Gandhi: The Story of My Experiments with Truth

I love the strong tea. It doesn't taste that good when you get in the Indian train. I still buy it and drink. It is the pleasure of holding the paper cup and feeling the warmth of it. It is the sweetness of feeling the cup between your lips. It is the delightfulness of the soft breeze and the sound of the moving train. And top of everything, a good book in your hand of accompany you.

I had "The Devil and Miss Prym" by Paulo Coelho and "The Story of My Experiments with Truth" by Mahatma Gandhi. I chose Gandhi's book as it was one of the long pending books that I wanted to read.

As long as we believe in science, we can truly appreciate our power and the things we have achieved. The oldest of the power struggles can be the one between men and women. It is perhaps so subtle that we can’t even call it a power struggle. While we manage to fight against external things, this is something happening in our own race, and we haven’t had an answer yet. A coffee selling 10 times costlier than the price of it in a decade ago may mean the coffee price has been raised. But when you compare it with the price of everything, it is relatively the same.
