You are the hero in your own life! A modest journey embarked on with just eight dollars in the wallet, is today a chronicle I leave you with... to know me more about life. My understanding of life, may inspire you, may be not, but it sure is a journey never to be forgotten. My higher studies beckoned me to leave the comforts of my home and till today I have not left the land which made me what I am today. Five decades of life in the USA, from being a student to a busy internist-cardiologist, life taught me to see it in a new light. Today, I pass this light on to you through my words. You may find ways to handle a highly demanding career; ways to care people and ways to nurture a private woodland too. Also, how to steal moments for oneself to getaway to foreign lands - to see the other side of life around the world, which has always inspired and rejuvenated me. Flip these pages to grab some mantras I stumbled upon, that would help you live a healthy life even in your eighties and nineties. If any of these could help my readers in making a difference in their lives, then I succeeded in my endeavor and am thankful.
