Finally i've finished the book - the five people you meet in heaven..thanks to a friend who lend it to me..don't have to wait for months before my sister can bring that book back...have been coveting for the book for months...so... my take on the book...it's mind triggering basically, gets you thinking about heaven...what's really up there in heaven, or is it even up above us.. as it might just be on the same piece of land we are treading on... the author's underlying point is that he envisioned heaven as any place where the person can find eternal calmness, happiness and contentment...so it could be anywhere the person has always enjoyed being at....may it be the monotonous place that you've spent your last 20 years...haha...if ever that's true, i think i will end up in my own house...preferably with a chocolate factory right next to it...hahha....wow...that will be a real dream come true...and yes...like what the title has implied..you will meet five people at five different place before you reach your own heaven....those five will come with the great onus of teaching the person a lesson... lessons based on your past life when you get to see with greater clarity the life you have lived, which have often been a blur... you will get to learn from your mistakes which would have changed some people's life ..or even worse...cost their lives..directly or tortuously.. it's amazing how things can be related in such a way..so inexplicable... which reminds me of what one of my friend has said...everyone in the world is connected to everyone...at most six degrees of connection..never more...intriguing....
guess different people will have different perception or idea of heaven...mine's quite similar to the one in the cartoon tom and jerry....when it's high up above the clouds where u can actually walk on...and you have to like get interviewed at a platform...but i don't really quite agree with that part...cuz when you fail the interview...you will get hurled down straight to hell...i think the decisions should have been made before you are 'sent' to heaven or hell... anyway, the cartoon's damn funny....hahah...no doubt...so...in a nutshell...great book..mitch sure has some flair for such mind provoking writings...
saw a movie today...proof...starring Gwyneth parltrow and Jake Gyllenhaal....really inspring...parltrow's a devoted daughter who has come to face the death of her father, a brilliant mathematician whose genius was crippled by mental insanity...then there's a little suspense as to who actually found the proof... the movie really insprired me.... my love for maths grew even deeper now..hahha....just wish i can come up with my own devised proof or formulae...that will be the greatest appreaciation ever....but i am just too tiny an entity in the ever prodigious mathematical field...haha...
got loads of homework...but since i am still inspired...here i come, hyperbolic functions!! haha
