Lets Hope..

Guess this is the worst year for the blog with just three posts so far and it is already past half the year. Whatever is happening to all the unwritten words...

Dear readers, I haven't yet given up :-) This is just a bad year for the blog and I hope it wouldn't stay that way. We all know that the world is a place for the optimists. Hope drives the world. If not for hope, we would not be doing what we are now doing. A thin ray of hope that things will get better. A hope that more and more posts will be written. A hope, that more and more readers will throng the blog. A hope that all the hopes come true. That hope is still alive and I will keep writing.

But.. what if.. what if it doesn't get any better? In fact, what if it gets worse? What if, like the rising inflation, like the unending political drama, like the soaring petrol prices, things just get worse and worse? Would you still believe in "hope"? If all you go through is a rough fate, a forte of problems and a never-getting-better future, will you start believing that it is better not to hope or to hope no better?

Well, that is not my state, thankfully. That is the precise outline of the latest book I read, "A thousand splendid suns", my second book of Khaled Hosseini. Impressed by the first book, I picked up this one and liked the way the author showed what 'endurance' actually meant, taking us through the life of a woman in Afghanistan.
