Lessons From Chetan Bhagat

I've always admired Chetan Bhagat as a writer. Have read all his books, my favorite being "Five Point Someone." Off late, other than writing novels, he's also popular as a speaker who talks about life, 'spark' and other topics in general. He's also seen more as a youth icon amongst the youngsters.

Today he tweeted about some of the lessons he've learnt in life. Here's the tweet.

We Have Lost Touch With Humanity

I was reading Robin Sharma's - "Who Will Cry When You Die?" . Love reading the book because I can start reading from any page. And each small lesson of these little book provides food for thought.

However, it's a different story that I'm running less and walking more. But the important thing is, the needle is moving. Apart from running, have also started doing a few stretching and upper-body exercises . My initial goal is to complete 5 km run. Became member of Central Library, Gandhinagar and read 2-3 books namely, 1. The Palace of Illusions 2. Curfewed Night and currently reading Akoopar (Gujarati).
