Da Vinci Code

I started reading the Da Vinci Code last night at the Zurich airport as we lived through a real life but almost reel-like stranded wait. The book is really good. Insights into some true mysterious things about Leonardo's paintings and their true hidden meanings. Like did u know that monal lisa might not even be a girl? She is actually androgenous and her name is derived from Amon and Isis. I have a feeling I had read this sometime, but the details provided in this book are interesting to say the least.

More so enjoyable because I have been to Louvre, and yeah the setting is in the same museum :) Also mentions are made of paintings in the National Art Gallery of UK. So perhaps after I finish reading the book I will re-visit some paintings to see what they really mean!

In fact since quite a few years I have toyed with the idea of getting to understand paintings. Oh forgot that the book revolves around 'symbolism'. Just talking about it makes me wanna go finish the book now! What fun it is to come to terms with otherwise esoteric things!

Remember walks through Jehangir Art Gallery, pretending to appreciate art when all I really appreciated was perhaps the colour combination or whatever is most apparent to my eyes & brain!

Btw just to make a note... a great start to a writing career can be made if you have specialist knowledge of any one area. Sadly I've always been a Jack of all trades and master of none...or should it be Jill? ;)

Signing off...
