‘In The Ring with Life’ is one of the best books I have ever read. The author has been able to touch on various important facets of life in a very interesting and appealing manner. There are nuggets of wisdom strewn throughout the book which would go a long way to make the diligent reader a better achiever, and a better human whatever may be his station in life. The author succeeds in striking an immediate rapport with the reader by her friendly approach without any semblance of sermonising. The punches delivered in the ring by LIFE are only various crisis situations including the retrenchment which the Author had faced at the height of her career due to COVID19. The author has been able to tide over all such situations with love for all living beings, patience, and courage. I recommend this book to all men and women who strive to lead meaningful and satisfying life.
MY MEMOIRS REDISCOVERED Shashikala Shanmugasundaram has presented a beautiful masterpiece “IN THE RING WITH LIFE” comprising of the realities of life, the situations one faces, the remedies one considers, and the solutions one decides to manage and move ahead in the ‘Cycle of Life’. I am highly impressed with this ‘Life-Lesson’, and thank Shashikala at the first instance to enlighten me and make me more aware of the realities that we have to overcome and face in life.
She has very rightly said that ‘we rarely wear our pain on our sleeves’, as suppressing emotions creates an imbalance internally, which leads to tension, dysfunctional behaviour, and even physical illness. By doing so, we AFFECT our within more, and the EFFECT is seen outside. We do not become one with it, but an individual distinct without it. Basically, it is the perception with which we face it, which the author has rightly termed as ‘Always being tested’. My best wishes to Shashikala for all her
Strongly recommended as a good read
