A New Diary Part 2


A NEW DIARY Part 2


            Ever wondered why time travel movies are fun ? Back to the future , Predestination , The Time machine, what makes them special What is that intriguing thing that makes the Prisoner of Azkaban , the most critically acclaimed movie of the Wizarding World franchise and why do you guys were crazy about endgame ! Well if you haven`t guessed it , yeah you have, it`s not Dora ,the Explorer ! In Makoto Shinkai`s movie your name ,there is a quote about time ; "They twist, tangle, sometimes unravel, break, and then connect again. Musubi - knotting. That's time." So the thing`s time , and may be with Anne and Barbro , they did connect .

            Well if I say my parents that I am the reincarnation of a famous historical character like say , John Lennon , then they will say that they are batman and supergirl ! And that`s what Barbro`s parents said, that it`s good to be imaginative and creative but that never foreseeks to exempt someone from the real world . Well infact , they indeed took her to a psychiatrist who told them that their daughter is fine and the world she`s talking about, it`s all made up . Much like the grandma tales kids say. But the doctor`s statement wasn`t enough to clarify the strange feeling Barbro was deailng with while growing up , to her it was like two lifes in one which pushed her to an introvert.

            At the age of seven, she started school. She was so pleased to realize that now she could read and write. She secretly started to write down her memories, but she always threw the papers away so that others would not be able to read them. One thing people would find strange is Barbro actually didn`t know that Anne Frank did exist ! And that turned down the possibilities of any dissociative identity disorder(DID) or any other disorder related to brain or psychiatry.She came to know , I would say with more transparency ,when she joined school. By that time she had published her first book Människan på jorden (Man on Earth) after a friend of her advised to do so.

           When she was 10, she went for a vacation to Europe and visited Amsterdam with her parents. Her parents who were as eager as you guys are now, to check the authenticity of Barbro`s hallucinations, decided to go to Ms Frank`s home. Barbro was reluctant to take a cab,and insisted to guide her parents walk to the abode she resided with 7 people,family and many other allies, THE SECRET ANNEXE.



                                        

             Barbro`s dream was coming out alive. The atmosphere carried a fragrance of nostalgia , as the door to Anne`s room turned upon its hinges. Barbro was terrified, the pictures of her family and the hollywood stars she stuck on the wall the very first day they came to hiding, were missing. She turned feint,and her parents futile. Barbro insisted on having the pictures, and it was only after reconfirmation that her parents believed that it was true,both the pictures and their daughter`s dreams.


                                 


          Barbro ,through her publisher, met Buddy Elias , Anne Frank`s cousin. The emotional reunion of Buddy and Barbro was filled with the colours of laughters,tears and memories. When the newspapers asked him, ‘Do you believe that Barbo is the reincarnation of Anne Frank’?He answered ‘Yes’.

                                 

         No matter , whether she was Anne`s reincarnation or not , Barbro who was a childhood literary sensation in her country was a victim of discrimination, personal vendettas, media assassination, libel, and attempted murder. She prompted the events that culminated in her struggle for survival in her book And the Wolves Howled .

                                                        

                   Barbro`s life was full of sharp gradients and turns . And if asked personally , I would say that her claims and the proofs were promising, because, yeah , there`s no answer to everything. If you want to know more about Barbro , then do visit her website .
