About the book
It is an inspirational autobiography of a village boy who struggled his way to establish himself in the modern hostile world and was able to settle in a large city in India. He was a victim of humiliation at every level of his life; but instead of plunging into depression, he laughed it away as if each and every humiliation was only another inspirational milestone in his life. He found every cloud with a silver lining and made himself ready for another battle of his life after every humiliation meted out against him. After reading the book, it is hoped, that any reader from a modest background will be inspired to do something special for him/ her and for his/ her family.
