I like to Share a glimpse of a novel that inspired me to the core. One of the best gift of a writer, or an artist, is to convey what he/she thought of saying effectively! Having said that, GOD must be the most pathetic writer. He never clearly understands what he wants to convey, and at last has written a confused, unfinished book, which has billions of characters.! And I'm one of those characters. To nab a murderer, you've to think as a killer. Those who are in an endless search of GOD, has to think as GOD! Nothing can get as complex and confused than to think as GOD! :)
Paulo Cohelo, the best selling writer of all times, have always tried to figure out the enigma behind GOD! Thats why his works are always a shocking revelation, of Life and the society. Cohelo, deftly handles a confused plot with ease and leave an ever lasting 'midas' touch to it. Right from his 'Alchemist', to 'The winner stands alone', he proved his mettle, and there is no way, of imitating him!
Those who haven't read any of cohelo's books, and those who don't used to his style of writing, would find the plots of his stories nothing less than a psychotic work!.:). Having read the 'Alchemist', and on the way of unraveling his latest, 'The winner stands alone', I've read the synopsis of his other book, which made me mad to read it.
"Veronica decides to Die", is a master piece from the master enthraller, released in 1998, the book created the usual ripples , just like all the cohelho's books. Nearly 8 films have made based on the novel, and 20 movies have made inspired by the novel,. If you guess if it's a harry potter type or the Lord of the rings type novel, you'll regret badly!..
Lets unravel the plot! The Story is all about a 24 year old Veronica, our protagonist. She is very beautiful and she just cant help praising herself looking at the mirror. She always never thought of a boy friend, as the idea that no guy on this earth would match her stunning beauty crept deep into her conscience. She has everything, that the whole of the universe is dying to seize, right from wealth, health to intelligence! As the saying goes, too much of anything is bad, Veronica, having fed up with everything in Life, had nothing more than boredom, left for her. Her mornings would start from a bed coffee in a gold cup, and nights end up with a sumptuous fruit salad. She has no goals, no responsibilities! Her parents, insisted her to marry someone and settle! At last, she got up with a sparking idea, to end up all these anomalies. She decides To Die!..
She emptied the bottle full of sleeping pills, and closed her eyes , in the hope of finding some meaning to the so called 'Life'! GOD is not too kind to her, as she woke up in a mental asylum! The story shifts path, and elevates to a new journey into the darkness! cohelo describes the inner darkness of the mind with aplomb. The story revolves around the hospital, with the mentally sick people, and the doctors. Veronica finds out what she's been yearning in the outside world. She finds friendship and Love. At last, she gains the momentum of living. She started to appreciate the same old boring world, with a new eye! The book's one line goes as , " Collection of madness is sanity".
People who showcase their inner mind set, are tagged as mentally disturbed, psychos and dragged from the society. We , the fine, sane, people, are just having all the emotions hidden, deep into our souls, but we manage to suppress it!
I haven't read the book yet. I just read the synopsis, and i'm developing the plot so much! Thats the kind of bonding I have with Cohelo! I understood his style of writing to the core, and he always inspires me!
Sometimes, we always want to fill the voids of our life, with something. Like Love, Smoke, Drinks. I just fill the voids with writing! Having not posted a blog for a long time, I was thinking what to post, and arrived at no idea. Cohelo inspired me yet again. and This post brewed up in 10 minutes!..
P.S. : Collection of madness is called Sanity :) :)
