Are you happy in your life?
Do you love yourself? How much
time do you devote to yourself? Do you carry out self-introspection? Do you
have a wish-list? Rather have you ever tried to make one? If you have taken the
pain of enlisting one, have you strike off anything at all? Are you yet to do
something to make those small wishes come true? Will you do anything at all?!
Did you choose your profession
because that was your passion or because parents/peers stressed you to take it?
Given a choice, will you follow your heart or your ever rational brain?
Are you a believer of
“tomorrow”? I mean do you postpone everything to tomorrow? Don’t you know that
tomorrow is uncertain? Have you ever thought that there may not be any tomorrow
at all? That you may die anytime/any day in anyways?!
Do you accumulate wealth for a
safer old-age that you forget to enjoy this
moment of your life? Are you being truthful to yourself when you say that
you love being workaholic?
If the answer to any/all of the
above questions is NO, then man, you have to grab the book innovatively named
as “F?@K Knows” penned by Shailendra
Singh.
The book keep reminding you
that life is too short and that anything can happen to anybody at anytime. The
author further reminds and continues to emphasis the importance of following
your heart. The author has essayed the entire book based on his personal
experience and observation.
The narrative is well-edited
and hence crisp. The writing style is simple. Most of the poignant and
complicated topics are dealt with a touch of humor. At times, little stories
are written. Most of the stories seem to be taken from the pages of author’s
own life. The book is interesting enough.
The preamble per se is funny
and the author asks the readers to read one chapter at a time, preferable, in a
day. I tried doing that. But alas! I had only seven days to finish the book. So
I was forced to read a little too much L I bet that you will enjoy more if you read a
chapter at a time, especially at the end of the day. There are words that will
ring a bell within you. Some will indeed make you do something. For example, I
personally wrote a “Bucket List” enlisting my small wishes that I want to
fulfill at the earliest. Oh yes! I managed to fulfill a promise that I had made
to myself six long years ago!
The message that the book
carries is simple. Life is short and you never know what is there for you the
next moment. Hence live your life (read as each moment) to the fullest. You
never know if there is a tomorrow.
And important of all, if you
are unhappy with your professional life, try to do something that you are
passionate about. Spend some time with yourself and try to understand yourself.
In short, the book is not a
work of literature or psychology. It is just an echo of the cries of your
heart. It is the voice of that little heart which we always choose to ignore.
So all of you reading this…
Grab the book and listen to the whispers of your heart. See the World in a
wider angle and believe that there is no tomorrow. And guess what? If you do
that something beautiful will happen – you will not fear death anymore!
Happy reading! J
