Life of Pi

I haven't blogged recently. I am aware. There are a lot of things going around my big bad-ass'd world. But there is one thing I really want to do. Watch Life of Pi. I read the reviews and they are mind bursting. The book is kickass, I just hope they don't add nonsensical bogus which will make the movie rot as fast as a banana. The book almost made me cry. It might be an ordinary story of a guy who is stranded in the middle of the Pacific with a Bengal tiger, but it's more than that. It's about his conquest and challenges; facing crisis and conflict; the survival of of man; the journey of life. I really liked the part where he opens the tortoise's shell and eats it. I hope they show it in the movie too. Although the movie doesn't release here until the second fortnight of December.

Pi Patel. Yann Martel absolutely deserves the Man Booker Prize for that book. It is a landmark in the heart of Books. It was the first book which thought me it is possible to follow all religions and yet not be critically criticized. Pi is the same as Ram Mohammed Thomas from Q&A (now infamous for Slumdog Millionaire) - follows all religions. All-together, Life of Pi is an amazing book, a must read book. It changed my opinion on a lot of things. I would read it again and again if it weren't my mother who took it and kept it in HER shelf. But I am still enthusiastic in reading Beatrice and Virgil.
