A Thousand Splendid Suns
A stunning book. I am at loss of words to describe how good it is.
It puts LIFE in perspective. There are people in this world who are not allowed to live. They just do not die. Their lives are a wait for death. Not that they do not want to live. They are deprived of the freedom to live. There are millions of such people in the world in many countries. It is sad that we loose sight of their suffering in our so called "troubles". It shall be really sad if in the course of a lifetime all we do is think of ourselves.
Anyway, I recommend "A Thousand Splendid Suns" to everybody. Because people who read this post of mine will surely belong to the "lucky" group of individuals. For all of us, it is necessary to see the life on the other front. Look at how we take so many things for granted. Reading some of the incidents in the book makes me feel realize how trivial things in my life are!
Great job Khaled Hosseini for giving life to such a humane story !

Hmm
My horoscope
In a different context, a part of this seems so true!
You know you're good, but you may not understand why it feels like you need to work so hard and yet get so little in return. It's true that you are probably worth more than you make, yet it's also possible to overestimate your market value today. It's great to aim high, but don't make your goals so unrealistic that you set yourself up for disappointment when you miss your mark.

Last day
Today is my last day at home for this trip.
My sis made something for me. I ate it and I was in tears remembering that I will not have anybody from my family from the moment I reach USA.
It won't be easy leaving tomorrow! especially given that I was here for only 2 weeks !
Life has to move on I guess!

Finally
For once, our cops identify the people behind the bomb blasts. Is it a coincidence that they belong to Gujarat. I don't think so! Narendra Modi, despite of his faults, was the only leader who responded judiciously to the bomb threat. And I will credit him for ensuring a quick investigation in the case!
