A Quest Called Life


The Greatest Loss

The greatest loss is not when you lose a job, Lose a loved one, Lose a match, Lose out on that important contract that could have changed your life, Lose a game of lottery, In fact, the greatest loss is when you lose your dignity, Lose your self-respect, Lose your values to fit into the society, Be unique. Be different, Because there never was and will never be anyone like you.


A Quest Called Life is a short breeze read. It takes maximum of an hour and leave you with a pleasant smile. The book covers vivid life experiences narrated through poem. The language is simple yet the poems leave a casting spell on its readers. I usually read poems after a few fictional reads to change my reading like and mood. Quest called life dealt with some of the phase of life with utmost ease and lyrical satisfaction. Loved the writers take and stance on multiple occasions. He metamorphically compare experiences with object in personified way. For instance  "The first laughter, Like the pleasant sound of a waterfall. As a new day dawned upon, A new star was born." Such phrases are soothing to read and helps it readers to transcend in lyrically modified world. The writer covers various important and relevant issues in one's life such as from first love to heart break. From achieving success to scumbling to failure and yet he manages to be positive every time. He also talks about people who are important in our life's and about first life experiences such as travel and happiness. It was overall a good read and left me overwhelmed. Leaving you with a passage in the end. 


PositiviTEA: Take a bowl of emptiness, Add a cup of clear ideas, Sprinkle the powder of joy, Add the bitterness of your obstacles, Pour a cup of peace, Add the sweetness of your memories, Let it simmer away till all the flavors combine, And voila! A strong PoistiviTEA is ready to make you fresh as a blossoming flower.
