I'm so busy designing calendars, cards, etc etc that I find reading more therapeutic than blogging. I'm currently reading Shantaram by Gregory David Roberts. It's a real story of an australian fugitive who hopped from one country to another including India. My next novel will be Such a Long Journey by Rohnton Minstry.
Indian writers or writers who'd basked themselves into the intricate Indian culture usually writes explicitly and beautifully. My first Indian novel, The God of Small Things defined beauty. My second Indian novel, The Inheritance of Loss by Kiran Desai, daughter of Anita Desai defined Loss. Unlike american or britsh writers, Indian writers define the intricate nature of a story. They Define.
Coool Gileer.
Since my days are becoming even more hectic than university life, I'm having trouble sleeping at night and out a whim, I'd found out that rock songs are my lullaby. My personal favourite is INXS with the new addition of JD Fortune and Jared Leto's 30 Second to Mars. I guess rock songs are my anxiety pills. Haha.

Are these songs UnIslamic? Hahah. I don't think so. Most rock songs are not about sex and drugs but more on personal reflection and undealt emotions. Say what you want, but Nasyids are lame. I'm not conditioned to think this but today's nasyid is a sample of musical complacency. Period.

its a coincidence that the book im reading right now is shantaram. :)
after a while searching for it, i finally found it at penguin's warehouse sale. and cheap, too! rm15 for beautiful literature --quite a deal!
i am still somewhere in the first 100 pages out of its 900+ pages, and i like it so far :)
anyway, selamat bercuti.
cool isn't it?
and plus, it's a real story. What can be cooler than that?
I'm more of a hopeless romantic who reads David Baldacci, John Grisham and Nicholas Sparks..hahaha!!
I enjoy the music, though. Should act "Blue October" and "Taking Back Sunday" to that list.

I think it's interesting that Malaysia defines certain types of music as unIslamic. There are diffirent mediums to spread messages I think. After all, look at the abundance of Christian rock bands out there!
It took me such a long time to finish reading God of Small Things... I love the lines so much, I actually had to read them 2,3 times and immerse myself with the beautiful weave of words before I could move on further.
Thanks for the recommendation of the books by Indian writers. Been having doubts to get them coz tak pasti if they could fair against Ms.Roy. :-)
Arundhati Roy's the BOMB!
Hopeless romantics reads John Grisham? Aik.
Hopeless romantic should read Jackie Collins's books. Hahah. A lot of literal 'heaving' and 'weaving'
heheh.
