Hello Learners, The Day 2 of quarantine was spend in reading a wonderful by a Turkish writer Elif Shafak “The Forty Rules of Love”. Before you misinterpret it as a love story let me clear the plot and purpose. “The Forty Rules of Love” has a parallel narrative. Both are interconnected. One tells a contemporary story of Ella whose life is filled with emptiness. She starts reading a manuscript named “Sweet Blasphemy” written by Aziz.Z.Zahara for a literary agency. The other is the story which lies in that manuscript. The story of a Sufi poet Rumi and Shamz of Tabriz, where he shares the forty rules of love and life. The narration involves the travel of Shams through which he gets to know Rumi and how Shams imparts his knowledge. The Forty rules embarked the spiritual journey of Rumi and also his companionship with his preacher Shamz. Here the forty rules helps Ella to find purpose of her life and fills life with happiness and meaning. She also finds a friend Aziz.Z.Zahar
