How long does it take to get over something like this?

Long time no see!

Life has been pretty busy since last two years. Adulting is actually a difficult job. Still I have been trying to read as many books as I can and currently, this one’s on.

“Collected Works of Kahlil Gibran”

I have just started reading this beautiful book and it makes me want to say “Hold on, Adulting. We will deal with you later. Firstly, let’s appreciate the beauty of words that Kahlil Gibran has put together.”

Why don’t people today want to be the better versions of themselves?

Why does everyone say “accept me the way I am”?

Well, according to me, people are too lazy and oversmart these days that they think they’re well aware of everything but on the contrary, people are so full of themselves and are such KNOW-IT-ALL type of people, it scares me. The future that lies ahead of us is in danger because of such people who don’t want to do better, who just want to be lazy and prideful that they miss out on basic things in life.

Hamid, Mohsin. Moth Smoke.

Baguette (homemade) topped with Garlic Butter and some Herbs. Something very basic to snack on. :)

(Also, book that I am currently reading is The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald.)

Wilde, Oscar. The Picture of Dorian Gray.

When Dorian Gray said “Each of us has heaven and hell in him, Basil.” I felt that.

So, I was reading this book today and suddenly had a really strong craving for chocolate cake. I got up from bed, gathered all strength (it was a lazy kind of afternoon) and baked this little chocolate loaf cake.

Also, the book I am currently reading is The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde.

Hamid, Mohsin. Moth Smoke

I read this book recently. It is so beautifully written. Everything is very nicely explained and with the subtlety Mohsin Hamid has portrayed each character in the novel is exquisite.

Hosseini, Khaled. And the Mountains Echoed.

If my future husband doesn't first profess his love to me by telling me that I have bewitched him, body and soul, and that he loves me most ardently, then I don want it

The amount of sophistication in the above underlined part is remarkable.

Austen, J. Persuasion.

Austen, J. Pride and prejudice.

Coelho, Paulo. The Alchemist.

i remember reading something like "people are not rain or snow or autumn leaves; they dont look beautiful when they finally fall" years ago and then I never saw that post again, and yet I constantly think of it and it reminds me how fleetingly life slips away
