I am reading this book currently, wella, its been a while now. It is well written, simple and enjoyable. I am not used to dissecting a book more than this except for "Wuthering Heights" and "Great Expectations" which were part of School curriculum :)
Well, I got hold of this book from the book reading by the author in Crosswords, and the author gave me an autographed copy and one of the special moments when the moment gets onto me and I come up with seemingly Dumb questions ;) not that bad ....
Well, this book talks about the life and aspirations of an average educated middle class family based out of Delhi. The characters and the events and the emotions are ones which can an average or educated or middle class or delhite can connect to. You can draw parallels too when you try and recollect old buddies from school and the like. the best part being it does not tickle your grey cells much nor does it give your brain much work. :D

Out of my comfort zone.........
Steve Waugh's Autobiography... A must read for all cricket enthusiasts....
Truly inspiring!! The book runs through his cricketing years on and off the field. A lot of insights to the Aussie outlook to the game. I really liked his scribbles on India.
This book elevated my respect for this cricketer and an admiration for him.
I have always been ticked on by what goes on "Behind the Scenes" be it cricket, bollywood not movies in particular, people and so on.
Well Steve's admiration for India is dealt to the detail in his work. His travel around the subcontinent. I try and emulate him while I travel, rather than sit in the confines of my hotel lobby or a pub, I would venture out and get to search the spirit and soul of the place and people I am in. His take on the Indian cricketing side and his reasoning for their attitude and approach to the game are stunning and reveals the indepth analysis the Aussies does before they take to the field.
He throws light to the team meetings before crucial matches that his team played.
Quite an interesting read. And a good gift to anyone who embodies a leadership spirit within!!!
