I recently had the privilege of reading this book, and I must say it's a must-read masterpiece. Filled with honesty, inspiration, and sprinkled with light moments, the book offers a unique perspective that resonates deeply. The insights into leadership and personal growth are both thought-provoking and uplifting. As someone connected to my college ( He was my Ex Principal in IHM Lucknow), I found it particularly enriching to gain a deeper understanding of his experiences and wisdom. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a blend of authenticity and motivation.

Hailing from Lucknow, I could deeply empathize with the challenges the author encountered over half a century ago. Through his remarkable endeavors, the author not only navigates the difficulties of that era but also bravely explores uncharted territories, turning adversity into triumph. Additionally, what struck me profoundly was the author's decision to dedicate the book to his late Principal, Ms. Philip, despite being an esteemed educator and principal himself for 3 decades
