I
always prefer to read classics. I was really blessed to have done my
pre-university in SJRCW, the library there had these fantastic collection of
classics in English and French...It has almost been a decade now and every book
I had read then is making sense to me now. I do not remember the name of one
such classic but would like to share it with u all in a short n sweet manner :)
...
Two
young, beautiful and gorgeous ladies always had a competition with
each other, may it be their dressing, may it be in school or any small thing
you could possibly think of. They always compared who won and who
lost. People ridiculed them for their behavior and wondered what if they were
to fall in love with the same man. And as their people fancied it, they both
did fall in love with a young, handsome,smart, in other words the most eligible
bachelor! He fell in love with one of them, spent a lot of time with her while
the other lady was stupendously jealous of watching them both together.She
started to distract him from her,held parties at their home and her father
arranged a marriage for his daughter in hand with the handsome man.She lived
with him in a different city, the couple were childless, and as they aged he
passed away. The widowed lady calls her friend for his funeral to show her that
she won in life by having a good married life with him. The disappointed friend
who never married again comes to the widow's house to gives
her condolences, they speak for a long time and the door bell rings...The
widow opens the door to see a fine young lady who resembled her husband! she
smiles to the widow bends down at the hallway and says "Mother, we're
getting late, we should be leaving now". Yes, you guessed it right...she
couldn't marry him but had a child with him. The widow and her friend hugged
each other and said goodbye.
Yet
one thing is to be decided...who won and who lost? The friend who snatched the
guy n led a happy married life or the friend who had a child with him? You get
to decide that...and this is a classic french novel( name forgotten)...
Reading
opens you to so many things...you get to know where the journey of your
life is leading by the choices you make...
Concluding
this blog here I would like to say that I'm proud to be called a
"bookworm","geek", "nerd" and everythingelse you
guys call me :)
It
will be interesting if You can drop your comments on who won and who lost in
the story...
with
love

I think every one's the lead in their life and so each one of us is a winner, as winning just means not to give up on life no matter how terrible or horrid life gets ... guess i have got very philosophical... but this is how i can justify that all of us are Winners as the two characters in the story won and conquered on their respective lives :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comment Sindhu.yeah gets u philosophical right? :) Many feel that the one who had a daughter with him won in life...Your perspective is unique and well appreciated :) I feel that both won as well as lost a part in their lives...
