BY THE RIVER PIEDRA I SAT DOWN & WEPT

The transition was like this.
God-fearing, Pessimistic, Pragmatic to Atheistic, Pessimistic and Schizophrenic. I have changed a lot over the years with respect to the times and situations. Whatever the universe was going to propound, I considered it and believed in it. This novel made me think about the feminine side of the unknown. For the first time in my life, I had to reflect upon my thoughts on something I did not believe in in terms of its very existence.

 Paulo Coelho's books are not for reading; they are for teleporting us across space and distance like a magic carpet. His expressions of thoughts have always been vivid.

On that note, I can say this book speaks volumes about any girl's thoughts. It makes the readers feel what she goes through at the very moment. The interconnectedness that each chapter has borne with our personal experiences is an enchanted feeling. "Love is God".It is omnipotent, hidden inside each one of us. Some become discoverers of eternal love and live with it while the rest experiment with it and fail.
                      This book is a therapy for broken hearts and a vaccine for those who are about to go through that phase.

MOVIE REVIEW- MODIGLIANI

MODIGLIANI (2004) Director: Mick Davis  Starring : Andy García, Elsa Zylberstein, Omid Djalili Biopic of famous Italian artist Amedeo Modigliani. The movie is set in Paris in 1919 and takes you on an artistic journey showcasing the life and works of Modigliani. During that era, Modigliani's biggest rival was another world-famous artist, Pablo Picasso. Their competition, self-centric approach and ego project them as mighty contenders and arch-rivals in the field of art. This eventually leads them to face each other in a famous competition that the whole world was waiting for Modigliani Vs Picasso. The works of Modigliani stood the test of time and were celebrated because of the emotions they radiated. To this day, this is being examined. All of Modigliani's works were the manifestation of his own emotions and experiences. This movie beautifully captures the personal story of the artist and closes with a climax that will leave you feeling heavy. Andy Garcia amazingly impers...
