One hundred years of solitude

One hundred years of solitude...
While the reviews from everyone are so damn good, I was tempted to read the book. I gave in to my temptation and started reading this book again (the first time I had left it after reading around 30 odd pages...). One more reason for starting this book was that I had nothing else to read...
And god help me, it is such a disaster... literally a disaster...
I wonder how can people write such depressing stories... the end could have been with the family flourishing and the town becoming more famous... but...
I wonder why the author did not find different names for the characters... All through the story, the names appear and reappear and finally you wonder whose kid is this!!!

Finally, a no no from me if you are planning to read...
Next that I would pick up is "The lost symbol" and "A thousand splendid suns"

ENJOy...

MNC's and PSU's...

The difference between the working environment of PSU's and MNC's is so evident.I need not comment on the style of working of employees of a PSU.Sounds like a bitter fact... but it is so...
It is the attitude to work which is the key...If you want the things to happen, they will definitely happen... whereas if you don't want things to happen smoothly, you can have a 1000 reasons...

Posting after a very very long time...
Till next time,
