So I finished reading The Alchemist. Truly speaking...it went over my head. I think the gist of the story was similar to the quote I beleive in - A man travels the world in search of what he needs and returns home to find it.
The whole, desert, lead, gold, omens (OK omens I got), philosopher's stone was like as if I was trying to take a catch in the cricket match and the ball instead of falling in my hands, fell on my head and bounced to the ground. Ok in simpler words - I was trying to understand what it means, but couldn't. Sorry Coelho fans...but that's my take on the book.
Off late I have this big dilemma inside me. With all that has happened with the job front, I seem to have lost my self confidence and zest for everything. Nothing seems to excite me anymore. I am existing and not living my life. G says that its a passing phase and there is definitely something good for me in future. Coelho says that everything happens for some reason and one should always look for omens. Why am I losing my self confidence...what could be the reason for that? What kind of omen is this that I went through all the crap, thoughts of which are still haunting and daunting me. More so, I have started to fear that only bad things happen to me, which is making me an ultimate pessimistic person. Or am I just being a foolish self of being drawn into such superstitions? There is a plethora of weird questions like these inside me, seeking answers from the world.

faaltu books mat padha kar.. read archie comics. you know archie chose ronnie over betty to marry???? argh.. he will regret it when she'll make him spend all his money on buying her high end branded stuff!
anyway, this comment was supposed to be about YOU and not archie andrews' stupid decision..
the way i see it is simple
you went through shit. now you are out of it. but side effects remain. you need a medicine. you have it. this trip will cure it! you will come out brand new, trust me on that
you have no lost any zest for anything.. you are just tired of things that have happened and have no energy to deal with all the nonsense anymore (for now) and your batteries need to be recharged. you have a charger. this trip!
you have not lost any self confidence. how can you lose it? you were born with it, its supposed to stay with you for the rest of the life
now get ready.. for the brit accents all around, the food, the drinks, the culture, the night life, the partying, the shopping places, seeing your sis!, the amazing weather, the beautiful places all around, for looking hot, for coming back with a firang accent.. no matter how long the trip is! lol
till then i'll practice mine here
all these stupid books that make you THINK are good for nothing!
