Shantaram is a true story a non fiction which teaches us about the ups and downs of a life various phases of life that one goes through. This one is all time favorite book of mine though its look pretty thick in look almost 900 pages but once you read you get dissolved and involved in it so much that you don’t feel like keeping the book . It took me almost 20 days to read the book but each n every chapter teaches you something, the way of thinking your views towards your life changes. The book inspires you to live your life at fullest enjoy and
cherish every moment of your life.
