Revisiting your childhood


These days, I am reading 'Diary of a Young Girl', which I think everybody knows is about the life of a Jew girl Anne Frank spent during the horrific time of second world war. Despite the tragic end of this diary, what is very interesting that one can revisit her/his childhood, how a child sees the world.

It also gives us a lot of insight about the life and culture of western society of that time, should call Jew but I think it gives a general view. How they live life despite all those problems and still manage to enjoy. How the little girl educates herself, she reads a lot and a lot of other thinks. Her view on every one's nature is particularly good. How she falls in love...and how as a 14 year old gild, she tells her Dad, how her Dad reasons with her. Things which are still inconceivable in India.

Yet to finish. But overall the novel is really good.
