My Ride's come to town :D

On a Friday afternoon, despite the long hours of waiting under the hot sun... walking here and there on the platforms in search of him... feelings of disappointment creeping up when he wasn't to be seen anywhere.... blank responses from the officials around... with vague remarks to continue the search elsewhere... I began once more in the search as advised elsewhere... However, it was then that I noticed him being brought out with the help of two men, slowly lowered to the ground and it was then that I truly saw the majestic entrance that he made :P

It was with a smile that I welcomed him, with joy that I ran along to these officials to get everythin in order now that he was in plain sight, within reach... just a few more minutes to pass by before we were together once more :D

However, our joining wasn't meant to be so easy I guess, lunch time had somehow loomed over our getting back together, the officials had to have their lunch followed by a queue for others who were there for materialistic things. Despite all this, when the goal is in sight, when victory seems not far away, the heat, the pain, the hunger all seem to dwindle away and there is a sense of calm, a smile that pulls u along and that is how it was for me. With all the formalities done, there I was finally together with my ride :) :D :D

This joy is something that can only be felt and not told. My Ride's come to town, returned to where it belongs, on the road with me :)



(Heehehehe... funny post aint it... but absolutely enjoyed writing it actually ;) )

A Thousand splendid suns - Khaled Hosseini

" One could not count the moons that shimmer on her roofs,
Or the thousand splendid suns that hide behind her walls. "

Don't know why but I just had to post it here... this is an extract from the email to my friend from whom I borrowed this book. Was intending to read "The Kite Runner" first but was told that this was better (a personal choice of this friend) and was steadfastly given it even before the other :)

Well I do not blame it, I got to read a good book and now I am only looking forward to reading the Kite runner so I believe this book has done its job and stands by its appreciation.

" I finished a thousand splendid suns... amazing book... simply too good. well written, depicts a very true and nice picture amidst all the pain and demolitions... as u said it almost makes u feel as if u were there.... its made me feel good about people.... restored my faith and respect for the afghans.... (nahi seriously) i was sick abt the fact tht they had destroyed so many things and i am not talkin abt just buildings but sacred artefact's, the statues (the most!) .... but i forgot tht just as many of us feel abt it... surely there are their own people who detest it... all tht happened. might sound silly but well it sure makes me feel good... and last but not the least... gives u the strength to believe in faith and having hope. despite whatever there is always light at the end of the road. it might not be the same picture tht u had in ur mind but surely gives u a chance at painting it the way u want... build it towards the way u see it :)

thanks for the book.... honestly... i loved it.... to mariam & laila... inshallah! "

hehehe.... seems to be a bit funny the way i wrote it... not exactly a book review... not entirely how i feel abt the book.... but certainly the way it came out from my mind and onto the keybboards... so not gonna make any changes... am sure i could do a better job at it... but i am gonna let it be. thanks for the book :)

Well.... as I said, not exactly a review...rather not a review but how I felt after reading the book. To those who are reading this post... get a hold of this one... you certainly will not regret it.
