It hurts when you could easily forget the memories we shared,
♥
the ones which I remembered even when I didn't want to.

Quotes.
'Missing you isn't the problem, it's wondering if you'll ever come back that's killing me.' 'Sometimes when you sacrifice something special, you’re not really losing it. You’re just passing it on. ' ♥-/Increased.Heartbeat ME. I'm a simple girl living in a complicated world. I'm friendly and purple-struck. I get high at wrong times and I want to stay like that forever. I don't do drugs, I'm not in any gang. I'm that normal girl who is on Facebook, Twitter and MSN. Fell out of love and lost trust in it. Fahrenheit's sizzling hot and they burn. I see flames shooting out already.
Screams.

the village by the sea
sambit reviews.:
The overall book is a simple depiction of life through these children. Though ends with a reasonably positive hope the book definitely raises the issues on rapid urbanization and the effect of that on people's livelihood and existence for future.A nice book to read on survival. aman: it has left an impac(impact) on the reades(readers) who have read it . aweasome(awesome) natasha mokhtar: I did not enjoy this book that much. The plot is good and the storyline is good but it doesnt quite flow together. The second half of the book is very enjoyable and i liked reading the later half. Overall an ok book. balkar: This is an excellent book about an asain family growing up in a village by the sea. Anita Desai has written extremely well, incorporating what life may have been like from a child's perspective. This is a book which is worth buying for your bookshelf. someone: Set against the backdrop of a seemingly timeless coastal Indian fishing village, Anita Desai's moving story demonstrates that even the most beautiful rural outpost cannot avoid the powerful thrust of modernisation. As the impending arrival of chemical factories threaten local livelihoods, teenager Hari is forced to leave his native village Thul in search of a fortune that he believes can only be found in the glamorous and enticing city of Bombay. With three dependant sisters, a sick mother and a drunken father to provide for, Hari is devastated to discover that the streets of Bombay are not paved with gold as he had anticipated.Based on true events, Desai tells a story of human endeavour against the odds of grinding poverty, monsoon destruction and fatal illness. A forerunner to Arundhati Roy's 'The God of Small Things', 'The Village by the Sea' is also written through a childhood perspective, but unlike Roy, Desai does not underscore her narrative with adult judgements and cynicism. Childhood dreams and disillusionment are skilfully intertwined with a powerful sense of place and a breathtaking landscape which is on the brink of irreversible change. I would recommend this book to anyone who is interested in learning some of the truths about the diverse country of India. hmm... done! |
