Reluctant Fundamentalist

 |  | 4 Comments

Anticipation and impatience have befriended me as I  await the movie adapted from one of my favourite books, Reluctant Fundamentalist.  It will be so exciting to watch the film, Reluctant Fundamentalist directed by Mira Nair.

Wouldn’t it?

 

Mohsin Hamid, a student from the Princeton University had written the book with a different shade of ink. In the back drop of 9/11,

Mohsin draws a simple yet powerful art with an ink pen–something that only spills onto the opposite person but cannot be erased. And, the shade of ink that he has used in this novel (Dramatic monologue), it is deceivingly charming.

 

A shade of ink that one would want to gorge again and again.

A shade of ink that is difficult of xerox.

A shade of ink that is desirable.

A shade of ink that can be attained only to few.

As this shade of ink translates into a collage of colors, I await.

Hope befriending the impatience and anticipation is worth it.

 

 

“I love books, by the way, way more than movies. Movies tell you what to think. A good book lets you choose a few thoughts for yourself. Movies show you the pink house. A good book tells you there’s a pink house and lets you paint some of the finishing touches, maybe choose the roof style,park your own car out front. My imagination has always topped anything a movie could come up with. Case in point, those darned Harry Potter movies. That was so not what that part-Veela-chick, Fleur Delacour, looked like.”
