Its been ages since i last wrote, life's been super busy. But u know wat i don't really mind it. I like it this way. Running around all the time can be a little exhausting sumtimes but at the end of the day its worth it.
For starters i have finally finished readin Shantaram. Its easily one of the best books i have ever read. Though i must admit it took me 4ever to finish it. The writer Gregory david roberts like me loves the city of Mumbai. Its kinda nice to see that a firang luvs the city like we Mumbaikars do. Its fun readin a book when u've actually been to the places that the writer is describing. This book is definitely a must read. I must admit that i don't agree with the choices the main protagonist in the book Lin makes. I feel like sumwhere he refuses to except responsibility for his action. He basically commits all these crimes just because he wants to be around people he cares for, i mean that just stupidity. And if it is based on a real life story, then how did the writer end up in jail as mentioned in the end of the book? I mean the book's already about 900 page a few more pages wudn't hav hurt. But at the end of the day its a good book and i recommend to all book lovers. The character of the Prabhaker has been very beautifully sketched and u can't help but fall in luv with this funny man. The author mentions in the book that he feels like he more of an Indian than anything else and its kinda shows no wonder he ended the book with a happy endin like most of our Indian movies. After readin this book i feel like i want to know more about the war in Afghanistan, i felt very ignorant about the conditions there as i read about the author's experience there. Its unbelievable that a person can go through so much in one lifetime.
It was my B'day a couple of days back and me and my close friends were havin dinner when one of them asked me how had my year been? And b4 i cud answer a very dear friend of mine answered the question sayin that " She worked at a place where she luved wat she was doin, got over her jackass ex and is now studin sumthin she really enjoys, i think life cudn't have been better for her".
And its funny because if i had answered the question i wud hav probably said that - I almost got homeless, lost the person i luved more than life itself so basically it wasn't a good year for me.
But thanx to my dear friend at that particular moment i realized that my glass is half full and i have no reason to complain. Its all about your perspective, there's always sumthin good/right in our lives i wonder why we always choose to focus on the wrong. I am glad i realized this and wat better day than my B'day. Also this year people who i hav barely been i touch with called me to wish me and i must say it felt good. In fact it felt gr8 to know that in sum way or another maybe i had touched their lives and thats why they cared enough to remember and wish me. Thats all for now will try writin more often, but then who the hell reads my blog anyways;-)
