For You A Thousand Times Over..

I loved Khaled Hosseini's The Kite Runner when i read it some time ago. Thanks to priyanka because of whom I got to know that a huge world of emotions like "the kite runner" exists.  I have read it only once, for fear that it would loose it's impact if I read it the second time. I've greatly determined not to watch the movie, for the fear that it would alter my own imaginary images of the characters of the novel. Thanks to Mr.Venki from whom i got the movie, the kite runner. At the end i did watch the film, or this review would not exist. Just finished watching it and I'm breathless. 

The plot of the novel was all set in Afghanistan. This is a novel about culture, humanity, loyalty, friendship, longing for acceptance, love, cruelty, survival and a whole lot of emotions that exist in this planet. One thing i loved in this is, there is a weak person as protagonist which is not usual. 

One of the lines of the novel goes on like this..

"That was a long time ago, but it's wrong what they say about the past, I've learned, about how you can bury it. Because the past claws its way out. Looking back now, I realize that I've been peeking into that deserted alley for the last 26 years "

How else can any one describe the situation better than this. Not many writers are capable of making their words speak for themselves, khaled hosseini is one such writer, who plays with words, and narrated the story that take us to another world of words. 

I would have loved the novel more, if the narration goes in hassan's point of view. It would have been nicer if the author describe the life of that hazara boy, after amir's flee to pakistan. It would have been interesting to have stayed in the line of fire. 

After watching the movie, i had a lump in my throat. A beautiful book that is sure can make you traumatize and even emotional. My eyes were totally moist at the beginning and the tears were palpable when i moved to the climax of the movie. This is the story which will remain in the hearts of the readers for a long long time. 

Last but not the least, the last line of the book which says " For you a thousand times over" is just mind blowing. It is a spine chilling one and which makes us gulp, chill down huge emotions.. 

This is the best book i have ever read and I still like to read it more and more. And the euphoria to run the kites is making me restless, for I missed them completely in my childhood :( .

Random Thoughts on Freaking Friday

I'm really jobless. It's a great feeling which is so rare. I feel like doing everything, but what i'm doing right now? I did nothing that I am supposed to and did everything else but that. confused hai kya?? well, same pinch. That's how I'm feeling now.  So i decided to write what all i have been doing in my life these days.

For the last two months, i can't imagine my life without music. It has become a part of my life. I've spent and been spending hours listening to music and songs which i hadn't listened to for a long. 

Did you ever let music to make love to you?? Tease you, touch you, move you, make you laugh, make you cry, make you feel alive, make you dance, make you feel special ?? I did... 

At first something appealed, the lyrics, music and something. The next time i payed more attention to what actually captivated me. I closed my eyes and just let the music flow through me. I could sense each word slowly entering my brain and slowly creep into my heart, till i subconsciously stop whatever I'm doing and sit in one place, eyes closed, mouth silenced, my ears listening, my brain absorbing and my heart feeling.. 

Sometimes, i find myself smiling, change my expressions passionately with varying levels of intensity. We couldn't help music capturing us. I was elated and sometimes petrified too, listening to the music. So today to all the music directors and lyricists who have the power to petrify the crazy one's, i just want to say you people rock!

While I'm writing all this, sipping a cup of tea which was half full and half empty, I'm feeling the same :( ,so full of feelings yet bereft of companion ship. As the title of my blog says "let's hope", every single day i hope you will love me and every single second you slip away from me like time. Time is flying but i have no wings to fly. I want to capture moments with you and I want to share my life with you but all you have is time for yourself. I'm in search of the "you" i have  mentioned. 

Life sends both laughs and tears in your way, but joys are so powerful that they have the ability to make tearful moments seem mundane. And that is how I'm living. Focusing on the positives, enjoying work and life and quickly getting over and snapping away from the moments i feel low. After all .. zindegi migzara!! 

A bit of emotions can lighten or darken one's day!!
