For all those including me who had assumed that Suraj's entry to films was a cake walk, the book is an eye opener. Suraj takes the reader through the Kerala of late 80s and 90s. A life filled with hardships but also one with a never ending passion to succeed in life. He lays bare all emotions of a normal human being; Fear of failure, jealousy, despair, ecstasy, all taking turns like waves to the shore as he vividly explains in one of the chapters. Suraj's life is truly inspiring and restores faith in the belief that hard work and dedication will help achieve one's dreams. Loved his writing style as well and not for once found it dragging. Thanks a lot Suraj for this gem!!!
