Dedicated to Anne

This post is dedicated to one of the best writers I have come across. Anne you are a star. :)

Before I was introduced to Anne's stories J.D.Robb was my favorite Author. She was the only one who could engage my emotions to such an extent I would cry, laugh, smile, feel intense love, hatred, dread etc etc. Eve and Roarke and the gang are my favorite characters and I loved them to bits. I hated the villains and those responsible for Eve and Roarke's childhood and yet these two stars survived and found love and comfort in each other.

Then I started reading chains and Anne you have done exactly was Robb has done to me... You have me hooked to your writing and there are days I dread thinking what happens when the story ends. We are at the 134th chapter of the chains series and you have made me laugh, cry, feel hope, despair, love, hate, and violent to some degree. I have come to a point where I question my own judgement of characters. I love Aman who is a constant in the series. I love the journey Eva and Arnav have gone through, I love Anumita this strong woman who went through so much and still came out to be a star I love Payal and Akaash because even though there are cracks they will stick by each other. Nk and anjali are brilliant in their relationship with each other they remind me of myself and my cousins and the close relationship we share.

I got to a point where I hated Ajit, Shashi and Richard to the extent that i would shoot them on sight. That was the amount of hatred I felt for them and still do. Monsters like them should not exist in this world but they do and they get away with the things they do.

Now its on to Khushi... This was a character I loved i had hoped she would become a strong woman. I had hopes that she would fight her demons and become a woman who would be as strong as anumita, eva and payal. Today I felt my heart shatter to realize that this young lady is beyond all help. I feel despair that i loved a character who could do something so inhumane. However even after she has done what she has I still as a human feel for her. Because of her I have been reading into denial and escapist tendencies.

Anne your writing has me knots and because it is reality i feel dread. my nights are sleepless thinking of what will happen and even though in my bubble I still believe in happy endings for everyone I know you give us a dose of reality that does not have happy endings for everyone.

From the bottom of my heart I want to thank you for bringing the chain series to me and letting me be one of those few people who is privileged to read it. This post is from the bottom of my heart. I don't think I have the write words to show my gratitude and appreciation for your writing. All I can do is pray that you continue to write such beautiful, complex, engaging and mind boggling stories. Anne you truely are a star and today I can proudly tell you that you share that #1 spot with J.D. Robb in my favorite Authors list.

Thank you
KC

Everyday should be valentines day


On this day of love I received such a beautiful email... This is what marriage and love should be about... mutual respect and love... even though the figure is an Islamic Figure I feel this is a lesson to every human. Read and ponder.
 
VALENTINES DAY

And every time February 14th approaches, I think of Imam Khumayni ……

Imam's wife would say, "I was never woken up by Imam praying Salatul Layl
because he would never switch on the room light. When he would go to do
wudhoo, he would place a sponge in the sink under the tap so that the sound
of the falling water would not wake me."
Agha always offered me the better place in the room.  He would not start
eating until I came to the dinner table.  He would also tell the children:
‘Wait until Maa comes.’
He was not even willing that I should work in the house.  He would always
tell me: ‘Don’t sweep.’  If I wanted to wash the children’s clothes at the
pond, he would come and say: “Get up, you shouldn’t be washing.”
On the whole, I have to say that Imam did not consider sweeping, washing
dishes and even washing my children’s clothes as part of my
responsibilities. If out of necessity I sometimes did these, he would get
upset considering them as a type of unjust dealing towards me.
Even when I entered the room, he would never say: ‘Close the door behind
you,’ but waited till I sat down and then would himself get up and shut the door.
His daughter Siddika says: My father had an extraordinary respect for my
mother.  In the period of 60 years of living together, he did not even reach
for food (on the dinner table) before his wife, nor did he have even the
smallest expectation from her.  I can even say that in the period of 60
years of living together, at no time did he even ask for a glass of water,
but would always get it himself.
He behaved this way not only with his wife but also with all of us who were
his daughters. If he ever wanted water we would all enthusiastically run to
get it, but he never wanted us to bring and give him a glass of water in his hand.
During the difficult last days of his life, each time he would open his
eyes, if he was capable of speaking, he would ask: ‘How is Khanom?’  We
would reply: ‘She is good.  Shall we tell her to come to you?’  He would
answer: ‘No, her back is hurting.  Let her rest.’
Here is one of the letters he wrote to her:
To my beloved wife,
O' I die for you. I have always remembered you when you – the light of my
eyes and strength of my soul- have been away from me. Your pretty face is
shining in my heart like in a mirror…..
I really miss you her in Beirut. You can find a lot of beautiful places to
visit in the city and at the sea. What a pity that my dearest is not with
me…...
This has been a good journey so far  trip but you are  really and truly
missed. I miss our son, Seyyed Mustafa. I pray that  God will protect you
both.
I love you so much.
Ruhullah Khomeini
