I am currently reading Five great myths of career building (Macmillan India), wrtitten by Mr Sanjiv R Bhamre: Click HERE is the Google Books URL. The book is indeed very interesting & helpful, and I would strongly recommend this book. However, I would also like to add a feedback to the author (with due humility) what I felt could improve the readability of the work. "Dear Mr Bhamre,  I find this book of yours very insightful and well-thought out.  Your writing too, is lucid and the examples are easily relate-able & interesting. However, here is my humble suggestion to you:  Please try to re-arrange your book in such a manner that it becomes easier to discern, what ARE the myths that you are advising against and what are your REAL insights/advice that you wish the reader should follow.  Often, as one thread ends and the counter arguement begins, it becomes confusing and the message is sometimes lost.

Anger, revulsion and sadness well up deep inside as one reads the news reports of the Boston Marathon site bomb blasts. They shake you from the inside. So many innocents killed and maimed, why and for what fault of theirs?

Dear brothers & sisters of US, we the people of India, are with you as in this grief. You may note that we too have a long history of being regularly exposed to similar gruesome acts of terror during the course of our daily lives.  However, much unlike your administration, which cares and will fight back for you, sadly the case is very different here in India. Here in India, the wanton terrorist strikes are just opportunities by politicians to give high TRP interviews on prime time TV and do NOTHING. Unlike the US, our political class hardly ever bothers, unless the dead count is in minimum t
