  1. i know this thread is about cheering each other on to finish books we can't seem to, but arundhati roy? i wouldn't bother :P

     

    What's wrong with Arundhati Roy? Is it because she supports the Maoist revolution in India? Back to the topic, I can't seem to finish 19Q4 of Murakami. Downhill na para sa 'kin ang Murakami novels after Kafka on the Shore.

     

    A quote from Roy (a great dialectician):

     

    "To love. To be loved. To never forget your own insignificance. To never get used to the unspeakable violence and the vulgar disparity of life around you. To seek joy in the saddest places. To pursue beauty to its lair. To never simplify what is complicated or complicate what is simple. To respect strength, never power. Above all, to watch. To try and understand. To never look away. And never, never, to forget"

    Nalulumbay ang puno ng goma sa gilid ng bulibard

    At ang puno ng akasya sa likod ng goma.

    Mukhang uulan sa buong mundo.

    Wala na ang mahal ko, iniwanan ako.

     

    Nalulumbay ang tubig na laging kulay-abo

    At ang tatlong bapor na kulay-kalawang sa laot,

    At sa likod, ang ulap na parang tinggang natunaw.

    Wala na ang mahal ko, iniwanan ako.

     

    Nakatungo ang mga dahon ng niyog,

    Marahang pakampay-kampay

    Sa hanging humahampas, naglalarong

    Anaki’y mga batang walang kamalay-malay

    Sa talas-kutsilyo, talas-labaha ng lumbay.

     

    At naalala ko ang isang awit na puno ng hinagpis,

    Parang sugat na humahapdi, lalong tinitistis.

    At naalala ko ang wala nang mahal ko

    Na naparaan sa aking mundo,

    Parang ulap na bumitin nang ilang saglit,

    Saka nagpatuloy sa maraming lakad sa himpapawid

    At, sa tingin ko, hindi na, hindi babalik.

  3. Where I go, I just don't know

    I got to gotta gotta take it slow.

    When I find my peace of mind

    I'm gonna give you some of my good time.
