For – Literate for a Day
Someone or something you can’t communicate with through writing (a baby, a pet, an object) can understand every single word you write today, for one day only. What do you tell them?
I read a book by Khaled Hosseini titled “The Kite Runner”,it was his debut novel and I on reading it realized that it had beautiful things to offer.I remember these lines from the book and I’d write these lines for a baby who is yet to experience this wonderful ride i.e life.
There is only one sin, only one. And that is theft. Every other sin is a variation of theft….When you kill a man, you steal a life. You steal his wife’s right to a husband, rob his children of a father. When you tell a lie, you steal someone’s right to the truth. When you cheat, you steal the right to fairness.
I don’t think I am experienced enough to give advice to people or to anyone,but this is the most apt thing that anyone should be taught.I’d also recommend the same book to the readers of this post and those who’ve read it can feel free to tell me their views about it.
It is a very nice book and you made a lovely post about it.

I know of people who have read this. I also have a copy that’s been sitting on my shelf for more or less a year now, still in its original plastic wrapper, LOL!!! It’s one of those books from my own collection that I have yet to read, he he…

When time is a little bit more manageable, maybe. Right now, there are lots of things on my plate, big things, positive and negative, that are going to affect the future…
