Padithadhil pidithadhu
I got hold of this book “Manual of Warrior of Light” by Paulo Coelho from my office library and its absorbing in its own way.
For eg.
The warrior of light unwittingly takes a false step and plunges into the abyss.
Ghosts frighten him and solitude torments him. His aim had been to fight the Good Fight, and he never imagined that this would happen to him, but it did. Shrouded in darkness, he makes contact with his master.
‘Master, I have fallen into the abyss,’ he says.’The waters are deep and dark.’
‘Remember one thing,’ replies his master.’You do not drown simply by plunging into water, you only drown if you stay beneath the surface.’
And the warrior uses all his strength to escape from his predicament.

Hi Prabu, glad that u like Paulo Coelho’s books - have u read his latest book “Zahir” i think his books reach out to us and makes us question and understand more about ourselves. I liked the story u included in ur entry.

Latha,
thanks for your comment.
no i haven’t read his Zahir.
Alchemist is my alltime fav book.
Veronica decides to die was good too.
Frankly i am a bit paranoid about annymous comments alerts in my mail. it can be anything from a decent “Podaaangaa….”to more well not so decent stuff including viagra ads.
thankfully, it was a nice comment after all.

Apologies Prabu sir for giving u the “shivers” upon receiving the msg
I’m not used to sending such messages in fact yest was the first time i gathered the courage to leave a comment. I enjoyed reading ur blog and came across it by accident - read it with keen interest - appreciate ur sense of humour and ur insight on the terrorism issue. The range of topics u cover amazes me. Keep up the good work:) Being an Indian, reading the blog of a fellow Indian is definitely more interesting and easy to identify with. Oh by the way the Black Eyed Peas copy-adicha song was a revelation. I will end my “nice comments” here in case i start sounding like a crazy fan
