Well The below is not Exactly a book Review but my feelings while reading the book
This is the 3rd book by Khalid hosseni after 'the Kite Runner' and The 'Thousand Splendid Sins''. Hosseni is known for his heart tearing tales, and this book is no exception. It start with a bang in the beginning where abudallah father is telling him and his sister Pari a story which is very engrossing and of course heart tearing tale.
What i like the most is that throughout the book you have to read between lines which reminded me of Paul coehlo so much.
If you think of the novel as one story with sub plots, then u might not like this book. But if you take this as a book with sevral Short stories then you will love it .Basically this books explore human emotions.
Its an emotional love story of a brother and sister. its a story of sister and sister . its a story of a Master and servant . each story is etched so beautifully. Each one of us can relate to some of the situations .
The longingness. when people leaves you for never to return and years pass by and they are there in your subconscious mind and keep coming now and the.
I was very much touched and impressed by the Wahdati's family part. The relationship between Nabi and Saboor and then Nila .So many things are left unsaid which also happens in our real life.
You meet people in your life and they become part of your life and then one day you have to walk in different paths and then you loose connection with them, and after sometimes they are not so important, coz your life goes on. But then someday your see their photograph or see them out of sudden, it reminds you of all the wonderful memories u share with them once. The way you were inseparable and now they are no longer important to you & you to them.
You think of those memories sometimes even dropping a tear. Then you move on with your work.
Lot of time i ask myself ,why cant we keep in touch and be the same with all the people who have been part of our life? The person who was so important to you once has now become just a compressed file in your memory. This is what the book answer- you forget them and that is your blessing. If your are unable to forget all the people you have met ,you will be unable to live in this world.
Every people are playing a role in etching your life story . once their role is over they go but they change your story, some create sub stories and some brings a twist in your life tail but every important person alters the pattern of the story bringing change in the protagonist which is you.
So decide a Goal and play to the characters let people play their role. you just keep playing your role coz you don't know the End . So rather enjoy it.
As somebody has said :" Life is like a novel .You don't know what's in there in the next page".
i Dedicate this Blog to my dear friend rather once my best friend whom i dont wish to be named.I wanna tell you that i will pray to god that i should never forget you.
"Main Jaha Rahoon Main Kahin bhi hoon Teri Yaad saath hain.
Kehne ko Saath Apne ek duniya chalti hain per chupke is dil mein tanhai Dhalti hai ,
BUS YAAD SATH HAIN , TERI YAAD SATH HAIN.
