gently falls the bakula

hmm this is a title of one of sudha murty's books.....i must say i was moved by this book..... and i dont know why somehow with all that is going on around me, it even brght a sense of calm to my mind. it made me more positive towards life. i have never been a pessimist kind of person.... however lately i thgt i was getting lost somewhere.... can marriage change somebody so much??? no it ws not marriage.... a loving and caring husband, parents to talk to and be dere to help u!! a good cushy job... wot else did i want in life?? maybe some happiness, sheer, pure happiness. but if i had all of the above why wasnt i still happy?? i really dint know and will never know the answer to dat. in all this while i read 2 books...
first one was by my favourite author... jeffrey archer... prisoner of birth. good one time read. story was almost predictible. but nontheless i was happy to catch up on some reading.
second was by another of my favourite author... sudha murty.... gently falls the bakula...... here too the ending was so predictible... but still, i was moved by this book.... its the journey of a woman who has sacrificed her aspirations and ambitions in life for her family's sake. but in return she is only taken for granted.
an amazing thing was that while i was reading it my husband called up to say he was scared something untoward was going to happen..... and thats when i realised that in his case he was the one who had been making sacrifices for everyone but ultimately nobody ever bothered to appreciate him or even thank him once for all that he been doing for soo long. he had always placed others ahead of himself. and now my bakula was drying up..... there was hardly any fragrance left to spread. my bakula was tired of giving shade to others and protecting others....
he wanted someone to give HIM some protection, pamper him, indulge him.
and that i know my bakula will make u strong and happy again!!!
