COVID-19 all India Lockdown

Day 18

Busy playing android games and understanding the rate formula...

I also started reading 'The Rose of Sarajevo' by Ayse Kulin. It's something about Bosniaks, Yugoslavia, Bosnia-Herzegovina and the Serbs. Hmm... pretty interesting. It's my second time reading a book by Ayse Kulin after the Last train to Istanbul.

Stay Home Stay Safe.

"Mentre Hirsh stava uscendo dal vialetto nella sua Murat verde pallido, con Gerhard sul sedile del passeggero e Sude su quello posteriore, Suzi corse loro incontro con un cuscino in una mano e una ciotola con dell'acqua nell'altra Diede a Sude il cuscino raccomandandole di dormire un po' durante il viaggio. Poi versò dell'acqua per terra mentre si allontanavano. "La mamma lo fa sempre", disse Sude. "È una bellissima usanza turca", disse Hirsh. "Significa "Vai e torna come l'acqua. Che il tuo viaggio possa scorrere liscio come l'acqua"."

Recsmas/25DOB18 Day 5: A book about family & Share your favorite reading-related memory

Last Train to Istanbul by Ayşe Kulin surrounds a family separated by Nazi Germany. While I haven't finished it yet, it begins with half of the family in Vichy France and half of the family in Turkey. There's the personal issues among the family members (struggles and questions of what it means to be a 'modern' person, issues in Turkey between Muslims and Jewish people) on top of the international issues occurring during the early 1940s Europe.

My favorite reading-related memory is one concerning my family and that's why these two prompts are popped together.

My favorite memory - and one reason Harry Potter will always have a soft spot in my heart - is the memory of my family (mom, dad, brother, and I) in a car, in the beginning of a dark and stormy night, going to the local Barnes & Noble. While my dad kept the car running with me and my baby brother in the back seat, my mom ran into Barnes & Noble to pick up a book: Harry Potter and the Sorceror's Stone. After she came back to the car, my dad drove us home.

When we get into our house - at the tip of the cul-de-sac - it turns out that the thunderstorm has downed some electricity lines and our house has no power. With my brother tucked into his carrier and myself a three-year-old just minding their own business, my parents set about lighting candles and huddling us all together in the living room. And it was in that living room, with the candles in their jars lighting up the room and dancing shadows across all of our faces, that I first read Harry Potter with my family.

My parents read the first, and I believe the second as well, to my brother and I. By the third, I was old enough to start reading them on my own. But we continued reading the books outloud, particularly during the summer when we would take our annual roadtrips to New England. We would pick up the books while we were going places and my mom would always call a bookstore in the town we'd be going to the day the book came out and we would read it in the car as we went to our next destination.

I have a lot of memories of my family and of Harry Potter wrapped up around each other. Another memory I have mixing the two is of myself reading Harry Potter and the Halfblood Prince in the car silently and I was getting towards the end and my mom was driving and my brother was sitting next to me. Well, we all know what happens towards the end, right? So I get to the part where Dumbledore dies and I start crying. Not sobbing, but probably blubbering and leaking and getting really red and blotchy (I'm not a dainty crier). My mom hears me from the driver's seat and is like "What are you doing??" and she'd already read it and my brother wasn't planning to so I tell her "Dumbledore d-d-died." And she's like "Oh you're at that part? Yeah, that was sad. But stop reading it if it's making you sad until we're home! They're gonna think I abuse you or something!"

Suzi indossò una gonna al posto dei calzoncini. Dopo aver preso al volo uno zaino, in un attimo uscì. Corse alla postazione dei taxi condivisi e salì sul primo mezzo libero, accorgendosi solo allora di avere ai piedi gli zoccoli da giardino. Chi se ne frega, pensò. L’importante era arrivare in ospedale il più in fretta possibile. Rimpianse di aver trascurato Madame negli ultimi mesi. Il profumo dei panini alla vaniglia e cannella, il buio della chiesa, gli innumerevoli regali e gli abbracci calorosi… Madame era la sua infanzia, la casa lontana da casa, il suo rifugio. Le lacrime cominciarono a rigarle il viso mentre stava seduta sul sedile posteriore del taxi. Com’era felice allora. Nessuno degli altri passeggeri le chiese perché stava piangendo. O, se lo fecero, lei non li sentì.

L'ultima famiglia di Istanbul di AYSE KULIN

L'ultima famiglia di Istanbul di AYSE KULIN Un bel libro! #Lultimafamigliadiistanbul #AyseKulin

19 gennaio 1995. Viene ritrovato il corpo senza vita di Aylin Nadolwsky Goldberg. La sua scomparsa è uno shock: Aylin era una persona ammirata e piena di talento, chi può aver voluto la sua morte? Chi, fra le molte persone che ha aiutato, le poche che ha ferito, e quelle che ha abbandonato, può essersi trasformato in un assassino? Nel corso della sua vita, Aylin è stata molte cose: un’esile e…

Salam, can you recommend me some books?

Waalaikum Salaam. I rarely read books. Currently I'm more into Sufism and historical fictions specially on Turkey and Ottoman Empire. So suggesting a few:

Secrets of Divine Love by A. Helwa. (Read a few pages. Loving)

The Architect's Apprentice by Elif Shafak ( I'm a big fan of Elif Shafak after reading the book 'The Forty Rules of Love'. So very much curious about this too.)

Last Train to Istanbul by Ayse Kulin

The Sultan's Admiral: Barbarossa

Books of Jason Godwin

Most of the books here are based on history. I'm not sure if you'll be interested.

Nômôskār!

That above is what I've been up to these days. That is, other than academic studies and YouTube video making. Oh, the lockdown has been extended here till 17th May.

Nothing special going on these days. I finished another Ayse Kulin book, 'Without a Country', it's about a German Jewish family who shifted to Turkey during Hitler's reign. At present I'm reading 'Life' by Lu Yao. It's about a school teacher from rural China who was fired from his job and then had to face hardships as a peasant..

That's it for now, stay safe.

Last Train to Istanbul

I got this book free on Kindle and thought I’d give it a try. Now I have to finish it, because I’m stubborn.

I’m 4 chapters in and so far...the main dude is kind of a cowardly jerk and his wife is also a jerk and her sister is boring and I don’t really care about any of them at all. Oh, and World War II.
