I have to admit, I am no good at book reviewing. Despite that, I am going to review this one book that I've just finished last night. Because it made me feel something. And I have to at least say, how much I loved it, how much it fed my soul, how much I am inspired by it.

And by it I mean Elizabeth Gilbert's Eat,Pray,Love.

  Mostly, I listened to the audio book on youtube instead of reading it. I read the whole part of Italy in the book and I realized I couldn't make time to continue it. So what I did every night, I turned on my pc, connected the headphones and listened to the book while lying on my bed eyes half closed, the narrator was Elizabeth herself. I really loved it, I could visualize what she wrote in the book. And her traveling story. I loved the fullness of it. Like she knew how to put sentence after sentence to feed the mind of a reader. It was like she was present with me, telling me her exotic stories of spiritual practice and I felt like she knew me, she knew how much I love quotes and I've to say, there are many beautiful quotes in that book. This has to be my favorite among favorites. You know how people say, Books are man's companion, Yeah I feel like this book has been my friend, it understood my longings, it fed my soul with words I unknowingly relish and it just took me in a ride to Italy, India, to Bali. It sparkled some rainbows in my head. I think Liz Gilbert is going to be my favorite author from now on.

opposite sides of a coin

Hi B,  I've been sort of busy with the training for the job and have another interview coming tomorrow. I am torn between staying with the current job and switching or keeping both as part times. I don't know, I guess I will have a decision made if the interview goes well. I have been traveling far for the current one and every time I get on the bus or the the train I feel depression kicking in full force. Suddenly I remember home, the comfort of being around my loved ones, the easy life I once had back in Bangladesh. Certainly, there are things that weren't easy but I guess it felt easy because I was more used to it. Transport was rickshaw and didn't even think twice before booking an uber because I always had some money with me. Now I have literally 200 dollars to go by and I have to think twice to even buy a cup of coffee or a piece of bread. I guess with time, I will be able to save up some money. I am glad at least I got to start working. It is still very overwhelm...

world war?

 Dear B,  I don't watch the news but there has been a lot of speculations on social media of a possible world war III. My sister just texted me that I should save up money as we don't know what that might do to the economy. It is ironic because I just ordered something online last night. Every time I go out, I spend. I don't even have a good paying job and I spend like I have full time. However, one thing I learned from my past is that there is no point in stressing about the future. What I have control over is now. I can either live in the moment or ruin it by ruminating and what good will it bring to my life? Living alone can get boring. However, I am trying to find things to do. Maybe I will visit a bookstore today. Lets see.  I have rearranged the furnitures yesterday. Cleaned as well. The place looks good.  Maybe I will go IKEA. I love it there. Even though I can't afford furnitures, I just enjoy looking at them. Oh what to tell you B. My in-laws are coming this...

"Because nothing makes me happier and nothing makes me sadder than you.”

“If I had a camera," I said, "I'd take a picture of you every day. That way I'd remember how you looked every single day of your life." "I look exactly the same." "No, you don't. You're changing all the time. Every day a tiny bit. If I could, I'd keep a record of it all." "If you're so smart, how did I change today?" "You got a fraction of a millimeter taller, for one thing. Your hair grew a fraction of a millimeter longer. And your breasts grew a fraction of a—" "They did not!" "Yes, they did." "Did NOT." "Did too." "What else, you big pig?" "You got a little happier and also a little sadder." "Meaning they cancel out each other, leaving me exactly the same." "Not at all. The fact that you got a little happier today doesn't change the fact that you also become a little sadder. Every day you become a little more of both, which me...
