eat pray love

"eat pray love" that's the title of the book i am reading presently.

i had picked it up quite some time back on the insistence of my sis. but somehow i cdn't make much progress as i was spending very long hours at work including weekends and early mornings and late nights, and many hours on the road to and from work. plus, i have to admit, somewhere i had managed to cope well and make peace with myself and my life, and having done that i feared reading this book may undo that since the protagonist's thoughts and state is so uncannily similar to my state and life in some ways. so for some time i put the book down, explaining to my sis the reason, which she understood. but then i also told her, i might just pick it right back and hold it by the horns, coz if i really am ok, i should not get affected by reading the book. if i really have moved on, i can be reminded of things without getting hurt and pained in the process.

so come 01 jan, in order to resume my reading habit, more than anything else, i promptly picked up the book again, and for lack of time, did what i had once decided not to do - read on the way in a moving vehicle - to and fro. but be as it must, this seemed to be the only choice. well i hope my eyesight isn't adversely impacted (further) coz of this.

as for the reading bit, am i glad to read again. its like coming back home after a long journey, its like being at peace with oneself and with the cosmos, its like meditating!
