I read the magnum opus of Marathi literature ’Mrityunjay’ as a teenager and it really helped me understand the world view. Mrityunjay is a story of a great warrior who by sheer chance of luck ends up being a lower-caste charioteer. The book showed me that life is not black and white, talent is not all that’s needed to succeed and how luck and pragmatism plays a huge part in your life. It also helped me understand what Krishna stands for and what Dharma is. Fascinating theme that is still relevant today.
