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...
2. 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. Eventhough i paid 25$ for this book, worth reading.
3. Open My Eyes, Open My Soul : Celebrating Our Common Humanity
It is a collection of stories( more than stories it is experiences) written by prominent figures from diverse community in the world. Notable writers include Muhammad Ali and Robert kennedy.Jr.
Compiler by Yolanda King and Elodia Tate.
4. All The Best, George Bush: My Life and Other Writings
Collection of letters written by George Bush throughout his life. The collection includes letters written to parents and Barbara bush during World War II, about his ambassadorship to
the U. N., his service as an envoy in China, his tenure with the Central Intelligence Agency, and of course, the vice presidency, the presidency, and the post-presidency. Just started reading. Seems to be interesting.
I got the books 3 and 4 for just 1$ each from Dollarama, Ottawa.

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).
