Ever since I have come back from a holiday i seem to be forever asking questions😉 Do any of u like reading? And by reading I mean serious reading...not Page 3 and glossy magzines. I have a lot of free time at present...want books to read. I like reading auto/biographies. At present I am reading a book called 'The Polyester Prince - The Rise of Dhirubhai Ambani' This book is banned in India, but it really gives u an insight on how Dhirubhai worked. Let me know of any other good books to read.

welll....dunno bout biographies..but maybe u'll enjoy "the da vinci code"... its really good..i recently read it.. or maybe books by ayn rand.

if u like emotional books but fictional ones..daniel steel is a good author.. especially " the long road home" and "the house on hope street"... they're really touching..!!

hey ... can u suggest sum good biographies or any other gud books that u've come across... lets see...maybe al enjoy some... i wanna explore into new directions of reading rather than the usual fiction... if u can suggest sum gud books...😊

You shud read 'The Tunnel of Time' - RK Laxman's autobiography. In fiction try Final Diagonosis & Flight into Danger both by Arthur Hailey. They are so well written that u will not think its fiction

I loveeee reading!!! Infact durin the 10th boards thats wat i used to do during most of my breaks!!

But i like fiction books mostly and autobiographies are nice too..but i cant read non fiction bks on abstract kinda stuff....maybe i'll develop a likin later on??!!

I can suggest good fiction bks for u guys to read!! Like tango One by Stephen Leather is a rockin bk!! And Fast Forward by Judy mercer

I've read one autobiography by Vijaya Raje Scindia...its real nice coz she atlks about her life as a child when india still had princely states..so it was interestin!Try it! It gets a bitter boring in the middle but on the whole its nice.

ps-u really admire the ambani family dont u!
