This has become one of my favorite books, as has the author. The story imparts values that need to be instilled in young minds and keeps you hooked till the end. If you find yourself in a low phase of life, this book is for you. Here’s some wisdom from it:
“When people become obstacles to your dreams, tell yourself that they have come to help you, and witness the change.”
Heroes and legends are those who build powerful teams.
This book opened new avenues and perspectives in my life, and it will do the same for you.

Hhhhmmm….how nice of you to share these books?! I would love to start with “The reluctant doctor”. Sounds very intriguing since doctors are never that way.
Joy Ride looks really interesting and I love that it’s short stories. It’s hard to find time to read novels at this time of year!
I’d really love to give Joy Ride a read. I’m a fan of short stories because they’re easy to digest without a big commitment.
These all sound like some awesome books! I’ll add them to my list. I read a lot during the holiday break.
Of all the books, Joyride appeals the most to me.. Plus, on a sidenote, my paternal grandpa wanted to name me Kamakshi actually (that is actually my traditional – not official – name!)
These reads indeed bring joy and diverse perspectives to any bookworm’s month. I’d say enjoy reading
