The Socrates Method and Other Contemporary Short Stories: Truth Is Stranger Than Fiction

Beschreibung

Take everything you know about an Indian woman and then throw it away. The women portrayed here are feisty, brave, ambitious and challenge the existing norms. You cannot box them with societal labels and curb their individuality.These women are like you and me aspiring to be extraordinary. These women are like you and me battling everyday oppression. These women are like you and me, not having the perfect answers, but searching for a workable solution. These women are just like you and me, who do not have the benefit of hindsight while making a decision. These women are just like you and me, who face situations that give them no other option than being strong.They are contemporary Indian women who want to have it all, while battling insurmountable challenges. If they are assaulted, they do not rest until they get justice. If they want to find the perfect lover, they do not hesitate to use technology to help them out. If they see an extra-marital affair, they protest. If they face cybercrime, they expose the hacker. If they are cowed down by office politics, they strike back. If they face domestic violence, they act to protect themselves. They convince their parents about their offbeat career choices, all the while starting their own companies.A wise person once said, every fictional story is inspired by true events.
