The Alchemist
(Paulo Coelho)
Once in a lifetime comes a book that lights a lamp in your mind and Hey presto! life is not such a mystery after all. It is as simple a law and as ancient a one as the Biblical times or even may be as old as as mankind itself. "Action and reaction are opposite and Equal; Reap as you sow, GIGO -- garbage in garbage out."In simple, lucid style Paulo Coelho guides us through the fascinating tale of a boy who follows the call of his heart. As the books points out directly and indirectly that if you want something very much, the universe conspires to bring the all necessary requisites to your door step so that you can follow your heart's desires. As the author puts it succintly, "Because wherever your heart is that is where you will find your desire." He inspires you to take a deep inward look at yourself and ask yourself uncomfortable questions. Are you doing what YOU want to do or doing what others or your family members want you to do? Are your goals your own or has it been thrust upon you? The Alchemist makes you realise that after all, you have only one life to live so why not do it the way you want to, no matter what. But such a path, as the story shows, is not a bed of roses. It is strewn with the rocks of uncerainty and thorns of failure. But if you are determined and are undeterred, you are sure to taste sweet success of gaining your heart's desire. But be sure that that is what you want!The Alchemist is a book that one would like to read again and again in times of distress and doubt and find a signpost beckoning you and guiding you in the direction you must follow. Definitely an unputdownable book in its genre.SOKAGA
