    About this ebook

    Life and Love, Politics and Religion, and Sex and Sexuality march in perfect rhythm in Sonia Jethanis, Revelations for Genesis. 2011 is the love-child of revolutions sung in her poetry. It's the compilation of words that people fear to utter out loud-words that many people feel but dont know how to express out loud. Be warned-this is not a book for government or traditions. If youre easily offended or sensitive, put it back on the shelf.

    Sonia Bascos Jethani

    If you ever find her quiet in a crowded room, it’s not because she’s shy or introverted. It’s because something noteworthy is happening and she’s planning on using it as fodder in her next book. With a Bachelor’s degree in Finance and an MBA in International Business, one would think that this half Indian-half Filipina woman was running towards the corporate life. But after a couple of years in banking and a lifetime in the family business, she had broken free of all ties and to the dismay of the people she’d left behind, set off on a self-proclaimed epic journey of discovery. Her eyes were set to the East; for although progress was in the other direction, her idea of success revolved around its source. After all, it's nearly impossible to find what’s mising without a little backtracking. When the issue of marriage came up, as it always does at her age, Sonia had said that if she was to have a child, the boy or girl would be named Genesis. But just as a blind man cannot lead another blind man to wisdom, she was determined to learn what the world had to teach so that when the time came, she would be well-equipped. Revelations for Genesis is her first book that journals her life growing up in California, her travels to Europe and Asia, and her experiences as she made her way to her current home in New York.

      Love Letters

      MY BELOVED ANGEL, I am nearly mad about you, as much as one can be mad: I cannot bring together two ideas that you do not interpose yourself between them. I can no longer think of nothing but you. In spite of myself, my imagination carries me to you.
