Hidden Meaning Of Life

  For a long time I wished to read a classic piece of work. Gratefully, I got my hands on some treasured gems from history, one of those is Gitanjali written by Rabindranath Tagore . The name Gitanjali is translated in English as song offerings. I read the English translation. Songs were filled with deep meaning and unfathomable emotions. The poems or more profoundly referring, songs written by Tagore are eternally fragrant. There were more than 100 songs written with love and grace engulfing multiple meanings for different phases and different stages of life. One cannot attach a single meaning to any of them. Tagore beautifully explored the physical and metaphysical world, with corporeal and incorporeal desires and emotions. There was love, longing, peace, desire, spirituality, and all profound feelings one experiences in a lifetime. The songs are for the lover, for the reluctant, for the secluded, and for anyone who wants to experience the beautiful words put together like a gar...

After a wait of nine years, finally, I read this gem named ‘The Alchemist’ by Paulo Coelho. My reading journey began with two novels, when I was in 9th grade. The first one was Bram Stoker’s Dracula and the other was Paulo Coelho’s The Witch of Portobello. Then I came across Coelho’s one of the greatest works that is The Alchemist .  My desire to read this book was otherworldly. I wanted this very book and struggled a lot to get it. It might seem bizarre but I found this book nowhere. I searched libraries, bookstores, even asked some of my friends but something was stopping me from reading it because either the novel was out of stock or sometimes unavailable, or sometimes out of budget. Then, there came a time when I was a non-reader for almost 5 years. Fortunately, in January this year, I bought this book and I was jumping with joy, but I couldn’t read it due to a busy schedule. I read it during lockdown (due to the pandemic) in June. One thing which was always there in my heart...
