THE ALCHEMIST

                                                                                        Ratings:- 3 out of 5 ❤❤❤

About the Book:-


It is a good read but a bit overrated. Anyhow, I like it because it holds powerful motivational value along with a beautiful story-line that not only teaches about destiny, belief but also about the meaning of love.

Why I read it again:-

I have completed this book in 4 days approximately. I had read it before as well but going through the reviews, I thought I might have missed something. So, I read it again for the sake of getting the essence of the book that might have been ignored when I read it before.

The book is a good read as it has quotes that are beautifully used to motivate the reader and to make him believe in destiny and work for it. The book outlines the importance of listening to your heart, which gives us signs in form of omens to guide us through our journeys. The book also highlights the meaning of love, which was beautiful. I loved it.

Ideas in the Story:-
  • The main idea behind the story is that if you require something then the whole universe conspires to get you that, and it is repeated several times. Like, a shepherd boy dreamt of finding treasure in the Pyramids, he believed in his vision and followed it, and he was given signs by Mother Nature to pursue it.
  • Another important thing that came out at the very end of the story was that journey or the path one follows has great importance as well, which is all about getting to know yourself and finding your true happiness; this is where you will get your treasure as well. The universe is energy; when our vibes match with it, we will for sure receive the omens. No matter how close or far your treasure is; the main focus should be on the journey because it is the one that can unveil the worth, happiness, and life’s purpose of a person. The journey itself holds more importance as does the destination does.
  • “Maktub” this word fascinated me, gave me a shiver down my spine. Our lives are intertwined and everything that happens, every person we meet is because that it was meant to. Even the slightest thing has something to do with our destinies.
Ending Note:-

Overall, the book reminds us of the things that we already know but have forgotten or ignored to attain riches, recognition, or whatnot. It’s just a basic thing to keep in mind that one must have a dream and strength for realizing it.



P.S.:- I will be editing this and posting some more articles about the book "The Alchemist" soon.

He was frustrated again, She was listening to him, A feeble smile on her face but crying hard inside Not showing him the scars he was giving her unknowingly, Because she has seen his ragged soul very clearly He wanted her to say out loud that she loves him She was waiting for his turn to come early Their love was losing voice in the vacuum surrounding their relation All that she wanted was him in his life But he has already bestowed his life to her and her only.             (By Ravin S)

love and faith

Walking down the aisle, June asks herself, whether she has chosen the right path or whether she will be swinging forever between what she desired to have and what she has received. Her father accompanied her and they both proceed towards the stand of bishop. She was looking like beautiful flake of snow that has engulfed whole whiteness of the season and her hair were tied in a bun and there rest a beautiful piece of hair pin, made of ivory and blue crystals, what a fine masterpiece, crafted all by her mother, Lina, a perfectionist in making jewellery. Back of her dress was all lacy and her beautifully toned body was supporting the attire very well. Relatives and other visitors present in the ceremony were in awe after having a glance of her.  As she raised her eyes to have full look of the arrangements that Roy, her future husband, has made, she was thrived to see such a vintage look that he has given to the place. It was beautiful day of spring, Greenery was all over the place...
