Moira by Deepak Agrawal
That a woman’s mind is akin to a labyrinth of impossibility, best left on its own, is but a common cliche of the day. Mihika Singh, our kind protagonist, the prodigal but overly sensitive child, grows up to be a woman ruthless in pursuing her ambitions, yet rooted to her moral soil while breathing life to her dreams. However, with a career par excellence, she grapples to hold on to the reins of her love life. We live her story with her as she holds a mirror to her own heart to reflect on her approach to propinquity, commitment and pain, trying to make sense of it all. She isn’t perfect, she makes mistakes & she owns them too, taking lessons out of each one of them. As the seasons of her love life change, she explores different facets of intimacy in love, and each time rediscovers herself in it. In this long, tumultuous journey of moving only but ahead, does she stop for someone finally for what it’s worth? Or does destiny prove too strong a force to conquer? Let us hear it from her…

FacebookAbout the author:
Deepak Agrawal brings in an explicit real-life experience that finds its roots in the series of crests and troughs that he has experienced in his journey. In his early fifties, a steel technocrat has dominated the industry with his impeccable management style and meticulous attention to detail. However, his alter ego finds solace in decoding the philosophical dimensions of human identity through the analysis and introspection of every human emotion.
Deepak sets his foot in the world of writing with his debut release, Moira, which explores the numerous facades of love through the eyes of the protagonist, Mihika Singh, a professionally successful woman, and embodies her journey from the first touch of fantasy to the feeling of separation.
Losing the most beloved person of his life has made Deepak incredibly empathetic, thereby honing through a series of avid reading and meditation the supreme skills of controlling the prowess of the human mind.
So, for all those who have loved and lost but are still holding on, fighting their emotional battles with smiles on their faces, Moira happens to be a perfect read!
What inspired you to write your book?
Moira has been a literary tryst with the melancholy-mused fondness of my departed wife, as I tried to walk her shoes in my heartlaces, trying to breathe life and appetite to the inherently difficult, trying and dilemma-ridden life of a girl as she blossoms from a seedling through her career and romances to a woman of substance. It's a tribute to all those strong women I have had the privilege of knowing through my life, who haven't had it easy, yet spun through a web of imperfections, subpar justice to make a mark in the world, waging a seemingly endless battle against fate, like most of us. All this talk about equality but I have never had it in my heart to gauge men and women as equals because I have witnessed them fight battles far numerous than the men, they have their usual worldly struggles complemented by the social obligations we have crafted through decades of primitive thinking, I have seen them shine nevertheless. Moira was my way to pat the backs of all those wonderful women out there and say that you are free to colour your skies the way you want, you wouldn't be judged for your imperfections, you wouldn't be worshiped as the impeccable lifeless deity, but be taken as a beautiful human, who faulters, grapples and eventually finds a way through life, through love, to shape her destiny the way she likes.
Here is a short sample from the book:
Danish’s initial attraction stirred up my neurotransmitters and hormones that created the excitement of infatuation and a strong desire to be close with him. These chemicals and our emotional and psychological makeup obfuscated reality, and with the lapse of time, our craving to be with each other fueled. With me, he was degenerate, sinful, and wild. With him, I was my worst self, dismissing any promises and responsibilities. I burned. I was an animal. “Desire” explored another destructive element of love from its list. Nonetheless, being a mammal, it’s a part of our primal DNA. The line between pleasure and pain is thin. There’s more to the erotic life than explicitness.

What’s Behind Your Belly Button? A Psychological Perspective of the Intelligence of Human Nature and Gut Instinct by Martha Char Love
“What’s Behind Your Belly Button?” explains what your gut feelings are actually capable of telling you about your inner instinctive needs, how to listen to the voice of your gut, and how to use both of your brains—head and gut—to work together for your optimal health and well-being. Although numerous books and articles have recently talked about the gut instincts as valuable in giving us useful hunches in the decision-making process, “What’s Behind Your Belly Button?” goes much further and explains how gut feelings not only have a psychological intelligence of their own, but are also understandably rational in their functioning and reflect in their own voice how well the two instinctive human needs of acceptance and of control of one’s own responses in our lives are being met.
Since Dr. Michael Gershon, M.D., published in 1999 his revolutionary medical findings that demonstrated that the gut has an intelligence of its own and called it the “Second Brain”, people have been examining their guts with growing interest in trying to understand their gut feelings. “What’s Behind YOur Belly Button?” answers the questions many people have of the second brain and the ENS in a new Gut Psychology, and explore how to use both your head and gut brains to work together for a healthy life. It is written in a narrative style that allows for the reader to understand the experience within themselves of having two brains and it makes thinking of the human being with these two brains become truly understandable for the first time.
While the authors make this material easy to understand, the psychological explanations of gut intelligence and instincts in this book are comprehensive, well-researched, and based upon clinical studies with hundreds people by the two authors. Utilizing the research of Dr. Gershon, the work of Dr. Lise Eliot who charts the development of children from conception through the first five years of life, recent research of their own in the Psychology Department at Sonoma State University, and their vast clinical experience in career counseling and psychometry, the two authors of What’s Behind Your Belly Button have presented an interpretation of recent medical research into a new revolutionary understanding of gut instincts and a more accurate behavioral understanding of the Self and human nature than has previously been available.
This book is recommended for anyone looking for a hopeful view of humankind and a method for getting in touch with gut instincts to reduce stress, cope with fear and anxiety, deal with health issues and make efforts to stay healthy, and to increase optimal problem-solving and life-decision making abilities. It is a book that would be useful for general audience readers as a self-help book, as well as for scholars of psychology, education, neurology, medicine, and business organizational leadership interested in the well-being of healthy decision-making and the human condition. It is also suggested for parents and teachers who would like to increase the intuitive intelligence of both themselves and their children .
