Having been working since
a decade now the next step in my corporate ladder is definitely to lead a team
and become a leader. Somehow our ancient
scriptures have always fascinated me with reference to the lessons of life. You
can read about it here and here. I picked up this book solely for one reason;
it said a business novel inspired by the Mahabharata. Needless to say INSEAD’s
former Dean’s foreword was an added attraction.

Me
thinks
I took a long time to
read this book as I savored each and every chapter for quite some time after I
had read it till it had seeped in deeper and I was ready for another one. The
book is excellently written in terms of language and explanations. Spirituality,
I personally believe is a highly over rated thing in our country. But with
books like these I am assured that the sanctity of it still exists. There is still a lot to be learnt and
unearthed which is carefully hidden deep within our own realms. I had once read
a forward message which said God hid the secret of life in man for He knew he
would never look there. This book makes me want to believe it is true. There is a lot of depth and research that
reflects in each chapter. You can feel some of the words lingering long after
you are done reading.
