Author : Xavier Pinto, E. The neem tree, one of the most promising of all plants, may eventually benefit every person on the planet.
Probably no other plant yields as many varied products or has as many exploitable by-products. Indeed, as foreseen by some scientists, this tree may usher in a new era in pest control; provide millions with inexpensive medicines; cut the rate of population growth; and perhaps even reduce erosion, deforestation, and the excessive temperature of an overheated globe. On the other hand, although the enthusiasm may be justified, it is largely founded on exploratory investigations and empirical and anecdotal evidence.
The purpose of this book is to marshal the various facts about this little-known species, to help illuminate its future promise, and to speed realization of its potential. Salma's novel takes you into a world of women. It is writing that describes the inner universe of women who do not know the outside world.
Salma deftly shows [how] these women navigate their sad, emotional landscape, holding time in their hands, gradually stepping outside their sorrows. Everything here is fresh, including their feminine language. Traditionalist mindsets may not be taken in by this novel where stories emerge from under the blanket of tradition, revealing that a break with the old order is inevitable' -Perumal Murugan, Indian author, scholar and literary chronicler who writes in Tamil 'Women, Dreaming is an evocative double bill of fierce feminine lifescapes, with the iconic Salma's searing Tamil narrative rendered in translucent English by the hugely gifted Meena Kandasamy' -Namita Gokhale, writer, publisher and festival director 'Women grapple with life in a universe constructed by men, for men[,] in this moving story set in a tiny village in Tamil Nadu.
Despite the claustrophobic trappings of religious patriarchy, they chart their own course and find their own voice. And how is clarity to be achieved? Mainly by taking trouble and by writing to serve people rather than to impress them. The social purpose of language is communication —to inform, misinform, or otherwise influence our fellows….
Communication [is] more difficult than we may think. We are all serving life sentences of solitary confinement within our bodies; like prisoners, we have, as it were, to tap in awkward code to our fellow men in their neighbouring cells…. Just as the art of war largely consists of deploying the strongest forces at the most important points, so the art of writing depends a good deal on putting the strongest words in the most important places….
One of the most important things, to my mind, in English style is word-order. For us, the most emphatic place in a clause or sentence is the end.
It has, in fact, the last word. As the police put it, anything you say may be used as evidence against you. If handwriting reveals character, writing reveals it still more. You cannot fool all your judges all the time…. Most style is not honest enough. Easy to say, but hard to practice.
A writer may take to long words, as young men to beards—to impress. But long words, like long beards, are often the badge of charlatans. Or a writer may cultivate the obscure, to seem profound. But even carefully muddied puddles are soon fathomed.
Or he may cultivate eccentricity, to seem original. But really original people do not have to think about being original—they can no more help it than they can help breathing. They do not need to dye their hair green. This, indeed, is one of the eternal paradoxes of both life and literature—that without passion little gets done; yet, without control of that passion, its effects are largely ill or null.
