My Pieces of Writing
Over the period of my high school terms, I often enjoy writing on various topics, book reviews and more, some of which have been published below.
One Indian Girl by Chetan Bhagat
Book Review
Chetan Bhagat’s One Indian Girl introduces Radhika Mehta, a successful investment banker grappling with societal expectations and personal desires. The novel attempts to delve into the challenges faced by modern Indian women, highlighting issues like gender bias and the pursuit of self-worth. While Radhika's journey is relatable, the narrative often simplifies complex feminist themes, leading to a portrayal that feels surface-level. Despite its shortcomings, the book sparks essential conversations about women's autonomy in contemporary India.
