FINISHED.........

i am very fond of literature.but it had been quite somewhile since id actually read a book at a strech.the last one i picked up was amitav ghosh's 'the hungry tide'.my friend had passed it on to me last november.she had been all praises on the way the sunderbans had been described in the book.since i always value her opinions,i started the book then itself.if you actually know me,you would expect me to finish the book within a month.but i took more than 5 months to read 150 pages.yeah right,5 months....n 150 pages.rubs kept on prompting all throught out,'anush,you STILL havent finished the hungry tide....?????'.things had been a little messed up in my head lately.so i decided to put an end to all the rubbish by just planning to finish the book by the end of the day.and i did finish it.i took abt 8 hrs to read the remaining 252 pages...rubs will be glad i finished the book.and yeah,it did help in calming me down.i had been listening to people telling me that im of no use,and that im not capable of anything worthwhile.it was a consolation and it did re-affirm my beliefs that i am capable of something.and oh yes,it is a lovely book,the languauge being superb.although i did not like the way the story ended.i have started another one now.and i must say,as long as i keep reading,at least ill know that anusha is alive!!!!!
