I नसीरुद्दीन शाह आणि मग एक दिवस - सई परांजपे I Naseeruddin Shah is considered one of the finest actors of our time & my favorite too ( Obviously- A Wednesday ). So i have picked up this translated autobiography of him. In this lucid book he reveals that how hard it was of him to become actor in those times where it was not appropriate career choice considering his strict father who happens to be government servant. He was very poor at studies but very good at cricket & rehearsing long paragraphs of plays so he become star in school & college scene.Then even after against everyone in his family he took admission in NSD & then FTII.

I Steve Jobs by Walter Isaacson I This is the book i read several years ago but its one of the very few books which had profound effect on me as person & if you read it will surely have it on you. Hence i recommend it to everyone read it once & re-read at least every year. Steve Jobs was prickly,tricky & most contradictory kind of person but the company which he started from his parent's garage became worlds biggest & most valuable company. He did that by selling most mater ialistic & costliest products of our time but he himself was way away from all the materialistic things i mean no furniture in home (literally, as if people visited his home they have to sit on floor to discuss the matter with him) no extravagant clothes & cars to show off (same dress Turtle neck & blue jeans for all days )as he was extreme Minimalist.  But he is the most iconic & innovative persons of our times.Checkout any recent start up stories of the founders in...
