just finished reading "like the flowing river" the latest release by paulo coelho...
i could not have enjoyed the book more as the timing was just perfect.. i was [ and am] going through the shittiest phase of my life... where the road only seems to be an uphill task with no respite anywhere close..
whether the appreciation for the book is more because of me being in the dumps, i do not really know...
an inspiring must read, the book is a collection of the author's observations and reflections of day to day life.about how pain and happiness are two sides of the same coin..
whether its about a simple account of turning down a beggar and the guilt the author felt or inspiring notes of how to handle stress, emotional turmoils or the 9/11 disaster.. the book captures the reader's interest.
the simple truths of life narrated in a lucid manner using simple props such as pencils, mountains, rivers... thereby making it both an interesting and a memorable read :)
a recommended reading for just about anyone!!!
