Sorry doesn't make dead man alive.However, sometimes sorry is said because one cannot afford to lose something... That's why some people always say, when you speak think and speak. When you act be alert..
There were many instances where few things hurt me and sorry did not make any change but after watching a movie " moments to remember" (Korean movie) I changed my way of life. In the movie there is a dialogue " Forgiving isn't that hard, It's just giving away just one plain room in your heart. i.e. Forgiving is giving your hate just a little room in your heart"
I agree...but sometimes you know the hurt is too much to bear. You might have forgiven that person but forgetting what happened is really difficult as it hurts you each day, each moment.
yeah I agree, but when the years pass on, you will realize its waste of getting hurt, treat like it never mattered. I completely agree with you, but what I am saying is also a truth. Now when I see those moments were I was hurt badly, I feel if those moments had not come in life, I wouldn't be what I am today. I learned to judge few things :D
Yes. learning is always there behind such hurt. You know Robin Sharma has said, Every hurt that you face is actually necessary to make you the person you are destined to be.
I have some issues with very basics. How do you get to know that other person is hurt beyond repair? And how do you know without trying that the other person will feel better after apologizing ?
We get to know because we are that person. The hurt is too bad to be repaired and sorry is the last thing you want to hear at that time. Want to understand from the other person's perspective.
Namrata explores Kabul through Taran N Khan’s Shadow City which according to her isn’t just about a city . Stories in Kabul begin with the phrase ‘ Yeki bood, yeki na bood .’ There was one, there was no one. Taran N Khan (Shadow City) Taran N Khan’s first book, Shadow City takes us around Kabul highlighting the varied experiences the city and its people have been through over years. It is neither a memoir, nor a travelogue. Lying somewhere in between, Khan has found the perfect voice to depict a place which has been through so much and yet continues to thrive in various ways. Growing up in Aligarh, Khan grew up with a fascination for Afghanistan due to her Pashtun background. After completing her education in Delhi and London, she has now decided to call Mumbai her home for the time being. Her works have been widely published in India and internationally, including in Guernica, Al Jazeera, the Caravan and Himal Southasian . Her writing has also received support from the MacDowell
Namrata talks about Anuja Chandramouli’s latest book, Mohini: The Enchantress ( August, 2020) calling it an attempt to paint a fresh image of Mohini in the reader’s mind . “Elusive as a fragment of a forgotten dream, fragile as a figment from fantasy, Mohini is perfection made possible. Distilled from the essence of Vishnu, Mohini the Enchantress is a part of him and yet she revels in the autonomy and extraordinary powers of beauty, magic and enchantment that are hers to wield. She is loved and desired by all in existence and yet, she is elusive tantalizing temptress, traipsing her way across the topsy-turvy terrain of fable and myth.” Anuja Chandramouli Anuja Chandramouli’s Mohini is a beautiful ode to the Goddess of Beauty and Fertility. Considered to be the only female avatar of Vishnu, created by Vishnu and Shakti, this book traces her life through sands of time. As an author Anuja Chandramouli has been known to explore lesser known aspects of different mythological character
Book Review by Namrata Off the Shelf by Sridhar Balan November 2019 Speaking Tiger Publishing Every book has a lot of people involved in it. Of course, a writer is at the core of it all but once the writer is done writing it, we have the beta-readers and editors who polish it further to make it publishing ready. Furthermore, we have the cover designer, typesetter, marketing team and many others who work on giving it the final shape before we the readers get to hold it in our hands. Off the Shelf by Sridhar Balan is an ode to all those people (invisible hands) who work on a book to make sure it reaches the readers in a beautiful package, inside out. Sridhar Balan is a senior professional in the publishing industry with decades of experience in the Indian publishing industry. Having worked with Oxford University Press and Ratna Sagar P Ltd, he has also been a literary columnist with several Indian newspapers.

DeleteI just wish others would also think like this .
