3. Reason behind the creating this poster

Poster

The cover photo was shot by Mr. Sagar Mindhe. The concept behind the cover image is that victim is portrayed in a coloured image, and the stalker in black shade and it is more of reflection. The victim is real and the criminal has been after her like a shadow. Victim is a girl like most of the girls who don’t tell anyone what has happened with them. She is in pain, she is trying to cope with her pain, while the crime and criminal is haunting her like a dark shadow.

4. How many copies publisher plans to sell in 2021

To be honest we are not chasing any number and sales is not our purpose. Our goal is to make this story reach as many numbers of people as possible. Book is just launch we will be approaching many NGOs and other organisations where we will be sharing this book for free. Don’t be surprised if someday this book is made completely free for everyone. So, sales is something we are not ever looking at.

Yes, stalking is something that needs to be addressed but at the same time there are many more issues which a girl has to face just because of gender. Next it could be judgemental remarks and character assassination we girls face being in the glamours industry. We live in a world where girls doing nude scenes on the screen to the women dressed in ethnic wears are subjected to shaming every now and then. I will be trying to bring whatever I can in my limited lifespan out to the world. In fact, we are working on concept where, of course we the women are punished for living out lives on our own terms and by punishment I mean serious criminal assaults and more done to us. Attempt is what we can do rest is all up to the society how do they take it.
