Having written about my favourite movies and songs, I come to the last part of the tag which I picked up two weeks back. Though my knowledge of songs and movies is decent, picking up favourite books was a real tough one for me and with the alphabets of my name, all the more difficult. I wish I could read more and more books. With the little of what I read, here is what I could enlist as my favourite books, of course, tweaked to match the alphabets of my name:
India after Gandhi – A book which takes us to beautiful journey of 60 years of independent India and celebrates Victory of democracy. There is something about this book which tells me why India still survives after so much of diversity. Indeed, a true treasure by Ramachandra Guha.
Ignited Minds – Written by former president of India, Dr. A P J Abdul Kalam, the book has tremendous energy on offer. This was one of my favourite book during college days. The power of vision and dreams is indeed infinite and incredible. A must read for all youngsters who would take the world towards a new horizon.
Sachin Tendulkar – A definitive biography written by Vaibhav Purandare, the book lets us know each and every thing about Sachin the Legend. Vaibhav himself played against Sachin during school days and throws extraordinary insights on why and how Sachin became the legend.
How series by Dale Carnegie – Short books by Dale Carnegie are real useful for self-development. In particular, I like the one called “how to stop worrying and start living.” The book simplifies stress management and contains success stories of several great people.
The Alchemist – This book is not unknown to anyone and is inarguably one of greatest best-sellers in the history of books. Paulo Coelho has created a wonderful plot and bounded everyone with a mesmerizing theme. The book takes you to a different journey to wherever Santiago goes in search of “Personal Legend."
The Little Prince – One of my friends gifted me this book around six years ago and I am glad that I read the story of "The Little Prince." Most fascinating thing about “The Little Prince” is that the essence of the story has been explained with very naïve and innocent thoughts. It is so pleasing to realize importance of little little things that happens in day to day life. A great book to read and cherish!

Wow; that's an interesting list. I would have never figured out that The Prince would ever feature in anybody's list of books these days. A classic. Bravo.
@ Ramesh - Oh thank you once again. :) I did not know the history of little prince, may be an old book. But I liked it. :) I am glad to finish the tag :)
