Wachal tar wachal !!!

Very lately, I developed a habit of reading the books quite regularly. Honestly, I even don’t remember any book other than ‘Shyamchi Aai’ & ‘Agnipankh’, which I have read in the past.
During the discussion on controversy of 3 Idiots based on Chetan Bhagat’s book, I heard about Rashmi Bansal, the young popular writer of India who also hails from IIM, Ahmedabad like Chetan Bhagat. My friend suggested me to read her popular books ‘Stay Hungry stay foolish’ & it’s sequel ‘Connect the Dots’. These 2 books really inspired me to look beyond stereotype routine of job, family responsibilities & meeting daily needs.

I choosed ‘Aamcha Baap ani aamhi’ by Dr. Narendra Jadhav, the great economist of India from next generation after Dr. Manmohan Singh & Mr. Monteksingh Ahluwalia. He also falicitated the post of Kulguru of Pune University recently. He has covered the truths of his previous 2 generations & his next generation in this book. This book tells the story of emerging commerce graduate of lower middle class family living in the chawl of Mumbai, who went on becoming the chief economist of Reserve bank of India. This book gives you convincing thought that; your background can not stop you from the success you deserve.

The most respected maharashtrian name in hoteling industry today is Mr. Vitthal Kamat. His autobiography ‘Idli, Orchid ani me’ is the story of his journey from small dish-washer boy upto becoming respected hotel-tycoon & his world acclaimed eco-friendly hotel ‘Orchid’. This autobiography put forward the fact that; there is no shortcut to success bypassing hardwork & dedication.

In tourism industry, the undisputed leader in Maharashtra today is ‘Kesari Tours & Travels’. It’s founder Mr. Kesari Patil writes about his life-story in his autobiography ‘Pravas pravasacha’. This school teacher from small village end-up making his part-time interest of summer holidays as his life-long interest. His company is now a family business in true sense, having his sons, daughters, sons-in-law & daughters-in-law as a pillar each of this business.

After autobiographies of these Maharashtrians, I just finished reading ‘Ek hota Carver’ by Vina Gavankar. This is the real-story of Orphan Nigro-boy in America who created his place as most respected Agro-scientist in America, on the levels of Henry Ford & Thomas Edison. Infact, he stands different from Ford & Edison, as his life philosophy was far from name, fame & money. He has done hundreds of inventions in the field of agriculture & shared it for free with poor farmers of north America. He truly made the transformation in the thinking of white American people towards black nigros & earned some self-respect for this community in the society.

Now, I am searching for book ‘Selective Memory’ on Shobha De, the rebel.

Well, getting the information only on sports, bollywood & politics is not going to make any difference in life. One must spare some time for quality reading. Reading the books really mould your thought-process better than any other way. And, last but not the least, I would like to stress that ‘Wachal tar wachal’.

Luv’N’Luck
