I'll Do It My Way: The Incredible Journey of Aamir Khan by Christina Daniels
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

It talks about Behind Scenes. It has the interviews with the people around Aamir who made movies with him. It contains several stories happened during the shoots - few interesting, few knowledge boosting. It also tells how Aamir always thought innovatively. For example, QSQT was one of the rare, maybe the first film to have a negative ending where hero-heroine die, Raja Hindustani's second half started where most of the movies end, Rang De Basanti was the first movie of songs with no lipsing, Lagaan was entirely a different concept and so on..

In initial pages, I found it good and inspiring to know about Aamir's qualities, but later they were repeated; just from the mouth of different people. So this makes the book little dull. Book could have been smaller with no repetition of content. Instead of stating things in terms of interviews, if it'd have been written like a story, book could have been small yet better.

A good way to have a good idea is to have lots of ideas.

One of the best ways of learning how to do anything new (including software APIs!) is to get your hands dirty as quickly as possible.
