Wuthering Heights: Not A Review

-
So, I just wrapped up reading "Wuthering Heights" by Emily Brontë, and believe me it's worth reading. 

On 10th of Sept 2020 , I started reading this book with my friend. I was so so so enthusiastic that I even told one of my friends that I'll be completing this book in just two days. But, Damn!! It took me freakin' 9 days to complete it. 

I still remember the first time when I started reading it, I read around 30 pages in a go but hardly understood a single sentence and reading the book initially was really tiresome cos I was constantly searching meanings of different words so so so frequently [This is my only novel so far that actually contains pencil work ]. I was so frustrated the first day, that I even told my friend that I won't be able to read it any further. Second day, I even took a break from this book , and read another classic " The Metamorphosis" by Franz Kafka. 

Third day, I finally made up my mind to give it a try once again. I started with the very beginning once again. My mother was already acquainted with it's story; so she helped me initially. And after I guess 4/5 chapters, when the actual story started, I started to develop fondness with the story. I even made a family tree to under the characters and there relationships. I used to sit with a dictionary by my side and I was fully dedicated to read it further. 

Right from that day till I guess 7/8th day, I was constantly having nightmares. Although, this book is Gothic themed but I feel it's more psychological. The intense emotions of its characters are worth reading and that actually affected my mind and of course the result was those constant nightmares.

About the characters of this book - Beware!! You are hardly gonna find any normal person in the heap of mad creatures. But, there are actually 2/3 characters that are worth sympathising and it's not the protagonist for sure!!

So, finally it's the very last day, that is 18 th of Sept 2020; and I am done with the book and I do recommend it. But, If you are not a classic reader, this book should never be your first pick but if you have enjoyed classic earlier, then It's a must read. 

Have a nyc read 🌟

HIS LAST NAME

CHAPTER - 1 17th May, 2013 "Krish!! Wake up !! You're going to get late again" I shouted while opening the curtains. "Wake me up when it's 7:00 Sam" he replied in his sleepy voice. "No Krish!! You need to wake up now. Also I'm leaving for Hyderabad today, will come back by the end of this weekend." I grabbed his arms and lurched him but failed. "Okay, Tell me the arrival timing and I'll come to pick you at the airport"  "We'll see" I didn't looked at him this time while replying. "I said Sorry na ... Please forget what happened last time. I'll be there I promise." Said Krish while adjusting his eyes to the bright light that was falling on his face after I opened the curtains. _______ 3 days later, Krish came to the airport to pick me up which was a bit surprising because he never do all these stuff. I know he already said this while I was leaving but he used to make those fa...

WHAT'S PAST IS PROLOGUE!!

Hi everybody!! It just feels too weird, It feels like I'm writing after a decade. But, well it's been only one and a half year. Life's strange; once this blog was so special to me and now it's just another archive. So, basically life has completed changed now. All of us have survived the "apocalypse" - corona, I mean.  From past few days I was looking for some content to write an article; I tried observing life in depth but couldn't found any thing. But, yesterday afternoon only, I asked myself a question "Who's the pillar of life for me? " and spontaneously I answered this to myself "PAST".  Past has been an important life supporting pillar for me ever since I have started understanding the reasons behind continuity of incidences. When I had my first heart-ache (not the medical one but the literature one), I used reading as a tool for distraction and later on I realised, this skill not only helped me to Heal but to comp...

KNOWING THE POSSIBILITIES

So nowadays I really talk to myself a lot. It's sort of bizarre to think of, but I enjoy it the most. So during one of my recent chats with myself; I literally came across this strange idea which I'll talking in today's blog. I feel that our life is just like that standing coin on the ground; which basically leads to no clear cut conclusion on head or tails. The angle with which we see the coin actually decides its fate. If I am seeing from right/left side , am gonna see a clear cut conclusion; either heads or tails. But if I'm seeing from the top; It's again a dilemma to chose one side. This is actually what really happens with our lives as well. And when the coin is in the air while that flipping process; all we hope to see is just one clear cut conclusion but what we avoid to think about are the possibilities of it ending at nothing. People take decisions (sometimes due to the heat of the moment) and regret them later. And then they try to make some amen...
