"For you, a thousand times over "

"For you, a thousands times over " is the spirit of Amir And Hassan for each other.
I just ende the reading of "The Kite Runner" BY Khaled Hossenie.
There are several noticeable thing regarding this novel.
First of all, all the character are well defined and all are woven quite decently in such asoul stirring story. charecter of Amir is amazing and seems interestingly full of contradiction, cowardice and then A Brave mature man. Amir's father , a person like coconut , hard from outside and soft from inside , he loves his son and his HAzara son equally.
And the real hero Hassan , represents , love , friendship, believe, commitment and undying love for Agha sahib.
Second noticeable thing is the story it self . It contains love, hate , betrayal, beleif, commitment, humor, human nature aspect and social - economical-political description.
At first story sound tragic but from the point of view Amir's satisfaction for Sohrab, I think it is untraditional happy ending. when Amir , the grown up brave man becomes the kite runner for Sohrab and say "I ran" (the last line of story), anyone who goes with the story can feel the happiness and euphoric moment of Amir.
One aspect of story is its successful and vivid description of Afghani culture and its encounter with Tliban.
Many a times story give the lumps in my throat.
I really enjoyed it andcarried away with the story.
An interesting thing which i found that many of Arabi, Farsi , Urdu; words which are used in Afghanistan are also used frequently by many of hindi speaking masses ; such as
yar, watan, quwat, nazar, sabgh(lesson), tar, gunga, mehman, khasta, naan, pakora , kofta, tanhaii, tandoor, chai , gham , bichara , mubarak etc. After all some 500 years ago Afghanistan was the part of that old Hindustan.
Coming back to novel it is a great read, it is Devastating , inspiring, shattering, impeccable, a nice work by Mr.Khaled Hossenie.

The real survivor - Fidel Castro

This february Cuban President Fidel Castro leave his responsibility after 49 years of roaring combating with USA.

It is believed that Castro survived more than 600 attempts to kill him by CIA.
this person never bow down to American pressure. America imposed strong ban against Cuba in 1962 , altough America show "mercy" and lossened ban in2001, but it still has ban.
Castro , a great orator , i think in line of magical Adolf Hitler(although i did not attend any speech of Hitler!!!!).
Castro also have the Guinnesse record of longest speech at UN.


Altough Castro face sever problem after USSR crisis , but the man of strong character still fight so well. Cuba is only communist stata of western hemisphere , and also quite successful in providing basic healthcare facilites to cubans.

Cuba, which is famous for sugar and cigar , now widely known as the state which provide strong resistance to America's illegal pressure.

I think fighting so hard is the splendid show of character by Castro.

Cuban's should proud of such a learder. Castro have close ties wiyh Argentina's legendary revolutionar Che Guevara and Venezuela's Hugo Chavez.
world should take a lesson from Castro against American illegal pressure and demand (as the case of Afghanisthan , Iraq and now raising eye brows over Iran).
Now an era came to an end as Castro retires from Cuban politics.
HATS OFF TO FIDEL CASTRO...
