We take decisions, sometimes after giving a thought and few decisions we take, as we don’t have any option left with us.

But somehow, we have to act and move ahead.

I would like to mention a small decision, which I took in my life. For others it may not seem that big, but for me, its a major one, and a satisfactory too.

Reading is one of my hobbies. In school I used to read Marathi [my Mother tongue] books.

In college, when moved to Mumbai, I have seen many used to read English books, newspapers.

I decided to start reading English books. At my place English is considered as a difficult one, so initially to overcome that fear, I started reading in it.

I found it difficult to understand, for every other word, I had to take help of dictionary. That I do now as well, but slowly I started taking interest in.

I am proud that, apart from Marathi and Hindi, I read many English books, which helped me in my thinking.

That journey culminated in launching my first book in English. And another in Marathi language will come soon.

I know, I am not yet reached to that proficiency, but I am happy with that decision.
