Self Study Course

Talking about someone who inspires me...... actually its so many(and actually that was my problem.) some times (movies) maniratnam, some times rgv, scorsese, ridley scott, satyajit ray, farhan akthar, Quentin tarantino..... some times (politics) vajpayee, jayaprakash narayan, (investor) warren buffet, Steve Jobs (apple ceo)....
Generally people have role models as someone with whom they associate themselves in terms of ideology, some one in their field of work, some one whos work motivate them..
now put this aside for some time, im intrested in biographies of people.. apart 4m above mentioned names, many 4m history like Benjamin Franklin, Leonardo Da Vinci, Chanakya and even ppl around me. Rather than saying biographies, i better say intrested in their works, their environment, their motives, thought process.. not a deeper study, but an overview...
[i heard from someone that for the character played by abhishek bachan in yuva, maniratnam has given him a thick notes on the life of that (imaginary) character from its childhood, though the character in the movie starts at the age of 25+. such things fascinate me ;) ]
The point i wanted to mention is all the above are not formally educated in their fields[there are good film schools, as good as engineering n B-schools].... they are self taught. i like it that way , a self designed course with no exams but some one to clear the doubts :).
I believe many things are not taught, they are just learnt
