Life is what you make of it




Maybe it was just the name of the book that appealed to me. Life is what you make it. I could not agree more. The plot of the book was as anticipated. No surprises. Close to lines of The Shawshank Redemption; only that the character gets to spend time behind the walls of a mental hospital and not a prison.

Well sometimes it makes me wonder is it only the Indians who are so prone to dejection in an event of rejection. Ten folds if it is being spurned away by some lady. The feeling of insecurity has creeped in so much into our lives. It has just made us overtly irrational. When I started reading the book certain characters made me smile. Today, as I finished reading the book a cold feeling engulfs me. Makes me think, do I owe my life to anyone else other than myself? Few impulsive actions and scars remain for an entire life time. Yet, I firmly believe that time is the best healer. I do not advocate irrationality and all the actions of all the characters oozed of it. Sometimes in life, you just have to accept. Forget. Forgive. Move on. You just cannot let the past hold you in captivity.

The only thing that I would possibly take away from this book would be that in order to climb new mountains, you need to descend from the ones that you have already climbed.

Faith has immense credibility. Faith is all that you need to have- to change your fate. Amen!
