Got Brick by red brick by T T Ram Mohan. It is about Ravi Mathai's direction of IIM Ahmedabad. I had read the review first and IIMA senior faculty member V L Mote had raised objections to some points. I knew nothing about Mathai except the few mentions by V. Kurien in his autobiography. IIMA is also above my league totally. So I only intend to get information and possibly learn something about leading academic institutions from this book. A quick browse yesterday gave the impression of a good writing style and racy narrative.
Musings of a teacher. She recalls her lectures, her students and college days. She describes and analyses books. She comments on important happenings and trends. Occasionally she writes stories as well as personal memories.
