Five Fs of My Life: “The Road to Success Is Never Easy, but Hard Work, Passion and Positivity in Mind Make It Possible”

This book should not be construed as “For Senior Citizens only”, for it is equally inspiring for all age groups. The sole purpose of writing this book is to make my readers acquainted with the numerous ups & downs in life and how one can cope with it with his or her head held high and confidence level intact.

The book denotes the true essence of a meaningful life. It underlines:
▪ The virtues of life
▪ The ability to face problems courageously & with determination
▪ A never-say-die attitude to achieve goals with hard work, uprightness & Integrity
▪ A sense of detachment to sacrifice materialistic individual benefits
▪ A sense of togetherness to maintain Unity amongst four generations of Chawla Khandaan at any cost

Know what the lettered say about this book:

• I am sure that the younger generation of today will learn from your experiences as to how your family fell from a life of everything to nothing but rose again against all odds to achieve top positions in social strata with their hard work, determination, willpower & dignity. I wish you all the best.
