“A very cool hello to my dear listeners
Set your ears for this creative slot with Elssa John.”

Guys and gals Imagine
A strong refreshing coffee in hand
Cool zephyr around
Whispering leaves
Chirping birds, a few perched on the woods near you
Blissful   nature.
Pleasant  you.
And this is the scene, and whom do you think is the protagonist of this sequence????
Of course it’s not you!!!!!
It has to be a vintage styled, dusty smelling, dusky book in your hand......
YES! Books you see they are fine binded culmination of texts and figures stacked together so that you can flip, turn, see and read.......
YES! READ...we read...we open our facebook page links and read..We click our micro blogging sites and read.
We are sooo patient that we even read the updated status of our friends.....
We read disheartening posts, disappointing notes, cheery ones, vibrant ones too
Sometimes we read and smile.....
Sometimes we read and giggle..
Sometimes we laugh loud...... else.. go mad .....otherwise feel hurt and cry.
We swipe on the same keypad most of the time..The same screen we gaze..
don’t you think you need to flip your mind...shift from this very usual clicking n clicking n clicking..
maybe this script drags to an old trend..but we know everything sensible and logical came from the dedication of the past adroits.
And so now if you think you want to flip back your minds..Then flip those pages...hold that dusty dusky book that stays idle in your cupboard..
Because you owe it an apology....
That may not be a fine piece of an eminent author......
.......that would be just a fable book or a short story compilation but make sure that you touch it...
because that’s different from a click....that’s more fascinating than a mere finger tip push...
touch it...flip it...see how intact those letter stand...you need not copy the texts if you like them...you can nurture them in your inspirational notepads..
Today a letter would spark you...tomorrow  a word and then a sentence ,a stanza, a Para then pages more pages more and more...
and then you will know even when power fails....
even when network ends....... you are still connected with a comfy chair, pleasing weather and a fine book..
This voice you listen is the result of a script...these words came from the past references and reading gifted by literary laureates I admire...
This literary fruit is from a very old literature tree...and we all want our future generations to say the same..
We are the past of the coming generations
lets frame it...
lets foresee a world that's crowned with bunch, pile, collection, library ,heap, stack and vast n vast sphere of books...
“Books will flaunt your life " trust me...
You gave me the this space in your life when you listened  my voice for these passed minutes..so I believe I have gained that trust

How Unbelievable got it right

By Athira Elssa Johnson -

The trauma of rape in the Netflix series shows disturbing ways the system works around rape survivors and addresses it as it should be.  Trauma is often exploited in the media, which, in layers, has enabled rape culture by using women characters as the subject of rape-revenge plots even in big-budget movies and TV series like Game of Thrones or as a backstory to build a strong woman character in iconic movies like Quentin Tarantino’s Kill Bill. However, these defaults and stereotypes in rape narratives associated with shame and a flashback of “badly behaved women” characters are dismantled in the series Unbelievable created by Susannah Grant.  The series revolves around investigations of rapes that follow a similar pattern. The story starts with Marie Adlter (Kaitlyn Dever), one of the rape survivors. Marie has been in foster care since age three and finally when she starts to live independently a stranger breaks into her home one night and rapes her. There is no evidence of a...
