This is an incredible story of a young boy who had to take on immense responsibility during the turbulent times of the Second World War and Partition. It is a truly authentic account of his journey - one of losing everything and bringing his family safely to India from Rawalpindi to Pune. Despite not having a formal education, he had a brilliant and sharp mind who seized opportunities and built an empire with his values and style. The story is a testament to the virtues of hard work, discipline, sincerity, business acumen, and relationships. The author shares many examples of practical wisdom that can be applied in both personal and professional life. The writing style is engaging and makes it easy for readers to connect with the story.
