    Love Story By Erich Segal..
    The novel tells of "Love Story" is romantic and funny, yet a tragic story.
    This story makes one fall in the frames and start living it for real , why? Because all the narrations are kept so true to the reality , they makes one feel , "Oh ,thats how my partner also says or behaves" and thats what makes one glued to reading it.
    "Love means never having to say you're sorry"...

      Hey!
      I am yet to read the "Love Story" by Erich Segal. Your description about the book makes me feel that I should take up this book sometime though I am not a very love story reader. I liked the line "Love means never having to say you're sorry" :-)
      Thanks for the visit & your comment

    Hey there!
    With me it's like I have not been much fond of repeating...anything- books, movies and alike, until I read 'A Walk to Remember'.

    The book had a never before impact on me, and I love both the protagonists- Jamie and Landon (more of Jamie). Now, since I am too bad at remembering quotes and lines, I'll share few moments from the book that really touched me:
    -Jamie's creatively kind gesture where she left tin cans for collecting funds for orphanage kids, at various shops in the town only to pick them up at the end of the year.
    -Landon adding to the fund when it counted up to not very much, and that too from his already about to get over pocket money.
    -Jamie gifting her most precious possession 'The Bible' to Landon as a Christmas' gift.
    -Landon confessing to Jamie's dad "Sir, I love her".
    .............and it goes on :')

    Well, there is this one quote which is evergreen, which you obviously know if you have read the book.
    “Love is always patient and kind. It is never jealous. Love is never boastful or conceited. It is never rude or selfish. It does not take offense and is not resentful. Love takes no pleasure in other people’s sins, but delights in the truth. It is always ready to excuse, to trust, to hope, and to endure whatever comes.”
    (Yes, I had to google it :P. I remembered just up to the first two lines.)

    Most importantly, Jamie's character instilled in me a desire to be like her. :)

    Hey! :D
    I too like the book and the incidents you mentioned. I also like jamie's character and the story somewhat made me too desire to be like her, you know, in some ways. Landon confessing to Jamie's dad "Sir, I love her"- both in book and movie- is one of my fav part in the story too.
    Thanks for this detailed comment. :-)
    Hugs <3

    My all-time favorite is the "Pride and Prejudice"by Jane Austen. The love story of a young prejudiced girl-Elizabeth and a proud Mr. Darcy. She, a middle class girl, caring for her family, she shares a special bond with her Father, she guides her sisters.... He a wealthy man full of pride and superiority... Least did she expect that she'll fall in love with him...
    Their love goes through many trials and tribulations..... Mr. Darcy's denial his love for her yet his efforts to make her happy and helping her in every possible way is remarkable........ The way Elizabeth helps him kill his pride and become a more humble person... All is truly remarkable.... The Jane Austen's witty writing keeps the reader hooked to his simple yet astonishing love story.... I guarantee that if u read the book once you'll surely reread it again....
    There are many quotes in the book that are noteworthy:
    -" Vanity and pride are different things, though the words are often used synonymously. A person may be proud without being vain. Pride relates more to our opinion of ourselves; vanity, to what we would have others think of us."

    - "Our scars make us know that our past was for real" :)

      I had picked up this book long back..when I wasn't an avid reader and afraid of thick books. I put it down after 2 3 pages.
      All these years, I have been asked to read this book so many times. The lines that you shared are awesome. I am surely gonna take up this book now.
      Thanks for recommending and sharing your views & these wonderful lines from the book.
      Please visit more often.

"Again you are scribbling..Can't you put your nose off your books and papers for sometime?" my mother snaps at me as I scribble a poem. "Oh ma!

*FICTION* I was going through all the messages and chats we had shared just a month back. How things change I wonder!! Re-reading them was like going through many emotions. Those lines still gave me the same smile, same laughter the way they had given me a month before or so. Though yes, this time, those were accompanied by a li'l sadness and a wish. A part of me still wished if it could be continued, if we could take it further. A wish that at least it should not have ended so abruptly like this. He thought for a while and thought about calling her. Perhaps he could change this. There was no point in continuing but he was feeling a turbulence inside him. He had always felt something different about her. After his previous relationship which ended on a bitter note, he came across somebody different. The reason why they became friends and then why he chose to end everything were unknown to him. It started all of a sudden and then ended. He knew he had his 'be prac...

The Stranger

*FICTION* Last Saturday, I was at British council, New Delhi  center.  I had gone there to collect my certificate. The receptionist told me that my teacher would arrive in an hour and only then I could collect my certificate so I went to the Charbagh there to spend my time. Since all the tables were occupied (yes there is a good sitting arrangement too), I sat at one of the slabs surrounding a fountain which is there in the middle of Charbagh. I assumed it was a pleasant day but the wind was dry and temperature not as low as I had expected. There were people sitting on the other slabs too. As it was a dry day, I scooped some water on my palm from the fountain. Freshness surrounded me so I kept doing it again and again. After a few minutes I realized a girl was observing me. She was beautiful. I wanted to stare at her for a few more minutes but I did not want to look like an idiot. So I averted my eyes and then moved to the area where there is a sculpture. Th...
