we live we die and then .. ?

So , alone I sat in my not so exciting room wondering what to fidget with., I waited and waited and finally my eyes laid upon Mitch Alboms’s ‘The five people you meet in heaven ‘ , lying aloof with dust settled on it , from time immemorial it has always been lying there in my father’s shelf and yet had never quite caught my attension .I bet the title make’s you curious it certainly made me curious too and within no time I was already turning its pages. Mitch Albom , it was my first book of his . To be honest I did not quite like his language , was too short and straightforward , but to contrast it with his simple writing he wrote a book that will get you thinking about life , or to be more precise the life after death .

 Certainly many of us believe that life after death is followed by testimony and then conventionally followed by either heaven or hell . well, some might have their own theories too , but Mitch believed in something else he saw life as a passing phase which at present really doesn’t quite make sense because the answer is waiting for all of us what life was really all about and each one of us have a different answer and reasons to live and that’s what made Mitch write this book, as he said ‘there are no random acts. That we are all connected. That you can no more separate one life from another than you can separate a breeze from the wind’. He specially emphasized on the word ‘strangers’ , according to him we all are a part of one big family and a person who might me a Stanger to you today might be the reason for whom your alive tomorrow. 

He has actually given a deeper meaning to the ‘strangers’ who surround our lives every day In the story the main protagonist who dies a brutal death , goes through the journey of heaven which he too thought of it as quite a different place somewhere where he would get peace and boundless joy , yes peace did come to him but not in the form of leisure but in the form of reasons and answers , by those ‘strangers’ whom he too never knew, never loved and never bothered but lastly it was them that made him realize the reason for his existence and that’s how peace came to him.

 It was’SNT quite a book that I would say ‘you haven’t lived if you haven’t read that” but yes if your actually bored reading your vampire books and frivolous love stories you might just want to try something that Mitch’s got to offer.
