Honour by Elif Shafak.

Honour by Elif Shafak 24/05/2020  5:03 AM  A few days ago I started this book called Honour by my favorite fiction author Elif Shafak. I had read one her books a couple of weeks ago " The forty rules of love" which was incredibly interesting. I thought to myself I should read her other books too. So I found the PDF of another of her books and to read it at ease I made xerox copy of it. Because I could not order it online, it would have taken a lot more to arrive.      So after making copy of it, I started reading it. Right now I am in the last pages. I will probably finish it  by the next hour. let me finish it first then I will write my views about the book    2:05 PM      I just finished the book. I could have finished it earlier but I got tired and took a nap before lunch and then had lunch and started the book.      This might be one of the best thing I have read. Elif Shafak is incredibly talented. It's like she knows everything about topics she writes about. The sto

If_It's_Not_Forever by Durjoy_Datta_&_Nikita_Singh 7/05/2020 10:47PM This is the next book from those three books which I am currently reading. I came across this book when I was searching PDF books for my friend in Afghanistan. Then I searched it on google, rating was good and also 96% people have liked it already, So I thought what the hell! just read it. This book has been written by my two favorite Indian Novelists Durjoy Datta and the beautiful Nikita Singh. Last year I had read their another shared Novel. It was #Some_one_Like_you, which was incredible. I really loved it.  Also It's been a long time for me since I read a romantic Novel. Right now I am in page 45. I liked the story let's see what will happen next. I might write the short version of it later on here. Now let's go back to book.... 10/05/2020 4:29 AM   I finished the book I short I loved the book, it was worth reading. This was entirely about true and selfless love. It was

The_Power_of_Now by Eckhart_Tolle

The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle   So many books, So little time..... This morning I finished reading this book. This was another book recommended by my Kashmiri friend Amir Hussain. As he had told me about this book, it really was a master piece. The ideas are so practical, realistic and helpful. Writing is another point of strength of this book, it is remarkably fantastic; after all writer is the best spiritual leader in entire USA. I enjoyed a lot this book and I will recommend it to everyone specially those people who are going through a rough time or meeting some new challenges in life. It gives hope, it inspires the reader. Basically it gives a whole different perspective about world around us visible and invisible.    Practicing these ideas and ways will transform to a complete different person with inner enlightenment. I do not know why but I have been feeling really great about myself and everything in my life ever since I started reading this book. It describes

Remorse

    I am sitting in my chair in the middle of the garden laying my feet to a wooden chair, holding my laptop in my lap. Birds are singing all around the parameter. Now that there is no traffic on the road and no student in the college their songs are vivid, very clear and kinda melody. Sky is cloudy and the weather is a little colder than what it is used to be at this time of the year.     Today is not different from any other day. I woke up again with a sense of determination that today I will study hard and start preparation for my final papers. But haven't started yet, watched two movies, in between slept for a while, had lunch which was no so great by the way then came outside with my computer thinking that I should read the book which I started two days ago but after three pages got bored. I gotta tell you reading from a PDF file in your laptop is not such an easy thing to do. I have tried before but failed excessively now that no other option is available because of l

The Alchemist

  The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho       Today I went to library after lunch to submit my old book and issue some new ones. Most of the books in our institute's library are utter crap. You can barely find a good book, So when I could not a good new book I winded up issuing an old one The Alchemist. It is a wonderful book from Paulo Coelho, how I know it is a wonderful book? because I have read it twice before. The reason why I started reading again is that I love it has a nice story most of all the quotes which the author uses are amazingly incredible. I am gonna write some of those quotes here simultaneously when I am reading it.   # "Everyone seems to have a clear idea of how other people should lead their lives, but none about his or her own".   # what is the world's greatest lie? It is" that at a certain point in our lives, we lose control of what's happening to us, and our lives become controlled by fate".   # "When you want someth

The Forty Rules of Love by Elif Shafak

The Forty Rules of Love by Elif Shafak Just right now I finished reading this book, honestly I really don't know what I am feeling right now,  I am a little confused and lost. It had so many lessons and so many good stories. I completely fell in love with the book and the writer. I could not understand though, whether all these events were true or not. It has been written considering every individual's insight about the events which take place along the story. It has a lot of spiritual lessons to teach us about almost everything, and of course those forty rules love of shams of Tabriz were mind blowing. I had read about Rumi and Shams during my high school but now I realize I knew nothing about those two spiritual individuals. Now that I think I had misunderstood the meaning of love my whole life, not that I understood from this book the meaning of love but I learned that I need to read and search about meaning of love a lot more. Infatuation of Rumi towards Shams to Tabriz w
