Risky Success  (English, Paperback, Bish Mukherjee)

During my third cruise over the shimmering blue waters of the Mediterranean, sipping a Jaipur gin and tonic, listening to the mesmerising, husky-voiced Bonnie Tyler, I started jotting down unconnected incidents that came to mind. I was recollecting moments and not a chronological array of events. Although I grew up in a zenith of aristocracy, I left for Delhi to join my first job with Rs. 200 in my pocket. The much-anticipated financial support from my family suddenly vanished! When I decided to migrate to Australia eighteen years later, we carried $20 each as per Reserve Bank rules, leaving behind all our savings. I made a fresh start and achieved success once again. Risky Success is my story; a starry-eyed boy from Patna who played two innings starting from zero, taking calculated risks and achieving enviable success. My goal is to inspire my esteemed readers to shun depression, muster the courage to challenge disappointment and acquire signal success; and do these the happy way.
