haha right! They say na k suno sab ki karo man ki! xD In the end at least you will be satisfied with no regrets at all.

House offr currently.

Well this was one twisty and turvy. Often do we find in movies killers interestingly 'innocent' and well-justifying. Also the colossal damage is overlooked.

This is the second face Japanese art often talks about: there's a dark and light face to everyone; and it's upon us to pick what side of coin in others in judging them (if we should).

Deep down they were all seemingly innocent as they were pushed to corner by certain happenings in their life; their out-of-hands crude emotions; not everyone can control them and there always is a tipping point, after which it just gives way, resulting in astonishing acts at their hands, moments when those once kind-hearted people turn to their dark side. This novel was all about it. <3

P.S: People must watch: "A Tale of Two Sisters" movie, Korean version, after this. (Although it's somehow only half-related, but there are extreme emotions and high unpredictability involved).

[Aakash]

I am done with the book as well.. Who is reaming??

[Aakash]

Okay Officially we are done with the book of current month, I was thinking let's read some pakistani book in the month of August... What do you people say??? So start suggesting any book and then we will conduct voting.

P.S book should be available in soft copy and its availability is the responsibility of the person who suggested it.

[Zarshal]

Any kind of book written by a Pakistani author? Or related to Pakistan's history or current affairs in particular?

I guess related to pakistan's history or current affair will make it boring, Pakistani author will be a good choice in my opinion. Lets see what other thinks.

[Ammara]

Yeah Pakistani author is a good choice. I'll definitely join the Aug read. I really want to join this month too cz i want to read tht book from so long but occupied in so many things but in August IA there's a lot to read ^_^

[Aakash]

Okay then let the suggestions begin... :D ebook availability is mandatory...

[Ayesha]

Tales from the Treasure Chest is an extraordinary book from Pakistani author Ayesha Marfani.

[Ammara]

Before suggesting keep this in mind, which Aakash has already mentioned, ebook availability is mandatory.
Exit West by Mohsin Hamid, very recent newly released book, I don't think so it would be available yet for downloading.
@Ayesha is that your own book? & will you provide this book here, before release date? seriously o.O

[Muhammad]

How about From Sand And Ash!... highly absorbing,,, <3

[Ammara]

That next month will definitely come Nighmmmmmmm when we read urdu books. I would be in for sure.

[Ahmed]

@Aakash
Yaar there is only one book left in the list as you have indirectly eliminated the others. :p
If you are taking votes for the book, then I think there should be some more books in the list to vote. Otherwise, for now, it seems we will be reading Exit West. :p
What you say?

[Zarshal]

I'd like to read urdu too.
But Ahmed kinda has a point here...

[Aakash]

Umm I didn't know about sand and ash that it's not a Paki besides there are two books one urdu and one English ki. :p I gave five days for suggestions of the book. Only a few suggestions were made. :p if you feel like so then OK suggest a book I will add in the list make sure you own soft copy of it... :)

Yeah well... maybe someday...

[Nigham]

Chalo phir suggest karo...

Once Zarish suggested Kartography by Kamila Shamsie. You guys can read that book?
But Amna, Narjis, Abdullah and me has already read that one. I will reread with you people, I guess.

[Aakash]

I vote for krptograpghy

[Fakiha]

my vote is for the Urdu book...

[Abdullah]

@nigham , I am glad that you enjoyed my recommendation.

my vote is for "exit west ". but I have heard that "the reluctant fundamtalist " by mohsin Hamid is also a good book . and we have got other authors like Bapsi Sidhwa ...

[Abdullah]

okay wesay I haven't read Bapsi Sidhwa. I just randomly said the name because once my English teacher strongly recommended me her book " an American brat".

[Ahmed]

My Vote: It's hard to decide but Exit West sounds little better to me.

I think Exit West has more votes. Let's start it from today or tomorrow.
By the way, who is making the schedule? You @Aakash?


@Abdullah
How was your test?

[Abdullah]

@Ahmed I still have a month left at least.

[Ahmed]

@Abdulah
Oh! Best of luck then!
