Mili's Post

Neera Kashyap has worked in newspaper and developmental journalism, specializing in social and health communications. Her early literary writings were dedicated to stories for children (prize-winning anthologies by Children’s Book Trust) and a book for young adults (Daring to Dream, 2004) Cracks in the Wall is her first book for adult readers, it's a collection of heartfelt short stories that tenderly touches readers'hearts. Why is it so hard to understand who is causing pain and abuse ? Why is it hard to leave the person who is the reason for our mental strain? Deeply disturbed and discussed emotional layers, social patterns that are patronizing the pain, and how it makes mental health issues as an imaginary issue, how it creates victim shame and kindness towards the actual oppressor. With a chock full of emotions, it reveals multi-faceted struggles, a plethora of emotional stories that unveiled mental, societal, familial—individuals confront as they navigate fears, traumas and desires in the course of their lives and gives readers a window into the tumult that such a process entails, with useful but often difficult revelations. Be it a working woman in an abusive marriage who finally finds the courage to seek intervention, a mother who has to choose between the government and rebels to keep her child safe, while another comes to terms with lost motherhood, or a love stifled under the weight of ambition, these stories mirror deep-rooted fractures, both at a personal and social level, owing to gender inequality, taboo around addiction, mental abuse, conflicts between classes as well as between the urban and rural. Faith plays a role both incrementally and startlingly; the spiritual quest seeded randomly or through a slow process of transformation as do dreams, to deepen understanding of the human psyche. Some stories are beautifully written some are quite hard to understand and some quietly make space into my heart. Overall it's a good book to read, to understand and invites us to take a closer look.
