Initially, I was reluctant to read "The Alchemist".<br />But once started, I nearly travelled with Santiago(the boy in the book), and started to realize how many dreams that I have had before and how many I have discarded without giving a second thought about it. Lost are lost. Now I am seeing the inner meaning of each and every small thought and dream, and why it occurs to me at a particular point of time. <br />I feel each about-to-happen incident is told to every human before it happens and itz only that he/she is not able to realize it.<br />May b I am a bit superstitious, which is why the book appealed to me.Fathima Sagarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05602533400246061891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8949006.post-1101718912793505432004-11-29T01:01:00.000-08:002004-11-29T01:01:00.000-08:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Fathima Sagarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05602533400246061891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8949006.post-1101708734605331632004-11-28T22:12:00.000-08:002004-11-28T22:12:00.000-08:00I agree with you and you know this (being your hou...I agree with you and you know this (being your house mate :))The book is definitely NOT one of "life-changing","nation-transforming" kinda stuff the book's back-cover claims it to be.It was a good read though. But in my opinion, the book did not live up to the hype that my other "awe-inspired" friends had given.Ramshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17210089548326986517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8949006.post-1101626880741911572004-11-27T23:28:00.000-08:002004-11-27T23:28:00.000-08:00I am afraid I have a similar feeling about this bo...I am afraid I have a similar feeling about this book, but I haven't skid past the 34th page of the book, in the past 35 days.
