Being a typical voracious reader..I hog on to almost anything and everything that comes my way..( But just until my curiosity is working..).Once I loose my wonderment to know about the book or the story..I give up the read..(Which I think is normal..). Along with reading another good habit (gud..Err..Rather irritating..) Is that once I read something..I love narrating it to anyone I know..
Hmm..So cumin back to the topic of my latesht “BOOK-ISHTAAN-BOOKEDVENTURE”..I read INDIA 2020 by our very 
own..”long-weird hairdo uncle” APJ Abdul kalam..na yaar!!serious respect to the ultimate person he is and all his work for ‘apna india’ deserves a heartfelt appreciation..(thank u APJAK uncle)..
About the book..-india 2020..as the name says is a vision of india in year 2020 (and though it takes a lot more hrz..once u read the book u will definitely prefer it over a show of love story 2050)..so the book narrating the present situation of developing india provides a blue-print for the india-to-come..APJAK uncle’s unmovable confidence and his potentiality to accost the problems at the roots makes listening to him a job difficult to resist…believe me guyz..(though I’ve neva talked to him personally but weneva I hear him speaking on the television , I feel a connection, I sit glued to the TV and feel that wateva hez speaking..is especially for me..only me..thanx to his ultimate verbalising abilities…sir,im a fan!! ok..ok back to book(*apology*, this carking habit of mine is a total problem!!)
Now lemme quote a few of my favorite lines from the book :- 
“in the field of space technology, we started from a scratch to have today a system of satellite based communication linking remote regions of the country. The same sense of purpose can lead us to success in many other areas crucial to achieving the goal of a prosperous, strong nation..” w-o-w…(applause!!)
Now letz see wat tribune quotes about the book :-
“this is no ordinary book..it should be in all libraries and on the desk of every individual who dreams about the future of india…”
As APJAK uncle says..he dedicates his book to a little girl who when asked about her dream..she said..”I want to live in a developed india”..
Well, now to put it in a nutshell, for all the young-ishtaan wasi who feel or who want to know about what can they do for india. Go get a copy and see for yourself..!! and no worries guyz..there is definitely something for everyone……
The ending backdrop:- (here we have a song for every feeling, I just love Indian music industry)
“saathi hath badhaan.. 
Ek akela thak jaega,
Milkar bojh uthana..
Sathi hath badhana..”
Signing off from book-ishtaan..!!
Think high..Fly higher.!!
Cheerz..!!

It's a book every indian must read...seems to b good...lemme chk out myself...
Coming to ur write-up, it was pretty small...could have elaborated...thou it was short, it was very sweet...esp your starting lines...started off on a nice note.. keep writing...
How sad that I cannot finish any book. I have started with a million books but idk why but I end up ditching each one of them :P
I guess I HAVE to read this one :P
Cheers!!
@rajesh..
thanku.."all gud things cum in small packages"
@comfortably numb..
well.thats quiet a common prob..and cuz u hav it...i wud suggest u to start wid small buks..that wud finish in like one or two dayz!! so tat b4 u think of givin up the buk it finishes!!
try out and tell me if it works..
thanx for commenting.
Nice article Niccku! Yes, me too cannot finish any book. I am not too fond of fiction, I love reading biographies and autobiographies, about real people and real opportunities. Check out Shah Rukh Khan and the seductive world of Indian Cinema by Anupama Chopra. It's pretty good. Maximum City by Suketu Mehta is good too. But my fave author would be Rohinton Mistry, I just love his writings. Who is your fave? How is Udaan going?
haanji to time has finally come when i start commenting.....well havnt read the book and no plans in near future whatsoever...but there is a magnetic force in ur writing skills dear....never ever felt for a second while reading that i was actually reading text not listening to you. U make people stop and take notice...Rock on.
hey sweet buns, nice writing as alwayz, only this time,i must say, its nice reading too...2020 is a good choice, UAPJAK [Uncle APJAK ;) ]will surly b happy to read ur writeup, but right now he is too busy so i m writing on his behalf--"Good going kid,keep it up"... :D
U appriciate his writing and hez appriciating urs.. cool isn't it :P
And rocking angle, i like that poem benethe apj uncle too...and i m positive that ur next post will b on board soon and would b somthin different...and positivity to kan-kan me hai.. example :--
one day one electron was circling a neuclus.. he saw and proton trapped inside, so he ask the proton,"How are u dude", proton replied,"I am fine bro", electron asked again,"R u sure", and proton replied "YES, I M POSITIVE"... HO HOHO...
