Say cheese !

This post may not go well with a few 'book lovers', but because I'm perfectly sure that only very few read my blog, I'm going ahead with my theory.

I have never believed in the so called self-help books, books that will tell you how to be successful, how to live your life, how to impress people and so on. Then, a few days before I read Who moved my cheese ? by Spencer Johnson and I realized just how true my belief is. I just can't understand the profound meaning which people claim the book conveys. For me it was just a plain dull book. May be I'm a plain dull fellow, but then I do have some company !

This is what I believe.

A truly inspiring book can come only from a truly inspiring personality. If you want a proof for this just read the autobiography of Gandhi. It surely is not an exciting book by conventional standards but then Gandhi's book brutally truthful. In every word of the book you can sense the truth and what's more, the book comes with an absolutely amazing price tag, 25 rupees ! For those who are still not convinced of buying this book, just download it from here !

A movie on Ramanujan ?

I happened to read a biography on Srinivasa Ramanujan, The man who knew Infinity. The book is simply brilliant. The amount of research that has gone into this book is just mind-boggling. I just wonder why his life has not been made into a movie till now (or has it been made already ?). Surely his life has enough drama for a hollywood blockbuster.

What great poetry !

This is Lewis Carroll at his very best. Enjoy !
