Gray is the color of the blank space which separates the day into the night I am caught in between.

She told me that my father was another man, well I shrugged my shoulder and say “it’s okay”. But she didn’t know that I am writing my pain away. I came to a point of thinking about those fatherless children who lost theirs in wars, in car crashes… I am still lucky, and better-off, [...]

We lived in a world where statistics is synonymous with being number one. Measuring up in a yardstick, struggling our lifetimes competing for spaces reserved for subservient imitators of culture and class. Like crabs crowding and grabbing and pulling each other down wanting to rule the world. People above people. Force against force. [...]

It’s like a white plate. Soiled and you try to wash it afloat with suds of soap and rinse repeatedly at the sink. Letting it dry and wait until the film of water subsides down into its gleamy surface. You try to contain the glister. The immaculateness of being unbroken, unsplintered. Fragile. It’s like [...]

We walk along the beach to see the happy couples like us staring at the ocean. And see how the waves come and go subduing our blues, buried under the sand. Did we become a tourist of our own, devoid of pleasure on being together? We walk like solitary man and woman glancing sideways, avoiding [...]

There’s a suitcase in the hall. And emptiness will soon occupy it. Something which kept me immobile, quite undecided to test the wind or its aged leafless trees outside where the silent pavement beckons and my own shadow as a companion. How should I, in the permanence of seasons would not be keen to [...]

Brick Lane by Monica Ali
The Book
Named after Brick Lane, a street at the heart of London's Bangladeshi community — follows the life of Nazneen, a Bangladeshi woman who moves to Tower Hamlets in London at the age of 18 — her English consisting of "sorry" and "thank you" — to marry an older man, Chanu, described by The Observer as "one of the novel's foremost miracles: twice her age, with a face like a frog, a tendency to quote Hume and the boundless doomed optimism of the self-improvement junkie, he is both exasperating and, to the reader at least, enormously loveable. " Geraldine Bedell wrote in The Observer that the "most vivid image of the marriage is of her [Nazneen] cutting her husband's corns, a task she seems required to perform with dreadful regularity. [Her husband] is pompous and kindly, full of plans, none of which ever come to fruition, and then of resentment at Ignorant Types who don't promote him or understand his quotations from Shakespeare or his Open University race, ethnicity and class module".Recommended Books

When my sisters began to marry their men, I just stop talking to them. Eagerness suddenly plummet into nil and I began seeing an imaginary wall that divides me to them. Those strangers’ hand snatching spaces, of familiarity, never uttered a word about apologies. Plundering the blood bond, the images of innocence running away to [...]
