The Go-Giver: by Bob Burg and John David Mann This book is indeed a masterpiece. I request the readers of this book to carefully understand the text and apply the laws.  This book is a story of a guy named Joe, an ambitious young man who always wanted to make big, but was facing lot to impediments, and then he met the “Chairman” his Mentor, who changed his way of thinking and Joes' life changed for ever. Few quotable lines from the book: “Your true worth is determined by how much more you give in value than you take in payment"-this is the Law of Value: ”  “The key to effective giving is to stay open to receiving” Everyone must read this book. It contains certain important principles of business, friendship, and relationship. I must say this is one 10/10 book. Must read.  Cheers, Manish

A Hermit in the Himalayas: by Paul Brunton Yesterday, I concluded reading this book. Paul in this book is simply describing his experience of staying in Himalayan region of Tehri and other nearby places. Through this book author is trying to explain you yogi’s principle of staying alone in the state of meditation, rejuvenating oneself and then go back to the world and face it with all new strength and vigour.

These women came out to share their personal account of horrors of war, and wish this never ever happen again. After reading these forty stories, I now really know what “war” means and what it delivers….  We all must have read about war/military conflicts in newspapers or books but never ever have had a chance to read or listen personal account of people who had to face it day and night.   All these forty stories will definitely bring tears and a feeling of sadness. These are only forty selected stories of sufferings, but I am sure that there are so many similar stories around the world that never get reported or reach our ears.  I am sure lot many souls must be dying to share their stories of sufferings during p
