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.

I am Still Here

  Frankly, I never thought I would be in Afghanistan even after three years of college graduation. By now I thought I'd be somewhere far off but sadly I am still here. I am not sure when I'd be able to leave. I am afraid if I stayed here for long I might not wanna leave. Plus I am getting older by each year. There is the matter of marriage also. I am not sure how much longer I can keep postponing it. I am not worried so much about the marriage though, still, it seems like I should start thinking about it. But then again marriage can wait but education can't.  I am thinking of starting my higher education online. With the Taliban and their unpredictable rules, getting a passport to travel abroad is not guaranteed. So online education is my only way forward. I am thinking of settling down here; if only I could find the right person. Marriage is a very tricky business, there is no margin for error. For now, I can start my online studies and after a year or two when I am close ...

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...

After a long time...

After a long time... It's been almost a month since I wrote something. Since then I do not think I have any posts. On June 25 the library stopped issuing books and since then I am stuck with my computer and myself. So far I have some Tv shows; some of them were incredibly interesting. But my favorite was The Blacklist.           I have been waiting for the final results to arrive since I don't know how long. A few days earlier the results of the eighth semester arrived. My CGP in it unbelievably was good or at least what I think it is. It was 7.58; FYI I have never had any CGP as high as this one. So obviously I was thrilled to see the results. But unfortunately, that was all that came. I have some re-appears whose results haven't arrived yet. I am impatiently waiting for them. After it will be clear when I will be leaving India. My visa will expire on 30th July so technically I have only another 18 days to stay here. After that my room will be taken away f...
