A summer place

It was one of the days when I wasnt feeling productive and decide to waste my time listening to songs in You Tube when I stumbled upon an instrumental by Percy Faith called 'A SUMMER PLACE'.And I love it very much!!!.In my mind I imagine a hill besides the sea,with soft winds blowing and the sun shinning on the earth.I think I have heard of that song before but couldnt remember when and where.


When I searched in the internet to find out more about this song,I found out that it is based on a movie which is based on a book by Sloan Wilson.And your guess is right,I googled the book and bought one from Abebookstore as a present for my birthday.(yeah..I like to buy present for myself on my birthday).


Actually I was a bit disapointed that the story is more about their kids-a teenagers love story rather than the story of their parents.But still its a good book.It makes me ask myself whether did I ever felt that deep,strong feeling of being in love when I was a teenagers?Hmm..I dont think I ever did fall in love like that.Though I am actually romantic at heart but unfortunately all my previous boyfriends and also my current husband are not.So my love stories were all boring stuff and not worth making a book out of them..hehe.
This book also makes me wonder how it feels like to live alone in an island.I am sure I will be very lonely unless,I am with a person that I truly truly truly love..which I have not met yet.(and dont think I will..hehe)

Sad love stories

Sad ending love story always gives you more emotional impact compared to happy ending ones.Don't you think so?
I have two books in my mind which have make me cry like a baby and feeling so sad for dayssss..(I know I am exaggerating..).
The two books are NIGHTS IN RODANTHE BY NICHOLAS SPARK and THE BRIDGES OF MADISON COUNTY BY ROBERT JAMES WALLER.


In both books the couple met and spend time together only once(1 or 2 weeks) in their life time before they got separated and ultimately one of them died.Isnt it soo sad???I mean they are madly, deeply in love and yet out of the many years they have lived they only got to be with each other for few days??I find that so depressing.How do you feel when you have met your true love,then got separated and never see him again?

Memorable quotes from the Bridges of Madison County:
"When a woman makes the choice to marry, to have children; in one way her life begins but in another way it stops. You build a life of details. You become a mother; a wife and you stop and stay steady so that your children can move. And when they leave they take your life of details with them. And then you're expected move again only you don't remember what moves you because no one has asked in so long. Not even yourself. You never in your life think that love like this can happen to you."

Robert: "The old dreams were good dreams; they didn't work out, but glad I had them."
Robert: "Things change. They always do, it's one of the things of nature. Most people are afraid of change, but if you look at it as something you can always count on, then it can be a comfort."

Memorable quotes from Nights in Rodanthe:
Dr. Paul Flanner: We all make choices, Adrienne. You chose that life, you chose that man. Do you even remember who you really are anymore?
Adrienne Willis: When Jack left me, it wasn't just our marriage ending. It was the loss of all the hopes that I'd had for the future. I tried to move on, but the world didn't seem that interested in me anymore. Then you came along, and helped me believe in myself again
Adrienne Willis: I know you've only ever known your father and me. And I love Jack, because he is your father. But there's another kind of love, Amanda. One that gives you the courage to be better than you are, not less than you are. One that makes you feel that anything is possible. I want you to know that you could have that. I want you to hold out for it.

Norwegian Wood

As I am writing this ,I am listening to the song NORWEGIAN WOOD by THE BEATLES.I may not pay attention to this type of song before but after reading the novel of the same title I kinda like the melody and sound of the guitar played by them.


I just finished the book last night.Eventhough it was quite slow at first but towards the end it became more interesting and I couldnt stop from reading it till the end.(ended up sleeping at 12midnight which was an unusual time for me to sleep).
It was quite a sad story about love,sucide,loyalty...The authors words are so beautiful and he can describe everything in detail which makes it easy for you to imagine what he was trying to say..But the ending leaves me in confusion and I wish somebody can let me know.Did he commit suicide too or did he end up suffering mental illness like the others?
