Richard Bach : Jonathan Livingston Seagull (Review)

A decent fable, written by Richard Bach, based on the life of a Gull who lived on the shore. The main aim of their life was to collect food for their survival. The story is a message to all those who follow their passion irrespective of what society thinks about them. There is a basic human tendency which complies with Newton's first law that a body remains in the original state unless external force applied. Whenever one tries to do anything new and innovative, people misjudge him and try to demotivate him. This message is beautifully described through the life of a similar Gull who wanted to lead a different life than his flock. The Gull only wanted to fly as every day was the last day of its life. After a lot of practice and hard work, it finally succeeded to attain a record speed. But owing to the tendency of their flock, they ousted the Gull. But as the saying goes, "God helps those who help themselves", the Gull never left its path and worked vigorously for ...

Paulo Coelho : The Alchemist (Review)

The novel is written in a very beautiful and systematic manner. The story revolves around a boy who comes out of his comfort zone to accomplish his dream. Actually, the story is not just about the kid in the book but every individual out there in this world. Nothing is possible unless we come out of our comfort zone. Albeit we tend to remain in the cocoon but this is not the solution. The world we are living in today would not have been the same if every individual had thought for his comfort zone. One can only grow and achieve when it hits out its limitations and boundaries. Every successful human being we talk about has done something different from others is able to achieve what he/she has today. The message of the book is "When you desire something from the heart even the whole universe conspires you to achieve it." The message is very strong and clear that one should follow his dream no matter what it takes to it. The story is all about the boy who used to be ...

Andre Agassi : OPEN (Review)

A big big big Tennis Fan and just got amazed to read the magnificent, one of the best Autobiography rated ever OPEN by legendary tennis player Andre Agassi. Also acclaimed as The Punisher for to make sure that every point needed sweat like hell. 8 times Grand Slam winner, only 4th player to win all the grand slams and Gold in Olympics. Married to another women's legendary tennis superstar Steffi Graff (22 Grand Slams plus Olympic Gold). The novel is very inspiring and emotional that how a middle-class boy who hated tennis all his life, superseded the many legendary players and established his own aura and image. After reading it felt like I have lived a life with him, his journey from a 7-year old kid hitting machine ball in the backyard to end up world number 1, 60 career titles and what not. The world has seen one of the best rivalries between Sampras And Agassi, his fight with Boris Becker and even the divorce from TV sensation Brooke Shields. This man has all i...
