Past has always fascinated me more than present and I think that’s the reason why history has always been my favorite subject. My sister told me about Russian revolution when I was in class 7th while travelling from Alwar to kotputli and there I was mesmerized by St. Petersburg…Lenin…Czar and his Czarina…..Later in life due to sheer ignorance I chose science to pursue engineering….though time has not abated my love for history…and I still love reading about “those” characters of past…….each with unique story to tell
Why am I expressing my ‘oh so sudden love ‘ …well…. started reading this book “The Long walk Home” which is basically a story of a guy who survived partition/indo pak war/religious extremism etc all…so reading the first chapter made me wonder about the late 80s and early 90s era when terrorism was at extreme……. I was too young then to understand what was happening around me so all that I have known is going through old articles.. books etc… ….How painful it must have been for all those people who to go through the agony of being branded as terrorist just because they tied a turban on their heads..This book (LWH) is quite interesting and I would surely recommend it …….
Lately I have not done much reading and I was thinking of the time (pre-marriage) when I had whale amount of time to do things I wanted …but now post marriage I hardly find any time for my pursuits….but as wise people say when there is will there is way so may be my will has taken a back seat..
Saw this movie Tanu Weds Manu …….won’t exactly recommend it but in case if you have to watch it..well its not that bad..i think kangna is a good actress who needs major revamping of her dialogue delivery…World cup has started..so have my superstitions….while watching India-England match guzarish was coming simultaneously on Colors…..England was losing wickets the moment we changed channel to Colors and back to match …Hubby would cringe when me and my mom-in-law would see movie…but then kya kare bhai cricket ke liye karna padta hai…
Cricket invokes the true Indian spirit to hilt…..sari duniya ek taraf and cricket team ek taraf……..
SO that’s all from my side…hopefully I shall be regular henceforth……..ciao
