Growing Up in Life - Manish A. Desai's Blog

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.
