Autobiography

486319


My absolute favourite book of all time! I have read this book over and over again, throughout the years. Mr Iacocca's passion for his work and his confidence leaps out of the pages. Besides being a corporate story, this is also a story about an immigrant Italian kid coming from small town America making it big through hard work. An inspiring for those who are interested in managerial skills. A detailed description of how even a minor mistake or even an insecurity that your boss feels might turn out to be very costly is highlighted. Importance of family, learning from superiors, Commitment, intuition, change of your own perspectives when you face altogether a different scenarios and a lot more of important lessons for all the budding managers.  Lee Iacocca, the leader of Ford when the classic Mustang came out. After a long stay at Ford, he was ousted and went to Chrysler and saved it from bankruptcy into a thriving competitor against GM and Ford. I was especially entertained by his stories of Henry Ford II, the details of how he saved/turned-around Chrysler, and his step-by-step recollection of how cars are conceptualized, researched, designed, manufactured and sold. Great read and I'm thankful to Lee for making it an easy-to-read book and played like an adventure story. It’s defiantly a bible for all management students.

The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho

This year this is my first book and what a way to start really...... A Spanish shepherd boy Santiago has these recurring dreams about a treasure hidden at the foot of the Egyptian pyramids. He leaves Spain to find it and journeys to the markets of Tangiers and across the Egyptian desert, guided along the way by a camel driver, an alchemist and other spiritual guides, and he discovers a far greater treasure (greater than any earthly gold): wisdom, self knowledge and enlightenment. Though the Alchemist is not about Santiago at all. It's an inspirational fable; it's about our own self discovery; it's about awakening your passions; it's about following your heart; embracing life as a journey and finding the courage to chase your dreams. This book is very inspiring and what I really need right now to motivate myself with my everyday endeavours. In the end the boy in the story who was searching for his treasure, despite the long travels and experiences, find his t...

Can you fall in love with someone you've never met? The Lunch Box.

Now that's what I call something out of the box or rather "Lunchbox." In the current age of Indian cinema where Gen-X kind of love stories are the spice of the season, "The Lunchbox" seems to be a story with a difference, which can definitely leave you under the mesmerizing spell of awe. And why I am calling,"The Lunchbox", a story with a difference, because in the era where emails, instant messaging and numerous other social media platforms are considered to be the backbone of romanticism, the author, Ritiesh Batra has tried his hands on something entirely unimaginable, "a lunchbox", where scribble notes placed in the lunchbox emerge as a mean of communication between two strangers who just have three things in common, "desolation, loneliness and a need for love". To some of the gen-next cine buffs the idea may seem something outdated and stodgy, but it's this simplicity of the movie which envelops your "heart and b...
