Revolution 2020




Revolution 2020


Revolution 2020 an interesting and sweet Novel from Indian author Chetan Baghat. I usually do not like his books but I liked this one so much. It was an easy read; maybe because Indians authors do not want to use complicated and sophisticated vocabulary for the sake of their readers who let's face it do not have that strong a vocabulary. 

    So it was about a love triangle between two boys and a girl( Gopal, Raghav and Aarti). I don't want to spoil anything you gotta read by your won and enjoy a lovely story. I just wanna say that at the end who has softest heart gets his heart broken so bad. Gopal loves Aarti more than anything else in the world. He does any thing and everything for her. But Aarti is with Raghav who is a friend of Gopal and gets to know Aarti by her best friend(Gopal). Along the way  a lot of things happen; hearts get broken they change, they evolve. They say the passage of time will hail all wounds but the greater the loss the deeper the cut and the more difficult process to become whole again. The pain may fade but the scars serve as a reminder of our suffering and make the bearer all the more resolved never to be wounded again. So as time moves along we get lost in distraction, act out in frustration react with aggression give in to anger. 

    Gopal loves Aarti infinitely but he lets he go because he thinks Raghav is better choice for her. He suffers very badly. Maybe he will never recover from the loss of his loved one in the whole world, but he chooses others' happiness over his. 

It is a very beautiful tale. It makes more sense and gets more interesting when you had lived in India like me or know about the culture and tradition of Indians.

All the very best, don't forget to read the 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...

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...
