BOOK I AM READING THIS WEEK
Finished reading India's Most Fearless 2: More Military Stories of Unimaginable Courage and Sacrifice
Good read, if you like patriotic stories of valor and incredible courage!
Started reading Cold Steel (thanks to Aditya Kondawar for the suggestion) - which is the takeover story of Mittal Steel (Lakshmi Mittal) taking over Arcelor.
It is written in a gripping fashion and I haven't been able to put it down! Brilliant book with a lot of research gone behind it.
Pick it up if you love true stories about corporate takeovers :)
In other news, I was at the press for 2 days, signing the copies of my next book 'Get Epic Shit Done', which will launch for pre-order soon with 25K signed copies up for grabs (and will start shipping Dec 17th).
Do Epic Shit is FINALLY in audio (yay!).
I had an awesome time recording it in my voice and it is exclusively on Audible.
If you are into audio books - consider listening to this one :)

If you prefer printed books then pick up the book in English (Hardcover, Paperback, Kindle) Hindi, Marathi and Tamil.
200,000+ copies sold.
5 more languages coming up! (Including Portuguese)

My response?
I prefer being left alone and processing it on my own - because I am able to quickly resolve it and move on. That is a superpower :)
PICTURE OF THE WEEK
This Sunday we went to the Bangla Sahib Gurudwara in Delhi. It is a beautiful serene places (as most Gurudwaras tend to be) - the langar was awesome (especially the dal) and the weather was just perfect for the setting!
Have you visited the Golden Temple in Amritsar? It is a must-visit.
