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

Austen, J. Pride and prejudice.

Hamid, Mohsin. Moth Smoke.

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.”

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.

Wilde, Oscar. The Picture of Dorian Gray.

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

Austen, J. Persuasion.
