RISING TIDE

ABOUT PAULO COELHO

Every once in a while there comes along a man who changes the way you think or act. I believe Paulo Coelho is one such man.The Brazilian author PAULO COELHO was born in 1947 in the city of Rio de Janeiro , the amazing thing about him is that he seems to be influencing people on a massive scale through his books which give so many of us the reason to go on and live a fruitful and sucessful life.
May be it is because he went through a rough patch in his youth before the magic started to flow from his pen,he wants that his fellow humans(i know it seems he is too nice to be real but after reading him i really think that he is a very genuine and concerned person).
He has the quality most of the writers would kill for,the ability to dream and then ponder on those dreams,hammer them,manifest them into reality.
I wish there were more writers like him who wrote about life in general rather than those gory murder stories and flowery biographies but alas we have to do with what we have.
FOR PAULO a few lines
It is confusing this maze in which i am
aimless i wander pondering who i am
show me an angel who will guide me to the door
someone whose music i will adore
someone who will guide and show the way
with joy i will dance and sway
for lo i see the path to freedom
but then i stop and wonder
will i ever be out of this humongous maze
the angel spread his wings and i heard him say
its the journey that matters not your destination anyway

DESTINY

Sometimes i wonder that we all come in this world not knowing what is in store for us,i wonder how amazing the lives would have been for us if we knew what was our part in this world.When i look at some of our great writers ,poets and most of all the great sportspersons of our time i think whether they knew from the start what was in store for then, when did the realisation dawn on them of their destinies.
Picasso was painting since he was a child,David beckham started kicking the ball as soon as he could stand,Sachin tendulkar had the bat in his hand while still in his underpants.Then there are some people who realise their destiny after a long time.
I constantly live in the hope that i will turn out to be one of them ,that i will have the courage to dream and then to follow those dreams.
But then again it is not necessary that one should be destined for great things may be our destiny is to live a normal, happy life with our family.I look up at the stars at night and wish i could be like one of them but then shrug my shoulders and walk away into the dark night happy and at peace with what i am.
Someone had rightly said life is like a box of chocolates you never know what you will get , but thats the fun part otherwise knowing our destinies would make life utterly dull and unintresting
Then when we have enjoyed the wonderful games that destiny will play with us we can safely and snugly make a pact with death but the irony is that even their destiny plays a part in the manner we die.
