Looking for Alaska by John Green




Looking for Alaska by John Green

Yesterday I started reading book. Albeit I bought it a while ago but could not read yet due to some activities which I have been occupied with but I thought this might be the right time to read it. This book has been written by John Green who is an american novelist. I had read one one his book"The fault in our stars" back in 2018, and I really liked it. Despite of being young and new in this area he is pretty good. I searched online about this book, people have had  positive views about this book. Which means that ti's worth reading and I won't be wasting my time. 
I have read 35 pages by far and I got some idea about what story is and how it can go froward. Let's see what events are waiting for me to be discovered....

I just finished the book and I think this book is absolute crap. Very tedious, meaningless and time wasting. I just don't get it how the hell this book won so many prizes. It does not make any sense at all. This book is totally nonsensical no common sense at all. I am super pissed right now. It was more ridiculous than Indian Novels. So this is about a pathetic loser  Miles Halter AKA pudge who goes to boarding school and acts like is being sent to prison for a life time. His  roommate's name is Chip Martin AKA The colonel. Even though they are at the same class same batch but colonel behaves like a final year senior and pudge behaves like a first year junior. Another characters are Alaska who pudge falls in love with really bad and she despite of having a boyfriend flirts with pudge all the time. Some of the scenes are annoyingly masturbatory. And the next is Takumi who is from japan. They are a bunch of stupid kids who always thinking about new pranks against school and some students who they call rich kids. The colonel hates rich  but ironically being rich is  his biggest dream in life. There is nothing else in the story it's all a bunch of pranks and they get busted they regret and feel sorry and after some days do another stupid pranks. They also smoke and drink privately hiding from school authorities. It's is annoying. I just read this book because I bought it and I had to read it because of the money I paid for it. So half the book is about pranks and then Alaska dies in a car accident out of no where after making out with pudge for the first time. And another of half of book is about pudge keep whining about her death and trying to solve the mystery of her death if only there was any. So they think every possible of solving way making stuff from their own. The end is super lame. Instead of moaning for her death they plan another stupid prank for her memorial. And that's it semester finishes and everyone goes to their respected homes. 

can you believe it a book as lame as it is gets to win lots of prizes??.   
Do not read this damn book.

Lost in this Strange World

when I was a kid I thought I will figure out everything when I am younger, but apparently, that was just a childish dream of mine. I had thought by this age I would understand most things and would be able to make decisions about my life so easily. It is just so hard to make peace with the fact that I will never figure out everything and that I will always have doubts. I don't want to sound ungrateful because I really am not. I understand that the life I am living right now is a dream for thousands of young people in my homeland. However, I am not happy. I just don't know why? The reason for my unhappiness might be the people around me most of whom are impossible to understand. I work in a very prestigious international humanitarian organization but I don't like it here as much as I should. most of the people working here are insanely stupid and unbelievably arrogant. there is no teamwork. Every single department acts like an independent republic. No spirit of collaboration...

Beginning of 2026

  This year started the same way as last year, busy and with too many works to do. During the first week of January 2026, besides handling my own responsibilities and tasks, I was the OiC for my supervisor, our MEAL Coordinator; and for the past two weeks, I have been the OiC for our Security Officer, who has gone to Jordan for the HEAT security training. So as you can see, I have been pretty.  Nowadays, I am leading multiple assessments at the zonal level from different projects. Due to the load of work in my zone, a MEAL Officer had to be deployed here to support me in the MEAL assignments. Mr. B has been here since last Thursday. He is in the field leading a very important assessment on the ground while I am in the office for technical and admin-related tasks. Therefore, I have not been able to write anything in my journal or here itself. Sometimes I feel like I am drained out of energy and I can't do more, but again, I look around and see there are things I need to take ca...

The Passage of Time and the Uncertainty of Life

Life has never been certain, and we have been unable to stop time from passing. And yet we live our lives accepting both conditions. There may be another way of looking at it. There may be beauty in the passage of time and the uncertainty of life. In knowing that the present is all we have got and it is running away from us as fast as possible, and we have to make the best of it while we can; in knowing that future is uncertain and no matter how much we try, we will never be sure about what will happen in the future. All we can do is to make the best of the present and have hope for the future.  For me, growing up I thought that grown-ups are really lucky, because they know what is best and what is not, and what will happen in the future. Not knowing what would happen in the future was not a very good feeling at the time. As I became a grown-up myself, I realized grown-ups are as clueless about the future as children are. But as time passes, I am starting to appreciate that maybe t...
