“Happiness is something that multiplies when it is divided.”
– Paulo Coelho
Paulo Coelho, (born August 24, 1947) is a Brazilian lyricist and
novelist known for employing rich symbolism in his depictions of the often spiritually
motivated journeys taken by his characters. Coelho was raised in Rio de Janeiro. His
novel ‘The Alchemist’ was an international best seller.
So, I will be sharing interesting quotes by him every Tuesday which I am sure would help you read, write and reflect!
The time spent with family and friends is a source of happiness for all of us.
A festive season or birth or a wedding or maybe a get-together of old friends – these
moments are truly golden in our lives.
What is your haiku that you wrote celebrating such moments?
I have a poem coming to my mind:
cricket fever
the CEO talks batting order
with the peon
--- Quamrul Hassan
(From the book, Naad Anunaad)
Brazil vs Argentina —
dad's long debate
with his driver
puja pandal —
the loudspeakers play
a bollywood song
morning worship —
a cow decked in jewelleries
walks the lane
Vrindavan Holi —
a group of widows
play with colours
temple chariot festival
a new spring springs
in autumn
