Lost and Not Found????

The fact that some one is looking for you, someone is waiting for you is so re-assuring. It makes you want to live. I really wonder what happens to people who are found to be missing(what a pun!!) and their well-wishers who wait for their arrival.

I have come across couple of incidents in the recent days that deals with missing people. Last week, I saw 2 episodes of Crime Patrol that spoke about missing women. Whatever may be the reason for disapperance, maybe intentional or pure fate, women are usually such an easy target for people, just because they "seem" to be fragile. 

The two episodes that I saw made me think of all the people who get lost due to some circumstances. My heart goes out to the kith and kin of the missing ones. 

But at the same time, I happened to watch "Gone Girl" movie. The whole plot was a shocker and a complete paradoxical of the issues that I had seen in CP. It was rejuvenating, but still it amazed me to think about the "Gone Girl", who created the missing of herself (oops did I just give the plot of the story!!!)

So the two different sources giving me completely adverse situations of missing has resulted into me losing into something oblivion. 

Well it also reminded me of a lost friend/acquaintance from school. She happened to be one of my closest friends in school for almost 3 years.

But then things turned bitter and we were no longer on talking terms. When I recollect those situations, I am "lost", probably at loss of words, loss of reasons why, what and when it happened. Not that I want my friend back, it never costed me anything to lose her, infact she was at a loss of a lot of things, IMO.

I tried looking for her, I believe almost all my class mates did, but she literally got lost in the world, with absolutely no contact with anyone, at all. 

Too many bereavements, I find myself deprived of words... Maybe this was all that I wanted to say!!!

The fault in me???

Bookhub and one of the most reliable sources The Hindu had this book as one of its best sellers. So I decided to buy the book to know why the book was so loved by many.
I had made a mistake of watching the movie before reading the book, this is the third time I have done this. The first time was the first movie of Harry Potter, the books were definitely better.

Then it was twilight series. I fell in love with the first part. So I bought the book and thus the series. 

Next was this, The fault in our stars by John Green.

The movie was not great but since everyone praised it so much especially for the dialogues, I thought might as well give the book a shot.

I purchased the book and started reading, This is one movie where the screen play completely matches the book. The story is very ordinary, but the way it has been written is very strong. The usage of words in the book is superb. That is the reason I guess, the screenplay matches the lines of the book. 

But for the lines, I don't know why, I did not enjoy anything else in the book. As already mentioned, I did not find anything extraordinary in the story. I was left dissatisfied at the end of the book. Maybe I was expecting something more, and to my amazement I am not sure what that more was...

One of the things that I definitely felt after reading the book was,,,,I have read better books!!!

My rating for this book would be only 2.5 out of 5. 

Do let me know your comments on this book...Somewhere down the line, I really wonder..Is it the fault in me???
