I am taken up by a very captivating story of a prostitute in Paulo Coelho’s ” Eleven Minutes”.Initially i had some apprehensions abt the book. But then I took the courage n started reading it. And since then i just cant keep the bookaside, it’s so captivating. U keep reading , for u want to know wat happens next in the life of this protagonist called Maria, who is frm a small town in brazil but who has big dreams.i think every girl dreams abt finding her true love, settling down with him, having two children, living in a luxurious house. She dreams abt making big into this world. She dreams abt having an adventure. Some dream abt earning more money.I think its universal . Coelho is absolutely right wen he says that we all are either looking for an adventure, money or a husband….
I love Coelho’s books. his characterisation is so real . his stories are so close to life. He writes not to please our senses, but he writes abt things he feels strongly abt. His stories allow u to dream. It allows ur imagination to run wild. it dares u to dream n have faith in them.His books are so inspiring. i really love reading them.

Met my mom for a cup of coffee. Presenting snippets of the conversation.
Mom:”Ur cousin R, she is seeing this guy who is the regional general manager of #$%^&*@! a reputed company and who drives his own chevrolet.
Me: “wow!!good for her”
Mom:”She’s doing so well for herself. And look at u!! u r still pining away for that good for nothing fellow.He didnt even have a car. Not even a bike!!!God knows wat u ever saw in him.”
Me:”Mom, he is just beginning.He doesnt own any mode of transport but he might some day. Life has just begun for him.And like me he wants to be indepedent. His dad has this big job,they live in a big house they even have a car of their own. So cut it out mom. ”
Mom: “He is just a good for nothing fellow. Didnt even have courage to fight 4 want he wants in his life.”
Me: (quietly) “Maybe he didnt want me enough to fight for me.”
Mom: (frowns at me and gives me a oh so mom look)”U should start living ur life now,Anu.He is gone. Let him go, beta.Dont look back.”
Me:”I have let him go, Maa. I let him go a long time ago.”
Mom:”U know wat i mean…”
Me:”Yeah,I do. I wanna carve a niche for myself mom. I want to forget everything that happened in past.I do, i really do, Maa.Give me some time…”
