THE WITCH OF PORTOBELLO

How do we find the courage to always be true to ourselves—even if we are unsure of whom we are?

The international bestselling author, Paulo Coelho's profound work, The Witch of Portobello is the story of a mysterious woman named Athena, told by the many who knew her well—or hardly at all.We all live in a world where every single second of our life is manipulated by the cob webs of relationships.It is quite humane to search the meaning of one's existence ,unfortunately or fortunately some will succeed and some wont.Athena, the central character of the book,sets out for a journey in search of her identity and she believed that the path is more important than whatever make you set off along it.She thus tries to fill in the blank spaces in her life to give it a new meaning.

To those who love reading between lines,Paulo Coelho's The witch of Portobello ,can be a good choice.

The Quest

On going through some of the prominent blogs,I found it relevant in gearing up for my space in this mesmerising world of blogs.As an acknowledgment I would thank Mr.Aroop Dwivedi for being my inspiration behind this venture.(http://www.aroopsays.blogspot.com/)

I was born and brought up in the Gods own Country...(kerala).As the majority i too had my schooling without pretty much the knowledge of the world of opportunities that awaits me .It was during the days of my 10 th grade that I mustered enough courage for the first time to take up a decision on my own.But then my task was pretty easy since i was given only two options-Either Science or Arts.Unfortunately or fortunately I had to go with the vogue,and i opted for science.As a matter of fact, my science classes were so productive that it taught me how to dream...hmmmm......i felt like Alice in the Wonderland whenever my eyes and ears were exposed to the beautiful world of mathematical symbols and equations.Anyway,thanks to Science for it taught me that i can do more justice to Arts...

I did my graduation in B.A.Communicative English and could contribute my best in my studies.Quite surprisingly i did my masters in social work and specialised in Human Resource Management.And that's why today am into the shoes of an HR officer

I now realize that it was all a journey...which equally shared the bed of roses and thorns,both . The journey never stops...rather it takes you through different topographies.I always disliked the complexities of the world around me.I was taught how to choose between the rights and the wrongs ,but never learned to decide between what is right and what is wrong.To add to it, i had to encounter the latter many a times in my life......

But today,as i woke up....gave a beautiful smile at the dawn , as she whispered in my ears"wake up to the difference dear".And for me the QUEST continuez......may be with a different aura
