My thoughts after reading the book

Its a lovely emotional love story . The author has depicted the feelings of love,intimacy , passion, envy , sacrifice so beautifully . The second part of the book is so  gripping  that  I just couldn’t get up before  knowing the end of the heart rendering love story  .  The debut author Hamid Baig has wonderfully narrated the heart of Saadiq which limitlessly loves Maryam . The part when  the novel emerges with Maryam’s daughter came so much  alive in front of my eyes   that  my heart pumped faster and I could feel the storyline in my tears too .   Overall I would say that it’s an eternal love story .

Those few  words from the book which made a special place in my heart :-

*We , as human beings are the only ones with the power to help or hurt ourselves or others .

*Not every man with a heart is understanding , not every man with ears is a listener .

*We can’t fear dictate our lives.

At the end I must say that I really enjoyed the novel and if you too  love UNCONDITIONAL  LOVE then it’s a very good pick for you .

Those days ,your sinks used to be piled up with utensils and it stinked so badly .  Dear kitchen , it's been around seventeen years that i am taking care of you .

But you just don't cooperate when they demand Chole Bhature and you also start giving me tantrums . Remember ho...

Why do I write ?

 I have been writing a blog for the last five years and many times people question me why do i write . Well ! I don't have an exact answer . But whenever someone has asked me this question ' Why do you write ?' i have answered in the form of some question only like 'Why do you go shopping ?' or 'Why do you love to  go  on vacation?'  Actually the basic answer is that it feels good . It makes me happy , contented and also a little proud of myself . The feeling when i boasted about being an author is incomparable . May be you don't read me but I keep writing for myself - to reflect on my life experiences and learn from them. Earlier i used to feel depressed when people didn't read me but now it's just between me and my blog . Writing  helps me connect to my creative side and helps increase my vocabulary also. Writing provides an escape when reality becomes too complex. I like to write because it allows me to focus on a subject  and helps me relieve...
