Sachin=GOD Posted February 28, 2012 Posted February 28, 2012 Read Lucknow Boy: the memoir of Vinod Mehta. It was a refreshingly candid book. Only thing thing I didn't like was that it the later part of the book the author gets into a sort of diatribe against the NDA Govt buts doesn't say much against UPA 1 & 2. Currently reading Chankaya's Chant. Its been on every Indian bestseller list for a long time and was highly recommended by many people so I finally picked it up. There are 2 stories running in the book - one about Chanakya and other about Pandit Ganagasagar Mishra. The story about Chanakya is well written but the one about Gangasagar NIshra is so improbable that its almost childish.

MonishaSarabhai Posted April 11, 2012 Posted April 11, 2012 The Japanese Wife by Kunal Basu. Interesting. They made a movie out of the first story too (Rahul Bose, etc).
flamy Posted April 11, 2012 Posted April 11, 2012 Deeply grateful to Robert Bly for the Golden Book - Iron John. Cannot quantify the value this book holds for me. In the man's heart, there is a low string that makes his whole chest tremble when the qualities of the masculine are spoken of in the right way
