I am currently reading the book “Eat, pray, love” by Elizabeth Gilbert. I am extremely delighted to read in the newspapers that a film is being made with Julia Roberts on this book. I think she is an excellent choice for this particular role.

My close friend had recommended this book to me and I am thankful that I bought it! It’s a beautiful book about the discovery of the self spanning a full year of travelling to three countries – Italy, India and Indonesia…

Every woman can identify with the thoughts, emotions and the life situations the author has gone through. She is unique (as all of us are and never realise!) and has a way with words such that the narration evokes visuals with ease and panache. There is something very wholesome and charming about the way she has sketched the journey of her life till the point of divorce, the painful space of going through the divorce, the decision to travel for a year to the three countries to heal herself, the experiences she has in each of these countries and how she connects with herself in the course of this entire quest…

What has appealed to me is the risk taking ability of this lady to travel the path less travelled and the quality of playful honesty with which she has shared her innermost turmoils and triumphs. She has explored the corporeal and spiritual realities with equal élan and passion! I hope lots of people would relish this feast as much as I am relishing it now!!! Bon appetite!
