life is beautiful ...

my experiences as I strive to be in the now, or simply, just be. my battles and struggles. my victories and celebrations. life is indeed beautiful - simply by virtue of being life. so in celebration of being alive, my random musings, as life unfolds.

Its an amazing book - once u start - u just want to finish it - the author has a wonderful art of expressing human emotions - let me know whether u like it
The other day I saw the movie Kite Runner - not as impressive as the book but a good one too!

it was diwali time, so didn't find the solitude to pick up the book yet. i will now, and will surely share my thots and reactions with u, turi.

ps: i heard the same thing about kiterunner from others too. not surprising though. i have always found books to be a lot more intense then the movies that are based on them - justifiably and expectedly so, i feel.
