Dear,

Readers

2016 is Done and dusted with but, looking back at the year and looking back at the book that made a difference to me I am writing this letter continuing my blog of the other books that I read and enjoyed.

“The High Mountains of Portugal “by Yann Martel was one such book that made me want to read this author after reading the blurb Three journeys.Three broken hearts . One question …

What’s life without stories ?

And the more the reasons I enjoyed reading the book was since it has been a year of asking ourself What life truly is ? And life is about Stories as stories are what connect us.

The moment you read what the book is about ,You want to give it a read.The book is written in three parts homeless,Homeward and home. And its interesting since its about three stories that has a common conclusion and very descriptive,describing every detail and making the reader imagine the setting as if he is there. The story is a little odd and not every reader will enjoy this.
The book blurb has one thought that makes you question -“Three journeys.Three broken hearts . One question …What’s life without stories”?

“The Color Purple” By Alice Walker . The “Color Purple “is a novel, made up of letters written by Celie to God and by Nettie to Celie. At the start of the novel, Celie is a fourteen-year-old, vulnerable, abused black girl who addresses her letters to “Dear God.”
The Book interested me since I had read a lot about it.And It does not fail to disappoint. The letter writing style used by the writer to write the book was something I enjoyed reading and staying interested till the end ,something that not every book can do.

Also at a time when letter writing is history,The book will only make you fall in love with the idea of why can’t we have letters written today?

On this note wish you all a very Happy New Year !!!  2017 here  is and There are still a lot I want to read,Learn from and experience about the different period of life and how The different parts of the world sitting in another corner of the world.If you have any suggestion on books that I must read or I might like please comment and let me know .

Thanks,

Akhil

 

PRAHA !

IMG_7416

Travelling is something that makes you relate to places you have visited before, So on my recent vacation to Prague the moment I started exploring the city of Czech republic, I was reminded of Edinburgh in Scotland ,the particular setting of that place ,the statue near the Charles bridge,And the tram line towards the old town going through the architecture gave me the feeling of me being in Florence in Italy.To the extent ,the panoramic view of the city made me relate to Capri in Italy  from Petrîn hill , when I could endlessly only see red roof tops from the viewing point as compared to the White House of Capri.No,I am not boasting of being a globetrotter,But only getting you to notice how travelling to so many places has made me observe and believe,that Prague is a place having something like every European country.

The cathedrals name Being the same with only the beauty of the stained glasses around being  different.

The traditional food “goulash”  soup like curry with the option of beef,Pork and chicken and bread is popular cuisine here.That was something different since all over Europe there are only a few dishes that are wet.The “Tredlink” Pronouced Tredlin was another tasty sweet cone with sugar coated on the sides, And if you wanted to have some guilty pleasure you could add the Nutella and vanilla ice cream to go for the kill.

This trip to Prague has been one of those trips that makes you wonder Europe has everything alike,Yet is so different.

Our life !! 


There are many factors that affect our life and one of them is
,Your environment is a also a factor that moulds you as a person with the other factors that involve a humans evolvement from developing a personality that’s distinct from each human or in many ways similar to many.

But our genes also remain a factor that dominates our life in many ways ,we only realise when we study further the cause and effects of some of the medical diagnosis that has affected some of our family members.

With so much of us,from many of us it’s impossible not to have a question ,why is that way we have to be like this ?

I mean isn’t there anybody in the world who doesn’t have a single background to him/her at all ?
Of course the answer would be the very fact we are born in the world is because of the reproduction through two souls meeting each other .And that’s when we are born .

But the birth itself,gives us some qualities that we don’t believe we are born with or are either enhanced while growing up or while being compared by our parents amongst themselves and the child.

But what if the child wants to try something new that’s not being even thought of or even thought one day one of the family member could ever think About .
Why should one be denied,for one who thinks,he is capable rather confident about doing something in this Big Big World.

Theatre!

Theatre is so much more powerful than movies,the medium has actors performing live to an audience with just the stage as the only space for performances,theatre has just the few lights and the core acting team performing a few characters each.Theatre becomes even more challenging for the performing artists to play ,the character with so much of disturbance around,The laughter and the movement the concentration becomes the only means of staying true to the character performed by the actors,the spontaneous action and reaction between characters  is more enjoyable in  the plays rather than movies.Writer Bloc 4 the 10 day long festival at Prithvi which started on the 1st April and Will concluded on the 10th  has made me look at theatre from a perspective that I haven’t really come across in the past while watching plays.The storytelling is simplified with actors  in-acting scenes without any hesitance in front of the audience.The lighting is the key part  in theatre since that would only help the audience  know whether its day or night sequence.The 2 plays that,I have watched so far since the festival have begun has also made  me realise the language doesn’t really matter the story and the Act by the Actors can help you understand and enjoy the play.

With just a week left,why not head to Prithvi to watch some interesting plays?,written by writers who want a platform to showcase their talent to people who love the theatre medium and encourage new talent on another platform of art which is dying a slow death .

   

 

Travel to rediscover yourself !!!

 

Travel -Travelling is a feeling of living a life of a particular  people and place within the time you are there .

Travel can make you relate with people of different culture & backgrounds 

Travel makes you rich with experiences and poor with money 

People Travel to realise that ,people are almost the same everywhere 

Travel makes you realise  ,it’s already tomorrow in another country.

If you travel frequently ,You will know why we people travel ,we travel to keep our state of mind occupied with work or be at peace by searching for the meaning of what else can we do .Travelling is being you in another place .Travelling means to try now or never,I don’t know when I will be back here or will I ever be back here?Travelling makes you realise  that there are more like you, you aren’t the only one.

Travel in my view stands for :

T-Time

R-Reach 

A-Around 

V-Vision 

E-Evolve 

L-Lost
