Jiko

By Rohini Jain and ROHINI JAIN (Ruhi)

Jiko- a word with many faces. In Japanese, it can mean "self," the essence of who we are, or "accident," a sudden turn that changes everything. Both meanings feel inseparable here, because the journey to discover oneself often arrives through collisions, struggles, and unplanned questions.
This book is a quiet conversation between a girl and the world around her. She asks why her dreams must wait, why sacrifice is demanded only of her, why her happiness is negotiable. Society replies gently, draping tradition in care, persuading her that she is overthinking.
Jiko is born from this tension. It is a reflection, a reckoning, and ultimately a call to claim the self, even when the world insists otherwise.
