Can Love Happen Twice????

OK so after a long period I finally got time to read something...but did I read something good?? well not really but it really made me smile....So now I have Can Love Happen Twice?? by Ravindra Singh on my book shelf ....the book is the sequel to the heart touching story(well some say so)I too had a love story....
To be very honest while reading this book , I was on a roller coaster ride of love and romance....it made me smile.....it made me miss someone more.... it made me laugh........ but unfortunately it didn't make me cry....
The book is simple with simple language,once i got the book i read it in one single stretch and kept it beside it hardly gave me something to remember.....except some romantic tips (*wink *wink)....

But as a fan of romantic novels i didn't find this one heart touching....its just a one time read......

The Salty Coffee

This is one of my favorite romantic story.......

He met her at a party. She was so outstanding, many guys chasing after her, while he was so normal, nobody paid attention to him.

At the end of the party, he invited her to have coffee with him, she was surprised but due to being polite, she promised. They sat in a nice coffee shop, he was too nervous to say anything, she felt uncomfortable, and she thought to herself, "Please, let me go home..."

Suddenly he asked the waiter, "Would you please give me some salt? I'd like to put it in my coffee." Everybody stared at him, so strange! His face turned red but still, he put the salt in his coffee and drank it. She asked him curiously, "Why you have this hobby?" He replied, "When I was a little boy, I lived near the sea, I liked playing in the sea, I could feel the taste of the sea, just like the taste of the salty coffee. Now every time I have the salty coffee, I always think of my childhood, think of my hometown, I miss my hometown so much, I miss my parents who are still living there." While saying that tears filled his eyes. She was deeply touched. That's his true feeling, from the bottom of his heart. A man who can tell out his homesickness, he must be a man who loves home, cares about home, has responsibility of home... Then she also started to speak, spoke about her faraway hometown, her childhood, her family.

That was a really nice talk, also a beautiful beginning of their story. They continued to date. She found that actually he was a man who meets all her demands; he had tolerance, was kind hearted, warm, careful. He was such a good person but she almost missed him! Thanks to his salty coffee! Then the story was just like every beautiful love story, the princess married to the prince, and then they were living the happy life... And, every time she made coffee for him, she put some salt in the coffee, as she knew that's the way he liked it.

After 40 years, he passed away, left her a letter which said, "My dearest, please forgive me, forgive my whole life's lie. This was the only lie I said to you---the salty coffee. Remember the first time we dated? I was so nervous at that time, actually I wanted some sugar, but I said salt. It was hard for me to change so I just went ahead. I never thought that could be the start of our communication! I tried to tell you the truth many times in my life, but I was too afraid to do that, as I have promised not to lie to you for anything... Now I'm dying, I afraid of nothing so I tell you the truth, I don't like the salty coffee, what a strange bad taste... But I have had the salty coffee for my whole life! Since I knew you, I never feel sorry for anything I do for you. Having you with me is my biggest happiness for my whole life. If I can live for the second time, still want to know you and have you for my whole life, even though I have to drink the salty coffee again."

Her tears made the letter totally wet. Someday, someone asked her, "What's the taste of salty coffee?" She replied, "It's sweet."

Pass this to everyone because love is not to forget but to forgive, not to see but understand, not to hear but to listen, not to let go but HOLD ON!!!!

What a waste of time....

I recently finished reading a romantic novel....(though nothing at all was romantic in it),and ended up with loads of disappointment.I expected much from this piece of story,as the author of the book is none other then NICHOLAS SPARK....

The story started of really well making me enthusiastic for what will happen next but as the story started taking off,it became quite obvious to know what is it all about.I also found the writing too slow and quite boring.I have no other words to say but I will never suggest anybody to read this romantic novel (I still dont know why its romance novel...!!!)...ITS A TOTAL WASTE OF TIME....

A book that touched my heart.............

There can be no other best way to keep your mind fresh then reading a good book....well but sometimes u get (atleast me) confused which one should be(book) next.........
well encountering one such incident when i was stuck in a dilemma on which book should be next in my library when i came across the book...A THOUSAND SPLENDID SUNS...author KHALED HOSSEINI
To be very honest i was'nt impressed by its summary but it was the author's name that forced me to make a space in my shelf for this book.And fortunately the book was awesome.....
The story revolves around the lives of two unfortunate Afghan women LAILA and MARIAM and how their lives cross each other,while you read the book u come across the fact that Afghanistan was once a beautiful place to live in and how fate have changed it into a war zone. It describe's how women there are subjugated.The best part to learn from the book is even after disaster and only disaster people there have not given up living,love and hope still survives which is told through the eyes of Laila.The book also explains the history of Afghanistan.
The writing has the emotional touch that will rip your heart,and tears will just flow out of your eyes.
If you are looking for a novel which will not only make you cry but also smile at the end you surely go for this one.....
This tragic,unfortunate,painful and not so happy book has seriously touched my heart........
