Posted by Every year at this time, the chatter around Women’s Day drowns everything else. And for good reason. When for centuries women have been dealt the short end of the stick, it’s high time their issues are given prominence in daily discourse. I’ve never actively sought to celebrate or mark International Women’s Day in any particular manner, but being a woman, I do often get pulled into other projects that do.
The project this year is one that I’m particularly proud of. It’s an anthology titled ‘Brave Inked Emotions’, penned by women writers and edited by Roma Gupta Sinha, on their unique emotional struggles across a range of situations. The subjects chosen are relatable and the experienced authors have presented their points of view from a very genuine space.
My own piece titled “How I Deal with Emotional Turmoil” is a raw and candid look at my own journey through life. I examine in detail my insecurities, issues that cause emotional flare-ups, and then I share the method for how I tackle my emotional turmoil. I am no expert, and neither perhaps are my fellow authors in this anthology. However, sometimes the best advice comes from the most real and relatable sources. Hence, I hope my thoughts and the others penned in this anthology will help our readers with their own emotional struggles.
Interestingly, while I wrote my piece from a very generic point of view, a number of chapters address specific emotional hurdles or situations. These include the struggle of dealing with one’s in-laws, children, friendships and more. The stories cover a gamut of emotions that will surely ring true in some way for every person.
It is for this reason, and also to show support to women writers, that I request you to order your own copy to read. A link to buy the physical copy is here and the e-book will be out soon here.
Once you have ordered and read the book, do share your feedback with us. Also, do share the book with others – we are sure it will resonate with everyone.

Yay to us all who wrote for this book under Roma’s guidance! Hats off to her for the amount of work she has put into it. I’m doing my bit of marketing during the holidays. Have a lot of backlog since I was holidaying without my laptop this time.
Hats off to all of us writers too!
I am so thrilled that this book is finally in print. It was a much anticipated day for all of us who contributed our stories. Congratulations to you too Noor!
And to you too!
Your article just gave a trailer… want to know more about it. Hope you will tell us more in another blog.
Yes I received my copy today – will write an in-depth piece after I have read it.
It was a great idea to compile this self-help book. And lots of hard work doen by Roma. I feel happy to be a part of this journey as well. Have yet to read this fully though.
🙂
I am still getting goosebumps, Noor. Holding the book and searching for my name in the list of 31. I never in my dreams thought it would be the first. It is a very humbling experience and forever grateful to be writing with all you young divas. Thank you for including me in the sorority. Amd may our tribe grow!
Congratulations!
That’s just amazing how women choose to live themselves up after a setback. Brave and unwilling to give up is the true spirit.
🙂
This is indeed a case of Women Supporting Women in this month of International Womens Day. The topic and subject of the book sounds so interesting and so many of my literary friends have contributed to this book. Will surely grab a copy soon.
🙂
I never heard about this project but it seems fun and exciting. What’s the process to be a part of it. Thank you Noor for such participations.
Hi Pamela, you can join this Facebook group for announcements of future editions of this book: https://www.facebook.com/groups/722466329956739
Writing for this book felt like a dream come true. I never imagined I’d dive into topics like men’s emotional well-being and the pressure on children’s emotional health. Huge congratulations to all the authors who poured their hearts into this project.
And congratulations to you too!
Real-life stories are always inspiring and if they come from women I’ve been admiring from afar for a while, that’s a definite cincher for me. I’ve signed up for the blog tour of the book and am looking forward to get inspired by the unique narratives and perspectives that this book and its authors will lend.
Wonderful! Look forward to hearing your thoughts!
i just downloaded the book excited to read my fellow bloggers thoughts

A big congratulations to Roma and all the female writers including you. I know few of you personally and can bet that it’s going to be a great read. Will order my copy soon.
Thank you!
Many congratulations Noor, Roma and all the participants. Feeling complete FOMO! Looks like a very interesting read!

For the first time I went ahead to share my emotional journey and all thanks to Roma from giving the opportunity to show the guts to talk about my journey. I am glad to see that women of India are now showing the spirit to talk about what they experienced and how they overcome it to come out stronger. Each one of the content in the book are powerful and I salute each one of us to be a part of this anthology and inked our emotions with confidence. Proud to be a part of this project. I received my copy today and starring at it continuously while writing this …….

A few days ago I got to know about this Anthology book true best advice comes from personal experiences and that might be helpful in so many ways.
🙂
Congratulations to us all, Noor. Loved the way Roma’s dream project has shaped up. I am still waiting for my print copy although I ordered on the 8th itself. Re-read the experiences on Kindle. Goosebumps again!
🙂
Congratulations, Noor! This anthology sounds like a great initiative to bring out the stories of women and their emotions. Emotions are a fundamental aspect of our lives, yet often challenging to navigate. I’m sure this anthology will prove to be a valuable resource for handling the complex world of emotions through the insights from real-life experiences.
🙂
Congratulations to all writers. It is a crucial step in bringing women’s emotions in limelight. Hardly few people get to notice the real emotions of a woman.
🙂
This turned into such a fun project. I love how our experiences have become reassuring reads and tools for others. Looking forward to reading everyone’s life stories together over the weekend.
