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.

And the Mountains Echoed by Khalid Husseini

 And the Mountains Echoed by Khalid Husseini  This one is the third book from Khalid Husseini which I have read, and the second one which I finished completely. This is a story about love, loyalty, and compassion sacrifice. It is very different than the previous two of his book in which he focuses on the main characters but in this one, you won't have the same experience. Just when you think you are getting connected deeply with a character; it ends. And the story starts to be someone entirely different with a bit of connection with the previous character.          When it starts you would think it is about Abdullah and his little sister Pari; which quite of portion it really is about. But then another chapter starts and a new character rises and a new story beings. In short, you won't get attached to a single character.        I was a little bit disappointed because it was nothing I had expected I mean Khalid Husseini always writes...

And Yet the Life Goes On

And Yet the Life Goes On I have been meaning to write for the last couple of months, but I never got the chance to do so. there is a lot of stuff I want to write about and I honestly do not know where to begin. Nevertheless, I am going to have to begin from somewhere, so here it is: In the last five months while I was working for Save the Children International, a lot of things happened. I got to meet with a lot of good and useful people; I had so much fun working with the FSL team in Andkhoy District of Faryab Province; I found so many good friends; I earned some money and I saved some for my higher education; I fell in love with a beautiful girl and got my heart broken by her; I traveled a lot and got to visit places that I had never before; I learned a lot of things from my supervisor M Alem Abrar, the kindest and the sweetest person in the world and at the end, I left it before even my contract was over.  Now I am with International Medical Corps in a new city far away from hom...

First blog

My first blog.....!  As a guy grew up in a non English speaking country, far away from all English deals and stuff had hoped that after leaving  native country and going to  a foreign one where they teach in English would probably be fluent in speaking this precious language.  My first step was to go to turkey for my bachelor from where I could easily could be accepted in UK's Universities for my master's.  During high school I gave my hundred percent and did all i could do to prepare myself for National Exam of my homeland after 12, well I had done in that pretty well and I had scored really well 342.766 out of 360 got the first position in my province. still i remember that morning when my best friend samim called me from my hometown to tell me about result, i was living with my sister in her house in kabul after Exam for a change, so he told me that we both had been accepted to our favorite university, Kabul university the best in the country in civi...
