Rating: 5 out of 5
Date: 06 20, 2013
I love reading memoirs. Totally different from biographies, memoirs bring things back to memory in a vivid manner. This book came into my hands as I have been working on my memoirs, and therefore I read it with additional interest to see if I can glean insights about how to write an absorbing memoir. I was not disappointed.The author studied for his MBA in one of the best institutions in India. Such a great institution trained and prepared him well. At the same time, this training opened his eyes to the fact that MBA is not about money, blazer, and arrogance.The memoir reads like a story. I felt as though I were watching a movie of his life. I repeatedly went back to my own post-graduate studies at a center of excellence in India. This back and forth journey helped me to visualize the author's experience vividly.If students from many more professional institutions write their memoirs, and if these are read by a wide range of students and potential students, it would make a radical difference in the world of education. Many would not opt for the subject they had been dreaming. Others would opt for subjects they never thought would interest them. There will be many other kinds of outcomes.Observations:*** Lucidly writtenI love reading memoirs. Totally different from biographies, memoirs bring things back to memory in a vivid manner.
