Well thanks Kubla for the valuable advise ...@Kubla;<br />Well thanks Kubla for the valuable advise and the recommendation........looking forward to that. <br />Well for me devoting that much of time on these things like 'literature' or 'films' as bhaiya (Alok) or you do is more of a wastage of time as far as the present status of my 'being' is concerned. I am busy with more important endeavors concerning my life and its 'security' and hence, though its sad, for me presently its hard to devote time to these otherwise important things.<br />Sometimes, when I get much time, I think of these things and then a few of times get something to read or watch. <br />I am still in the preliminary stage in literature and hence tend to start with something that is simple to read and understand and then look to develop the hobby of doing these things and may be then would be able to take things more seriously.<br />About this very novel, it was, as I think, amongst the earlier novels that Alok read and he liked it very much at that point of time. According to him, it was simple had nothing much to infer and deduct or analyse from this and hence would help me to develop a (an all important one) SENSE of literature in me.<br />Well, thanks again for coming here and leaving your valuable comment!!!<br />and pl let me admit this, I am a big fan your poems!!!!HEHEHE :)Aashuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01903987800218010521noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7308606979720379571.post-23826863572172813342009-09-29T23:18:33.332+05:302009-09-29T23:18:33.332+05:30Thanks.
I just tried to be a bit intelligent, for...Thanks.<br /><br />I just tried to be a bit intelligent, for a change! i saw his blog linked to yours, i read a few of your posts, you mentioned a quote from plath, saying my brother etc etc, i know he is from Patna, he has told me that, so there. i assure you, i am not a clairvoyant or insane, even though i have such a strange name. did you tell him about my message?<br />it is good to know that he is well. in the blogging world, nobody bothers when you disappear, bit i was wondering whether returning to native soil had eased his angst? <br />i understand you blog too but yours is a field that i dont know much about, bollywood etc.i am familiar with the generalities. regarding your latest post, this novel is not one of my favourites though i admit having read it years ago which does not help. i remember Hopkins in the role but he is such a dedicated actor in creating monotony that i dont like the movie either.<br /><br />as a piece of free advice, you must ask yourself: why should i read so and so? why this and why not that? the strangle of certain books in'literature'circles is so strong, one cannot breathe properly.and the popular notion of great literature must be challenged constantly. why is Kafka or Proust great? why not so and so? and are they just great writers or great men too? and what is so great about them? <br /><br />you have Alok's blog to guide your choice though he focussed on Autrian-german literature mostly. i don't know why, but being his brother, i say to you: read Robert Musil's The man without qualities. take a year over it. it is one of Alok's favourites too. i have stopped blogging but i may start again. something tells me, i must. but then i may not.<br /><br />take care and thanks.Kubla Khanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11973223751363547679noreply@blogger.com
