book-A stitch in time

The unusual title sets you thinking and even before you wonder what Mercedes and the Missing Clock (Viva Books) would mean, Anuj Khare, 28, the author of this book on mastering time tells you that “Mercedes” stands for luxuries and “Missing Clock” symbolises that you could attain luxuries without being a stickler for time. Khare’s Mercedes and the... was launched by Anil Shastri, member of Congress at India International Centre on January 10. After penning down other motivational books like Psychology of Success in IIT-JEE and Science of Achievement, it took this young author three years to write this book. Explains this modern-day guru, “This book is a result of a transformation in my own life. There was a time when lack of time was affecting my family and professional life, those days I attended many motivational talks on time management and read books on the same topic. Later, I decided to go deeper into it and write my own book on not just managing time but also mastering it.” Khare is an IIT graduate with a master’s degree in computer engineering from University of Texas, Austin. He is currently serving as managing director, Appin Group of Companies based in Texas. He sums it all up philosophically but with a cliché: “Make sure to get what you like or else you will be forced to like what you get.”
