I just cannot imagine my existence without books. They literally are my lifeline. When I have nothing to read , I try re-reading. Every time , I re-read a fiction , I always find something new in it. This week , back at "Srishti" , we were starting up with the reviews. Here , we have to write the book review by being a character of that particular fiction , or , in other words , we have to get under the character's skin. This review sessions leaves me emotionally and mentally exhausted , if there is too much trauma or drama in the plot. But I feel this supreme satisfaction after every review session. This Week I chose to be Laila of Khaled Hosseini's "A Thousand Splendid Suns". I was literally exhausted and felt sore and somber after the Session , but it was one of my best review and I swear I was on cloud nine at that moment..........:)
And this time , I'm sharing this few lines from the novel (which I think is the BEST part). If you have not read it by now, make sure you grab a copy as soon as possible , folks!!!!!!
"When they first came to Kabul , it distressed Laila that she didn't knew where the Taliban had buried Mariam. She wished she could visit Mariam's grave , to sit with her awhile, leave a flower or two. But Laila sees now that it doesn't matter. Mariam is never very far. She is here , in these walls they've repainted , in the trees they have planted , the blankets that keep the children warm , in these pillows and books and pencils. She is in the children's laughter. She is in the verses Aziza recites and in the prayers she mutters when she bow westward. But , mostly , Mariam is in Laila's own heart , where she shines with the bursting radiance of a thousand suns."
