The Alchemist! A wonderful book to read

It had been so long since I have been thinking about reincarnating my blog. May be it is one of the best occasions to start with. The difference between an ordinary and extraordinary book is what is the difference between by last post and this post. But of course, both of them are not comparable at all in many ways. It had been a great feeling while reading the book The Alchemist. It connected to me so well that I did not get bored at single page of the book also. It keeps your enthu alive through out the book. This might be because of the interesting dimensions like adventure, travel, spirituality and about the life all tied together. More importantly,it gave me opportunity to know about alchemy which was mainly about two interesting things called Elixir of Life and Philosopher's stone for which our ancestors tried hard and that paved the way for modern medicine. It is one of the inspirational books that makes you to think about enjoying life by achieving dreams and reaching your destiny. I feel that it is one of the very few books everyone must read. Interestingly, this book had been the inspiration for one of my colleague(from an IIT) to pursue his master's degree. Eagerly waiting to start another one: The Fountain Head.
