Shantaram who? Or atleast how does the name sounds? i guess most of you could think of the name for a swamy or a saint or for a religious chanting. Well, let me keep it for myself for a while , but not too long jus before i finish this blog.
Many of you must have read sensational, thrillin, mind-blowin, romantic, hard-to-put-down, suspense, heart-throbbin.... oh man, will i jus runout of words to club all kinda categories from the world of novels? i should guess so. Whatsoever, every book has its own literature to unveil at expose! exaggeratin the art of thought-to-hand.
But this one novel i finished turnin pages recently had it all, all the stuff that could be enjoyed in all the categories of books, i mentioned before, put together. A stubborn classic work of literature, and i mean the word stubborn with intensity.
Moreover, what surprises about this book is its an autobiography of a criminal elaboratin deep aspects of his life. The chronology of events is so acutely recollected from the memory banks which makes the book look more fictional, infact some part of it is, than non-fictional.
Nevertheless, its a complete capture of emotions right through a smile to laugh, anxiety to rage, scary to horrible, pale to sorrow, sobbin to outcry, like to love, foe to friends, sick to worse, betray to promise, owe to favor, fate to luck.... oh my god! thats infinite but worth mentionin. So much more to each and every character, that appear inline to the story.
Theres so much enough and voluminous wisdom all along the book, in every page, with well-tailored reality and philosophy. And let me put it straight that, its not like any philosophical volume penned by someone like Paulo coelho.
The guy then was a freakin criminal ( did wrong things for right reasons ) and now a philanthropist who along with his wife and others has set up charity in the name of "Heart For India", heartforindia.org, to serve the destitutes of the country he loves and owes so much, thats India. And to add more, one of its center is in Mylapore, Chennai.
Above all the book deals most of the time answerin "How to move on?" and i bet u'll certainly find an answer to atleast one of the difficult questions of ur life. Its a damn dashin read, you jus could not resist yourself to miss a word.Well, i cannot further reveal the insights of the beauty of this remarkably impressive autobiography. I dont either expect critics or force you to read the book.
All i can say, about the book, is "You would love to be a criminal after readin this book."
Explore it yourself! its kinda "must-read" or precisely "dont-miss" category.
