Wise and otherwise???

I've been reading a book titled"Wise and Otherwise"....by Sudha Murthy..........its not a novel.....not short stories either.....but experiences that she has had since she's started observing.Nice in the sense that she's a keen witness to a lot of things that can pass.In fact some of her observations are pretty close to what I've thought of many a time......In one she talks about a middle-aged man coming with a much older man to put him in a old age home and also saying that he'd found the old person in a bus-stop and no money to go anywhere....at the end it turns out that they were father and son........he LIED because his wife didn't like the father-in-law and the house belonged to her......Things like this are so much in common.Wonder how the mentality changes.Wonder why they don't realize what its to be alone.........wonder how it feels to be abandoned by someone who could'nt get any closer.........hmmm........i dont want to repeat one thing....thats "he'll undergo the same from his son when he's old"......hmmm.....maybe just not that,....think of the present....is it what someone needs to return??? hmmm...okie...am stopping...might end up like a typical emotional saga......
others r pretty witty...or what i've read so far have been....parallel to that am reading God of small things....guess for the 5th time....very dark and sweltered way of writing.......too much of analogy,too many thoughts......it feels like creepers all around when i read it.......or...call it creepers with pretty flowers.....cuz its both nice and scary at once.....and while reading all of these books i do get a feeling that on observations and some skill of expressing its not difficult to write......a lot of books are born out of experiences......maybe i should start looking for some too to get my dream come true....
