Inspiring plot The thirteen-year-old monk is a short story of 17 pages. Before getting into this I judge the book by my perspective which were like (it would be about how to live life, or it definitely would be a short self-help guide). Yes, I misjudged it. Himanshu has written several short stories and poem and I can bet this was his valuable work ever. I have read his other books as well but the story shared in this is something I would cherish. The story goes a Ronnie a well-known actor and s...

The Thirteen year Old MonkThis is a short read of around 20 pages a 10 minute read approx, but this story proves that one doesn't needs a huge book to understand simple concept of life, Infact this book made me worry a little less about what I was worrying today.In this world of cut throught competition we are always running behind perfection and getting better which is not at all bad, but we also need to learn and accept the value of satisfaction, maybe we thought something and made that in our...

This book was a quick read consisting of a pleasant story. In a very few pages, the story is properly narrated with a rational conclusion. While reading this, just like the protagonist, I too felt confused that can a 13 year old monk, be a "master"?

Many of us, in our life are confused that we are following our passion, living the life that we have chosen but then why are
