After a gap of more than six years, my second book is finally coming to see the daylight. It has been a long journey and each day during those six years I had been thinking about the next book. Its so easy to be a ‘One Book Wonder’ these days. Moreover, the pressure because of the success of the first book was also mounting with each passing day. I had to keep up with the expectations. I had to keep up with the good wishes. And as I was writing the chapters, ‘Make It BIG’ was very much there on my mind. And there I was making a mistake. I did not have any intention to write Make It BIG Part 2. I wanted a different book altogether. Make It BIG was for the aspirants. It was mostly an academic book. But I wanted to be different this time. I wanted to write a book that would cater to the ideals and aspirations of each section of the society- from a teacher to a businessman, from a student to a mother, from a doctor to someone who is appearing in the entrance exams to be a doctor, from a father to a son. And that was quite an upheaval task. The first thing I had to do in the process was to get rid off the hangover of Make It BIG. It was rather a sweetly written simple book. I did not want to be any more sweet this time. I did not want to please people by my book. I rather wanted to be hard hitting, practical and introspective. I wanted to preach only those things I practise in my own life. I did not aspire to be didactic. I did not intend to portray the beauties of life or the vagaries of success. Rather I wanted to warn about the dangers that lurk behind every silver lining.
People expect me to write motivational books because of my contributions in the sphere of academics through my YT channel. Seriously speaking, motivation was the last word on my mind while I was writing the book. This is not a motivational book. This is not a self-help guide to find ethereal peace. This is rather a work based on years of experience, years of understanding the complexities of human character. This is an effort to find the real purpose of one’s own life in the tough time of growing madness around. This is designed to make it easier for you to face the real challenges that life offers instead of searching for the vague meanings of life. This is not a dose of motivation. This is not a bundle of postive thoughts to make you feel special. This is rather dark, this is rather brutal and this is rather an honest endeavour to help you face the mirror with pride everyday.
