Heartwarming story!

March 27th, 2006  |  Published in Living  |  6 Comments

Have you folks read or watched ‘Mes­sage in a Bot­tle’? I loved the book and cried dol­lops watch­ing the movie. And unbe­liev­able as it was, you still tend to cling on to the fact that maybe these things hap­pen. Just as the pro­tag­o­nist of the novel sets out (even against everyone’s advice) to find the man whose mes­sage she found in the bot­tle, she is filled with a deter­mi­na­tion that can­not be explained.

It was with a sense of déjà vu that I lis­tened to Usha nar­rat­ing the story about what hap­pened to her. I could hardly believe it.

She had posted about a note she found inside a book some­where in 2004. Nearly a year later, she got a reply in the let­ter from the owner of the note, who had found her post on the Inter­net. Even more amaz­ing is that Usha, with her amaz­ing per­cep­tive­ness, was right about most of the things that she had sur­mised about the author (based on the note)!

Read it to believe it! Such sto­ries are rare but heart­warm­ing…

    Anita, Thanks. You know what the per­son for whom the thank you note was intended (Karen “karkar”)who owned the book heard the story from Julie and she also wrote to me today. :)

    Such a beau­ti­ful story! I can see Julie and Karen and the whole gang hav­ing a fan­tas­tic time at the bridal shower. I just had mine a few months ago, my friends were so won­der­ful arrang­ing all that for me. We all went to the beach to celebrate!

    Did you know that ‘Mes­sage in a bot­tle’ was an inspired-from-true-life story? The author took the idea from his dad’s life.. So sad.. It is still fic­tion, he says. For more on this, google, ‘mes­sage in a bot­tle why did he have to die’ as I did when I first saw the movie.

    Any­way, great blog! Keep writing.
