Read a story by Guy De Maupassant yesterday night..The Inn. Marvelous description of beauty turning into utter despairs and fear…fear of being alone, the pain of loneliness..Sometimes I wonder at the capacity of these writers to feel the intensity of the characters created by them or rather the planned carving of the characters..their own creations. Thousands of words come out at length to bring out the tempest of emotions, the dichotomy of virtue and vice running parallel to each other within an individual, the labyrinth of thoughts and feelings..all turned into black and white letters. Following the flow which amasses the spread of these extensions takes to an entirely different world altogether..which is fiction and yet appears so real ..the power of simplicity in an author’s work…
In past few years I have read a whole lot of books, mostly classic literature though I cannot boast to have a memory strong enough to list down their names or the names of the characters within a story. I will be at loss if asked to describe the beauty of literature which they carry…it has just entered and settled within me.

I like short stories and prefer Chicken Soup Series. Anyhow the last two books I read were - "one night @ the call center" & "5 point someone" by Chetan Bhagat. He has an interesting writing style. Waiting for his "The 3 mistakes of my life"
One night & 5 point both were awesome... Reading these books was an addiction. The narration was beautiful and it gives u the feel of urself sitting with ur friends & sharing the school days. The metaphors used made me giggle at every page. I read both these books in one shot. That’s something unusual for a non reader like me.
CHEERS !!!
