SPOILERS AHEAD – LOVE IN THE TIME OF CHOLERA
Love in the Time of Cholera – Gabriel Garcia Marquez (read 7 years ago)
What did you think of it?
You can tell Marquez is a total romantic, I enjoyed his writing for the most part – I enjoyed the way the book dragged on, almost like a 'metaphor' in itself of how many years have gone by in Florentino Ariza's life… am I making any sense? I LOVED taking my time with this book – reading it slowly, pausing for long periods of time in between, absorbing it… I think that's how the author would have liked his book to be read. But sometimes the dragging on part just got annoying.
And I was not fully convinced about Florentino and Fermina's love. I was guess I was following Fermina's line of thought throughout the book – touched by his passion at first, then put off him and his love completely… and it was only in the very end, when she herself gave in to her feelings for him, that I JUST about was convinced by their love… borderline. But funnily enough, I do not see what Florentino Ariza saw in Fermina. I really don't. I feel he would have been much better suited to that African woman with her feisty personality (even though she was much older), or even that – how old was she? – 14? year old kid, even though she was much younger…………….. if the author had written about it in such a way that Florentino DID give his heart to them, that is. (I REALLY hope I am still making sense… lol. )
I don't know – I enjoyed the book, Marquez does write really well – although to be fair, I was too lost in the story to think about his wonderful writing, in some parts (but maybe that in itself is a good indication he writes well? lol)… but I was not convinced by Florentino's love for Fermina. It felt like he was simply using her as this… this 'ideal', to set free all the love that is trapped within him… as opposed to actually loving HER for who SHE is…
LMAO! Reading all these again was so much fun… man we have had some GOOD times on this forum… oh the crazy things we did!! I am smiling and all nostalgic about The Rani Birthday Card Incident 07. Sheer MADNESS!!
92. Even during the forum's recession period, you log on to the forum every day to check if people have posted a new message… and you can't be bothered posting anything yourself.
I need to re-read the ones I wrote again…
Huh…
RUBBISH BOOKS!!
I love annoying my twin.
*kicks Rani*
*dusts hands*
There. Done the job. Don't you say I'm a bad twin now… hahahahahah… <3
LOL… ahh poor Oreo….
Saaali. Never. Always keep laughing. (Behind every good deed, there's an evil one… muahahahhahahaa… lmao… hahahahahhahaa…)
Hahahahhahaa…. Saif is obviously not cool enough for our Mr. Big Geeky Reading Glasses Oreo saab here….. obviously. Clearly.
Ohhhhhhh that's what it was?? A Twilight reference? I can somehow totally NOT imagine Oreo reading the Twilight series….. But then again – as far as my limited knowledge of that stupid series goes – it does involve like…. eating humans and like… being evil…. and stuff.
Wow… I'm surprised you have any a$s left….
Oh come ON Oreo! No more cold depressing songs!
That's like…. asking…. asking the Classic Hindi Film Villian to get up and start dancing with all the innocent village kids and handing out chocolates to them out of his own hard earned money…..
Bollywood to the rescue, eh… as per usual. 😀 I love it too! OMG *HOW* did a Google search for Saif with big geeky reading glasses…….. lead to this??!! :O
And LMAO… I JUST realised… Oreo said the big geeky reading glasses suit me better… and I'm Preity… and Preity in Kal Ho Na Ho wears reading glasses…. chesmish! Yay! ANOTHER Kal Ho Na Ho moment… that movie is our BWL life.. LOL… SRK's rudeness reminds me a bit of Nitz. 😀 Hahahahaha….
I write FOOT LONG rambles and bloody ESSAYS (often not making sense to anyone else but myself… and I guess it is in that respect only that I differ from Madhu ji :D)…. and you manage to say everything I wanted to say in short simple words. Love it. 😀 A bullet point for a bullet point makes the world much simpler. 😀
Tayaba, I didnt get a proper chance to reply to this. First of all, I read Boo's advice and I think its so damn true. It just is. It is a very true thing that, it's YOU, it is YOU who can truely change things and make it better. Besides actually changing situations, have you realized how powerful perception is? Your view of something could be the thing that is eating you apart, viewing it in a different light, can drastically change things (even thought the actual situation may not change). But the thing is, often, it is only after situations actually change, then we see things differently. Because then, its easy to do that. No work to do that. The hardest things to do require so much work :
It is true that only YOU can change things (whether it be your perception or actual situations) to make them work for you/in your favor. Very often, this is extremely hard to realize. I find myself making SO many excuse about the simplest things, then one day I asked myself, if you had really wanted to do it – do you think it would have matter if it was rainy, sunny or snowy outside? Do you think it would have mattered if you felt sleepy or hesitant? Compare this situation with something you REALLY want to do. You'll see that, no matter what, whatever the conditions are, the circumstances, you'll find a way, some way, to get it done. Likewise, we have to try our best to realize that we should ease up on excuses, and make things work (accepting things is included in here).
Us, Your friends and everyone else … ; you tell us your problems, you vent your feelings, what can we really do? We talk. We comfort. We hug. We listen. We will never mind listening to you, for hours even. Because, that is all we can do (the majority of times). We can only walk with you through this. But ultimately, its is only the person, YOU, who can truely change things, who can truely change situations and perceptions to make things work and seem or be better.
I learned .. or I should say, in the process of learning, a key lesson in life so far : accepting things play a huge part in ridding yourself of much of suffering. If you dont accept that 'thing' that gnaws at you everyday, it is highly likely that you'll never be without the uncomfortable anxiety that you despise. I am not saying that accepting things is easy. Not in a million years. It may take a long time … many months …. more often – many years. And I am not saying that all the different things that differnt people have to accept will bring about the same level of comfort. Some things are MUCH MUCH harder to accept than others. Some things take so much more time, than others. We just have to try our best to accept our 'thing/s', let be be done well and let it leave us without that anxiety and sadness.
I speak like I am any better. I may not be. But I need to share those thoughts with you. I think one would surely argue that I do
If anyone's slow here, it's you Mr. Big Geeky Reading Glasses…. 😀 Let me know when you've finished reading this. 😀
Yeah…. you need to be advanced else you'll forget everything in your old age. 😀
Oreo… yep. Even lots of stones you can kill… 😉
*Popcorn anyone?*
Bahahahahahahaha!!! love it!!! As if I'm following your light … I have my own stones to kill you now!! *whistles for the bird to come*
