Army institute of technology 🏫
.
On 19th January I had the privilege of spending time with the students and faculty at the Army Institute of Technology, and it was truly a memorable experience. The energy on campus was inspiring, filled with curiosity, discipline, and a genuine passion for learning. I had engaging conversations with bright young minds who asked thoughtful questions and shared their ambitions with confidence.
I also spoke about my own journey — how I transitioned from being a CA to becoming the “booklet guy,” and how that path led to starting Mission Make India Read. Sharing the ups and downs, lessons learned, and the purpose behind encouraging reading made the interaction even more meaningful. The warmth from the faculty and enthusiasm from the students left me feeling grateful, motivated, and hopeful about the future.

When I think of Sudha Murthy, the image that pops up in my mind is a simple yet energetic lady in off-white saree with grey hair and an ear-to-ear smile. She is not only a great writer but also my ideal social entrepreneur. Long back, I had covered a small story from her famous book “Wise and Otherwise” in Booklet App. Now I wish to share with you Sudha Murthy’s most intimidating college life story from her book “3000 Stitches: Ordinary People, Extraordinary Lives.” Summary available on Booklet App 😊

We often say yes when we wanted to say no. Why saying no is so difficult? People struggle with saying no due to cultural conditioning - saying no means selfishness. We often say yes out of fear of rejection and the desire to be liked and accepted. Chronic people-pleasing leads to burnout, stress and compromised mental and physical health. Learning to say no improves time management, relationships, and overall well-being. Saying yes to every request means saying no to your own well-being, priorities, and time. Author gives us many of the common day to day situations where we feel awkward to say no. Summary available on Booklet App.

When Alexander the Great's army marched through India, Chanakya faced a unique challenge: battle-hardened soldiers who had conquered half the known world. He searched for weakness and found it in their hearts. These men had been away from home for years, missing their wives, children, and homeland. Chanakya then sent Vishkanyas—beautiful, intelligent women—not to poison them physically, but emotionally. Through gentle conversations, they reminded the soldiers of home: family meals, children’s laughter, the comfort of their own beds. Gradually, the soldiers’ zeal faded. They began questioning why they were fighting so far away, and Alexander, undefeated on the battlefield, started losing the psychological war. This is just one example of Chanakya's shrewd brilliance. Let us learn from him in this book. Summary is available on Booklet app.

New Year isn’t about turning a page, it’s about reading it with intent.
Read slowly. Read deeply. Read to question, not just to finish.

It’s the month of December. There is curfew in gyms. But in January, you’ll see tsunami of resolutions. Such things hardly work. So I picked up this book for all my Booklet friends, who argue with me, “Arey Amrut, exercise karne ko time hi nahi milta hai yar”  There are some eye opening ideas that can transform your approach towards physical exercise. Few of my favourites are “The Time Loss Paradox”, The False Hope syndrome and the “Uncomfortable Procrastination Trick. Summary is available on Booklet app.
