hullo!

it feels great to wake up in the morning knowing that (the borrowed) today is ALL mine.
i've finished my third book this holiday. the last one was madras on rainy days. this book happens to be not so bloody popular like other bloody popular books that are all on loan. nevertheless, its still VERY good. i didnt know what its about until i started reading it. anyway, its about this Indian girl, Layla, who migrated to USA and came back to India to get married to her arranged groom. its so complicated (like any tamil movie, only this one is in english and no unnecessary sound effects and dance scenes where the nenek of the family dances with the appa of the other family). its the kind of story where you thought the pain had ended where it stopped. but no. the author is so smart to play around with our expectations, hence the continous shock as u flip the pages. although the ending was far from what i thought it would be, i felt a sense of relief, knowing that thats exactly what Layla had wanted. all the initial happiness and hopes were merely a facade to conceal the irreparable truth.
well if theres one thing i learnt from this story, its that your life is your choice. others can shape you into who they want. others can plan your past, present and future. others can say anything about you. they can do anything but if u cling on to ur pride, they cant take anything from you.

now lets move on to the new read: the marsh birds.
