How did i spend my last 500 rupees ? Saris..bangles..more ethnique bags...no..no..no :).There was I sitting patiently waiting for departing time to arrive..mingling with the rest of the team...and there stood SANKARs..filled with visual rhapsody that i lurve to indulge in. SANKARs is a mini version of a TIMES bookstore...situated strategically at the entrance of the departing hall.
I picked up two books from unknown writers...for about 500 rupees (equivalent o S$20.00...woohoo :)
I diligently finished one of the paperbacks...in one night...WHY? because it is truly inspiring...get it at a bookstore near uu...
Tuesdays with Morrie by Mitch Albom
Extracted from book's back cover:
Maybe it was a grandparent, a teacher or a colleague. Somone older, patient and wise, who understood you when you were young and impassioned, helped you to see the world as a more profound place, and gave you sound advice to guide your way through it. For Mitch Albom, it was Morrie Schwartz, the college professor who taught him nearly twenty years ago.
Perhaps, like Mitch, you lost track of this mentor as the the years passed, the insights faded, and the world seemed colder. Wouldn't you like to see that person again, to ask the bigger questions that still haunt you, and receive wisdom for your busy life the way you once did when you were younger?
Mitch Albom got that second chance, rediscovering Morrie in the last months of the older man's life. Their rekindled relationship turned into one final "class" lesson in how to live. Tuesdays with Morrie is a magical chronicle of their time together.
Parental Advisory board: Purchase this book...add it to one of your life chronicles.
Morrie's Words..to be remembered not forgotten. (extracted from the book)
"Sometimes you cannot believe what you see, you have to believe what you feel. And if you are ever going to have other people trust you, you must feel that you can trust them, too- even when you're in the dark. Even when you're falling."
I have to learn to trust and entrust...the cycle begins. I have to trust when someone says, " I am going to miss you". I have to trust what have been entrusted to me.
