A good book of a good man.
Nice book of true life stories. Quite gripping. Some funny, some thrilling and shocking.“An ode to my friend Vivek Ajinkya” was sad and touched one’s heart.“My pledge to the Almighty” was a tale of true grit and resolve and faith.After reading “Sher ka Puttar,” I did not know whether Rajoo was serious or did not understand the joke!!Overall, a good book of a good man.I wish photos of his dear daughters were included in his book. May be in the next edition. Best wishes.
