Hi folks,

I am writing this review coz all the other reivews leave a gap about the Book.

Well let us ask a very basic question..what is the book all about?

Is it about Maria-
a woman who had seen and faced adversities of life?
Is it about finding happiness-which is individualistic in nature -for Maria it was true love?
Is it on how people see and live through a journey called life?

I believe that none of the above reflects the absolute sense on the object of the book.
Its about interpreting and living your life which is limited to the inadequate understanding, each one of us have .

It grapples to the question each one of us asks -Who I am, Am I doing what I am destined to do.. and who gets to decide my destiny--is it me or the world.

It tries to explore the above maladies of life through the life of Maria-a hooker. I guess none other than a prostitute would have been a better example coz she is the person who has her body and mind trampled time and again...but still has the hope of finding some one who could make her beautiful all over once again and fill here with innonence which she once had..

Arent we all trying to do that.. at various points of our life??
Arent we trying to shrug away our tensions and woes and seek something so beautiful who could take away the pain make you childlike again?

Arent we looking for true love, loads of money, power to ease away the burden of live that each one has to carry?

This book is about my friends.. and I am glad that someone has taken the trouble of writing about something which can be found in each of the human beings alive in this world today.

Eleven minutes is a source of inspiration to me... to discover and keep on discovering yourself untill you find the penultimate solution..

Thanks

Ciao

Amit
