Wonderful Words

BHOOL GAYE HAIN KI JOOTE KAHAN UTAARE THE.....

Chhoti-chhoti chhitrayi yaadein
Bichhi hui hain lamhon ki lawn par
Nange pair unpar chalte-chalte
Itni door chale aaye
Ki ab bhool gaye hain ki
Joote kahan utaare the.
Aedi komal thi, jab aaye the.
Thodi si naazuk hai abhi bhi.
Aur nazuk hi rahegi
In khatti-meethi yaadon ki shararat
Jab tak inhe gudgudati rahe.
Sach, bhool gaye hain
Ki joote kahan utaare the.
Par lagta hai,
Ab unki zaroorat nahin.

At First Sight by Nicholas Spark: My Take

Plot of Book

This is story about true and everlasting love, which starts just at first sight and embrace you for rest of your life .At first sight starts at the point where two people had already fell in love and their life journey onwards. Jeremy and Lexie two center characters are in love with each other from the very first week they met and decide to tie a knot committing to spend their entire life with each other, feeling obsessed by their not-so-old love.

But as story unfolds you will find whether their love at first sight is strong enough to hold them together in various phases of life that often is like roller-coaster ride. Will this miraculous initial feeling of Love will always triumph over their experience of jealousy, pain, uncertainties and stress?

My take on book

Story has that typical Nicholas Spark feel and is written in simple and lucid language. I wouldn’t say book is a catch as although book has moments where I was carried away by emotions in writing but at other points I found myself yawning and has to resist urge to skip some pages.

I am not a great Nicholas Spark fan and if I compare my this book to my only other Spark read “ A walk to remember” I would definitely like to go for At First Sight, it being more mature and realistic than the other one.

So overall a feel good, comfy and easy read but don’t expect anything exceptional.

Words

I have always loved Quotes, One liners or even dialogues where few words make a whole lot difference. They say words are very powerful. I agree, completely and specially when you feel a few words can make you think for whole day or days or may be for a lifetime. I feel completely mesmerized whenever have come across such wise (or otherwise) words.

Below is one such example that illustrate meaning itself

'Your life is defined by its opportunities... even the ones you miss'

A dialogue from movie A curious case of Benjamin Button

South Asian Challenge 2011

This is something very new to me.

These days I have been reading books on and off but have never dedicated myself to any particular reading experience. I came across this challenge called South Asian Challenge 2011 on site called S. Krishna's Books and found it exciting and worth giving a shot.

I am going to take this challenge. Being my first time I think it would be safe to start from initial level. Let's take it !!

Writing After Ages

This posting is dedicated to my revived interest in reading with New year.

Yesterday only I told someone (not to mention with certain amount of pride !) that I always remember stories I like and even before completion of 24 hours of proclaiming these BIG Words, I prove myself to be wrong :(

The other day I was just browsing through one of the blogs I follow and came across a posting in that blog reviewing the book "Illusion - Richard Bach". I remember reading this book while ago and liking it so much (Although not as much as Jonathan Livingston - A seagull by same author). But I remember I liked it quite a bit and sadly I couldn't recollect plot of book except some really good lines when I read the blog.

I think I will have to start reading it all over again (provided I get time and copy of book) to relive that memory.Hmmm....Sounds good :)
