After reading a book


 AFTER READING A BOOK


I just finished reading "The Cellist of Sarajevo" in the train and I got so emotional. The character has to get water travelling just around 5 kms. But on his way the snipers would just shoot random civilians and he had to always be in fear. He also talked about shaving his beard in a well-lit room and with hot water. These are the things that I feel I take for granted. I know that when we are feeling down we should not just be happy with what we have and others don't but address the root issue. However, I also had time to reflect and be happy and grateful for what I have. Also I got a feeling of echo inside me that the book is small and more had to be written and also an "happy ending" which leads to the emptiness I had.  

All I am trying to say is please read this book. Now I am reading Harry Potter to do a bit of casual reading. 

Now regarding my life - nothing new has happened, still running around between work, fitness, German classes and also eating healthy, sleeping, skin care, hair care etc.. It is getting pretty overwhelming but I am sure that it will all pay off when I am retired and sitting in my balcony with a warm tea with my husband people watching. Also I would like to bend down and get something from the floor at the age of 60 or more. I hope I am not putting too much pressure on anyone reading this. 

Have a great life.

I do all these things for what? Do people I love know that I love them even though I do not talk to them? I love living alone with so much freedom and eating ice cream late at night, but there is no ice cream unless YOU buy it yourself. There is no freedom when you have no time to experience it. But I am very grateful that I get to do this. There is no women in my family who has ever lived alone. I am very proud of that. But still there are few things that's always in my mind and I just want to put it out somewhere. That is why I am starting this blog. Also I would like to improve my English by writing more. This week's goal is to finish a book that I am currently reading. It is called "The ...
