Things that matter

The struggle to realise the importance of things that matter. It's hard, but you find them sometimes. They pass you by everyday, until you take notice, and realise what a fool you have been not to acknowldge them!

Some things take a back seat, because they are tired of knocking at your door, and being ignored again and again.

Such is life, right now things that matter are advocacy, human rights, a job, a place to stay and last but not the least - family and friends who love you but are away. Realised anything today?

Shout out if you do!

The White Tiger

Arvind Adiga is a pure genius...just started his booker prize winner 'The White Tiger'. Witty. crafty and engrossing. The first few pages have thrown me in a world of nostalgia. It's a strange nostalgia, because it does not belong to me. It's some one's else nostalgia that I relate to, some one who is never talked about - the common Indian man. We know who he is, but fail to acknowledge his presence, or give him the basic dignity.

Only a few pages down, haven't experienced this level of excitement for a book in a long long time!
