Dotting The Blemish And Other Stories
Non-returnable
Dotting the Blemish is a collection of short stories that reflect and comment on the inherent prejudices we have as a society. These try to capture the strong patriarchal system we sanction and the unconscious biases we uphold, in social structures, norms, and beliefs. The stories stitched alongside each other in this book are stories of strength. Stories about women who lived ordinary lives, seen or heard in families, as incidents or as folklore. The women who worked through their karma to make a life for themselves and those around them. Sunitha compels us to acknowledge the prejudice and allow shame to surface, to enable the shift we desire.

Product Details
Sunitha Lal is a leader in the domain of Human Resources and Organizational Culture, based out of Bangalore, India. She has a keen interest in the space of the unconscious processes in individuals, groups, and systems. As a strong proponent of the oral tradition of storytelling, she believes that stories keep us glued together, keeping the values of cultures alive. They also give us an opportunity to listen to shared memories and lived experiences, a chance to explore the subtext in a conversation - what is being left unsaid? What were the lessons learned collectively as a society? How has our thinking evolved? She looks at storytelling as a healing process; cultures learn and mend through stories told and retold through ages. She is passionate about themes of feminism, diversity, and equality. The stories that are stitched alongside each other in this book are stories that are seen or heard in families, as incidents, or as folklore. There is strength to draw from them. But there is also the shadow of omission that was sanctioned or commissioned. Sunitha compels us to acknowledge the prejudice and allow shame to surface, to enable the shift. She is an ardent yoga practitioner and is fascinated by philosophy.
