TB#04 : the Monk

 “It’s not what you get out of the books that is so enriching – it is what the books will get out of you that will ultimately change your life. You see John, books do not actually teach you anything new.” - Julian

There are fictions. There are self-help books. And then there’s this one - although categorized as a self help but lying in the intersection of both.


An inspiring tale providing a step-by-step approach to a life of balance, full of positivity and joy.

Discover Your Destiny with the Monk Who Sold His Ferrari: The 7 Stages of Self-Awakening

This book is the story of Julian Mantle, a super rich and famous lawyer for the world outside but blinded by an illusionary vision of success on the inside. It is about his “personal odyssey of the self” and the extraordinary transformation that he undergoes. Having attained enlightenment from the ‘Great Sages of Sivana’, he returns as a monk and forwards the wisdom to his old friend (John) as the seven timeless virtues of enlightened living, all of which have been described in the book as simplified symbols.

All the elements are spun in a story which is bound to fascinate you when you go from page to page.

The uniqueness of this book is that all the lessons have been woven into a fable so fine-drawn that you end up consuming it wholly without having boredom or distraction ruin the taste.

If you want to kick-start reading self-helps, this is the perfect book to be first in that list. Even if you want to switch from fiction and still not ‘feel’ the transition, this is the one you've been looking for.

Of monsoon, love and freedom (Chapter 2)

Kaleidoscopic Kozhikode I can bet if you’re not from southernmost India, you can’t pronounce this name correctly. I took utter caution to train my tongue to adjust to it before I myself adjusted to the city. Pertaining to simplicity, let’s address it by the anglicized version of “Calicut” . The explorer inside me started maturing since the day we discovered a cascade while squandering outside the institute campus. My fellow rambler, Thakur was forced to sneak through someone’s private property behind me and so, that was the origination! 14 th May : Long time, finally sea! On the fourth day and first Saturday we dropped here, headed to what I assume the life and blood of this coastal city- the Kozhikode beach . As we neared, the anticipation started engulfing me as if I was finally going to meet that partner, I’ve been in a long-distance relationship with . The sea with its vastness opens up to you with outspread arms and all you wanna do is run to it and get enveloped within t...

Of monsoon, love and freedom (Chapter 5)

Staying in a single place for so long offers you a chance to closely observe the livelihood of the natives and practically acknowledge diversity as a bridge that segregates YET links our cultures and unites us as a nation. Kerala is one of those states which is inhabited by less mortals, but abundance of nature. The colour of green is splashed from the palate of the creator and mother earth has merrily submerged and surrendered herself to it . I would love to allocate a long vacation at some probable point of time in my life to squander around the state and re-plug to the part of my heart I’ve lost there. Finally, you would be reading none of this now and I will not be revisiting this after years if I hadn’t come across one person – Mrs. Lyla B. Das ma’am ; our much esteemed, highly acclaimed and deeply endeared faculty in-charge. The woman has lived such an illustrious career and had an exceptional influence on the existence of hundreds of her students, of which I was fortunate enou...

Of monsoon, love and freedom (Chapter 4)

  4 th June : Beypore beach Back in Calicut, on an unusually bright sunny Saturday, Thakur and I set out to Beypore 32 kms south dressed up in beachwear. The Beypore port is one of the oldest ports of Kerala and only the second biggest after Cochin. The beach is sidelined by huts of local fishermen and their families and scattered with stalls of snacks and eatables bustling with visitors by the evening. As the beaming noon started mutating into a balmy evening, we trooped through around a kilometer and half of the pulimuttu, a walkway stretching to the sea. After a couple of minutes, while Thakur was turning impatient and wanted to turn back around and return, I stressed on holding back up until the sunset. Throughout the complete journey, I had this silent undertaking of not leaving anything I desired for later to regret . Well, the vista of the sun disappearing into the horizon is a seascape you cannot miss for anything whatsoever. Afterwards, Babloo on my request added ...
