The Alchemist Untold.

Yesterday I attended the Fine Art Photography at Tao Art Galley-Worli of ‘The Alchemist Untold’ produced by Aswin Gidwani Productions & covered by CNBC –TV 18 Network..It was a curtain raiser of the theatrical adaptation of the bestseller coming to uour city soon.
I haven’t read The Alchemist yet,as was keen on Paulo Coelho’s Brida more,but his this masterpiece is one of those few books which is published every few decades & changes the lives of it’s reader’s forever.I’m looking forward to read it & experience how it will change my life or my perspective toward’s life.
The magical ‘The Alchemist’ was presented in an amazing form of visual art,by renowned names in photography, advertising & other respective fields.They were Mr.Aswin Mehta,Mr.Amit Mehra,Mr.Ashok Dilwali,Mr.Ashok Roy & Mr.Vinay Mahidkar.
Whatever I could grasp was that ‘The Alchemist’ is about believing yourself,it is about your attitude standing out against all odds.It is not about big bank balances,BMWs,villas,but about that smile brought over by content.Content- that I tried,tried to tread the untrodden path, I tried to dare customs,I tried even if in the process fell & marred my self with dust ,sweat & blood.It’s far better than being one of those timid souls who never attempted for the fear of falling.
I have also broken customary expectations that were expected of me,a management student,i.e. to pursue master’s in finance & land up a viable & secure job,but I chose to follow my heart,It lay in the media & entertainment industry.I aspire to be a newsdesk reporter & to anchor shows on TV.It didn’t go down well with my dictor cum business man father.Daddy’s little girl indeed had grown up from being unconstructively stubborn to taking her stand & staying there long enough,for him to relent too.
Now back to where I started from-Tao Art Gllery.Why was I there?Coz my family have always been art connossiuers & this time I had to learn .Boy! did I ? I did ,I did !
Lets end it ‘The Alchemist’s ‘way in Paulo Coelho’s magical words” The book describes peoples inability to choose their own destinies.And it ends up saying the everyone believes the worlds greatest LIE,i.e. at a certain point in our lives,we loose control of what’s happening to us & our lives,believing its controlled by fate,THAT ‘s THE WORLD’s GREATEST LIE.
