Today i finshed reading the book 'CHINDIA - How China and India Are Revolutionising Global Business'. This is a collection of Essays about how CHINA and INDIA are reshaping the world and global business. It was really a interesting reading.

After coming onsite, i read very less number of books. In the past 4 months i read 3 books and today i started reading one new one. Just wanted to make a note of these books here.

1. Complications - A Surgeon's Note on an Imperfect Science

It is a look at the medical profession from the inside -- written by surgical resident Atul Gawande, it is a frank, thought-provoking commentary on what happens when fallible human beings do a job that requires infallibility. In its chapters, he reveals that doctors make mistakes more often than most of us think -- and that while there are bad doctors, the more usual case is the good doctor having a bad day, or the problem for which all the training in the world would not have been enough...

CHINDIA - How China and India Are Revolutionising Global Business

Watched Taare Zameen Par last week

As usual, here also i am too late..I got good reviews about this film from my friends from the releasing day itself. But last week only i could able to watch it. Really nice one..!! A must watch for all parents, who wants to see their son, daughter as engineer, doctor, IAS officer..at any cost.

Thanks Cijo for giving the download link. Aamirkhan is one of my favorite in film industry. Not as a good actor. But he is a sensible producer, director. His films will be somehow different from the usual Hindi film subjects.

Aamir again proves that "Even an unusual story can be told in an interesting manner to the taste of the multitudes". Really a low budget film. But he could able to attract the film lovers to theatres with his own way of film making. Hats off to Aamir Khan..!!

And watch this film in your free time (if you did not watch it till now).

Me too started a personal blog

I am too late to start blogging about my life. But "Better late than never"...correct?
I was having habit of writing diary sometime back. But in this world of intenet it is better to scrap it here ..in blog. I am starting this blog with that aim. Later in life, it will be nice to read about our thoughts, feelings, experiences, imaginations in past..And my friends can read about happenings in my life here. Sending mail to everyone is not easy. So, i will try to update my blog atleast once in a week. So, read more in the coming days..
