The Little Prince

I think everyone should have The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupery as part of their collection. If you haven’t read The Little Prince, then go to the nearest bookstore and buy it.


The story appeals not only for children. Adults have to read it and remember how they used to be.

The king who rules the entire universe, the drunkard, the business man, the fox, the snake, the rose and obviously, the little prince who has been wandering around to give you the unstoppable question about life.

“And no grown-up will ever understand how such a thing could be so important.”

No one belongs here more than you

I’ve been eyeing this book since I saw my friend Ashanti reading it.
Then, in the most unexpected way, I got this book as my Christmas present from my charming “enemy”.

Miranda July is a filmmaker, performing artist and writer. She directed, wrote and starred for film, Me and You and Everyone We Know.

This is a book of short stories by Miranda July, and I’d like to say that this is one of my favorite books right now. It’s about everyday people, doing ordinary life with extraordinary mind. This book is an honest book about people making their honest mistakes. It is odd, but yet enchanting.

I wouldn’t forget about The Swim Team. This story teaches me that although you don’t have the facility, you still have the ability to trust. To trust that you can learn anything you want through different forms.

These dreamy stories make me brave enough to imagine the alternate scenarios of my life. These stories are just too beautiful. Let your mind goes free, create the alternate scenarios from your current life. Well, we need to take a break for a while.

Thank you.

The Happy Prince


Last month, a good friend of mine came to visit me.
Indeed, it was extremely short visit, but the meaning was there.
It was great to see her after almost two years the miles separated us.
She brought a great present for me; The Happy Prince and Other Stories.

It’s been a long time since I read children’s books.
The pleasure’s there.
These fairy tales from Oscar Wilde make me believe that there is a good thing in life.
A good heart will always be comforting,
Sharing,
Caring,
And most importantly that life is good.

The Devoted Friend has made me realize that friendship is about take and give.
I’ve been thinking a lot about friendship; observing how people behave around me, contributing in love and hate relationship..
This book helped me to think in more positive ways.

Oh how I love fairy tales..
I’ve had enough Prince Charming and Princess stories,
I missed this kind of fairy tales.
A good heart,
Think about others,
You’re not alone..

If you,
By any chance is dropping by in this blog and having a terrible life at the moment,
Go to the nearest bookstore,
Find some children's books,
Read this kind of fairy tales (forget about those Cinderella’s stories).

These stories are overwhelming.
Read and enjoy those books, because life is good.

:D
