Well.... this book is well written. There are lot of examples of how we can learn from sports, which implies that lot of research has been done to write this book. Or maybe the author being well versed in this area knew well what to write.

This book is strictly for managers or the management of any organisation to read. Thus as I picked up this book thinking only about Harsha Bhogle and liking the genre to which this book belonged(self help), I didn't find it helpful for me or rather to give it 5 stars. But that does not mean that this book this not worthy of it.

As I said, this book is well written and good amount of work has been done to write this book. But, it is just that I being not a manager or head of anything (!!!) could not find this book fully appealing. But if anyone who is a head of any organisation reads it, I am sure they would find it interesting and appealing to them. Then, this book will be getting its deserving 5 stars. But, for now only 3 stars from me.

This book is an autobiography of a Malayalam dubbing artist. She has secured numerous awards for her profession and is one of the few people who came to this field when the existence of such a field was not known to many.

She has had to remove a lot of thorns to make her life and in this auto-biography she goes into each of her experiences in life. Her father died when she was 3 years old and thereafter she had to grow up in an orphanage. Her mother was a cancer patient and died when she was 6 years old. There after she grew up under the protection of her mother's elder sister. After this aunt's death she had to undergo torture from her mother's younger sister. thereafter she leaves that house.

Her life does not stop throwing stones at her even then. Her marriage ended up in divorce with 2 kids. She falls in love at middle-age and looses it later. Life is a series of ups and downs for this lady. She has emerged from all this and more as a very independent and successful lady. I salute you madam!!!

This is a good inspiring book. some parts may seem being repeated but still the experiences in life of this lady is heart-melting. happy reading!!!
