Books I Liked

The job hunt is on in full swing. Lets see how things go. The thing is that wat i wanna do is not really gonna pay me much and I kinda need the money. But at the same time i don't wanna do sumthing that i won't enjoy. Also I am not sure if i shud play the waiting game or shud i just take up wat cums first. As always i am super confused. Things with my friend aren't really improving as i had thot they wud. I mean we talk and all but i just don't feelin i can tell her wats on my mind without thinking twice any more. I feel like i hav to think and speak cos sum where i feel like she judgin me. My day start at around 2 pm these days. I think i can make sum sort of a record for sleepin for the maximum no. of hours.

I read Jhumpa Lahiri's Interpreter of Maladies last week and surprisingly i liked it. I generally don't like the award winning types. I think she sticks to wat she knows best i.e. Bengali culture, Calcutta and Boston. Most of her stories revolve around them. But the thing with reading short stories is sum how i kinda find them incomplete. They just end abruptly and i end up wondering wat happens to the characters after this.

I have just finished reading Meenakshi Reddy Madhavan's You are Here. I just wanted to read sumthing that wasn't very serious and lil chick flick like. Ok so the thing is i've read her column a couple of times in Mumbai Mirror. And honestly i kinda felt that they weren't very original. It felt like she was trying to do the Indian version of Carrie Bradshaw from Sex and the city. I just felt like it was very wannabeish. But i thot the book was nice, not bad at all. Infact sum parts from the book are hilarious. I absolutely loved the part about underwire bras. I just cudn't stop laughing when i read that bit. The twenty -five year Arshi is very easy to relate to. I think she kinda goes thru the same crisis we all do when we are twenty sumthing and we hav no clue where our life is heading. I personally cud really relate to the whole no boyfriend no job and in my case still writing blogs about your ex bit. I really like these lines from the book..

We need to move, to grow, and if we’re lucky the people we luv are moving and growing too, at sum point in the future we’ll find ourselves rite bak at the start.

Ok thats it for now see ya later..
