Gandhi’s autobiography “My experiments with truth” was something for which I was craving since long time. Recently when I was in book store I purchased one (earlier it was out of stock). It was just 30 bucks. Where no decent books comes with a price tag of 100 /-, getting this for 30/- was a big surprise to me!!!
This is the first time I’m impressed by someone’s autobiography. I did read about three of them Helen Killer the Story Of my Life, Bill Clinton’s My Life and Hitler’s Mein Kampf but this book needs no comments and compliments. A true autobiography in every sense.
Helen where she fights against all odds and be successful, Bill Clinton , how he turns from a normal boy to President of the strongest nation, and Hitler – his ideologies’ and desires (somehow I wasn’t ever convinced with him ). Everyone had a story , but Gandhi wrote Truth about each and every thought in his mind. Be it when he was sacred , be it when he was cribbing or be it when he was feeling lusty.
A book worth to read!!!!
Keep Faith

ReplyDeleteI always crack up when I hear about Gandhi being lusty :P
ReplyDeleteThats why I love Gandhi!
ReplyDelete**but Gandhi wrote Truth about each and every thought in his mind. Be it when he was sacred , be it when he was cribbing or be it when he was feeling lusty.
