Hey guys,

Maine bahuth dino se koi post shuroo hi nahi ki, is liye aaj kar raha hoon.

Just a random post, but I am an avid reader so I was wondering what my JLZ family's favourite books were and why... let me know and I will read the ones I like 😊

I don't know if this post has been done before or not. Sorry if it has been done already.

Hope you are all having a lovely, relaxing weekend. 😃

Have not been reading these days's but did a lot during school and collage days.

Big fan of Ayn Rand. Atlas shrugged and Fountainhead. Love her philosophical system she calls Objectivism. What characters and what strength in their convictions. I Amy not be fully into Objectivism, but I like strong people who are strong and believe in whatever they believe in and stand by it.

Like other authors too.. You made me think about all of them, I think books can help us develop our character all we have to do is to just pick some good qualities and make it part of our life..

Good post. 👍🏼

My all time fav Na Hanyate

The story is from a girl's perspective, her love, respect, obey for Tagore... when she met tagore it felt like a fan met her hero... Her look on love, her fell in love with a foreigner, old bengal and India, she went to see her the foreigner in his country at her later life... The hearty and all most honest narration of the author Maitreyi Devi hooked me to the book

To Know More about do visit https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Na_Hanyate

The hindi film Hum Dil De chuke Sanam was inspired byt the story and a film named The Bengali Nights starring Hugh Grant was made on the same story which was based on Romanian novel written by the author and philosopher Mircea Eliade.

I don't read much but the latest book I read was Two States by Chetan Bhagat...I found it amusing also and realistic also...I am really happy that a movie on the same book is being made too.

I have read short stories of Tagore...the best book till date...it was only his compilation...

I liked the depiction of Benagli literature in old movies too...and Tagore's description of Bengal itself created so many scenic imaginations...

I have also read dectictive short stories of Satyajit Ray another masterpiece.

Latest mein I like Chetan Bhagat.
