Coconut Barfi

A couple of months ago, my brother bought me a book A walk to Remember. I read about the book earliar and I knew its a sad story. I was hesistant initially but I acquiesced.



When I finished my book, I realised it was one of those books which one cant forget so soon.


The story is all about Jamie a 17 year high school student who was never famous in school. She carried her bible every where she went and she dies fighting cancer. She marries Landon, never in a thousand years would anyone think would fall in love with her.


Reading wasnt a hobby untill I started reading some quality novels. The saddest thing about reading a novel is that majority of the people aren't exposed to the extraordinary world of novels. I think.... !! Some dont have the patience of going through every word and sentence till the end while some dont know what to read.

And just like reading every word on a page and having all the time and patience, coconut burfi too conveys the same sense.
