Maybe it will if i read it again in a few years and treat it more like philosophy than like fiction.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17348888.post-1164124449463505512006-11-21T20:54:00.000+05:002006-11-21T20:54:00.000+05:00vacant :Pi was trying to study for a mid term, and...vacant :P<BR/><BR/>i was trying to study for a mid term, and coelho popped in my mind all of a sudden, and er, i just started a mental argument with myself regarding the drawbacks of being so popularised and widely read versus the true brilliance of coelho.<BR/><BR/>i still think that had the alchemist not brought him in daily culture, he'd be accalimed for the real brilliance that he holds. poor guy's been done in by something that isn't at all his fault.. <BR/><BR/><BR/>again, vacant mind?! :PS.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12918255837208344694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17348888.post-1164018812534206872006-11-20T15:33:00.000+05:002006-11-20T15:33:00.000+05:00Sidrah, thats the sign of a vacant mind, rattling ...Sidrah, thats the sign of a vacant mind, rattling off stuff. Well we all do it so I guess your ok.<BR/><BR/>Boo, welcome back man, yeah thing with him is he writes what we are looking for, what we usually dont find in everyday life, the ideal way.

You don't even realize it at times.<BR/><BR/>I do generally agree with him though, on most things. And I guess he does write well :)Boo!https://www.blogger.com/profile/12029202400107479498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17348888.post-1164010579587004032006-11-20T13:16:00.000+05:002006-11-20T13:16:00.000+05:00how curious is that! i was just rattling off a men...how curious is that! i was just rattling off a mental eulogy to coelho this morning!S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12918255837208344694noreply@blogger.com
