

Therefore no deity including Lord Aayappa would curse anyone!”

Ultimately, with an illogical and unscientific thinking or mindset, our thought process gets corrupted and we end up discriminating against people on the basis of caste, skin colour, creed, religion or region and in this case on the basis of gender.

Here I am reminded of the preachings of Sikh Guru Amar Dass ji, who preached for community langar (kitchen) without any discrimination about the caste and creed, the liberation of women from the practices of purdah (wearing a veil) as well as strongly preached against the practice of sati (Hindu wife burning on her husband's funeral pyre).

Guru Amar Das also disapproved of a widow remaining unmarried for the rest of her life.

The Sikh Gurus preached and banned this custom of purdah and Sikhs are strictly prohibited from practising this custom.

In fact the advent of Sikhism appeared a liberating force in Indian society. Affirmation of the dignity of the human being, male as well as female, was central to Guru Nanak’s teaching. He had for women especially, many words of gratitude to say.

In this respect, verses from Asa ki Var, when roughly translated in English, read as:

“Of woman are we born,

of woman conceived;

to woman engaged,

to woman married.

Women are befriended,

by woman is the civilization continued.

When woman dies, woman is sought for.

It is by woman that the entire social order is maintained.

Then why call her evil of whom are great men born?”

So why call her bad? From her, kings are born.

From woman, woman is born; without woman, there would be no one at all.

— Guru Nanak, Raag Aasaa Mehal 1, Panna 473

While many faiths abhor menstruating women, the only saving grace comes in the form of Sikhism. According to Guru Nanak Dev, a mother’s blood is necessary for human life and is therefore sacred, rather than impure.

In Hindu religion or Indian mindsets women are regarded as impure during periods and immediately after childbirth .

In Sikh religion /Gurbani these female bodily functions are viewed as natural body functions and no restriction is imposed .

Rough translation of the hymn on page no. 472 of Shri Guru Granth Sahib is as below :

“If one accepts the concept of women being impure in those days ( when she goes through life giving cycle) then there is impurity in everything”,

“O Brahmin you use cow dung and wood to make your kitchen clean they are also impure as they have worms”

“So are the grains of corn , as none of these is without life”

“Even in the basic ingredient of life, water, there is life, from which everything is made green”

“How can you protect yourself /your kitchen from the (so called) impurity as all the things containing life enter into your kitchen”

“O Nanak , impurity cant be removed in this way It is washed away only by spiritual wisdom.”

For this fact alone, Sikhism is the most woman-friendly of all the world’s patriarchal religions.

That we still believe in such regressive beliefs, as nursed and displayed by not only my friend who sent me the above referred message, but also many other people of orthodox mindset, is a sign that humans haven't evolved much from their medieval and troglodytic past.

I’m not sure what to call this one. Perhaps “Open Hearts,” but that feels like the title to a different poem. I keep looking back at the phrase “yous aside from you” and smiling. Sometimes a combination of words is just delightful. #writersofinstagram #writer #poetry #writers_den_ #writerscommunity #writers #writersofig #writersofinsta #writersofinstagrampoetry #writersofinstagramcommunity #poetrycommunity #poetrylovers #poems #poem #freeform #secondperson #poemsofinstagram #poemsofig #poemsofinsta #heart #openheart #writing #writerpride #writerswrite https://www.instagram.com/p/CFgQJq3HPCq/?igshid=pn4vrtx2ergo

// as the story progresses, the chapters get harder to write. Not because of not enough hours in the day (well, that too) but because the story lacks conflict 😐 // ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ It has been like that for days. And, I'm stuck at Chapter 7. Not knowing what to write or what to do next in that chapter. I let it sit for a while, maybe an idea will come to me later. But no spark of ideas came. Did some research to add more value to the scene. But... ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ...a thought sprang out: this is the FIRST draft. It doesn't need to have a lot of layers in the first round. It can be a one layered cake. Get the ingredients ready. Prepare the measurements. Test them out. It doesn't have to be fancy. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ [ w r i t i n g u p d a t e ] So far, I have added 3,525 words in #TheGlassKingdom since the last update. It's progressing slowly and that's alright. It can be a simple cake first. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ What do you do when your story lacks conflict? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ [ tags ] #writingsoul #writergirls #writingstories #writerscommunityofinsta #poetsofinstagramcommmunity #inspirationquotesandsayings #amwritingnow #authorlifestyle #writerslifes #writersofinstagrams #writerstogether #writersofinstagra #writersofinstagramcommunity #writersunited #authorsjourney #writergram✒️ #writers_creed #writingcommunityofinsta #poetrycommumity #bawritinglife #writingbuddies #soontobeauthor #writinginprogress #amdrafting #nerdcommunity #poetrysocietyofinstagram #poetryloversunite #postitivethinking #writersconnect (at Tambun, Perak, Malaysia) https://www.instagram.com/p/B9mD3J-gyb5/?igshid=155lkoyt0p4p8

🍁SNIPPET SATURDAY - EVOKING EMOTION🍁 Here is my Saturday snippet for today: My sight blurred, and a lump formed in my throat. Questions bombarded my mind, making me wonder why everything had been kept from me. These issues hung over my head like the Sword of Damocles. One false step and 𝘴𝘸𝘰𝘰𝘴𝘩. Which emotion is my MC Neve feeling? 🤔 Guess in the comments below!💛👇 🍁🍁🍁 #writingcommunity #bookstagram #writerscommunity #bookstagrammer #writerspocket #writercommunity #bookstagrammers #writingcommunityofinstagram #bookstagramcommunity #communityofwriters #bookstagrammersunite #bookstagramchallenge #yabookstagram #thewritercommunity #writersofinstagramcommunity #thewriter #thewritingcommunity #writingscommunity #books #booksofinsta #writersociety #writersconnection #writersoﬁg #writersuniverse #bookaholics #bookcommunity #writinginspiration #novemberwriterswipchallenge2021 #writingsprintsaturday #authorcommunity (at Naperville, Illinois) https://www.instagram.com/p/CWPCJOrL888/?utm_medium=tumblr

Titles are hard… Does anyone have any good tips for coming up with them? . Last year, I was lucky enough to win a Northern Writers Debut Award, to work on my first poetry collection. The Award consisted of financial support, alongside mentoring, from the incredibly Malika Booker. This weekend, I had my final mentoring session, where we spread the poems from the collection out across the floor, and dug deep into the ordering. . It’s been the most incredibly rewarding experience - productive, inspiring, and has made the manuscript shine in ways that would never have been possible without that kind of guidance & support. A huge thank you to @nwnnewwritingnorth, to @andrewpoetry for selecting me for the Award, and to @malika.booker for being the best mentor and inspiration. Now just to come up with a title… . #poetrycollections #amwritingpoetry #amreadingpoetry #lgbtwriter #queerwriter #wordswordswords #booklifeisagoodlife #iwroteabook #bibliophilelifestyle #igreader #readapoem #writersofinstagram #writersofinstagramcommunity #novelists #novelistsofinstagram #whatareyoureading #whatareyoureadingnow #northernbookbloggers #northernwriters #writingplace #ruralarts #writerinspiration #writerinstagram #northernwritersawards https://instagr.am/p/CePAyLKDby_/

I hope all my lovely writer friends are having a wonderful, productive #WriterWednesday. . I've been writing for over half of my life and the one thing I've learned is that the first draft is never going to be all you wanted it to be. Heck, I'm on draft five of my book and this thing still isn't all I want it to be. But, as Ira Glass famously says, I know I have "good taste" and I'm committed to bridging the Gap between what I have and what I know is good writing. Some of it is there already. Some of it needs a bit more polishing. . Q: How many drafts do you usually go through before your project is "done"? . In case you missed it, there's a new post up on my blog. Don't forget to check that out (link on bio). 😘 . . . #amwriting #amwritingya #amwritingnow #amwritingchallenge #amwritingfantasy #writerlifestyle #writerbrain #writingquotes #writinginspirations #writinginspirationiseverywhere #writwrsofigs #writersofinstagrams #writersofinstagram #writersofinstagramcommunity #writergirl #writergirls #writergram #wordstoremember #wordsofinspiration #writingmotivation #wordlover #wordquote #writeeverydamday #writersclub #writersworld #writers_den_ #nathanielhawthorne
