The 3 mistakes of my life !!!

Thatz the book which I purchased when Nandu was here in b'lore...Author is Chetan Bhagat... What made me get that is a simple incident. When Arun was there in b'lore, he had given me a hint about this and told me if you can read it then go for it... I didn't bother at that time... Later one of my friend, Ambi, send one article/speech by mail, done by Chetan Bhagat in Symbiosis at Pune... As my usual habbit goes, I deleted the mail without even opening that... Later many good comments I could hear on that article... I retrieved the deleted mail and read it completely. It was such an inspiring speech done by Chetan, which really touched my feelings, b'coz of its content and its simplicity... I cursed myself for deleting the same at the first instance... The lines in the mail is still there in my mind... This time when I went with Nandu to some bookstalls, at the entrance itself I saw "The 3 mistakes of my life" by Chetan Bhagat... The name striked me on the spot... Opened it and read the first two pages there itself... Inspired..!!! :-) No second thought... bought it... Now I feel coming back come from office quickly so that I can read some portion of the book as time permits... :-)... Thanks to all my friends, who could directly or indirectly influence and bring back one of my good old hobbies...
