Childhood Days In Karwar (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9789393635129)

These are stories from a time when we believed in the magic of nothing being beyond what we could achieve.

Times when we trusted our friends to guard our backs in the darkest of allies.

Times when we would give our lives to guard our friend's back in return.

Times when we learnt the essence of leading and being led.

Times of our childhood!

Traces of these traits acquired then, remained in me as I grew up, helping me scale up the ladder in my corporate career! To cruise through life with perfect timing.

And to Alia and Abdullah, in whom I see traces of these traits reborn, who hopefully will have realised after reading this book, the reason they feel, the way they do for their friends. I pray you carry it forward, which is the purpose of our living, isn't it?
