Ek baar phir is dil ne kisi dil se pyaar kiya

Ek baar phir isne apne khuda se shart lagayi,

Ki iss baar aey , khuda

mEre dil ko na dhuka

Mujhe pyaar se hai pyaar

Uss shabd se na bada meri nafrat

Meri mohabbat ka kar thoda izzat

Ussey meri muhabbat ka ho jaane do yakeen

(Once again this heart fell in love

 Once again, it ran a stake with the lord

 That this time around, lord

 Don’t hurt my heart

 I’m in love with the idea of love

 Don’t increase my hatred towards that word

 Do respect my Love

 And let him realize that my love is true )

She sat nibbling on the end of her pen, when he walked towards her. She looked up, and closed her diary, and sipped on the coffee,  which he had bought her. She smiled and looked at him. He smiled back.

“Chale”,(shall we), he smiled , as he crushed his cup, and aimed it at the nearby bin, it missed and it fell.

“mmmm”  she left her coffee unfinished, and sat behind him, on his bike.

The Devotion of Suspect X

When you are presented with an opportunity to read something that has apparently been a “best-seller”, having sold over 2 million copies, you would obviously not let go of that, right?

Title: The Devotion of Suspect X

Author: Keigo Higashino.

                                               

About The Author: Keigo Higashino was born in Osaka. He started writing novels while still working as an Engineer and won the Edogawa Rampo Prize for writing at age 27. The Devotion of Suspect X has sold over 2 million copies in Japan and has been made into a cult film.

Do I like this book: Hell yes! Having read snippets about the book, we realize that the story revolves around a single mother (Yasuko), and her Daughter (Misato), and how their world turns upside down, when her ex-husband (Togashi) returns after 5 years. The novel starts of, with a murder being committed, and that takes up 2 chapters of the book, and you are left with wondering, what comprises the remaining chapters. However, the author has interwoven his story with such brilliance, that you would not feel like letting go of the book without a complete understanding of the story.
