Books Page

This page contains books I recommend you to read and a few excerpts from good books I have read. These are again given in chronological order i.e. my entries added in month will appear under the heading of that month. 

The objective of publishing the book extracts is 

Everyone does not get enough time to read books. Even though intention exists, reading and grasping the essence of the book is a time consuming task. The summary presented here can help one learning what exists in the book without necessarily going through the same book. So whenever I read a book, I make notes of the book and try to share with as many people as possible. I sincerely hope more and more people gain by this knowledge sharing. Do let me know if you have benefited by my knowledge sharing. Your feedback will let me do more and encourage me. I am thankful to my wife Anu who helps me in converting the notes to Documents that can be published on this homepage.
