"Bulaki is a traditional piece of gold jewelry, a septum ring, worn mostly by married women of rural Nepal. While one wears it to enhance her beauty, but on a spiritual belief, it is believed to be a ticket to heaven when one departs this life." Bulaki is a mini poetry book. Based on the violence against women and girls in a Nepali society. The hardship of being a woman in a man's world. The different roles she plays in her life but with every role, she faces a different kind of discrimnation or abuse. The neverending fight for equality from her great grandmother's generation to her very own. To remind and encourage her next generation who will continue this fight after she is gone. Not just Nepali women, but women all over the world can relate to it. A must read for men to understand a woman's prespective. A short but an empowering read.An emotional gift for mothers, daughters, sisters, wives and young adults.
