Read, Read & Read…

I have started again reading a lot. I recently read “The Diary of A Young Girl” – Anne Frank. Apart from other things, I liked that the girl was honest in expressing that she liked her father more than the mother. And she wanted her father to listen to her and not being judgmental. Sometimes her father asked her to shut up. And she was very frustrated with that. She just wanted her to listen. This thing also forced me to think whether I have the quality of patiently listening and I found myself short on that. Sometimes, I should just listen so that other person can vent his/her feeling.


The other book which I have started reading is “The Life of Mahatma Gandhi”. I was really feeling low with general routines of life. This book has calming effect on me. On a lighter side, in initial years he looked as human as us :-)
