In fact I have not read any of his works after the Alchemist (which I read in 6th or 7th I think).I guess I may not appreciate it as much as having to read this with having read aleph before. <br /><br />Oh it is fitting that you being a teacher would write this. I like your use of tautology in this.

A fit case is me too, ...You're welcome, Govind.<br />A fit case is me too, so you'll have to get in line I'm afraid :) But that is an interesting point you make there. <br />I'd read somewhere about 'writers' intent' and 'readers' intent'. And it is something I keep telling the kids in class, that any literary piece is yours too, as a reader, and to not limit one's notions on it for it is as much a listener/reader who defines with his/her own set of experiences what to read into or out of it :) Found a resonance there, too.

One more thing sanity is a prerogative of the listener(reader). The speaker (or for that matter the writer) need not appear to be sane. Do I make any sense? I need not, as a writer of this comment I can appear to be insane. A fit case for the asylum eh?Govindhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12066891598591578295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3648921142184155388.post-54805982486353798452011-11-15T19:47:37.539+05:302011-11-15T19:47:37.539+05:30Govind, thank you.

I never tire of admiring your verse for it apt rhyme, and the way it always expresses the muse way better than the ramble you post this on :)<br /><br />Aleph. This is Paulo Coelho's latest offering, wherein he describes what, to him, the Aleph is. It is many things, the first letter of the Arabic language, in others too. The point where everything, past, present and future meet; the place where one can transform, revert, find the matchless, singular soulmate, if time space persons come together... It... I was deeply moved by it,and an FB status update after I finished had the words "untainted and unapologetic". Whimsical too. I must confess this write is entirely inspired by the book :)<br /><br />I wonder if, as usual, I am confounding or speaking sanely, but there it is. :)<br />Thank you once again, Govind.Usha Pisharodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08569968324374522544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3648921142184155388.post-47653902867231590532011-11-15T17:57:11.018+05:302011-11-15T17:57:11.018+05:30Love has its own merits
