Recently my wife, Anu got the following book from the library. I had the chance to read few chapters from the book and it was very interesting reading.
The book explores the stories of the books that changed the lives of some of the notable people.
This prompted me to share with all of you the books/writings (crux of this blog) which have influenced me in my life and more importantly explore from my friends and family and know what have influenced them. This way, not only I would know what books/writings shaped your lives but more imprtantly help me know all of you better. It would be a priviledge if you share your experiences with me.

My humble attempt and musing to grow up and hopefully be a better human being during this life time. I plan to share some of the books, writings, poems that have helped me grow up so far. Of course the journey continues till the last day. I would love to hear from the readers which books, writings, poems, anything else which have influenced them in their lives. ~~ I get lots of nice "forwarded" emails. The blog also serves as collecting pot of these selected stories & writings.
