catastrophic journey

 Last few days I have been travelling a lot. Had a lots of good and very bad experiences. When you go to some places it is very hard to figure out where exactly you have ended up. You know, english doesn't come very handy when you go to rural areas.

Living your life without even knowing who you are, although your entire family is standing in front of you    you don't recognize a single member in them, you starts forgetting how to communicate, you need someones help to do your daily routine.It is hard  to imagine living such a life, then how co...

Sam's Letters to Jennifer

Image
After long days of half an hour reading,I finished reading this novel written by James Patterson. This story is amazingly beautiful.The story starts with Jennifer visiting her grandmother Samantha in the hospital who is in coma. Jennifer finds the letters written to her by Sam. The story continues with the revealing of the hidden love story of her grandmother and Doc. Meanwhile her visit in the hospital, after a very long time Jennifer herself finds a true love Brendan, who is her childhood friend. The story tells about the relationships and its beauty. Anyone reading this novel will find it nice, simple and elegant.I don't want to reveal the suspense,so do read the book yourself. Happy reading!!!
