Pinky Aunty's Gym for the Soul  (English, Paperback, Saheba Atal)

Pinky Aunty's Gym for the Soul is a collection of spoken word poetry. 'Pinky aunty' is not one person or one character, I have put together the term‘Pinky Aunty' to describe the culmination of segments of awoman’s life. The book talks about a woman’s childhood, her youth, her maturity, the rage, the evolution a woman goes through. ‘Pinky Aunty’ refers to a form every woman surfaces to, after all her drama, giggles, struggles, battles and conquests are put behind her. The following poems are a scatter of a woman’s experiences and her untold emotions.You might relate to all poems or some poems. But you will feel a close connection to the pinks and punks of your life. It’s a composition about women and their lives only to acknowledge and celebrate them. This book of poetry is not a beyond reality book. A woman is naughty, she is flamboyant and promiscuous. She is talking about her infidelity, let alone accepting it. She is not interested in being an idol, she is interested in breaking a few ideal images. She is funny and sad, all at the same moment, yet can laugh her way out on her high heels with a voluptuous ass. It’s a screening of reality of women in many large segments of our society. Sometimes what is happening in front of us carries shimmers of shame to be showcased to an audience.
