Every story you read has a lesson to tell. It could be a fairy tale, fantasy or pure fiction, It will still teach you an invaluable lesson. Knowledge is the most important weapon, which would help you, fight various struggles in life. The books i write have a moral to teach. Various such lessons in life which enable a person to lead a successful life are discussed in this blog.
This is what my brother had
to say about what are books:
“Books are a printed or
written material of pages bond together; cover neatly designed and carved out. This
leads the reader into a known unknown territory of self-astonishment, self-belief,
happiness, sadness, regret, amazement and self-respect or none. Books are
ageless, selfless, teach endlessly and are loved and hated endlessly.”
This reminds me of some
funny pictures which I saw in my college time. I did a search on google and was
able to obtain more-or-less replica images. I have attached these images below:
Now that I know I want to
write, the next question which comes in my mind is what do I write abou? As
Nitish had rightly commented on my previous post, what a writer writes is a mirror
image of him or herself. It reflects the person’s characters. If you are honest
with yourself, that honesty would reflect in your writings. If something has
been honestly written, it is always likely to touch the reader’s mind.
This Saturday evening,
as I looked towards the sky, I realised the beauty of nature. It amazes me
think just how beautifully the sky can transform itself into a beautiful riot
of colors. The sky was an amalgam of orange and yellow with a dash of pink. In
between were interspersed bold strokes of indigo. I think it would rain soon.
I hoped it did…..A much needed respite
in this hot scorching Delhi heat.
Soon I could feel the
wet drops of rain falling on my head, hand and palms. Yes it was raining. As I
looked at the falling drops of rain around me, it made me happy. It also let me
think of a childhood prayer I learnt at school, titled “count your blessings
name them one by one”. I googled the term and located the YouTube link with the
lyrics of the entire hymn. It is attached here
This prayer holds a lot
of significance in my life. When faced with a tough time, I listen to this
song. All my doubts fly and I am ready to carry afresh.
Dreaming with your eyes
closed is bound to make you fall asleep. However, dreaming with your eyes open
is likely to give am impetus to your creativity and imagination. When you are
dreaming with your eyes open you are likely to think something creative and out
of the box. This creative imagination
will help you stand apart from the crowd. If you dream big, you shall probably
make it big one day. If you dream of getting the moon, there are high chances
that one day you might at least acquire one of the stars. Dreaming is likely to
give you a vision in life. Having a vision is important for achieving your
dream.
"If
you can dream it, you can do it." (And before you can do it, you've got to
dream it!)
“Joy of living is the celebration of
being alive”, I had first learnt this phrase at school in one
of my English textbooks (I don’t
remember the exact class). Since that time, this quote had become an integral
part of my life. In fact, the first fiction novel, “joy of living”
has also been inspired from this quote.
Motivated by this priceless quote of
Dr Christiaan Barnard, the first cardiac surgeon to perform successful
human-to-human heart transplant, Joy of Living is a love story
where the lovers face a misfortune. An inspirational story, it tracks the
determination, fight, and the fierce desire of the female protagonist to
rebound after she loses everything she had once valued the most, except her
hope.
This hope gives her incredible
courage and she gradually picks up the pieces to complete the picture yet again
to realize her true passion in life. The message of the story is, “The
best way to live life is to celebrate it with whatever one has and not grieve
over what one does not have or what life has taken away.”
Here are a few of my favorite snap
shots from the book:
