What book are you reading?

Just finished reading the "Kiterunner" by Khaled Hosseini.

A brilliantly written book, I have read in a long time. The relationship he has potrayed between the two boys is simply worth praising.

Had me completely engrossed till I finished it. Definately on my favourite list now.

Highly recommend it.

Torture!

I hate going to the gym.. yea okay I do want to lose weight but the process is very very painful...
But I have a target and I have to reach that target by hook or by crook.

In India, there is something or the other happening so you are never at home bored..and with going out so often and with all the eating out,it gets very difficult to keep up with the whole diet thing.

But enough is enough for me now..I have a target for one month and lets see how I do.

I hope I can do it.

So be it..

In a world full of people who are growing by the day, in their thoughts,ways,lifestyle,habits there are still some people who believe that a woman has no right to live the way they are supposed to. A man who feels that a girl should be educated only enough so she can go get married by the time she turns 20...( amazing how he didn't say she should be married the day she was born).

A man who feels a woman, after her marraige, should only be there to serve her husband food, take off his shoes after he returns from work, should only eat after he has done eating and so many other things.. the wife can't question the man about any decision he takes and the husband doesn't even have to discuss anything with his wife.. after all he is the decision maker and smartest of all ..who cares about what the wife feels about the whole thing. In short, he needs a slave.

A lady met this man recently and when she questioned him about his doings.. he walked off. His ego was deeply smashed...how could one of the "female" species be so open, bold and daring and how dare she look into his eye and talk to him..especially when a particular "relation" here is involved.

He couldn't understand on what just happened when this girl told him how she thought he was living in a world of his own...and how disillusioned he is.
But he walked off...still continuing to think what he has believed in all his life and will all his life.
..sad part is we can't do anything about such people.

feel sorry ...for his relatives.
