Book Review: 13 Reasons Why by Jay Asher

“I hope you're ready because I'm about to tell you the story of my life. More specifically, why my life ended. And if you're listening to these tapes, you're one of the reasons why.” A Rumour started a reputation that other people believed  in and reacted to and sometimes a rumour has a snowball effect. A Rumour is Just the Begining. so basically the plot is our dude(Clay Jensen) returns from school to find a mysterious box with his name on it lying on his porch. inside he discovered thirteen cassette tapes recorded by Dead girl Hanna Bakar, his classmate who had committed suicide two weeks earlier. basically, those tapes were like journals of Hanna were she justifies her reason to consider suicide and she made the tapes in same order how her friend and classmates betrayed her. I consider first few reasons where consist of high school bullying, then it shifted real dark when stuff like physical abuse, accidental murder and Rapes popped up. I ...

Story Challenge Completed!!!

Well, I got a Challenge in my College to complete a Short Story Based on a Set of Few Pictures Collection with word limit to 400 max.

So here, it’s done

        Story Time!!!!
Can I explain why I wanted to jump off the top of a tower-Block?
Of course, I can explain why I wanted to jump off the top of a tower block. I am not a Bloody idiot. I can explain it because it wasn’t impossible to Explain, It was a logical decision, the Product of proper thought. It wasn’t even a serious Though, I don’t mean it was a light hearted, I just mean that it wasn’t terribly Complicated or Agonized.
Put it this way: Say I am, I don’t know an  Assistant Bank manager in ‘south-west Delhi’ and you’d been thinking of emigrating and then you were offered the job of managing a bank in ‘Singapore’. Well even though, it’s pretty straight forward Decision; you’d still have to think for a bit, wouldn’t you?
You’d at least have to work out whether you could bear to move?, whether you could leave your friend and Colleagues behind, Whether you could forget all those birthday parties you attended as a kid to those parties at high-end clubs.
You might sit down with a bit of paper and draw up a list of pros and cons you know:
CONS: - Parents, Friends, Girlfriend, Fish pot, Cricket club, Gym.
PROS: - More money, Better Quality of life, House with pool &barbecue,                                    The sunshine.
It’s no Contest, is it? ‘The Cricket Club’ give me a break, obviously, your aged parent and Friend give you a pause for Thought but that’s all it is a Pause and a Brief one too.
You’d be on the phone to the Travel Agent within Ten Minutes.
Well, that was me. There Simply Weren’t Enough Regrets and lots and lots of reason to jump. The only think in my ‘Cons’ list was my Friend & My Girl. I couldn’t imagine Meeting my Girl again.
Suicide was my Singapore and I say that with no offense to the good people of Singapore intended.
