Just concluded reading ‘Barack Obama- Dreams from my father’. It is a good and inspiring read. I would admit this book has made a profound impact on me. I have always been a dreamy person, always dreaming about acquiring higher responsibilities, doing something for society, making others life a little better and doing my own little bit for the society etc. etc. Dreams are easy to make but when it comes to implementation everything looks difficult. I am in an age where it is ‘now or never’, either I will do it or don’t. At this juncture I read this book which made my difficulties look minuscule; Barack’s challenges were far greater than ours. If he can do it, why can’t we?
Barack Obama’s narration of his college days, his confusion about his roots and his visit to native place in Kenya is extraordinary. Overall it is a good book but I am afraid for those who have little interest in him or his ascent may not like it. It is a non fictional, autobiographical sort of book, priced around Rs. 400 in India.

Started reading “Stay Hungry, Stay Foolish by Rashmi Bansal” on recommendation of Balraj, one of my closest friends. It is the inspiring stories of 25 IIMA entrepreneurs who chose to tread their own path. Balraj himself being a budding entrepreneur in Chandigarh, has recommended this book to me. Let’s see…how I feel about it…………I will keep you updated.
