Foreword by Dr Bala
When an eighty something year old and
a forty something year old put their minds together, time stops and magic is
created. Among many of the delightful and futuristic thoughts we were able to
incubate, we also hit upon the idea of a book. This book is not
your edge-of-the seat thriller or a run of the mill entertainer. In the
following pages, you will find, thoughts, ideas, moods, emotions, suggestions -
if you will. The book is to be read a few pages/thoughts at a time,
somewhat like the ‘Chicken Soup for the Soul’ series (although ours is way more
colourful and contains far less narrative!). Assimilate the contents of those
few pages and ruminate. You’ll also be pleasantly surprised at the universal
applicability of the ‘ism’s that appear in the following pages. Furthermore,
depending on your frame of mind, you will find different perspectives and
interpretations too.
There is something for everyone. You will be able to identify with much of the material in the book. Its beauty lies in being able to take you back in time to cull out so many memories to which you will surely be able to relate parts of the book! Prepare to be transported back in time to relive the experiences of your childhood, arguments with friends, precious moments with loved ones, duels with rivals, exhilarating wins, crippling losses – any memory that your beautiful mind has stored away in the hope that one day, some meaning may be derived from that specific experience. Wisdom and absurdity, experience and naïveté, brain and brawn, emotional maturity and youthful exuberance, values and attitudes – are all beautifully juxtaposed in a stimulating panorama of colour and text presenting a veritable feast for the eyes and ears. After all, we did promise you magic!We are different; we make the difference and here in the pages of this very book, we deliver to you, the difference! I sincerely hope you enjoy reading the book every bit as much as we enjoyed putting it together.
