Our birth is predestined but our destiny can be rescripted by sheer passion, strong will and perseverance.
The book is a testimony of this truth. This autobiographical book is the life story of an ordinary person born in an Indian middle class family that always cherished living with limited ambition and abundant protection. Path of life is almost set at birth and trading different path is no less than revolution. Author brings it so beautifully through his own story of life so far. From small town to global cities his life journey has been fascinating though with fair share of ups and downs. This makes the reading very absorbing. His simple and candid narration of life events from childhood to adolescence,
covering education, career choices is exciting. He has very skillfully told his story at every stage with vivid description of socioeconomic issues prevalent in the country at that point of time which has made it very contemporary and thus absorbing. He has truthfully brought out personal successes and failures with equal ease. Despite occasional setbacks how he has always displayed tenacious resolve and unflinching desires to trade a new path and be little uncommon is very inspiring.
In this silent pursuit, he has always found his wife alongside with rock solid support. Their resolve to break the barriers and free their children to pursue their dream is very touching.
The life story of a common man could be so compelling and inspiring, it is to be read to believe. Considering this to be a maiden attempt of the author, one is simply moved by the simplicity and honesty in telling a life story that can relate to millions of aspirational Indians. For this author deserves huge admiration.
One will be always curious to know the journey hence and hope the author shall oblige in time to come.

A soothing reading experience
This book was a journey I'm glad I took. This novel makes you feel warm and fuzzy, and satisfied. There is a strange calmness to the way the author narrated his life. The writing was beautiful and serene. It was like the stories your grandfather would tell you, about old days, and you went on listening because it's so fascinating. This novel gave me an insight into life, friendship, love, the 90s, death and most importantly, about writing one's own destiny. I loved the subtle comparisons between the 90s and the present times, the way things have changed- they are too real, and maybe, a little saddening. It is a realisation that while many things have improved, there are some very beautiful things we have lost.There was a slight lag in the middle of the narration, just for a few pages, but it picked up the usual pace once again.This is a light, slow read. It's meant to calm you down. I would recommend it to people who would read it keeping this in mind. You will love it if you read it like the life of a person you know. It made me feel so blessed.
