Good read is Good Food!

Good read is good food.

People and me know myself as a foodie and not as a profound reader. Last week was amazing. Got to read a lot of good atuff.

1. Marx
Got introduced to various ‘-isms’ and Marx was impressive. He says about class conscious. And its so very applicable today as well. Although he was widely interpreted by various brains and non-brains all across the globe. I just felt (no brains here) ‘class’ (with due apologies to the great thinker)has so much a different connotation in today’s applicable. Today class is not based only on financial criterion. Today geographical factor inter alia plays a vital role. Urban rural divide is one illustration. Among each of the same, specifically to India, creed, caste have their share. Such classification is endless, but isn’t that set to give birth to many –isms in future?

2. Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin
This is the guy! Gr8 ups and downs since childhood. Overcame all adversities. And touched as many subjects ranging from science, polity to marketing.

3. Fantabulous article regarding Meaning of life.
“Inner Voice“ in HT had this one on meaning of life. The article took through lanes of memories, what been done in life and for what in life? Simply put, article said value life and do good. And for the same the Author asked to imagine a place that one goes to feel calmness and think about one’s life. One friend of the author told him that he visits GRAVEYARD. And flash! Me too got that! That’s the place which tells us to be on the correct path irrespective of anything. And also teaches us to value each moment of valuable life.

Finally, all read provoked my thinking and made it worth. So I now commit myself to good read!
