Women and Prevention of War | Wajiha Hyder

Women and Prevention of War

Posted at 12:16 pm by Wajiha, on January 3, 2015
I have embarked on this year with Virginia Woolf’s very insightful essay, Three Guineas, portraying Woolf’s ideas about women, women’s education and what part they can play in prevention of war; if educated in a non-traditional manner.

This blog, as a reflection (however shoddy) of its creator, is mostly about her, people around her, things that she's passionate about or not for that matter; among other things. This is where she practices her writing.

  “I meant," said Ipslore bitterly, "what is there in this world that truly makes living worthwhile?" Death thought about it. CATS, he said eventually. CATS ARE NICE.” . . — Terry Pratchett, Sourcery (Discworld, #5; Rincewind #3)
  
  Remember when I told you that I had started reading this? Well, I didn’t really get the chance to finish because life did what it really does best: unleash the sheer indecency of time upon us. The vacation ended and I had to head back to the real world. So I just started editing my first article for tomorrow and it suddenly dawned upon me that a more tedious occupation has perhaps not been invented. Yet. But to be absolutely honest, It’s a love-hate relationship. Very complicated. Very unexplainable. In other news, the first-born got an excellent CIE result. (Just had to flex, sorry). Happy days! 🎈
  
  #Tbt when I fell in love with the Reading Room in Bryant Park. To be honest, the idea that you can just pick a book and can read here, in a park, for hours at a stretch is, sigh, just wonderful.
  
  “In poetically well built museums, formed from the heart's compulsions, we are consoled not by finding in them old objects that we love, but by losing all sense of Time.” — Orhan Pamuk, The Museum of Innocence When I first planned this vacation, reading was the only thing I’d really planned on doing. As between the kids and the work and the monstrosity we call daily life, I hardly ever get any time to do that anymore. Needless to say, I hardly got any reading done here as well. It seems yours truly should just embrace the fact that the reading days are behind her now. Sigh. Anyway it was raining here today, so I ended up cancelling all my plans. Instead I decided to stay in and just tend to reading. Wasn’t disappointed at all!! Had been meaning to read this little beauty for the longest time and was I glad to do so finally. My vacation is coming to an end in a matter of a few days. And life beckons, as it always does. But such wonderful few days I spent here in this magnificent city!
  
  Sleep won’t take it away, It’ll just make you remember, Things you’d like to forget
  
  Not a lot one needs in life, A book, some good friends and a cup of tea, That’s really all there is to it
  
  Hope..
  
  I still can’t believe that Game of Thrones has ended — even if they completely screwed it up towards the end. Sigh. But as far as I think, despite the last season being extremely rushed and poorly executed, the show couldn’t have ended in a better way. Whatever happened, had to happen eventually. But the plot needed more development.. and the last episode alone needed a whole season to itself. They completely twisted the narrative in the last two episodes and wanted the audience to ‘just understand’. . . I just hope Mr Martin gives us more detail and develops the plot a bit more in the remaining books.. oh and here’s hoping that he actually writes them so we get some kind of closure! . . So what did you think about the series finale?
