All that could have been

Humaari Adhuri Kahaani

I have not seen the movie, I have just read the book.
It is an easy read, and is a very typical Bollywood love story but with some sensitive issues involved.
If you want to read the book, do not read it for the storyline.

Read it for the dialogues.

I really loved the dialogues in this book. Describing love is perhaps one of the most difficult things, but throughout the book, you will come across different definitions of love that would just make you sit and ponder on it for quite a while.

Here are my favourite quotes from the book:

" If she were that simple, would she be worth seeking?"

"Why did it seem so difficult to talk about love?
Because the world offered, again and again, instances of love, not just love that was mentioned or spoken of but love in action. Only a cynic could doubt the power of Love or it's reality, and only a fool could be a cynic"

"Joy and woe are woven fine,
a clothing for the soul divine.
Under every grief and pine,
Runs a joy with silken twine."

Living

I'm not sure what I want to be or do. All I know is that I want to live. To me, living isn't about having a big title or a fancy job. It's about enjoying the simple things. It's about feeling the morning sunshine on my face, laughing so hard it hurts, and crying to release the pain. It's about finding peace in quiet moments and letting my mind wander. But life isn’t always sunshine and pretty skies. It’s storms that break you down, darkness that swallows you whole, and days when getting out of bed feels like swimming through raging waves. It’s the crushing burden of expectations, the fear of failure, and the lonely feeling of not fitting in. I’m tired of pretending to have it all figured out. I’m a person, a whole, messy, complex person. I’m the quiet kid who dreams big and the friend who’s there for anyone. I’m the one who’s afraid of heights but jumps off cliffs anyway. I just want to be me, with all my flaws and strengths, my hopes and fears, my joys and sorrow...

Beliefs (A book review)

Why I Am An Atheist - A Pamphlet written by Bhagat Singh This book isn't for a weak-willed person, but for a person with an uncompromising heart, who will not follow this blindly, but will question it, criticize it and think it over will actually understand what this book is about. Because this is what Bhagat Singh conveys to us by his book To question our beliefs. We all read history in our school, what we really don’t learn are the reasons behind them, the feelings of the revolutionaries. And even if someday history repeats itself, what will matter the most is the fact most ignored in our curriculum. How those times were for an individual, how it is being in jail constantly fighting your solace, questioning your beliefs? My favorite quote from the book is "the sword of revolution is sharpened at the whetstone of thought" Are we still not colonized? Because we still understand things from the perspective being imposed on us by society. We still do not qu...
