A THOUSAND SPLENDID SUNS : AN UNFORGETTABLE TALE.

One could not count the moon that shimmer on her roofs
Or the thousand splendid suns that hide behind her walls.
Why is it that when the story ends we begin to feel it?
There are moments when a book becomes a part of yourself and then you become a part of the story. 
One such moment for me, was when I started reading A THOUSAND SPLENDID SUNS by Khaled Hosseini. I recently finished reading the 367 pages of Hosseini's triumph.
I've laid on the floor, poured my heart out with Laila and Mariam. I've laughed with them when Aziza  burped. I blushed when Tariq flirted with Laila. With them I've experienced what true love is. With Hakim I've woven dreams for Laila. I mourned with Fariba. With Mariam I've felt helpless everytime Rasheed grabbed her. With Laila, I've believed that all of the hardships a person has to face none is more punishing than the simple act of waiting :)
With Tariq I've trusted and loved every bit of Laila. I wowed at Mariam's courage and then weaped because of the injustice to her. With their eyes I've seen Afghanistan and how from a beautiful land it became nothing. I understood how a nation can be destroyed because of world politics. From a blooming country to a dried land, afghanistan and it's people have been crushed due to the two super power nations. 
Khaled Hosseini has the purest soul on this planet and is a natural storyteller for sure.
I believe that 'peeing is like reading a good book, and that is very very hard once you start' (:Paper towns). I've read A THOUSAND SPLENDID SUNS twice till now and it is a book that makes you cry, makes you laugh, makes you feel pain but most importantly makes you understand about sisterhood and the crazy love we as women share. It taught me lessons and how important it is to be brave, and how magical it is to be in LOVE.
Thanks Khaled, for writing such a masterpiece. It is a must read, indeed only the hardest of hearts could fail to be moved.
(Tariq and Laila, you guys set the goals high for me <3)

    Your expression makes to feel every word...continue with it. Summarising your felt emotions in few words is something i liked. A bit of factual presentation of the situation in which Afghanistan finds itself in made me to connect and feel the intensity this piece of work must be having. 👩👍

    This was a very beautiful summary. I love it when readers get involved with the emotions in the book. And Khaled Hosseini is an amazing storyteller indeed.

hello, long loong time no see, happy new year to everyone reading this, firstly omg, have been meaning to write something for a really long time, so here i am back with something called "originality" we are all already living in the world of AI, where nothing is quite original, nothing i was texting one of my friends and realized, how even our thoughts are not of our own, unbelievable haina? not even our thoughts, the way i look at it, is that we are what we consume, literally all of our thoughts are just an amalgamation of what we consume, what we watch, what we read, what we hear from others well, i know even this thought of mine is not quite unique; all of us must have thought about this at some point in our lives.  we continue to grow, un-grow (not sure if that's a word, but yk, what am trynna say right?), with nothing belonging solely to ours.  scary and beautiful @the same time since nothing belongs to us, we belong to nothing as well which makes me wonder about the...

I HOPE🌻

I hope you find what you're looking for out there I hope you find the kind of love that makes you a softer person. The kind of love that makes you want to be a better man or woman, the kind of love that believes in you and supports you, that stands by your side. I hope you find someone who shows you just how deeply you can feel, just how deeply you can LOVE. I hope you find something real, because nothing is more beautiful than loving someone who loves you back. Nothing is more beautiful than loving someone who builds you a home in their heart. I hope you find acceptance. The kind that rings through your bones,the kind that quiets the voice inside of you, that tells you that you are not good enough,or that you are falling behind. I hope you forgive yourself for the mistakes you have  made, for the past you keep alive inside of you. I hope you learn to let go of the things you had to do in order to heal, or to grow, or to survive 🌻 You are doing your best, you are human. I hope you...

dead poets society

  DEAD   POETS SOCIETY O Captain, My Captain The movie   revolves around parental pressure, friendship, but mostly it deals with the   concept of carpe diem, which is such a washed-out idea nowadays because I only started to appreciate that phrase now I love the dark academia aesthetic,   this movie gives. I loved the visual effect, sound, and location, acting, just perfect. I cried for at least ½   an hour as this movie moves you, in ways, you would never know. This movie has given me a part of myself that I didn’t knew I was missing Dead Poets Society is a movie about a group of 5 boys, from different backgrounds who are studying in this strict disciplinarian all-boys boarding school, the school uses primitive methods of teaching but that’s obvious as the movie was released in the 1990s. Their new English professor, Mr. Keatings introduces them to carpe diem and believed that we should LIVE our lives. Neil, one of the main characters finds his pas...
