The Art of Dying by Osho
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

The book is a gray area drafting banalities between the real psychological approach to understanding living and the anxiety of dying and accepting it and the spiritual way of this acceptance. There are lots of points one can make that doesn't actually lead a person to a truly aware, and true acceptance of the "END" that lies in front of him, rather persuades in making a connection to the continuation through universal consciousness.

The Motorcycle Diaries: Notes on a Latin American Journey by Ernesto Che Guevara
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Before he became 'Che' he was a free spirit, and this book is a narration of not only an explorer or a student doctor but a free spirit who saw America in its truest colors. Reading this book is not only a visual journey along with Earnesto and Alberto and their good old Le Poderosa but a contemplation of a vast continent divided by borders, consumed by corporations exploited by administration yet the presence of an ether of unity amongst the spirit of people and their struggle. This book is the very reminder of his words-

“Let the world change you and you can change the world”

― Ernesto Che Guevara
