I went to Chatujak Market on Saturday and let's just say I am the markets biggest fans! Apart from all the clothes, bag, shoes, and other goody good stuff, there are also second hand books there.
I bought 2 books, one of them being called China Witness. And do you know what's wierd to me ? The authors name is Xinran (bare in mind that X is pronounced as S). And what makes it even more wierd is that this book is something I could see myself writing in the future. The author basically piles up years of interview of old people in China to record history thought their eyes and more importantly sufferings so that the future generation can understand what had to be sacrificed for them.
Anyways, I briefly had the idea to write something similar but the topic being about Indians in Thailand. Because there are a few old people I have in mind that have some worth documenting stories. This project is not like a DIY project (My sis and I have been obbsessed with them) that you can just dive into. It takes a lot of time and dedication. I bet this won't work out. But, maybe something similar in the near future will ?
Will be back soon,
S.
