BOOKS (cont)

11. GENE, CROMOSOMS AND DNA & Y CROMOSEMS.

This book re-enforces the theory that there are no indigenous crop of people as some self-centred nationalists argue. The author mentioned the multi origin theory, which justified racial differences. He also mentions the Sino centric ideas propagated by some Chinese scientists. But the author is ignorant of the claims made Hindutva brigade like Bhagwan Gidvani, B.B.Lal and their like that there was separate home lands of Hindus in India. However, their period goes back only to 10,000 years BCE. Wells in this book points that the people of South India were the earliest arrivals through the sea coast from South East Africa who then reached Andaman and Australia in those far off time 50,000 to 60,000 years. The major parts of the North Indians are subsequent arrivals 15,000 to 20,000 years. His statements hints at the possibility that the Harappans and so called Aryans were of one gene stock but immigrants in historical times. Among all the books read recently, The Journey of The Man is most important and magnificent. Wells’ language is tough being scientific but that is due the subject and one should not complain. In the group of number of treatises on the oneness mankind this one is the latest incorporating evidences from genetic researches, paleontology, archaeology and linguistics. However, genetic evidences are central to it.

This book needs to be disseminated more widely in all our languages. But without a basic scientific bend and background the theme of this book may not get sufficient appreciation. This is an antidote against all religious fundamentalisms propagated here.

12. INTERPRETER OF MELODIES by Jhumpa Lahri, a collection of short stories. 28/29 March 2003

The book has 9 stories one being a little. A Real Darwan and The Treatment of Bibi Haldar are based in Calcutta. The remaining are on Indian diasporas bases in US. The title story narrates an NRI family on a visit to Konarak in Orissa. Why Konarak and not any other pilgrim centre? Any other also could have the effect. The story lines are from ordinary life. The American background did not make any significant effect. The infidelity of the characters in the story “Sexy” are so ordinary that no one get involved in any way. “The blessed House” though a little irrational carries a point that religion carries an emotional significance and exclusiveness in one’s life. Both in “Sex” and “Mrs.Sen” there are signs of attraction two teenaged boys and matured women. The scene gets sidelined making ambiguity to intervene.

The language used is very simple and strait. There is nothing explore by the reader except in the little story. The melodies are carried for long by Mrs. Das were strange ones. It is not clear how Mrs.Das come out with her melodies, to an absolute stranger Mr. Kapasi on the basis of the later being an interpreter to a doctor. The author left the matter to the reader to follow his/her way or mental conditioning. After all the stories may not last in our memory. For the first readers the stories might ring fresh.

13. LONGITUDE b Dava Sobel.

A popular science book. The treatise mainly deals with the significance and importance finding the location in any sea voyage far distant from land. Chronometer was the answer and equipment but it took a long time to get acceptance with mariners. This book narrates in simple language all the mysteries in the developments regarding Lunar measurements and other signs to determine location. A very useful book.

14. THE FEAST OF THE GOAT by Mario Vargas Llosa.

Translated from Spanish.

The main character in this novel is named Urania or Uranita the only daughter of Sr. Cabral a collaborator of the erstwhile dictator Trujilo of Dominical Republic. Through her, the author unfolds the last decades of the ruthless and inhuman dictatorship once patronised by the US and later abandoned. The megalomaniac rulers of the tiny republic confronted by their factional enemies sustained with little help from outside US. Only in extreme situations US sided with the people; taking care to keep any left or progressive group. Except for the narrative directly connected with Urania, the sections a large part thereof semms to be dry history. The author did not try to speak through his charectors step by step developments so as to show how Trujilo at such a young age outsmarted the political parties to reach high in the ladder. The history of such dictators in Latin America are legion.

15. LIVES TO TELL A STORY byLewis Thomas.

This book reads like a science fiction but is not one. It is a popular account of the researches and discoveries connected with basic biology. A solitary cell goes on several lives by deviding endlessly. Cells get organised in such a way that it turns into living organism. The articles collected here are more than three decades old still reading them gives fresh insight about biological processes and facts.

16. IAP book on Sabarimala.

Joseph Idamarugu a formost atheist thinker and founder Indian Atheist Publishers and head of Indian Atheist Association, Delhi, authored it. The book sums up many stories and facts found by historians about the temple and beliefs connected with it. Many myths are demystified such as sighting an eagle rounding the sky above Pandalam Palace before the procession with jewels starts to Sabari Mala. Since most of the forests surrounding the place cleared in the course of time sighting eagle is very rare. But some one shouts that he did sight an eagle though no one else did see it. This is done in order to start the procession in time to reach the temple far away. There is connivance of the authorities in the phenomena of sighting the “Makara Jyothy” in the night horizon above the hills. Some kind of fire work is time to light up the horizon by few devotees permitted by the authorities. Blind faith is sustained by using such magical turns for decades. However, I feel that the writing needs much more deeper dwelling on the superstitions surrounding Sabari Mala.

(The legend is that a chieftain or king of Pandalam a very small region in Kerala prayed to gods for a heir in his family. His queen remained childless for too long. Once king went on a hunting trip as usual, found a baby boy abandoned in that forest. He took the boy as a gift of the gods and presented him to the queen to care. He was growing with lot of love and care bestowed on him. The boy was christened Ayyapan. As years passed, the queen became pregnant and delivered a boy. The love and care changed from forest boy to her own. But she was not satisfied. She expected the king to bestow the kingdom to Ayyapan. Then she pretended to be sick and restless. Ayyapan took note and asked the queen about getting some medication. She told him that her sickness would not go without taking tigress milk. It is said that Ayyapan went inside forest and brought a herd of lactating tigresses riding himself on a tiger. King, queen and all people present were astonished and prayed to Ayyapan to calm himself and protect them. Ayyapan conveyed that he has finished with the kingdom and going back to the forest. He got a friend named Bava a Muslim to accompany him and keep guard at the foot of the hill Sabai Mala.)

17. SIMBIOTIC PLANET by Lynn Marguilis.

The subject explained in this book is evolution and genetics. One is intrinsically with the other in milliards of ways. The life in earth evolved and sustains by using food (energy) and leaving waste that in turn is food for others. They go on in circles. Mutation takes place at times and it is cause for a different life mode. The earth system works in such a way that no single group living being from bacteria to man may be in apposition to overcome or destroy themselves.

The book is a little tough but readable if we grasp some of the technical terms used. For me it opened a new world. It looks that the ardent protectors of ecology and environment are carried away by self-importance or even interest. On the protection of human species, the earth itself is indifferent. Information, ideas and lessons are packed in this slim volume.

18. CRADLE TO CRADLE by Williams Mc Donough and Michael Fraungeart.

This book goes beyond many similar ones where some kind of crude and extreme naturalism are being advocated. The authors are eminently sensible to advocate re-designing all industrial and consumer products and infrastructures like homes, factories etc.etc. I would like to hope that more and more scientists, philosophers, administrators, engineers and such others start thinking to re-design everything, which ultimately ends up with redesigning our own life itself.

However, there is some doubt. Are we not interfering with nature through this re-designing? When did interfering in nature started? It is said that it started when food-gathering man started food production. But according to this book it started through intensive industrialisation. Where do we go from here? The route is perilous for my little intelligence.

19. MISMEASURE OF MAN by Stephen Jay Gould.

This is an excellent book highly engaging to one’s intelligence. Most of the central figures in the world of science in 18th, 19th and even 20th centuries were believing and propagating a theses that among god’s creation there are grades and classes that could be assessed at high, middle and low i.e inferior. The high is composed of the so called Caucasian or so called Aryans that included Western European and Hindu Indians. The never gave much importance to Indian or India. The enormity of their ignorance about Indian antiquity, history and civilization is exhibited by their Euro centered vision about every thing. Secondly, they strived to support and justify Christian religion through interpreting their discoveries in an uncritical way. They never thought, realised or acknowledged some un-parallel civilizations other ancients, some of them lost to history; when Europeans were just pagan tribes level. Even today such a mind set continues as evidenced in the American invansion of Saddam Hussein’s Iraque.

Stephen J Gould extensively deals and analyses the craze to measure human intelligence through comparing facial, sculls and brain and then differentiating people Asian, Chinese, Mangols, American Indians etc. Measuring others is to establish as fact that Western is the most superior in intelligence, rationality, inventions etc. This arrogance is clothed in perfect scientific terms backed with statistical tables ans assumed facts. Gould did not highlight the historical fact of the backwardness of the Europeans compared with Middle East and Eastern ones only a millennium earlier. Gould also extensively criticised the basics of I Q tests that were adopted and upheld by American authorities from the beginnings of 20th century going through three fourths of the century.

20. HERE’S TEETH and HORCE’S TOES

By Stephen Jay Gould.

This is the 2nd book by Stephen J Gould that I was reading on his specialised subject evolution of species. It is a collection of articles penned by the author at different times and occasions. Broadily speaking these essays are concerned with evolution as against creationism of the fundamentalist Christian clergy. These essays also try to rectify misunderstandings about Darwinian evolution as lower to higher, from simple to complex. They show up the ingrained prejudices in the minds and thinking of many scholarly personalities in the West and US who in fact otherwise contributed in an enormous measure to further and popularize scientific thinking. Those prejudices limited their conclusions, in some cases deliberately. I have heard and read about Pierre Teilhard de Chardin as a theologian and religious philosopher. Also I have read about the ‘Piltdown Man’ and how fraudulently this discovery was propagated to show and convince people about the superiority of Western specifically the Englishman. I never had the idea that these two were connected. Thanks to Gould certain things are getting clear. Similar was the court case against teaching evolution in some American schools. Gould gives reasoned and therefore a reliable version of the case in detail but did not update on the practices adopted in todays America. He pronounced about the text books he learned from his high school days. I don’t think that anyone could surpass his rigors

of rational thoughts exhibited by Gould in these collections.

My egret is that my own knowledge of English language and the subjects dealt in Gould’s books came as impediments to fully understand and absorb the fine points made out in all the arguments. Still I am convinced that reading Stephen J Gould broadened my vision and thinking and disabused certain notions that I was carrying for long. They imparted clarity of thinking in me. Stephen J Gould says that his parents were rebels and leftists in their times. He himself carried then as heredity trait in the formative years. But the matured Gould no Marxist. His stand against Lysenkoism in genetics in the then Soviet Union gives an idea about the kind of leftist ideology that he wanted to nurture. Lysenkoism crippled all scientific enquiries in the Soviet land. Unfortunately the idea propounded by Lysenkoism became a norm among all shades of Marxists. Very few escaped the fate. They fell pray to confusion and lethargy. Today there are no authentic Marxist who might be without prejudices or blemishes from the past Soviet Union.

21. CRIMSONPETAL and THE WHITE

By Micheal Faber. 15.5.2003.

This is claimed to be a historical novel, reflecting the Victorian society in the last quarters of 19th century a society reflecting through fiction. It is less of a history than a fiction. It is also well written. The starting is unconventional when it talks like guide like person in a street scene. A little later the guide is not visible. It did not affect us from continuing to read the narration. One might take offence to minute details on certain episodes without enhancing the story in any way. There are at least two scenes that do not make any value addition to the novel. The first is there at the beginning of the book itself, where the hero Mr. William follows the maid Clara with his suspicion that the maid is cheating or defrauding her Mistress Agnes, while purchasing materials from a big store. The narrator shows that the maid Clara is really a cheat but there is no follow up in the matter upto the end of the book. Then Clara was discharged from service because of the death of Mrs. Agnes. Similar is another scene much later in the story. Ms Sugar goes with the driver Cheesman to an excluded corner of the couch house and allows herself to be sexually used by the coach man, as a bribe to keep him silent about the where abouts of Sophie and herself. But when William questions the coach man the later disclaims his share of action or inaction in preventing Sugar and Sophie to leave the house and go out.

Both these and several other episodes or scenes do not contribut to smooth flow of the novel. I have no complaint that the novel gives only one or a little more of the picture of the London society during the last quarter of 19th century. We don’t expect a novel to be an comprehensive record of history of people and society.

However, it is a fact that while the educated of the society is divided as believers and non-believers in religion; the lower rungs exhibit no particular anxiety about religion. Still they are not anti-religion. Further lower classes do reject everything religious as not relevant to their present day life. . Sometime one might feel that the lower strata revel at their fate and are happy about it.

The suspense at the end of 800 and odd pages of the novel is intriguing. What happened to Sugar and Sophie? Did they redeem their future? What happens to William? The guide who was present at the beginning disappeared without giving us the full picture.

Shall we called it a post modernist novel? The novel moves smoothly from one scene to other without jerk or slip. There are no unwieldy backward and forward motions. The novel is constructed from believable and reasonable episodes during a limited period of 9 to 10 months in 1875-76 following a classical under path. But the are not sounding vulgar as appropriate words are used in depicting sexual scenes. They do not obstruct the flow of the story.

22. UNCOUPLING by Kaveri Madhavan.

This is a readable novel only for once. The story told is typically south Indian tamil. The couple are Janaki and Balu and they ae at the end of their middle age. The story prior to their present stage is given in bits and pieces though coherently. There is need to labour about connecting the threads. An uncomplicated narrative. Balu is a typical example of upper class Youngman of the 1942 struggle for independence. Youngman is not obsessed with religion and rituals leaving them to the womenfolk at home; mother, sister and wife. I still remember about this kind of society of those days. They are considered as normal to the time. Mainly arranged marriages. No sense of sexuality or understanding. The repression practiced and internalized were paraded as tradition in the land of Vatsayana, Kokkoka and several authors of Sanskrit Bhanas that could be seen as explicit sexual manuals. Even our elegies to gods and goddesses are not free from sexual expressions and picturisation. With all these backgrounds, we still imitate Victorian/Anglican morals as our own tradition. Yes, at least in one important sphere the colonialists left us believing their mores as our own. The moderns are trying to overcome this internalized Victorian moral oppression. However, our Hindutva brigades advocate and try to impose those Victorian morals in these days.

When they are confronted, “ancient” get a knockout and that is what happens to the couple in the story. They went on a holiday trip of European countries in their middle age. They become confused and unable to seek out from the bondage of “ancient”. The suppressed libido of the man bursts out when he sees public and uninhibited display of sexual objects in a Belgium street. He is mesmerized indeed. Unwittingly he caused his wife to drink. She is encouraged by a newly found Panjabi couple. The wife goes to their hotel first. The man follows much later. When he entered the room he finds his wife asleep in bed discarding much of her cloths. Her sex and breasts are naked and exposed in light. During the 30 odd years of their married life, the man never saw or tried to see his wife as naked as now. All their sex were performed in dark and covered underneath bed sheets or rugs. Now it was a revelation He imagines so many pornographic postures that he missed in the long past years but did not try anything so gross. He gets into the bed and only later in the morning, he had sex with wife. The world has changed for him. The wife while unaware of the sexual thoughts in the mind of her husband; carves out a separate path for herself. No sex at all. At the end of the tour they were separated and finally found themselves at home in Madras. The wife acquired an independent identity and started a tailoring class in the afternoons to the needy and poor girls. A stange end.

23. IN THE NAME OF DEMOCRACY

BY Bipin Chandra.

4.8.2003. Today I completed reading this book. Before requisitioning tis book I read a reviewer of it in Sunday Express. The reviewer opined that the contents of the book by Bipin Chandra are in justification of the policy and practice of the Communist arty of India towards Jayaprakash Narayan’s movement and in favour of the decleration of emergency by then Prime Minister Indira Gandhi. I don’t that it was a prejudice on the part of the reviewer but prejudgements. In abook of about 300 pages there are very few references to CPI’s policies and practices. The whole contents of the book are based on literatures accumulated so far on the subject of JP’s movement and emergency. A good lot of such literatures relied upon were too contemporary to the JP movement. Bipin Chandra examines the political positions and claims between supporters of JP movement and that of Indira Gandhi in the given context and goes on to conclude that both were too flawed. Both went on to test the endurance of their power. First JP failed but Indira also failed. Today we look back and say that the emergency was an aberration of Indian democracy. Near about three decades after emergency a retrospect of those times might help us to learn the lesson. The communal forces that were in the fringes of the Indian society assumed certain respect and got some political space in the mainstream though the JP movement and the gross character of the emergency regime. If the 20 point programme was carried through the post emergency scene would have been different. Also if the emergency was withdrawn much earlier when Indira Gandhi’s popularity was high the situation would have changed for good. But neither did happen. Inspite of the later years electoral support to Indira and thereafter to Rajiv, the communal forces did not disperse from the space occupied by them.

24. FUTURE OF FREEDOM

By Fareed Zakaria. 9.8.2003.

I have completed reading this book today. The autor tried to findout the relation between freedom and democracy going through the history mainly the Western and American. As per the author; liberty, equality and fraternity, the slogans raised during the French Revolution are the outcome of the earlier surge in creating wealth through private property laws. The slow demise of feudalism in England and then in other European countries brought into being capitalist development. It was creation of wealth by private entrepreneurs that added the momentum to manufacture. The logo of freedom, equality and fraternity were formulated in the context of rules that enforced by restrictive practices of the day. This author in fact quotes Karl Marx. This shows that even those disagree and denounce communism and its ideas has to adopt the methods and reasoning of Karl Marx in analysing the economic and social developments.

The author has divided the western world into liberal and iilliberal democracies. The American and British head the former and Russia in later. He included India in the later category with some reasoning.

Zakaria makes a case for graded development for countries that were considered as authoritarian and dictatorships. According to hm it was the dictators who adopted the idea of freedom and liberty against religious fundamentalism. He seems to be wrong to bracket all into one. Dictators in Pakistan and Bangladesh atleast were convinced fundamentalists for too long a period. In the West the early Christianity opposed the authoritarians and fought for freedom and liberty. I don’t know whether this is a correct reading of history. Even if it is true the later day Christian churches were strong supporters authoritarian kings and feudal lords.

Much of what Zakaria writes about are palatable to any reasoning person for the simple reason that he emphasises freedom and democracy as the corner stones the society of the future. One can surely agree with him on the need for a balance between liberty/freedom and working democracy.

After reading the whole book one notes with apprehension that unless the elites in society do selfless social work and thus guide the functioning of democracy the future is too forboding.

On page 129 “Most Arab writers are more concerned with defending their national honour against the pronouncements dead orientalists”. It seems this is aimed at scholars like Edward Said the author of “Orientalism”. Zakaria did not seemed to mind that orientalist and orientalism defined the imperialist mindsets and distorted everything oriental. At certain place, Zakaria alluded to the fact that East was civilised thousand years prior to Christianity. Zakaria also exhibits orientalist influence in explaining history and society in the Arab and Eastern worlds. The most glaring deficiency in this book is the silence on the British, French, American and other European conquests of the world, enforced slavery and slave trades practiced by them all for many centuries. He did not mention and evaluate the genocide practiced on the original inhabitants of America and Australia and many smaller countries all over the glob. “Liberty, Freedom and Equality” indeed? It was the result of asserting superior origin of white race. If they had a chance, they would have exterminated all non-whites. They refrained from it because they needed non-white slaves to labour for them and necessity to rear their cattle. There were innumerable instances of whites characterizing all non-whites as hordes of cattle and dealing with them as such. All Eastern colonies had a more developed culture and civilisation than their conquerors. The imperialist measurement of development of culture and civilisation were weapons of war and torture equipments. They debased everything of value in their colonies. In their colonies, the imperialist regimes not only enforced their own “superior” values on the defeated populations but completely obliterated some of their past from memories itself.

Zakaria did not dwell on these ugly and reprehensible parts of the European histories and to that extend this book is deficient.

25. MY INVENTED COUNTRY

By Isabel Allende. 13.8.2003.

One reviewer called this slim book as a rehash of all the author’s earlier novels and autobiography and there is nothing new here. As a memoir, also the book does not get interesting enough. He may be right. A new memoir will not necessary be better than the one earlier penned.

I read only one book so far of Isabel that was published a little earlier to this. “City of Beasts” is a story in magical mode about an expedition into the deep Amazon jungles to locate and study certain remote tribes. That book was not of any high order still fascinating enough to highlight the arrogance of the half baked scientist exploiting capital and honest tribals. It was all a magical tale.

The latest book is not a fiction. Another reviewer said that she is well captivated by “My Invented Country” as her first encounter with Isabel’s work. Anyway self feels that the book by Isabel is her confession with all her good and bad sides. She deeply dwells on the basic roots of her current thoughts and actions. She unfolds the historical canvas of Chilean society with an eye on details. There might be some exaggerations as she herself admits. However, they are based on hard realities experienced in life. Her own families both from father’s and mother’s side were in contrast opposites.

26. THE DEMON HUNTED WORLD by Carl Sagan.

Though Karl Sagan authored a number of books to popularize science and scientific thinking, I somehow missed reading them earlier. Possibly, they were not low priced to my pocket.

The contents of this book are most engaging and stimulating one’s mind. One gets a close picture of the widespread beliefs in un-scientific superstitions among otherwise developed populations in US. One hopeful phenomena is that thee people like Sagan in societies trying to dispel the untruth.

27. CLASH OF FUNDAMENTALISMS

By Tariq Ali.

This book covers topics left out or disregarded in Fareed Zakaria’s work “Future of Freedom”. Tariq Ali brought his book updated just before the US and UK sponsored attack on Iraq. Ali provided an extensive historical background for the current situation, where the industrial and military complex of the US dominates the global sphere and UK acts as an extended arm.

Even before Second World War, the US was assuming super power role. After the WW II, it went on extending itself to new areas that were earlier under European domination for decades. The US imperialism adorned a new garb of saviors from godless communism. They brutalized a large segment of world nations/populations. The brutalized nations were Middle East and Africa.

28. OUTCASTE by Narendra Jadhav.

13.12.2003.

The narration seems to be too honest in most of the details in the life of the outcaste Mahars, and all untouchables. It is transparent except when political issues were debated between Congress and Babasahib Ambedkar. The auther seems to suggest that it was not the Hindu or national reform movement which high lighted the life of untouchables but the efforts of the colonial army. May be it gave the force but the spurt was that of national liberation struggle which in turn realy changed the attitudes of a significant part of the people towards caste oppression.

The “Outcaste” is a constructed memoir and not sourced from any written diary or something else. Still the features ring true and several could recollect the past from those pages. The author did not attempt any deeper study of the caste system in Hinduism. It was more specific about Mahars in Maharashtra.

Damu’s wife Sonu raises certain questions about conversion to Buddhism. They are very cogent, very basic to the life in religion. There are no answers from Damu or from Babasahib, who advocated the conversion of Dalits to Buddhism. The author also has no answers. It seems that those who are deeply commited to their religious beliefs could not be converted to any other religion. The converts are asked to follow another blind beliefs and rituals. To reject Hindu gods in favour of Buddha made into a god with appropriate rituals are no answer.

At the end the author deliberates about the caste system in Hinduism. There is no solution to this cancerous system. Dalits remain dalits in Christianity or Islam in India. Converts to Buddhism remain the same untouchables in the eyes of caste Hindus. The struggle againsdt the caste system was part of the freedom struggle. Freedom came but the system persists. Why? What for?

29. DROP DEAD GEORGIOUS. 10.1.2004.

This is book of fiction, the first book of the author. It is a run of the mill fashion. It gives an idea that people or specifically girls entangled in glory, journalism, TV presenters, rock & roll artists and all such kind of people are glorying in their egos. The influences affected on individuals in the nature of happy go lucky is very negative in life.

Though the prose is good, the theme is pedestal Victorian morality play. It also gives an idea that western society is tolerant of all libertine pursuits as freedom of choice. Is their any chance with media posing larger than life features? There is no way to measure. Let us be clear in our mind that no society is perfect in terms of any ideal. It evolves. There are no objectives to be attained.

The book narrates one heroine’s life and others ae just there to pack up the narrative. Why the rock star could not be a serious lover? The portrait is, just a type prepared to it. To imagine that the man was really in love with the mega star and gets depressed by the untimely death of the desired one, a little convoluted. The picture of the rock star with a super model gets insulted and rejected but later they become cozy to each other, less convincing. Similar is the way the heroin turns to Adam as a solution. At the end, all is well that ends well. There is no tragedy. One doesn’t get to the idea that the heroin could not have survived the sordid experiences in her profession. The encounters and going on between the mega star and rock star are not in fact a part of her professional life. The induced drug addiction also does not help make a convincing story. The life of a TV celebrity could be without those sordid parts narrated here. The impression created here is that for a woman life outside home is a perilous one. Better be a housewife and mom at home.

30. SEXUAL LIFE OF CATHERINE M. 13.1.2004.

It is termed as an autobiography of a French art critic. From a conventional point of view, the narration and episodes are bizarre But for a more modern will find the critic’s sexual life as natural enough. One cannot but approve of her honesty in describing those episodes. When it comes, it is accepted, not sought after. Even when it was a group sex, she being the lone woman in the group it occurs naturally. She has no preferences. Also she is indifferent in forming and or keeping a relationship. Twosome, threesomes and assembly line sex; all are in the game. There are no class differences. No question is asked nor any answer expected.

Since, teen age to maturity she goes on from one coupling to another singular or plural, whatever is available at the time. But in many pages the scenes are repeated word for word and in many cases whole sentences. Only one that she leaves out is intercourse with a dog. One of her friends promises her to bring a trained dog but never materializes it. Then she fantasizes the situation and revel in self-stimulations. All positions conceivable are examined in their every detail. But there is a but!!

As the narrative unfolds one cannot but be amazed at the audacity of the author to go on making with both known and most unknown ones day after day even hour after hour. She and her group has shown no inhibitions about the places where they are coupling, whether on the road side, in gardens, in bye lines of the city or in the open countryside. Though she mentions about a condom at a place all her indulgences are without any protection against STD or precautions against pregnancy. She reveals that she enjoys the most when her pussy was oozing out with the semen pumped in it, from men lined up as many as fifty or more whose number she never keeps count. This is just not one night session but something regular. This gives an idea that all her sexual encounters are her imaginations and not real. At certain places, she acknowledges them. Does she live a real life at all?
