दीवार में एक खिड़की रहती थी ~~विनोद कुमार शुक्ल
धन्यवाद खुशी ,शायद मैं इस उपन्यास को कभी नहीं पढ़ती, लड़के के आने के बाद कहानी ज्यादा अच्छी लगी ,हाथी से भी ,मुख्यतः कोई खलनायक नहीं ,सीधी ,सरल कहानी व भाषा और प्यार। प्रकृति पूर्ण रूप से मौजूद। पठनीय।

Reading butter ,three names by R ~~~Rika ,Reiko and Ryosuke ,feeling difficulty, it's confusing .it took me almost two months to complete it.,in between I completed three other novels. Really got bored by initial 8 chapters later on started enjoying .I think the novel is not only about food but also how one feels when ditched, feelings of women in general.
The book is aginst Japan's standard of normal weight for females on lower side ,too much rigidity in habits ,pressure on females for being perfect.
The only thing which is in your hand is to make a comeback as Rika did.. I have asked my relatives to gift me books as a minimum of 3 people read it ,as in this novel madame shares recipes.
And in general my perception of Japanese ~they are disciplined ,hard working cultured and patriotic.liked the gist of the novel.sharing few lines from the novel.
The decision not to lose weight and remain plus sized was one that demanded considerable resolve .
In principle, all women
Should give themselves permission to demand good treatment, but the world made doing so profoundly difficult.
But there are two thingsthat i simply cannot tolerate : Feminists and margarine.
You should reach out to other people ,you should rely on others .
Helping and depending on one another is nothing to be ashamed of.

Ms Ice Sandwich by Mieko kawakami, As I am very much attached to my grandson ,feels a bit sympathetic to the kid otherwise I feel the novel is very less in emotional quotient .though recommended highly by every one ,or the beauty is the younger kids don't get attached to any thing .
Mum's face is awesome ,whenever
she gets annoyed. If there was an animal that didn't know what being annoyed meant, then just one look at my mom's face and they'd get the idea. You could make a rubber stamp of mum's face as a demo. From Ms ice sandwich
