'On Reckoning' by Amy Remeikis is a powerful account of her personal and professional rage. Here are ten of the best quotes by Amy Remeikis.
Amy Remeikis’s ‘On Reckoning’ is about personal and professional rage in the context of the issues that surround women’s safety.
It is about opening doors for necessary conversations to take place. A very well-written and amazing book, I highly recommend it.
For me, it is one of the most brilliant books I’ve read till date. Compiled below are some quotes from ‘On Reckoning’ by Amy Remeikis that would compel everyone to think and act in this context.
Rage never disappears. It only sits dormant.
It’s not all men, and yet, statistically, it will be a man.
There is every chance that someone in your everyday life is someone else’s monster.
Anger can be destructive, but it can also be transformative.
You shouldn’t get a cookie for telling people not to sexually assault other people. And, yet, here we are.
Our history is stained with injustices and rage that took too long to be acknowledged.
But this is not a ‘women’s issue’ and it is not for women to solve.
In order to achieve real change, more than half the population needs to give a shit.
None of us are equal until all of us are.
The thing about reckonings is that for them to truly occur, all that came before has to be burnt to the ground.
Happy reading!

UP Boards Topper Prachi Nigam was trolled on social media for her facial hair; our obsession with appearance is harsh on young minds.
Prachi Nigam’s photo has been doing the rounds on social media for the right reasons. Well, scratch that- I wish the above statement were true. This 15-year-old girl should ideally be revelling in her spectacular achievement of scoring a whopping 98.05% and topping her tenth-grade boards. But oddly enough, along with her marks, it’s something else that garners more attention – her facial hair.
While the trolls are driving themselves giddy by mocking this girl who hasn’t even completed her school yet, the ones who are taking her side are going one step ahead – they are sharing her photoshopped pictures, sans the facial hair, looking nothing less than a celebrity with captions saying – “Prachi Nigam, ten years later”.
Doctors have already diagnosed her with PCOD in their comments, based on photographic evidence. While we have names for people shamed for their weight – body shaming, for their skin colour- racism, for their age- age shaming, for being a female- sexism, this category of shaming where one faces criticism for their appearance has no name. With that, it also has zero shame attached to it.
