The unbearable...

The unbearable lightness of being..

I can literally feel the weight of this statement. So heavy and depressing that I dared not to even read the gist of this book. How long can you avoid what eventually should happen.

A short conversation with H on this and now I want to read this. An excerpt from this book will give you a glimpse of what you can possibly expect from this.

"Anyone whose goal is something higher must expect some day to suffer vertigo. What is vertigo ? Fear of falling ? No, vertigo is something other than the fear of falling. It is the voice of the emptiness below us which tempts and lures us, it is the desire to fall, against which, terrified, we defend ourselves."

There is a movie by the same name. The plot sounds zara hatke..but maybe worth a watch.
