RED ALERT!!!!!!!!


I loved the Kite Runner and so i bought his second book- A Thousand Splendid Suns. I did not like it much. I was not able to finish it. I guess part of the fault lies with me. I could not take in the sordid details. My problem is that i like a little splash of happiness here and there. I am unable to swallow stark sadness. So i am writing here to alert people against this book ( for ppl like me).
Of course the book has its moments of truth, when you realize that the author's style still exists in the book. But i can safely say that A Thousand Splendid Suns is simply not as great as The Kite Runner.

Am enjoying this blog, really..:)

The highly contagious virus has brought the entire global economy to its knees. In this environment, what happens to our careers? Feb-March-April is a period when several corporates roll out their annual appraisal. Salaries are hiked, promotions granted, and career advancements planned. This year, however, things look not so promising for anyone as companies brace for adverse effects on balance sheets and glaring losses due to prolonged disruptions in businesses.
