Boys Don’t Cry

Wrong. We do.

In fact I’m still teary-eyed while typing. I still have that exhausted-from-crying look in my face. Why? I just finished reading a book.

Call it unmanly. Call it whatever you want. I’m being true to myself. I cried after reading a book. Shed some tears while reading it. Connected with it. I’ve never felt like this for a long time. Catharsis, perhaps. Attachment to the characters. A string of mixed emotions. Sympathy for the people. For a country. I got carried away by a book.

For you, a thousand times over.

I guess this line will stay in my head for a long time, I hope forever.

Anyway, I just wrote this because I needed a fix. You know those times when you feel like you just had to do something, no thinking, no questions asked? This is one of those times for me. And that’s because I just finished Khaled Hosseini’s The Kite Runner. I don’t have anything else to say.

Hmm, maybe except for this. You’re missing something big if you don’t get to read this creation.

This is a story about war, violence, discrimination – the most cruel things you can imagine in this world. But most importantly, this is a story of friendship, trust, and redemption from the past. There is a way to be good again.

Peace.

PS I will do my best to make a review of The Kite Runner. Or just write a lengthier post about it. It’s not your ordinary Gen-fiction. It’s something else. I’m actually off to buy my next book but I think no book could compare to the one I just read.

PPS Shout-out to Christian of asteeg.net. He’s the guy who recommended this to me. Thanks, man! By the way, there’s already a motion picture for this book and it’s already on my download queue in torrent. Heh heh.
