a young lad of class 12th bumped into me at the crossword's billing counter with the book of his choice dale carnegie's how to win friends and influence people. i unsolicitedly told him that I feel this is a very overrated book. he then asked what should I read then.
i couldn't think of many books, especially for a lad of class 12, impromptu and recommended Tuesdays with Morrie. i wasn't expecting anything.
to my surprise the guy literally left carnegie's book at the counter, went back searching, came again to the counter with Tuesdays with Morrie, billed it, thanked me; introduced me to his friends who were twins, had a nice small talk and went away !
