the edge of desire- tuhin a sinha- a must read

i just finished reading the edge of desire yesterday. i started in the afternoon as a casual read and i thought i will just read a few pages and keep it. but i was surprised that it hooked me from the very beginning. i was done with 100 pages in 1-2 hours and after a long time a book had gripped me so badly. i just took a break for eating and even missed the ipl match which i am so fond of! the edge of desire is an amazing read and the story and its characters are so beautifully written, i kept wondering how has a man expressed emotions of a woman so damn well! by far among the most thought provoking and interesting books i have read and though it suddenly ended too fast making me want for more, i still recommend everyone to read it atleast once...

A fire raging within

I am educated, I am independent,  I am the one without whom a house is not a home And yet, in this city full of dreams,  I am scared, full of fear and scared to walk alone... I  am liberal, I am a carefree student, a working professional constantly striving to follow long cherished aims and passions, And yet, in this wonderful world of humans,  I am today too conscious of chasing those very dreams.... I am everywhere, in buses, in metros, autos, taxis,  sometimes driving alone in the wee hours of the morning  or  late at night   , And yet I always feel I am not alone, someone is with me,  someone is always following me, day and night.... That someone is a cold wide open pair of eyes, of  the young and also of the old, and have become my constant companion, wherever and whenever  I go. For  they are always staring at me, eyeing on me, mocking at me and this feeling is shared by many more and not just me"...   It does not even matter h
