This is the most inspirational book one can ever read. I was very glad that this book was written by an Indian (Arun Tiwari) about an Indian whose life journey is so inspiring that it can just turn your life. It shows how a normal young Muslim boy who lived in Rameswharam turned into a famous scientist and then the president of a country like India.
What it includes???
~ The odd jobs he did to pay his school fees.
~ How he became a vegetarian??
~ How he wanted to become an Indian Force
Pilot?
~ How he became a rocket engineer instead of
a Collector as his father had dreamt????
He describes individuals like Prof. Sarabhai and Dr. Brahm Prakash who had a great impact in his personality. He describes the qualities of a leader and how he faced difficulties in becoming one. Being a 'small-town boy' his journey was not simple and full of people who were always jealous of him.
But as the book says he never left hope, courage and faith in God and with his determination and hardwork he was able to achieve what he could never think of.
He considered all religions equal and had equal respect for all the religions. He was even the best friend of the son of the head priest of Rameswaram Temple.
I loved the ways he keeps on describing his various teachers of life and all the influential people and their qualities.
I would say that you read this book only if you are above 15 years otherwise you will find the language heavy and difficult and you can also struggle to understand the book here and there mainly because of the deep meaning and inspirations. You will love the way he includes short poems everywhere. Also, the book uses a lot of technical and aeronautical words so some people just like me might face issues in understanding them.
The book is 180 pages long. The book according to me is not durable ( I bought it 6 months back) and the pages can easily be torn if not taken care of.
In the end I would say that this is a perfect inspirational book for anybody who is interested in aeronautics or just want to achieve greater heights in life. The book is a perfect package and is a must read.
So I surely recommend this book.
