“Each end gives us the opportunity for a rebirth.” Entitled as an international bestseller author, Paulo Coelho has marked his return with his most personal novel till date, Aleph, which he frequently calls ‘A journey back to my kingdom’. Being the protagonist himself, Coelho explains about his journey from a simple book signing event in London to a whirlwind detour of five weeks through Africa, Europe and finally to Asia on a train. As always, this time too, he doesn’t fail to inspire his readers with his limpid literature and leaves everyone spell bound when it comes to writing about love, hope and confronting the challenges in life. Aleph, as described in the book, is the point where time and space converge. Like the ever loved Santiago, the main character of “The Alchemist”, Paulo too suffers a grave crisis in faith.

I’m finally done with my second internal assessment and found some peace from those bulky books...for at least a few days. And I can finally write otherwise I’d feel stagnant. I don’t think I’d want to mention how my exams went. Oh how I miss those days when I used to ask my teacher about the top scorer and he would just give me a smile and I’d know it was me.

Yeah I know I'm a little late with the New Year wishes but my super hectic schedule prevents me from getting updated through the internet frequently. Well it's the beginning of another year already and like every year; I did make some resolutions to sum up with my unfulfilled resolutions of last year. No one and absolutely no one can compete with my laziness…I bet. Now when I revive the memories from last year, I can recollect some good, some bad and some worst situations that life fed me with. I think getting into BPKIHS was the most vital part of the good memos and ahm…let me mention...grabbing the second position in inter-medical college essay competition. Furthermore, this strong feeling I get time and again is all thanks to the year that is bygone whereas getting to meet someone to whom now I would not throw a penny at is the bitterest period of my entire life. Thank God! Time heals all our wounds. Dancing in the New Year program, ‘Spandan’,...
