I also happened to read The Street Lawyer by John 'I used to be a lawyer' Grisham.
I was about a 100 pages into the book when I realized that I had already read it once, but continued to read it anyway.
This is one of those books which makes you stop and think for a while - "What am I doing with my life?"
We work to earn money- money so that our families can live safely and securely, so that we can buy those few things we desire, eat at a fancy restaurant, our children go to the best school we can afford, our parents are happy, etc.
Yet, we spend more time at our workplace than actually doing the things mentioned above.
So how do we achieve the real motive that we're working for? We're spending long hours in the office making sure we're up for a promotion or that we clinch that business deal, but our families don't get to see as much of as they'd like to.
We don't get enough time to do what we'd like to. I might want to write a book, learn to play the guitar, work with NGOs, go trekking, but how can I?
Anyway, it's a circle and we just go round and round!
That's all folks!!
p.s- why the "and other short stories " in the title of this post? aise hi! Sue karte kya? Sue sue yehaan nako karo, side me karo! :)
