Inspired by a book...!!!

Before vacation i went to the novel section in the library of my college thinking that i might get some books to read in the train. I saw one book named "Wise & Othewise (A Salute to Life)" by Sudha Murthy.

I don't know why but by seeing a lady picture as the cover photo which was looking helpless, having no hope in life, waiting for someone who could actually help her, provoked me to read that book. Finally i issued that. In the train while going home, i started reading book because i found a better way to spend time.

I found that quite inspirational & heart-touching.
Inspirational because this book was a huge collection of small-small real stories which had been experienced/seen by Sudha Murthy.
May be i can highlight some of them:-

1. A man dumps his 70 year old father in an old-age home declaring him to be homeless stranger.
2. A sick woman remembers to thank her benefactor even as she is dying.
3. A tribal chief in the Sahyadri hills teaches the author that there is humility in receiving too.
4. An uneducated and untrained woman can be more confident and independent than an educated working woman.
5. A boy and a girl travelling in the flight same as the author, was unaware from the young queen of jhansi "Rani Laxmibai" and even they could not able to recognize her by seeing her statue with the horse.

There are many such stories in this book. Other important part of this book was in every story you will find some lesson to remember, to make that a part of your life.
As:-
Education is more than scoring good marks in exam or receiving certificates. Life is an exam where the syllabus is unknown and question papers are not set. There are various types of questions that can come from any direction, but one shouldn't run away.
Education and Financial independence are the tools that can help us face difficulties, but confidence must be developed throughout life.

Now let me go and finish rest of the stories.....:)
