Thousand splendid sun by Khaled Hosseini

This book was recommended to me by many people. I have still not read The Kite Runner and i will make sure that it will be my next book.

About this book, it is amazing as everybody said. As I started reading this book i found it little depressing. I read the whole book because i wanted it to have a happy ending. This book is about Afganistan, women and Taliban. I hope you get the point that why did i find it depressing. With all the mishaps with the women it was terrible to know that what they had to suffer.

At first i thought i wont recommend this book to anyone, but then i realized and being a feminist i want everybody to get aware about the conditions in Afganistan and what it had to go through during the Taliban time.

But in the end I was refreshed by the tiniest hope the character in the book had. I will give this book 4 out of 5 go ahead and read it. :)

Tanu weds Manu

I expected too much from this but alas it was not able to reach upto my expectations. I was badly disappointed.

Kangana Ranaut with her coarce voice tries to impress that she has studied from DU and has a rebel like attitutude but she portrays herself as a dumb girl not knowing what she wants in life, whether happiness or just wants to go against her parents. Basically acting cool.

And Madhavan falls in love with her when she was sleeping only by the looks of her ( may be.. :P). and Kanagana uses him for her own amusement. And Madhavan acting sweet is ready to sacrifice everything for her. (wierd! :-o). Kanagana is in love with someone else and want to marry him or she thinks that she want to.

We all knew that they had to meet in the end as the movie's name suggests but then the whole process was torturing and i wont recommend anybody to watch this movie because it dod not have any sense. I will give it only 1.5 out of 5. So if you want to go and watch it.  Watch at your own risk. :P
