Waiting - By Ha Jin

Image result for waiting by ha jin
Dear Readers and bloggers and all of you out there. I just about read my first novel written by a Chinaman. To begin with, I want to ask you all a very simple question. What is love? Im sure all of you, at some point in your life have pondered upon this question. Well, is it important to live your life in love or is peace of mind more important. Ha Jin has very well written such a beautiful story with a simple prose. It gives me joy to tell you how clearly he has bought out certain topics that influence our everyday lives.
How often do we envy another and say, “Oh, how green is the grass on the other end”. How much do we know or understand about how easy or difficult is another one’s path. We judge, without knowing. We assume, without asking. We take it for granted, without putting ourselves in their shoes.
We live our daily lives, taking for granted each and every blessing we have received. We find faults in what we have and fail to understand that we may be blessed with more than we deserve.
The author keeps us in suspense and in waiting and we are just waiting to turn the pages of this capturing tale. I couldn’t wait to complete this 308 paged book that gave me a few thoughts to ponder upon.
I definitely took a special message from this book. I would like to share it with you.
*Live and Let Live
*Give each human their space and time
*Remember to cherish what you have with you now, this very moment.
I hope  you all loved reading my review for Ha Jin’s – Waiting. I look forward to sharing my joys and experiences of many more novels with you all. Until then, stay blessed and be grateful. Life has so much to offer us.

Health Habits

Hi healthy people, how often we meet that slim and sakcy cousin. So lean, so fit, yet eats all day long. And then you happen to ask them whats the secret behind their slim figures and they are like, "nothing yaar". Well how does it feel when you are preparing your morning breakfast, two sunny side eggs and two slice of bread. Fine, edit that, make it two slices of brown bread, and then you think, this brown bread is so small in size, let me have three slices , and then you extend you hand towards the packet of bread and then stop. Well that isn't fiction my friends, its exactly what happened to me in the kitchen this am, as i was prepping my own breakfast. Size, shape, look, colour, height, weight etc etc....Isn't that all we think about when we access someone's health. Isn't it so???? Yes, but no thankyou, stop doing that!! You dont access your health based on all those margins, but on the fact that how neat are you habits inorder to maintain the necessary...

When creativity meets fate!!

Five Star for that lady! Five Stars for this Lady! Well Memoirs are always such an interesting insight into the life of an individual. Not only do they put out, whatever was happening in, rather they topple you over with the nitty gritties of how, when and what, but ofcourse in their own very way.  Well everyone has their own perspective, don’t they?!! Coming back to Zarna’s book review, she’s comic, for a simple reason that she makes you laugh 🤭 until it hurts. Not only laughter, but gratitude real life experiences and real time learning from them is what kept me captivated and I could easily sail through the book with the thought that ‘laughter a day keeps the doctor away’.  📚 This American Woman: A One-in-a-Billion Memoir by Zarna Garg has been making waves, and that’s for absolutely good reason for sure.  https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/221289749

Sunset

"Pictures....they say a 100 things....what does yours say??" I  love photography. Its the best captures I make with my phone. Of all the different aspects of life that I get hold of, this one is specially my favourite - the sunset. Its a priceless time of my day - at sunset. What do I see in it? I dont think its very unpopular among you all. Everyone simply loves watching sunsets or taking pictures of them. What remains and stays with us, is what does that sunset mean to us. I would like to sum it up this way - Photographed by the Author - Giselle Gonsalves My kind of sunset, Makes me feel grateful for today, And gives me a new promise for  tomorrow. -ggwrites The sky looked simply spectacular that day at sunset and I couldn't resist capturing it.
