Some extraordinary books - "Annihilation of Caste" was an eye opener. "Confessions of a Thug" is one of the most extraordinary books I have ever read. "The Dirge of the Dammed" was brilliant. "Tao of Abundance" changed my outlook to abundance and money. "The Richest Man in Babylon" was a great guide. "Whale Done" was an eye opener to personal relationships. Classics apart, "Ogilvy on Advertising" taught much about communication and advertising.
Three writer friends wrote fine books - "Idris" by Anita Nair, "The Americans" by Chitra Viraraghavan and "The Final Test" by Dilip D' Souza. More to come.
