It is not easy for anyone humble person to list down the blessings or names of all those people who directly or indirectly shaped his/her life. Up to today’s stage of life whether one consider oneself successful or failed there were innumerable people who must have come in the life to teach something. They may have come to teach one how to live or teach one how not to live. They may come in the form of books, teachers, elders, opponents, coaches, mentors, parents, relatives, speakers, friends or even those to whom one do not like in the life; they all teach some thing. My life is not exceptional in this manner there are many. Because of my nature and style of living most of the time my teacher have been my books written by those to whom I regarded high in my life. So these phenomenal people came in my life in the form of books (audio, video, physical copy). Because of my memory I am not able to recollect all but trying to put name of some of the books here.
Many a times I think should I start writing books?, but then inner consciousness say that if I want to write book to influence other then it is not required because there have been many great Gurus and Acharya’s in the past and if I want to change the life of people then instead of writing my book and diluting the teaching I should offer one of those books of those gurus then my purpose will be served (those who know me closely knows that I love to gift books rather than any other stuff). But then another moment I think that I must write books to speak to myself so that I know how much I have changed, why I changed and who changed me this much. May be in future when I feel this need intensely I will try.
The order of the books listed below is not my order of reading or liking. It is random.
