BOOKS

Have had the pleasure of getting and reading a lot of books over the last few weeks. Gurcharan Das's THE DIFFICULTY OF BEING GOOD, Capt. Gopinath's SIMPLY FLY and Indira Ganesan's two books on Mughal history have been splendid. 

 SIMPLY FLY is absolutely fascinating - a true example of one man with a mission. The way he uses the metaphor of marriage for business alliances, the meticulous planning he puts in into every venture and the human factors involved in it all make for very gripping reading.

 As for Gurcharan Das, he has been a favourite after India Unbound and this one takes me into the land of the Mahabharata, brings those characters and situations to close to everyday life that it explains so much that one goes through in life. Would recommend both to everyone.
