The kite runner in all of us

khaled hosseini.....The Kiterunner

i fail to believe that this piece of work is FICTION

i fail to believe that hassan is just another character weaved into letters paragraphs n sentences...

i fail to believe that the innocence of sohrab is the wonderous imagination of mr.hosseini

and i really fail to believe that love sacrifice compassion regret guilt n redemption all of dose cud be so beautifully elaborated in just 324 pages!!

phew!!

i m not letting out the climaxxxx-----so u can read on....:)

evryone of us has n will hav or might hav had a kiterunner in our lives....a person who despite the "relation"[ blood or otherwise] wud'v ran kites for us...

ran so dat that last kite falling wud bring a smile on our lips...

ran so dat all our anxities fears n apprehensions in life wud be cut maybe snapped just like a falling kite...

there's a kiterunner in everyones lives....a person just like hassan----honest..loyal...the ultimate companion who can luk into your eye...gauge your moods....read your minds....let u win delibrately..rejoice in your victories....fight for you wen u're weak...

proudly put your burdens on their backs...n make u see the beauty of life...

the irony---we never recognise that kITErUnNEr...

n wen we do---either its too late....or we dont value...

just like amir...

we all might identify so much with amir...

the bindaas childhood..the craving for our mothers/fathers love[even wen we know they love us unconditionally] the secrets..the regrets...the guilt of doing so many wrongs...the burden of "IF"s and "BUTS" and the constant----------"i wish i cud have...."

so much that if we really go to see...very few of us live in the present....its just the constant regret of the past....or the never ending anxiety of whats ahead...

its so sad...that sometimes u really wish to go back and change something...that one thing..that one event..that one moment...that one thing.....n u can do NOTHING...absolutely nothing....

Mostly people these days live by the policy of "Not to forgive and never forget"

but amir's atonement of his guilt...his thirst for redemption gave me an all new meaning of "FORGIVENESS"

people like hassan are so rare...so few...maybe an extinct species...

but we all hav a bit of him somewhere..

the bit of him wich urges us to sumtimes do crazy things for ppl whom we care for..

the bit of him wich loves even those goddamned ppl who hurt us in watever ways...

a soulstirring story of ali..hassan..amir...baba...sohrab..sohraya...which ll wake up dat lurking kiterunner in each heart...

this one was just for hassan-----for u dear hassan...a thousand times over!!
