The complicated

Lately i came across some books that were nominated for Booker. One of them i read through..(Room by Emma Donoghue) and the other (A fine balance by Rohinton Mistry) i just flipped and slept. Both courtesy my friend Nitu...thanks dear !
Though room was a nice read...i have actual hallucinations of Jack...but still after reading it something did not clicked with me.
Something did not go well enough. My intellectual taste buds got over-saturated but my juggler mind remained starved.
I had a long craving for infringement with Sidney or a nice Mills & Boons where all goes well and we know plots beforehand. Even the sci-fi sidney style Dan Brown could have sufficed.
Then I laid my hands on a new avatar Belva Plain's The legacy of silence and i am sure by the name you can get its type.
Now after finishing that i got to think that why i needed that stuff. Why people don't see such stuff as so called "Works...".
This is evident in all fields of life whether literature , arts , science, politics , economics and so much more to count.
Why something that is easily comprehensible is not the deal ?
Why "the complicated" is always in?
The answer is itself the Man...the mortal and non-combating Homo Sapien.
Right from Adam and Eve, this legacy is in the go.
One individual is giving x minutes more to the thing the other doing. Thus as a result his product is worth higher and raises the standards.
Moreover , one human aspect that none can deny is the need to be individual. The charm of gaining this numero -uno onus is relegated in the back seat of all devils out here.
But some do suffice without numbers, a class exists that have no conformity for them. They learn to see individuality in their generations, instead of carrying the load, they pass on the Legacy.
Thus a malicious cycle is created that infects all. That urges me to read above my level, urges you to give all a second thought,.
When a scenery in you back house can be beautiful, you still need to visit Alps, because they are more beautiful, after that Zuric , then Himalayas and so on...& one fine day you come back to your back house ,enjoy a tea, discuss Alps, Himalaya and all, but like a warrior after Homecoming.
Last resort is always the soil one. The roots...whatever were yours or mine, they give solace...or may be an escape.

P.S: my excuse to my habits..biggest escape ..the BLOG
