I don't read one book. I read at least three to four books at a time. The last book I read was "The Last Word" by Simone. It was about Princess Diana's lifSe.

What was the best part about this book?

I have been reading about Diana and have been following her life since I was 16. Lately, there have been four to five books about Princess Diana, but all are so commercial. What I like about this book is that it has the "tell it all" factor. Everything is so detailed. It has volumes written about what kind of a person she really was. It is an eye opener.

What sort of books do you like to read?

I love reading non-fiction. But I have just finished two novels which were really good. One of which was Da Vinci Code. Otherwise in non-fiction I love John Bishon a lot who is a priest.

Which book is close to your heart?

There is one book which changed my life, my attitude completely. I was transformed into an adventurous person, who could go out and risk anything. That book was written by Robert Schuller called, "Tough times don't last, but tough people do." I have even recommended this book to my friends, and they thank me till date.

Tell us something about your collection.

I love collecting books. I have 16 cartons of books lying in my Pune flat and can't even count how many in Mumbai.
