I am almost done reading the book " The Diary of a Young Girl" by Anne Frank, and to be honest, I have thoroughly enjoyed it. I had a great time, knowing more about the Frank family.
When I put up a post on the Diary of a Young Girl, titled Part I , somebody told me " Thanks for the KT ". Sounds really absurd, what should I make out of this?? I don't know, frankly speaking, who cares ???.
[If anyone has any clue on what it is, please post a comment]
Since I was busy with some personal work, I could not read the book in a single stretch. It took me almost 3 weeks to finish it. But at the end I can only say, " I am moved ". Its so beautiful, I have no words to describe it. Be it the Frank family or the helpers or the cats or the writing, they are all legendary. It all happened half a century ago, but when you read the book, it does not give you that impression.
What have I learnt ???
-> To be POSITIVE.
The writing of Anne Frank is filled with so much of optimism. Being in hiding, for over two years , with little food, lots of worries [lots of planes flying above you and lots of bombarding, arrests , gas chambers, deadly marches], you can be totally unsure of what is coming up next.
The writing is so wonderful that, not on many occasions, has Anne Frank deviated from being positive.
I have read so many books which have taught me to be positive, but this one is from someone whose been there, done it all and its unbeatable. Hats off.
-> To Read more and more !!!
Even when Anne Frank was hiding , she was reading and reading. It was something which I loved the most. Not to be out of touch when it comes to books. I think it has just inspired me to go an extra mile. Be it technical or non technical, I am prepared to read and read !!!!
I hope I can come up with a Part III on this. [Some pictures, some more on my learning curve]
Once again, BIG THANKS GOING OUT TO STRAND. Thank you Strand Book Stall for giving me such a wonderful book. Also a big thanks going out to my big brother, for helping me be a more intellectual person. (Infact he provides me all the books !!! )
