Under the street lights
From the Blog tanveerrauf [image: 8cdc310bbd9d283ad30bbf08f1edf90f] Yesterday while reading the blogs of other bloggers a phrase seized my present and carried me to my past. After graduating from school, I was inquisitive and excited to be in college. Feeling a like a free bird. We could bunk classes, we could enjoy more in college than school's strict DOS and DONTS environment. We met and made new friends from different schools and different back grounds. I believe every human being is a world in him. Hence I'm very curious to know about new people and their life. There I met two sisters. They looked very different from other girls in their clothes and behavior. They were very composed, shy, sort of introvert and hesitant to mix with other girls. This ignited the desire in me to know about them sopakistanblogs.blogspot.comRead Full Post

From the Blog beanbagtales Anita Desai is brilliant. This book was such a delight! It revolves around Nanda Kaul, an austere old woman who lives alone in Carignano, a secluded bungalow in Kasauli. Her solitary existence is disturbed by the arrival of her great-granddaughter, Raka. As Raka tries to adjust in her new surroundings, Nanda finds herself dwelling on the past & as the summer goes on, many of her old wounds seem to resurface. Especially when her old friend, Ila Das, discovers her in Kasauli and pays a visit. Desai is at her best. The descriptions of the house and Kasauli are beautiful. They reminded me so much of Murree and Nathiagali. But the real beauty lies in how the author has disclosed the past of Nanda Kaul, layer by layer. It is beautiful prose and I thoroughly enjoyed reading it. Thepakistanblogs.blogspot.comRead Full Post
