Finishing off Paulo Coelho's Eleven minutes

I (i am having a temptation to add finally here)finished reading Eleven minutes .Another book of Paulo Coelho which failed to disappoint me.When in the bookshop ,i always try to resist the temptation to buy books by Paulo Coelho.it's his uniqueness which drives me to do so.If he is so unique and can utter so much good,why not try someone else to discover their unique point of views.
While reading this book ,sometimes i felt like i am taxing my daily routine more thatn i should .But somehow this guilt doesnt seem to be plaguing me too much .I always manage to quash it.
Next read: The Prophet by Khalil Jibran(...Dont be amazed now i still havent read it.) ...

In By the River Piedera i sat and wept,the part about the "The other ",the church episode and the glass-dropping scene at the end of novel were inspiring.

And why are you getting back to "the Valkyries".Is it so good?

i was mesmerised by the starting para- the prologue of "River Piedera"...To tell u the truth, my attention nosedived in the "Valkeries' and i abandoned it in the mid for no reason apart from that i was feeling stuck up. Since i don't leave books half-way so i ll get back to it and finish it up. Have jst started Carol Shield's "Stone Diaries"

Ambreen ,your comments about The Valyries are a relief to me.Atleast there is one novel of paulo Coelho thta i can skip.
As fir Stone Diaries i hope you enjoy this pulitzer prize winning story which follows a girl throughout her life.

I have read not only read The Alchemist many times i've reviewed it on a radio show too.
My guitaring is on a lull again.I have seemingly unsurmountable problems mastering strumming pattern.After my mids i plan to take on guitaring aggressively again but i am also thinking of working in a call center.If i go ahead with that my guitaring would suffer,but i'll earn good money to learn guitaring from best guitarists of pakistan.

If you were to practice this strumming on a daily basis for only 20 minutes a day, 5 days a week, it would make a big difference and improvement to your playing. Can't u fit in both around the same time? ie the call-center and the guitar?

If u want to make progress on the guitar this is a far better way to aproach it than waiting to get the money together for lessons, no matter how good the teacher is - honestly :). Good luck with it anyway - D.

Thank you so much.I'll definitely practice this strumming exercise .By strumming exercises i mean the ones involving different strummings of 4 beats, 3 beats etc on common chord progressions.
Like I'll start with the three downstrums and a single upstrums on four beats in the GCD chord progression.
I spend almost eight ours in university everyday.With an another eight hour call center job,I'll be left with no time to do anything else.

Hey that's 8 hours in Uni, 8 in the call center, that leaves another 8 hours in the day to practice ... well ok I suppose not, we all need our zzz's :) ...
