DADDY
My thoughts ponder over the life of my father, the hardships he must have faced, the love he must have given, the expectations he must have had from me first as a child when trying to walk then a kid trying to learn, then may be a student trying to crack the best of my future and still wishing for the best of my success. Inspite of all that I have lost, inspite of all the generation gap, the chasm that exists in our thoughts and feelngs, he has always tried to support me in the best way he can.
DADDY is one such novel, dunno how I happened to read this one, soon I was totally engrossed in it. The novel evolves the feelings of a father, as caring for his children, for the love of his life, for the best performances in his job. The person thrives to improve the life of his family in the midst of all that he suffers, all that he lapses. Rising with every fall, trying the best of his efforts, neglecting his own conforts for the sake of his children, his family, their future.
The moments he rise after every retrograde in his life, his every decision made eventually grows up to the best possible solution, The novel fully depicts the love, emotions, feelings, care, dreams, expectations. He never minds for when he gets the little or no time for himself to live upon, actually his life is something build of the others, of the one he loves the most. It even potrays what a father feels about his own father and his feelings when he most knowingly re-marries at the age 72. Daniel steel exresses 5 generations in a row.
Though a family drama, Daniel Steel describes it in a most beautifly way that makes us remain captivated till the last page.

The Notebook
Memory of a person is one of the most important things that the god has gifted to a living being. What if its losing, what if its is vanishing day by day, bits by bits, and the space that has been alloted to you is continuously being crashed by a virus. What if one day you ask your parents who they were??
The notebook is something that many of you might be knowing about if you have ever by any chance got to see the movie. But I believe the movie is far too different than the novel itself. The way the author Nicholas Sparks has portrayed the character and the feelings that evokes on losing your love not one but 2 times and then finding the power of your love to be so strong that it makes your soul-mate come running towards you is the most amazing part of the story. The happening of the most unexpected, something that you have never even thought of, just makes me shiver. One of the few gifted stories for mankind. The notebook is worth wasting your time reading if you think novel reading is a waste of time.
Sir Nicholas has bought about the greatest writings of a lifetime that one should really be reading.
