Book Review: Titik Nol


Finally, I am finished reading this book after about 2.5 months. I think it's a quite excellent book. This travelling book didn't only show me how magnificient and gorgeous The Himalayas , Amu Darya, Kashmir, etc. and the facts of culture, social politic conflicts, poverties in some countries which I haven't ever known exactly before, namely India, Pakistan, Afghanistan. But also Mr. Agustinus wanted to dig the deepest meaning of life as a journey. Plus, there are some great colorful photos taken by him in some pages of this book.

In my opinion, Mr. Agustinus Wibowo has successfully combined the various unique 'tastes' from his experiences as a wanderer in a journey to some 'difficult zones' in the world and as a wanderer in a journey of life. He linked all the valuable meanings in those journeys to learn to see the world outside, also to learn to see inside himself. His interactions with many local people around the world gave him many valuable meanings to see outside. His relationship with his beloved Mom gave him many valuable meanings to see inside himself. He wrote that everyone has his/her own journey, but the one similar thing is everyone goes from zero point, then will be back to the zero point. Everyone goes far and far just to come back. Home, where he had to come back to accompany his Mom in her funeral day... 

Mr. Agustinus took the reader to feel detailly his emotions as a man, a son, a friend, a guest, a stranger, a dreamer, and a fighter. Every time reading every page of this book, I feel like a friend who like to listen to another friend's story from the deepest part of his heart.
