If you have opened this post in hope of reading a book review of
Paulo Coelho's latest novel"Aleph" ,sorry to disappoint you ,its
an attempt to rewrite a personal experience .My encounter
with literature when my date with comics ended up started with
"Dr Harivansha Rai Bachhan's :Kya Bhoolo Kya Yaad
Karu"&from that age i have a penchant for reading
autobiographies or personal experiences as has been very
rightly quoted "The act of writing with serious intent
involves enormous personal risks"
The great writings are those that are written with all
honesty &to put it more flatly with all the guts &no
doubt "Aleph" stands tall in that .A tale about love
without the boundaries of time&space,a tale about
believing in yourself,a tale about forgiveness &above all
a tale that above moral policing takes you above fair -
unfair to strengthen the bond of marriage
We all have an aleph moment but somehow we fail to
realize it in the race from past to present to future but
always remember :Each new experience of love has
nothing to do with past
experiences,its always new
It takes you to a new journey of
spiritual search where acts of
compassion &
selflessness,forgiveness n inner
peace are its characteristics .
Writing is spiritual for me ,
,dancing connects me to the god
Read &experience aleph ,encounter your fears
&shortcomings not only because "Each end gives us an
opputunity for rebirth"but also to always keep in heart
that "Life is one long training session,in preparation for
what will come.Life &death lose their meaning,there are
challenges to be met with joy &overcome with
tranquility"
Wishing you your moment of aleph :
"Eternal fires light moonless nights
while love flickers in the shadows
embraced by guarded secrecy
from ashes of surrender".........sehar

ReplyDeleteDr. Pooja,
ReplyDeleteI accidently deleted my earlier comments. Here they are again:
Many thanks for sharing your lovely thoughts, your Aleph. They arrive at a perfect time when I am struggling with a particular scene in my MORNING SUN. But I feel a lifting and the words forming with strength.
Cảm ơn bạn rất nhiều,
Mia
P.S. In answer to your tweet about an hour ago: for me, passion becomes stronger each time fear is embraced and released. It has been this way for me on my writing journey. True passions may evolve and find different ways to express what is in our hearts. But the core of our true passions does not change. Dare to dream.
