Last few books I have finished, interestingly, all had something or the other to do with Afghanistan. From what I have seen of the country(post taliban) all I can associate with it is ruins and Bollywood. Bollywood is out of scope of this post ;). About ruins...One thing that keeps flashing before my eyes when I think of ruins is.....Hospitals...I know...weird....hear me out...
The things that strike me as common between the two...
Dried tears and fresh wounds...
hope against reality, things will get better...
loneliness...
fear...
anger...
a ray of new life (kids...)...
cynicism (with the new life)....
helplessness...
Heroes(not the doctors, the survivors)...
spirit of a fight...
not letting go...
Dependence on money...
The futility of life and permanence of Death...
