Ruskin Bind talks about his travels and walks across north India. Nobody and I mean nobody can talk about the hills, streams and trees of north India like Bond does. He has my heart and soul. (Also, the pencil points to Dehradun, one of his favourite places.) If you haven't read anything by him, WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?!

"There was a human quietness everywhere."

Headscarves And Hymens is a book that I would recommend everyone to read. It talks about the discrimination and problems faced by women in the Middle East. Some of it might anger you, some of it might make you cry but it will definitely make you think of the situation of women not only in the Middle East but everywhere. My favourite chapter in the book was Home.

Read it.
