what I've been doing recently

Screwing up things and killing time for the sake of it. Yes on the reading front I finished reading of iWoz. It is wonderful book and tells you the virtues of an Engineer. For me He is the biggest hacker ever been. I have seen Pirates of Silicon Valley 3 times in the last 6-8 months and Its a great story of computer industry revolution and competition at its best.
On the reading front I again Hugh Prather's Notes to Myself. This is a good book for some meaningful reading. In fact it is the only book I've read ever which makes you take pauses after every paragraph you have to finished. You immediately connect to situation or lines mentioned there and try to extract meaning out of it. It is healing for sure. Makes you calm when you are frustrated :)
I purchased following books from flipkart. I havent finished all of them but would provide me enough stories to read,words to churn and thoughts to think.
  • Destination Moonby Pallava bagla - India's space mission story for the last decade
  • Stay hungry Stay foolish by Rashmi Bansal - 25 IIMA enterpreuners
  • iWoz (finished*) - Apple Inc Story from the very early days
  • The Prophet- Kahil Gibran - Dont know why I purchased this. Lets see
  • Man's Search for meaning by Victor Frankl - was top on my reading list. Would be interesting read for sure.
