I use to return from school and sit for my self study classes at sharp 3.0pm .

This dedication had been imbued in me because of the good values taught to me and my younger brother from our parents.

Though i was being motivated by them to pursue science still the passion for languages was very deeply sowed in me . I used to practice writing Hindi and Sanskrit though both were tough languages and there written practice is a must to gain mastery over the craft .

Though in my Intermediate examination i gave up both the languages and went on to pursue science and cleared CPMT – the state level examination of UP for medicine and got Ayurveda from jhansi medical college – UP which i quitted .

For few years I didn’t know where my life was drifting , i was jobless , and in mid turbulent waters and through out my growing up years i knew nothing but studying . Here i was doing nothing . Then by the grace of god and an innate desire to work i got a job and it is here I picked up my passion for writing . My stories started getting published in leading newspapers and dailies and it was almost 20 years from my board examination when my first book got published .

Rest is history .

So my own life experience has taught me that nothing goes as a waste and at every step the efforts we are putting in our work is returning back to us later on in our lives as multiplied dividends .

Hence deciding when are we successful and when failure is just a matter of time .

Many a times our success is leading to failures and vice-versa .

Life is too long to decipher the meaning of success at any time. Our own endeavor should be just continuing with our efforts in life . The day won’t be far when we have got our desired results . Thus Success has to be redefined -it is the positive culmination of all our efforts at any given point of time
