An Autobiography or The Story of my experiments with truth - M.K.Gandhi

I wanted very much to like this book and there by the author too but failed miserably. The autobiography presents lots of surprises - Gandhiji's meekness, weaknesses, habits, voracious reading, personal contacts, philanthropy, dietary obsessions, weird notions on celibacy, dogged interior, conflicts n contradictions and so is a far cry from the Mahatma portrayed in the state curriculum, movies, articles n biographies.

Experiments with truth?! No, he devoted almost all of his life in perusal of The Truth and struggled   hard to follow the ones he believed in. Poor Bapuji, he punished his body n spirit mercilessly for the same. The truth is that his truths are too bitter to swallow.

So, what is The Truth?
