Guptaji and
Rawat, you both sadly surprised me that you have not read this

classic book cause if i have read, Rawat too should have had and 
Gupta ji
you sure should have :). It used to be a must read then. It is so 
good that
an ardent reader will breeze through the 1000 pages of the paper 
back.
Bad, bad, bad.

There is so much in the world to see, hear, smell, taste, feel, 
savour, visit, appreciate etc. that not one but a hundred life 
times would not be sufficient if one wants to experience 
everything. Gone with the Wind was the movie in early sixties 
famous for its unusually high oscar awards. I was in medical 
college then. Many saw it, many did not, for various reasons. 
Those who did not or could not see it do not in any way detract 
 from the greatness of the movie or the novel.

There may be many who have not read in full the Gita or the Ram 
Charit Manas or Bible [New Testament] or David Copperfield or 
Godan or My experiments with Truth or Discovery of India. By any 
reckoning, each of these is any time probably greater as a work of 
literature or culture than Gone with the wind, though comparisons 
are odious. I have read all of the above, and would like to read 
many more, except that we read what happens to be available at a 
time, along with time itself!
