Siddhartha got me the book from India. I wanted to read it for quite some time. So when Sid decided to go to India over weekend, I had pleaded him to get me
" My Experiments with Truth " by Mahatma Gandhi.
Did you know that Mahatma Gandhi wrote this book in his mother-tounge,Gujrati entitled
Satyana Prayogo athva Atmakatha?
The first thing that struck me about the book (after reading couple of pages) was the blatant simplicity. I was expecting a highly sophisticated, phylosophically charged rhetoric with citations from Aristotle and Kant.
I was blissfully dissapointed. Perhaps, I had forgotten that Mahatma Gandhi had always stood for Simplicity.
