God...

Recently had some thoughts about God (again!), and now I am wondering whether I am an atheist or not… The thought of someone being up there, willing to take the burden of your shoulders, is so comforting. That the weight of the world isn’t on your shoulders. Maybe that someone is luck, chance, probability, but it is still there. And putting your trust in that leaves you free to work carefree. Isn’t that the most important thing?

It isn't a conventional god, its my own, for my happiness!

Book Review: Old Man and his God

Last week was just amazing. With coffee plantations, elephants, deer and what not. I had been to Coorg... Club Mahindra just rocks. Am even considering joining M&M for the free employee membership! Awesome food! Ate twice of what I usually do...

As I happened to have some spare time on my hands, I was wandering around in their library. Spotted 'Old Man and his God'. Read it based on the loads of 'must read' recos I have received for it. :D First ever book my Mrs. Infosys that I read. Hopefully, first of many.

The forst thing you notice is the simple English. Simple, almost to the point of irritation. And although its so simple, lucid, it still conveys all the emotion behind it so well! The book is a collection of small anecdotes from her life. Some of the stories are really touching. As usual, won't go into any details..

Thats for you to read up!
