well finally am done readin "a fine balance " by rohinton mistry...for the not so voracious reader that i am..well yes it did take me days to complete the book...
its funny and amazing to realise all of a sudden, that despite being in the know of something [ anything...]we probably still don't know it fully....
i mean we are all aware of poverty, the poor being xploited always,that might is right ...so on so forth...
we all probably know it in a generic sense...
but after readin this book, my oh my, did i suddenly think i was slapped hard in my face!?!?!
the author has so lucidly and poignantly conveyed the emotion and the travails of being born poor...
set during the emergency, its a distressing tale of how the poor and the innocent are forced to attend the votebank gatherings the political parties hold...how the innocent poor are sterilised and castrated with the false promise of monetary gains....how the helpless are ruthlessly left to die...the dirty casteism prevalent in those times,adding salt to the injury....
it also brings out the immense hope and willpower the affected protagonists possess...a zest for life which outweighs the hardships...
a never say die attitude that stares into your face!
mmhhh this and much more...i suggest , go read the book...
it will kindle or better still rekindle the latent humanity we all possess somewhere....
